This comedian pulled off a pretty great impression of Rocky on the streets of Philadelphia

In fact, comedian Dan Black did such a good job and proved so popular that he even got a crowd of admirers who followed him along his route, all the way to the iconic steps that Rocky runs up in his training montage.

He’s got the look down to a tee with his ‘Italian Stallion’ jumper, and a group of around 100 kids can’t help but get involved as they join him and make the famous journey along the streets to the tune of a song that sounds very similar to ‘Gonna Fly Now’, but is just different enough to avoid being sued.

The lads at Improv Everywhere, who are behind this video, will be doing a new movie every week during the autumn, so we look forward to getting a look at the next movie they decide to perform in real life.

Hat-tip to Mashable for the video.
