After watching both parts, I really got chills looking at this. I have all the soundtracks and the way you put the music to your shots is amazing man. I had a smile on my face for so long. Seeing this side of you and you AVGN persona, man you're a lot like me with my radio show. You have my respect as a film maker and cool as hell. Would love to interview you on the show one day. Great job. Rocky BEST MOVIE EVER!
James, fantastic job man! You are my inspiration to research and make some documentaries of my own. I live in NJ and have begun to research and visit many of the historical and interesting places in NJ and PA and film them. In fact my cousin has a jewelry store right across the street from the Colonial theater that you featured in your Blob video. I was there last weekend and will be again this weekend doing some work for her and I plan to film it while I'm there.
Just this summer I traveled to Philly I ran up those steps put my feet were rockys were and felt AMAZING just a movie can make you feel that way is incredible
I finally ran the steps in 2007, and on my mp3 player I was listening to the exact point of Gonna Fly Now that was playing in the first movie when Rock was running up. It was beyond amazing.
YO ! YOU REALLY CRAZY MAN, how u could....wow ! this is wonderful, i'm a rocky fan since i was a child, thank u, man.i liked it, this is great! ,one of the best thing i ever seen in youtube, thanks
I was also there for for the moving of the Rocky statue in 2006. I met Sylvester Stallone, and watched Rocky on the steps. I flew out of Montana just to see it. Wish I had talked to you, James!
James the amount of time you spent on this is truly insane. You need to get some place like SpikeTV to host this or even better yet put it up in their play list like thursday after noon 1-1:30pm
lol maybe some day, someone will pay real money to see the appartment in which you filmed the angry nerd vids...lol hell I'd pay money even now just to sit down and have an indepth discussion about gaming and movies, while drinking a beer with you. A true moment of geek epiphany that would be. Make me a price!! I assume cash is good!? :P (Joking of course...well maybe only partially :P)
When one sits back and looks at the entirety and vastness of all the work you do James, it's hard not to be awed. You kick ass dude, seriously. I and many others look upon you as an inspiration. Anyway, enough ass kissing, thx for making this vid I enjoyed it and found it fascinating. Rock on Bro
cujo dude if he likes rocky then y cant he express that u dont have any right to dismiiss it and y r watching this if u dont like rocky it was a create series y cause it was real none of this lazy computerized stuff
hey you should sell this to rocky you should show him if possible this video he could make a movie about "Locations of the rocky move" I am a big fan of The rocky Films and rambo And of course SLY himself but could you go to russia and look for the location of the training montages it would be very interesting :) But that is just a tip :)
oh and I forgot to make note of calling the buffalo a bull. Yes I know male bison are called bulls but I seriously doubt if thats what you meant. Also, both male and female bison have horns.
LOL! Thats not a deer its an elk. Its funny how no one from the east coast can identify US wildlife other than roaches. Other than that, good documentary. Well done.
Dude, you need to be making and getting paid to do documentaries for tv and real movies like for the History channel or something, because this is fricken great. O_O
Me and 29 other friends travelled all the way to philadelphia to do 2 things... To run those rocky steps (It was something epic when 30 guys are running at the same time those steps... And I have a picture from that :) What a great memory...) 2 To watch flyers game...
This was awesome work. I have always wanted to know the history behind the run and some of the scenes as well. I am surprised that you guys did not find the original Atomic Hoagie Shop or the Ice Rink that Adrian and Rocky had their first date--lol Great Job!
I did not know that there was a first part and was amazed that the atomic Hoagie Shop and Ice Rink were documented. This guy has it all just about covered. Incredible
You really must have done a lot of research to make this. Good work and interesting to see the things that change and those that don't change with the years.
Well done, I enjoyed this thoroughly. You put this unique touch in everything that you do, something that others are unable to feel or steal. Keep up the great work.
