Rocky Horror vs Rocky Stalone


I know there was a Rocky Horror show in Britland before the movie, so does that mean either Stalone ripped off the title or it's a HUGE coincidence to have two movies with a shredded title character named Rocky, within a year of each other? Rocky Bulwinkle was just a moose and came years before.

Fans of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" refer to it as "Rocky", which occasionally causes a little confusion with the Sylvester Stallone movie. I swear I read that Susan Sarandon auditioned for the role of Adrian in the Sylvester Stallone movie but was deemed too pretty for the character. Rocky Horror started as a play then was made into a movie. Stallone's Rocky was a movie then was made into a Broadway musical. Please click on

Why is the title character even named Rocky Horror? Why Rocky? It's an rare italian name. What a super strange name.

Rocky Balboa's real name was Robert Balboa. He got the nickname because his idol was Rocky Marciano. How did Richard O'Brien come up with the name Rocky Horror?
