One of the best Rocky filming location tour videos available online, “Rocky Jumped a Park Bench” is a fan-guided tour around some of the most famous filming locations in Philadelphia, PA and earns its title from a visit to Philly’s Independence Hall, famous in the history books of American schoolchildren, but more famous to Rocky fans as the place where Rocky jumped over a park bench during his training montage in Rocky II.

Sites visited include the Rocky Steps, Mighty Mick’s Gym, the pet shop, and more, although the location featured in the video that is thought to be the site of the ice skating rink is incorrect. The actual rink where Rocky and Adrian had their first date still stands (located in Santa Monica, California) and the actual empty lot that Rocky and Paulie visit in Rocky Balboa (located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is still … an empty lot.
