10 Glaring Goofs That Will Ruin 2015's Best Films For You
3. Philly Cheese Steaks, Pathmark And Goodison Park - Creed
Creed turned out to be one of, if not the best instalment in the Rocky series, dragging the boxing franchise back to its feet after it seemed well and truly out for the count. It is the first Rocky film to be neither written nor directed by Sylvester Stallone, who is relegated to the Burgess Meredith role applying Vaseline to bloody eyebrows and chipping in with some obligatory been-there-done-that wisdom from time to time. His sympathetic performance compliments that of new star of the show Michael B Jordan, who helms this gritty sports drama with confidence. Neither actor can be blamed for Creeds shortcomings, things like Adonis (Jordan) paying for two Philly Cheese Steaks worth $5.95 apiece with a $20 note and getting $10 in change, for example. Ive never been to Philadelphia, but Im pretty sure the waitresses dont tip the customers there. Most of the mistakes should have been spotted before shooting began, such as there being a Pathmark supermarket opposite an LA gym when Pathmark was a chain exclusive to the North East. Also, when British champion Pretty Ricky Conlan enters the ring to face Adonis, the announcer says that 100,000 people have gotten to their feet, though it looks like far less, and thats because it is. The fight was filmed in Goodison Park, Liverpool, which has a capacity of less than 40,000. Guess they didnt have the budget to give old Goodison the Gladiator coliseum treatment.
