Rocky II Trivia Quiz

Answer: Yes

After Rocky was informed by Apollo that he had indeed fought his hardest, Rocky was reassured that his fight with Apollo wasn't just for show. Rocky was content that he really put up a great match against the greatest boxer on Earth. After that peaceful moment, Rocky left the hospital with Adrian. Immediately after he stepped out the door, Rocky was offered an advertising deal.

Answer: Pennino

The marriage scene, in "Rocky II", was the first and only time Adrian's original last name was mentioned in the "Rocky" series. The last name was chosen by Talia Shire because it had a certain significance to her; Pennino was her mother's maiden name. Throughout the rest of the film, and the rest of the "Rocky" series, Adrian's last name was Balboa.

Answer: A car

The car that Rocky purchased was a Pontiac Trans-Am. Adrian was unsure of his driving ability, but he reassured Adrian by telling her he could drive. Due to the eye injuries he suffered in the ring against Apollo, Rocky's ability to drive diminished as his blind spots were dramatically increased.

After the purchase of the automobile, Rocky purchased a tiger jacket for himself, new watches for Adrian, himself and Paulie, a new collar for Butkus and finally, a condominium.

Answer: Beast After Shave

The commercial was originally supposed to be quick and easy. Rocky was only supposed to read the lines, and then get his money. The problem was that he had difficulty reading. This was caused by both his eye injury, sustained in his fight against Apollo Creed, as well as the difficulty he had with reading. He was eventually kicked off of the set and given no money for his efforts.

Answer: Haul the beef

After a very short period of working in the plant, Rocky was laid off because of labor cut backs. It seemed that everything he did led him back to his roots as a fighter. Rocky suggested that he should fight, but Adrian still wouldn't allow it. Therefore, Adrian got her old job back at the pet shop, and Rocky decided to help Mickey at his gym.

Answer: She slipped into a coma.

The reason that Adrian fell into such a deep coma, after she gave birth, was that she began to hemorrhage internally. Although Rocky was training for the biggest fight of his life, he decided to stop entirely, just to be with his wife. Upon Adrian's recovery, Rocky continued his training with new motivation; Adrian telling him to win.

Answer: A chicken

In the beginning of his training regime, Rocky found the chasing of a chicken to be quite embarrassing. The first time that Rocky was seen chasing the chicken, Rocky was too slow for it. Near the end, after a training montage seen by viewers of the film, Rocky caught the chicken and thus, showed that he achieved the next level of speed.

Answer: Yes

Although Rocky was taught to switch when Mick would say so, he chose not to revert back to his original style immediately - he saved that for the end. Apollo Creed was defeated because he did not anticipate Rocky to fight right handed and then revert to left handed in the dying seconds of the match. For all of the sequels, however, Rocky returned to his left-handed fighting style.

Answer: Rocky was going down.

After Apollo told that to the press, he unleashed a furious storm of punches that began with his trademarked hurricane punch. After that, he utilized his speed to pound away until Rocky hit the canvas. Rocky was not defeated, however he had broken his nose once again.

Answer: One

After knocking Apollo down, Rocky took the tumble with him to the canvas. The scene then slowed down, and the countdown began just as slowly. It was arguably one of the most dramatic moments in the movie, as it was unclear whether Rocky or Apollo would win.

At the count of nine, Apollo Creed dropped against the corner of the ring, and just before the referee counted to ten, Rocky jolted up and claimed victory over Apollo. He then shouted to the T.V camera "Yo Adrian, we did it!"
