Biography from TheMovieDB

At 17 years old Rocket played hockey for England and was also selected to play netball for her country. She turned to athletics and joined Birchfield Harriers Athletic Club and soon reached international standard at 400 metres and the heptathlon.  She won a silver medal in the National Indoor Championships, silver in the Combined Event Championships '94 and the Indoor Championships '96. Rocket has also represented Great Britain in an international events, was triple gold medallist in the Scottish East District Championships 1997, British AAA's Indoor Pentathlon Gold Medallist 1997 and also won the 100 metres in the Florida Relays in Gainesville, achieving her personal best time.  Rocket was an excellent all-round Gladiator, particularly excelling in the strength events such as Duel and Powerball and the speed events such as Pendulum and Pole-Axe. She brought lots of enthusiasm and aggression to the Gladiators team.  Rocket missed competing in the 1998 Gladiators series as she was busy training in order to compete in the 1998 Commonwealth Games held in Kuala Lumpur. Her coach was none other than Gladiators Referee John Anderson.  In 1999, along with fellow Gladiators Rio and Rebel, Rocket appeared in the Ridley Scott film 'Gladiator' which was filmed in Malta.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
