We Ain't Heard No Bell Yet
Well, this is meat for a good discussion. IMBD(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100507/plotsummary) says South Philly. We know he returns there with Adrian and the little Rocky in Rocky V. According to Moviemistakes.com, there's a Rocky II goof where he's walking home from the Spectrum, but they show him under the Market-Frankford El is shown. And to make matters murkier, the house they used as Chez Balboa was at 1818 Tusculum St. in Kensington, indeed.
This is my favorite comment (even better than the guy who spells it "Rocky Baloba"), from the first Rocky Blog post: "Here is the deal. My name is Rodney. I am from Greenland. I have seen every Rocky movie once, and only once. Because each experience was SO good that I don't want to ruin my memories of the amazing movie by seeing it again and again and again. NO. ONLY ONCE, I said, WHEN I saw the first one, and I am sticking to it. The Rocky Movies are excellent films -- the five greatest films ever -- but they are to be viewed only once by me and I shall relive them in my memories forever. Sly I am excited to see Rocky 6 once AND ONLY once. and Hopefully I will see Rocky 7 and also Rockies 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 as well!"
Good detective work there.
I remember being in Montenegro the summer of 2000, as war with Milosevic loomed. The late night tv in the apartment I rented carried a station named Pink, and between turbo folk videos and dismal adult features, it played Rocky movies with Serbo-Croatian subtitles. He's tapped into something universal.
If I can change, then yous can change, we can all change.
"If I can change, then yous can change, we can all change." try translating THAT into Serbian.
Nice Ivan Drago reference. Very cool. If you want to laugh, there's a great Drago parody by satirist Rob Bloom, it's here: http://www.robbloom.com/creative/drago.htm
