Rocky Climbed a Mountain (Rocky IV filming locations)

  • Have you ever wondered where the training scenes from Rocky IV were filmed at? I made the journey, matching up shots and doing my best to get as close as possible to some of the more elusive (and dangerous) locations that Sylvester Stallone bravely conquered as Rocky Balboa in his quest to become strong enough to defeat the human monster Ivan Drago.

    If it makes you feel any better James, that's not Stallone on top of the mountain in the helicopter shot. Stallone has an aversion to heights and had a double/stuntman stand in for him for that shot. So Sly didn't go up there either.
    Also, Rocky seems to fight on Christmas in "Rocky V."

      I do love the “What were they thinking” reference, but as someone who has climbed mountains before, I can tell you it’s not as simple as just bringing climbing equipment. Any pro doc you’ve seen with dangerous mountain climbs are skilled climbers with skilled cameramen and have worked out thousands of dollars of insurance. This was two fans finding filming locations. I’d say they did quite well.

    So putting the coordinates James called out (43°35'08.1"N, 110°53'24.0"W) will take you to the mountain. If you drag the little guy out for a street view, there is a blue dot you can drop and see a 360 picture. In the picture a woman is sitting on the box James was asking about.

      What disqualifies it from being a documentary? In the description it is described as a documentary, so even if this didn't qualify as a documentary, or part of a series of videos in a Rocky film franchise shooting locations documentary, some would likely still refer to it as a documentary because of the video's description.
