<P> In 2006, Rocky creator Sylvester Stallone recounted the genesis of the iconic scene: (while filming the 1976 movie) the film crew, bound by a tight budget, identified the steps one night while searching for filming locations around the city . Stallone first thought Rocky should carry his dog Butkus up the steps, but the big bull mastiff proved too heavy for the scene to work . Still, the view from the top of the stairs inspired him to reshoot the scene without the dog . Also in Rocky Balboa, Rocky lifts his dog Scraps when he reaches the top of the steps . The closing credits of Rocky Balboa shows a montage of dozens of people running up the steps . </P> <P> This scene was one of the first uses in a major film of the Steadicam, a stabilized camera mount that allows its operator to walk and even climb steps while smoothly filming . </P> <P> Before Rocky III, released in 1982, Stallone commissioned A. Thomas Schomberg to create a bronze statue of Rocky . Three 2 - ton, 10 - foot - tall copies were cast . One was installed atop the steps for the filming of Rocky III, and was ultimately relocated at the bottom of the steps . The second Rocky is in the San Diego Hall of Champions Sports Museum in San Diego, California . The third was planned, but was not cast . </P> <P> It is unknown if Schomberg ever cast the third Rocky statue, but it has been put up for auction several times to raise funds for charities . The third was listed on eBay three separate times between 2002 - 2005, with a starting bid of US $5,000,000, then US $3,000,000, and finally $1,000,000 to raise funds for the International Institute for Sport and Olympic History, but since it has failed to sell it is unknown if the third was ever cast . </P>
