Filming primarily took place in New Orleans, Louisiana, from late 2012 to March 2013. Several scenes were shot in downtown Pittsburgh and at the Edgar Thomson Steel Works, helping to recreate the city's industrial atmosphere. Street scenes were filmed at 1000 South Peters Street, and the club "Knocked Out" is located at 529 Bienville Street.

Filming Locations:

Boxing Ring

In the Movie

The scene where the fight of the year takes place, watched by the entire country. In March 1982, the great boxers "Kid" and "Razor" clashed in the ring. Both had never been defeated before, and an incredible number of people were rooting for each of them.

In Reality

The scene was filmed in downtown Pittsburgh. In this area, modern skyscrapers intersect with historic buildings, creating a unique contrast. Here you can find several iconic places that reflect the city's industrial heritage, including old factories and plants that were an important part of its history.

Razor's House

In the Movie

The scene where many years after the decisive fight, promoter Dante Slate Jr. comes to "Razor," who now works at a shipyard due to financial difficulties. Dante offers Razor a new way to earn money – participating in the creation of a video game based on their fight with "Kid."

In Reality

The scene was filmed at the house located at 405 Park Boulevard in New Orleans. The house embodies the southern charm typical of New Orleans and well reflects Razor's character, as well as his difficult life circumstances (no offense to New Orleans). However, it is important to note that the house is privately owned, and therefore, access inside is not permitted for visitors.

Street

In the Movie

The scene where after receiving a call from Razor confirming his participation in the fight, Dante goes into ecstasy. In a moment of pure joy, he shouts, "I'm rich!" Then he gets out of the car and walks away, leaving the car in the middle of a traffic jam.

In Reality

The scene was filmed on South Peters Street, located in the heart of New Orleans. It runs through the Central Business District and borders the lively Warehouse District. This is a historic part of the city, known for its 19th-century brick warehouses that have been converted into stylish restaurants, galleries, and boutiques. The street's proximity to the Mississippi River and the French Quarter makes it an attractive filming location, combining industrial charm with classic New Orleans architecture.
