    • Trivia
      According to interviews, Patricia Quinn only took a role in the play because she loved the opening song "Science Fiction - Double Feature". She was upset when she didn't get to sing the song in this movie, but agreed to lip-sync the words as the pair of red lips in the beginning, with vocals by Richard O'Brien.
    • Goofs
      When Janet and Brad are scuttling off to the side of the stage at the end of 'Wild and Untamed Thing', she accidentally stabs his foot with her high heel, causing him to wince and stumble in pain.
    • Quotes

      [last lines]

      The Criminologist - An Expert: And crawling on the planet's face, some insects, called the human race... lost in time... and lost in space... and meaning.

    • Crazy credits
      At the very end of the film, The credits read: "The characters portrayed in this film are ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS and bear no resemblance to anyone living OR DEAD!"
    • Alternate versions
      The DVD contains a 'Conceptual Version' which has everything up to "The Time Warp" in black and white, included as an 'Easter Egg'.

    This one passes the vibe check.

    Some movies are just meant to be felt.

    The status of this film as a beacon for sexual identity and deviancy speaks for itself. I am glad this film exists and exudes charisma for the sexually repressed to feel seen.

    Other than that I really like how much this film loves other films. It's countless references and homages to previous horror films and studios are neat.

    As with many musicals that have roots to stage production, you get the feeling that a little bit of magic is lost by just watching this on a TV at home and not experiencing the production of it.

    Really glad I got around to watching this cult classic. I now understand why this film is so iconic.

    • What exactly do Dr. Everett Scott and Frank N Furter have to do with each other?
    • What's the difference between the US and UK versions?
    • When I started to attend Midnight Showings, they had the U.S. version of the film. Why do they only show the U.K. version these days?
