Sylvester Stallone
simply get out of the van and run along the quays whilst Avildsen himself filmed from the side door. A similar story concerns the famous shot of Rocky jogging through the food market. As he runs, the stall keepers and the people on the sidewalks can clearly be seen looking at him in bemusement. Whilst this works in the context of the film to suggest theyre looking at Rocky, in reality, they had no idea why this man was running up and down the road being filmed from a van.
