Flying Pyramids, Soaring Stones

2004
Movie

It is one of the greatest mysteries of all time. How did the ancient Egyptians build the pyramids and lift obelisks? Theories about ropes, ramps, ingenuity and brute force abound. Even aliens have been credited. But there is still no definitive answer to solve this enigma. Now, an extraordinary new theory is put to the test. Is it possible that these ancient sailors could have also harnessed the power of the wind on land and used land sails - or kites - to help lift heavy stones? That is what Dr. Maureen Clemmons believes. With an elite team of Caltech aeronautical engineers to help her with her investigation, Clemmons puts her theory to the test and achieves the extraordinary.

Movie

Not to be confused with any of the sequels to Sylvester Stallone's classic Oscar-winning Rocky, this short film from Finnish filmmaker Aki Kaurismäki is actually meant as a parody of the late Cold War-era Rocky IV, which saw Stallone's character taking on a juiced-up Russian fighter played by Dolph Lundgren. In this 1986 send-up, Rock'y, played by Silu Seppala, goes head to head with Soviet Igor (Sakari Kuosmanen) and loses.
