ROCKY 3 Facts You Didn't Know! #shorts

Description

In the making of Rocky III, a larger-than-life bronze statue was created by A. Thomas Schomberg and placed atop the famous steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Arts. Despite Sylvester Stallone's attempts to donate the statue to the museum, it was initially rejected as they saw it as nothing more than a "movie prop". This sparked a heated debate between the museum and the city's Art Commission about the definition of "art". The decision outraged locals who were passionate about the statue. Eventually, the statue found its way to the front of the Wachovia Spectrum in South Philadelphia. It was later returned to the Art Museum for filming of Rocky V, but then put into storage until it was moved to a park at the base of the iconic steps leading up to the Philadelphia Museum of Arts. The story of this statue is a testament to the cultural significance of Rocky and the passion of its fans. #shorts #rocky #didyouknow #moviefacts #moviedetails #sylvesterstallone
