Did You Know This in Rocky 3? During the making of the film, a nine-foot-tall, 1,500-pound bronze statue designed by Thomas Schomberg, was placed at the top of the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. After filming wrapped, Sylvester Stallone tried to donate the statue to the museum, but they said they didn’t want it, sparking a huge debate between the museum, and the city’s art commission about what constituted “art.” The museum claimed the statue was nothing more than a “movie prop,” and didn’t want it. Local people were outraged, and the statue was ultimately placed in front of the Wachovia Spectrum in South Philadelphia. It was later returned to the Art Museum for the filming of Rocky 5, after which it was again moved to the front of the museum. Later, the statue was put into storage, and then moved to a park at the foot of the famous stairs leading up to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Great isn’t it.! #shorts #rocky #didyouknow #moviefacts #moviedetails #sylvesterstallone
