Rocky - The Ultimate Trivia...

Film Trivia Metaverse

ROCKY
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY JOHN G. AVILDSEN
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE
ABOUT THE FILM
Rocky (1976) is a powerful sports drama directed by John G. Avildsen, written by and starring Sylvester Stallone. The film follows Rocky Balboa, an uneducated but determined Italian-American boxer living in Philadelphia. Working as a debt collector for a loan shark, Rocky gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fight Apollo Creed, the heavyweight champion, after Creed's opponent drops out. With the help of his trainer Mickey and support from his love interest Adrian, Rocky trains for the biggest fight of his life. The movie explores themes of perseverance, self-worth, and the pursuit of the American Dream against all odds.
TRIVIA SAMPLES:
“According to Burt Young, during filming of the scene where Paulie walks home drunk, an actual drunk wandered onto the location and told Young he wasn't acting drunk convincingly, so Young asked the man to demonstrate it. Young then copied the man's actions for the scene.”
“The ice rink scene was originally written to feature 300 extras, but the production couldn't afford so many people. When Sylvester Stallone turned up to shoot the scene, to his horror, there was only one extra. So, Stallone hastily threw together the scene as it exists in the completed film. This scene has become one of the most popular in the entire Rocky saga.”
“Sylvester Stallone and Carl Weathers suffered injuries during the shooting of the final fight: Stallone suffered bruised ribs, and Weathers suffered a damaged nose, the opposite injuries of what their characters had.”

Royal Robbins chronicles his early years growing up as a latchkey kid in Southern California, the push and pull between being an aspiring banker or one of the original Camp 4 dirtbags, and his later decades as a father, husband, kayaker, and the trailblazing founder of the outdoor apparel company that bears his name. This intimate, colorful tour of climbing history covering Yosemite, the Tetons, the Gunks, the Alps, the United Kingdom, and more from the 1960s onward features star characters such as Liz Robbins—Robbins's wife and a pioneering adventurer in her own right—Yvon Chouinard, John Harlin, Steve Roper, Warren Harding, Tom Frost, and Doug Tompkins. 
 
 
 
An important addition to our knowledge of the Golden Age of rock climbing in Yosemite and the development of the clean climbing ethos, Royal Robbins sheds new light on an elemental figure of outdoor culture.

The Rosetta Stone - Key to...

Omar Khalil

The discovery of the Rosetta Stone in 1799 was a momentous event in the history of archaeology and linguistics. The stone, a large slab of granodiorite, was found by a French soldier named Pierre-François Bouchard during Napoleon Bonaparte’s military campaign in Egypt. While working near the town of Rashid (or Rosetta), Bouchard uncovered the stone, which contained an inscription in three different scripts: Ancient Greek, Egyptian hieroglyphs, and Demotic. At the time, Egypt was under French control, and the discovery was initially made by a team of French engineers working on fortifications.
The significance of the stone would not be immediately apparent, as the study of hieroglyphs had long been a mystery to scholars. Despite attempts by earlier scholars, no one had yet succeeded in translating the ancient Egyptian script, leaving a vast portion of Egypt’s history locked away. The discovery of the Rosetta Stone, however, offered a potential breakthrough due to its trilingual inscription, which allowed for comparison between the known Greek text and the two unknown Egyptian scripts.
The stone’s inscription itself was a royal decree issued in 196 BCE by the Egyptian priests in honor of King Ptolemy V Epiphanes. It celebrated his reign and the various accomplishments he had achieved, including his efforts to maintain peace and the prosperity of Egypt. The decree was written in three scripts to ensure it would be understood by various segments of society—the Greek script for the Greek-speaking rulers and officials, the Demotic script for the common Egyptian people, and the hieroglyphic script for the priests and religious authorities.
