Rocky Steps Secret: Stallone's On-the-Fly Movie Magic
Update: 2025-09-18
Description
Sylvester Stallone reveals the surprising, almost accidental, origin of Rocky's iconic Philadelphia steps run on The Tonight Show. Facing budget constraints and lacking permits, the scene was filmed guerilla-style, but Stallone's first attempt failed when he tried carrying his 130-pound bull mastiff! This spur-of-the-moment shot became a legendary symbol of overcoming obstacles, inspiring his upcoming memoir, The Steps (May 2026). Stallone reflects on life's struggles, perseverance, and his keep punching philosophy, while also teasing season 3 of Tulsa King (Paramount Plus, September 21).
