A Gaggle of Rockies from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"

Arguably one of the main draws of The Rocky Horror Picture Show is Rocky, the gold lame-clad muscle hunk who is created by Dr. Frank-n-Furter and experiences sexual awakening:

I am just seven hours old, truly beautiful to behold,
But somebody should be told, my libido hasn't been controled.
Now the only thing I've come to trust, is an orgasmic rush of lust.

Where else in cinema of the 1970s are you going to see so much bodybuilder physique?  And ever after, in the many Rocky imitators who gather every week for "absolute pleasure."

Here is an assortment of Rockies from various stage productions and homages.

Frank says specifically that Rocky has "blond hair and a tan," so this guy s technically doesn't qualify, but he certainly has the physique for the job.

I'm not sure if I buy Rocky with a beard, and black shorts seem rather a sacrilege.  Oh, well, look at those abs!

He's got the dopey King Kong grin right, and even better abs.

Helmet hair, but biceps to die for, and I'm warming up to the idea of leopard skin shorts.

I love a Rocky with a blatant bulge.
