I love this movie, here in Puerto Rico got to go to two live shows were they put the movie on screen and people live act in front of it and the public can participate and have props related to the movie 🤗🥰
Fun Fact: since its release, there has never been a time that Rocky Horror Picture Show has not been playing somewhere. Therefore, its initial release never ended, making it, at 46 years and counting, the longest running first-run movie in history.
And they're right, you really need to see this film with an audience in a theater - you're missing at least half the fun.
Tim Curry put you under his spell. I swear nobody can watch this and not fall in love with him
Funny you put it that way. He was a wonderful singer too and had a few albums. One of the songs he did was a great cover of "I Put a Spell on You".
just like brad!
@@bradparnell614 he KNEW what he was doing
Tim Curry's entrance is the most magnificent thing in the whole of film history.
Um no.
Both his entrance and exit in "Sweet Transvestite."
You're saying you shivered with antici.........
.....pation?
@@ShadowyFox_86 😁
The fantastic Tim Curry, brilliant performance. Tim Curry was the original "Pennywise" in the first making of the horror film "It".
Fun fact:
There was a Twitter user a long time ago named Frank Furter. He quoted a line to the song and ended the tweet "antici........
Five years later he finished the tweet: "......pation"
In the song at the beginning of the movie "Science Fiction/Double Feature", the person singing is obviously Richard O'Brien, but the lips that are "singing" belong to Patricia Quinn, who played Magenta, the maid.
In the scene where Dr. Frank N. Furter pulled the table cloth away revealing Eddie's body, Tim Curry was the only one who was told what was under it, because director Jim Sharman wanted the cast's shocked reaction to be real.
Susan Sarandon (Janet Weiss) was sick with the flu, or pneumonia, depending on the source when they filmed the "floor show" scene, and Richard O'Brien (Riff Raff) said she was "shaking with fever".
The part of Rocky was played by Peter Hinwood, an underwear model who had no acting experience. All of his speaking lines were cut and his singing voice was dubbed by a singer named Trevor White This was the only movie Hinwood appeared in, as he gave up acting after the movie was finished.
Mick Jagger, the lead singer of The Rolling Stones, wanted to play the part of Dr. Frank N. Furter, but was turned down in favor of Tim Curry.
Tim Curry (Dr. Frank N. Furter) and Meat Loaf (Eddie) later appeared together on an episode of "Saturday Night Live". Curry was the guest host and Meat Loaf was the musical guest.
In the dinner scene, Barry Bostwick (Brad) slams his fist down on the table, accidentally hitting Susan Sarandon's (Janet's) hand. Then later, during the floor show, if you look closely, when Janet is doing her dance, she steps on Brad's foot, visibly hurting him.
Tim Curry once tried to see a midnight showing of the film at the Waverly theater in New York, but was thrown out by an usher who thought he was an imposter. After showing the usher his passport, the usher apologized and invited him in, but Curry declined.
Tim Curry gave the following advice to future Frank N. Furters: "Don't think of it as being in drag, because it's not. It's just what people wear in Transylvania, so get over it".
I played Dr. Frankenfurter for six shows in an extracurricular high school drama class. There's nothing like having never worn heels, then jumping right into acting and dancing in them, which is why Tim Curry deserves all the credit in the world.
To be fair to Tim Curry, he had two years worth of experience, having played Frank N. Furter in the stage production before the movie.
Girl your interpretation of the movie is so incredible I've never the 20+ years I've watched it never heard someone put the meaning so eloquently. Most people just don't get it. They can't get past the fishnets and heels to see if about self love and the acceptance of being different and to not be afraid to be who you are and be loved for it. Hope that a new fan has been created. Please if you find a midnight showing don't miss going to see it the way it is meant to be seen. Remember to dress as your favorite character when you go.
The opening is an homage to all the 50's/60's SciFi films that we had watched growing up back then.
Tim Curry is such a treasure. You need to see him in Legend (1985) and Clue.
Yeah, great movies and he is great in those.
Not forgetting Muppet Treasure Island.
Agreed!
There was a TV show on NBC called "Earth 2" in which he excelled as well.
Tim Curry was in Clue????!!!! I need to watch it again!
Tim! Tim! Tim! The bit where he comes down in the lift…omg! That moment has become a family tradition. Picture this: my mum, 88 years young, waltzing around the house singing I’m a Sweet Transvestite…😂😂😂
(Edit, the two at the door were re enacting the painting American Gothic. And Tim Curry was also the minister at the start, and Richard O Brien who played Riff Raff, (long white hair and hunchback.) was the tall guy at the door re enacting the painting.)
I LOVE YOUR MOM!!!
@@ReleaseTheQuackers lol Tim was her absolute favourite! I wish I’d had it on video🤣🤣🤣
The Rocky Horror cannot be taken in a linear way...it is to just enjoy.
I was a young mother in 1976 when I first saw this movie. It was shown in a large suburban theater (before such theaters were cut up into multiplexes). I went in the middle of the day in the middle of the week with my boyfriend, and we were one of only 5 couples who were the entirety of the audience for that showing. Midway through the film, 2 couples got up & left, terribly confused. Boyfriend & I had no clue what the movie was about, but from the very beginning credits (the Lips singing about all those classic monster movies) we were enchanted. Come the end of the film, we were singing along, while the other couples who had managed to remain filed out nearly white-faced & silent, in shock & confusion. Boyfriend & I immediately stopped at a record shop and bought the soundtrack, which we played nearly to death for the next few weeks.
