Despite what you read, 'Shocky' isn't a sequel to 'Rocky'. Instead, it's more of a stand-alone film - a spin-off. It's the continuing story of Brad and Janet (here played by Cliff De Young and Jessica Harper instead of Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon) but here are no direct references to the other film in it
What the two films do share, however, are a number of cast members - Richard O'Brien, Patricia Quinn, Little Nell and Charles Gray all appear in both films, albeit as different characters
It's entertaining, but not really immediate, and not a film that would appeal to an audience on it's own merits. Most people like it because of the 'Rocky' connection
Probably the only thing it has in it's favour is a great soundtrack
Nevertheless, it will be a certain purchase for me
