Do they really do this in Philly?
...standing around garbage can on fire, and sing Doo-Wop songs late into the night?
Because the Rocky films will have you believe that this is a common past-time.
That was something more prevalent on the east coast during the 1950's-1960's. I don't remember people still doing that in 1979. I think it was a way just to shoehorn his brother Frank Stallone into the movie.
sharethey even alluded to it in Rocky V, where Frank Stallone doesn't appear.... During the street fight, there's a quick cutaway to a reaction shot of some stand-ins at the ol' firey garbage can.
