Pet Store in ‘Rocky’ Movie Torn Down
The pet shop featured in the film Rocky has been demolished.
FOX’s Michelle Pollino reports:
“Hey, how’s my buddy doing today? Yo Butkus!”
A Philadelphia pet shop that was featured in the film ‘Rocky’ is gone:
“The last turtle food I got here had more moss in it then flies.”
The pet store in the films that made Sylvester Stallone famous has been demolished:
“And these moths they get caught in the turtles throat right back here and it coughs. And I gotta smack them on the back of the shell and what do you think they get?”
A tour guide was taking a group there Thursday when he told Philly.com he came upon construction crews:
“And they get what? Come on? Shell shocked.”
In the movie, Rocky meets and courts Adrian in the fictional pet store, which was also a pet store in real life. However, it had been empty for several years.
