Eye of the tiger was Rocky 3, 1982. Rocky 4 was 1990.
I was actually there the night it closed. If you dressed in 50’s attire or drove in with a classic vintage car you got in for free. I drove my 58 Edsel. The movie was Rocky 4.. Eye of the tiger.

Denny Pine cleared up a memory I have of seeing a movie on the South Park screen while headed for the skating rink — I couldn’t figure out how I could remember that, if it was Winter, why would a drive-in be open? But it was open year-long. Denny mentions the green fence to hide the screen, though. Anyone know how I could remember being able to see the screen from within a passing car?
Ron3853 knows what was playing on the screen. Anybody know how I might track down what was playing circa ‘74-'75?
Also, I wonder what was playing on Sept 1 ‘85, the night it was torn down?
The films playing at the South Park Drive-In on the date of the aerial photo above were “One Million Years, B.C.” with Raquel Welch and “The Quiller Memorandum” with George Segal.

I remember working the South Park Drive-In as a projectionist for Local 171 in Pittsburgh. My regular job was the Fairgrounds Drive-In on the other side of South Park.
