Being a native Philadelphian comes with certain responsibilities. Some of these responsibilities include preferring Tony Luke’s to tourist hotspot Geno’s, and loving all of the "Rocky" movies unconditionally and from the bottom of your heart. Since I have a deep phobia of cheesesteaks, I have the second one covered. I have been to the statue, I have run up the Art Museum stairs with that annoying theme song playing in my mind, and I have two fish appropriately named Cuff and Link. Yes, dear reader, I love Rocky!
If an epic coming-of-age movie about a Kennsington boxer isn’t your thing, there is no need to fret. Philadelphia has been the backdrop to dozens of other movies and television shows including "The Sixth Sense," "In Her Shoes," "12 Monkeys," "Beloved," "Up Close and Personal," "Unbreakable" and "National Treasure." Now you can have the chance to discover a little bit of Philadelphia history that’s not in the textbooks. You can get the inside scoop on some of your favorite stars and films that were all shot right in Philly! You can visit the locations where all of the action took place and learn how the stunts and dialogues were performed. The tour takes you through Center City, Old City, Queen Village, South Philadelphia, the Parkway Museum District and the Fairmount/Art Museum area. It will visit 38 sites representing more than 25 movies and television shows that have been made in Philadelphia. At the 38 locations, you will see more than 55 movie clips that took place at that exact location. The tour bus is equipped with TV monitors for viewing all of these famous shots.
The tour is approximately two-and-a-half hours long and takes place every Saturday at 10 a.m. Tickets are $35 for adults, $30 for seniors and children under 12. For more information please visit www.toursignup.com/movie.