About a year later, I took a new boyfriend to see the film at a Saturday evening show at the Key Theater in Georgetown, Washington, DC, excited to share this film experience with him. I thought to surprise him with this outrageous movie, but I was also surprised by this introduction to the 'audience participation' experience of Rocky Horror! Watching the movie at home is a reduced experience. I at least had the big screen & surround sound of a theater my first viewing, but even that is not as immersive as a small art film theater full of fans reacting not to but WITH the film on screen! Someday, you must attend a public showing to get some part of that.
You can see why this has such a cult following. Such a crazy, wild ride and completely original. The songs are total ear-worms, too. I don't know what Richard O'Brien was smoking back in the day, but he pulled a moment of pure creative genius out of the early 70's.
Tim Curry is brilliant, anything he does he steals it and shines.
someone said even in a one star movies that tim curry is in he is THE star
The Greatest entrance in Movie history .
This movie was (is?) best seen at a theater with audience participation. Lots of props, costumes, and partying. Lots of trivia related jokes fly from the audience, among other things. Everytime "GREAT SCOTT" is shouted, Scott's toilet paper is tossed around. Newspapers over heads while squirt guns simulate rain. Just two examples of so much more that happened.
Toast
@@karendeloof8306 A TOAST ! 🍞
Agree completely. Just watching it alone doesn't do it...
Whatever happened to Fay Wray?
Audience: I don't CARE what happened to Fay Wray!
Not sure if anyone else remembers but that's a reference to an old kids movie called Really Rosie, who for some reason liked saying "Whatever happened to chicken SOOP"
@@EverlastingHobnocker Fay Wray was also the heroine in King King (the original). When I used to see the midnight showings nearly 40 years ago, the usual thing was:
Frank: Whatever happened to Fay Wray?
Audience: King Kong ate her!
Frank: That delicate, satin-draped frame
Audience: He ate that, too.
There's much more, but the above is about as clean as it gets.
My teen years, every Fri/Sat. Know all the lines & brought the standard props (rice, news paper, water pistol, playing cards, toilet paper, etc.). I had a girlfriend who used to do the floorshow along with the movie. Fun times. I took my daughter when she was about 18 to see the floorshow & movie when it came to our town theater. The hosts asked if their were any virgins (1st time seeing show) in the audience on line before we went in. I pointed out my daughter & her girlfriend, they were christened with a huge "V" in red lipstick on their foreheads . They were mad at first, they got over it lol.
It was a lot of fun bringing unsuspecting "virgin" friends to the show, only to stand up and point at them yelling "VIRGINS!" to the crowd while watching their embarrassed and bewildered faces. LOL, good times indeed.
Let's do the Time Warp today! 🎶 😄 🎶
Fun Fact: 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.
We’d all pile into the theater in the 80’s and sing and dance along to this at the local theater for the Midnight showings of this . We took toast and rain and all the props necessary for a full complete rocky Horror experience !!! Surreal and amazing
Tim Curry is the voice of the father in the cartoon “The Thornberrys”. He is in many movies too.
I was so relieved by your reaction to Frank. I showed this movie once to a Tim Curry fan who was unfamiliar, and she claimed she was traumatized. LOL
"HE DIDN'T LIKE ME. HE NEVER LIKED ME"
You do realize what they were having for dinner...Meatloaf!
Meatloaf AGAIN?
Meat Loaf played Eddie and Dr. Scott (dual role) in the stage show. Story is that Keith Moon of The Who enjoyed going to see The Rocky Horror Show.
Her little giggles when Frank walked in was so darn adorable 😭🖐
Tim Curry can play any role he is given to perfection. Check him out in the original version of Stephen King's "It", in which he plays the murderous clown, Pennywise. He was also the villain, Darkness, in Ridley Scott's "Legend", which also stars Tom Cruise and Mia Sarah.
And don't forget the voice of the evil spirit of forest destruction Nexus in Ferngully. His voice brought a richness to that cartoon.
Dr Frank n Furter was the original Pennywise the clown in the Steven King movie It.The character Riff Raff is the creator/writer of this movie
I remember the midnight showing that people went to with props of squirt guns for the rain, newspapers for walking in the rain and toast to throw when they toast in the movie. The stopped running the move because they were damaging the screen in the end.
There have been Audience Participation events of the movie ever since it was released. I've never been to one but they do look like loads of fun. You can dress up as one of the characters and bring props to use at certain points of the movie like water guns for when it's raining for example. The audience get to say stuff to the screen as well which is hilarious. Most of the stuff they shout at the screen is pretty rude but still funny.
Here is a clean example. When Janet says "Where did that motorcyclist come from?", the audience sings the Twilight Zone theme tune.
Fun fact the guy who wrote the movie Richard o Brian was also tv presenter for a game show called the Crystal maze in the 80s and 90s
Also I loved Tim Curry in the movie adaptation of the board game CLUE
I'm doing audience lines in my head. Girl, you need to go to a midnight showing of this for the full audience participation experience
I'm saying them while I'm watching 🤣
@@Spindler2007 Here in Milwaukee, they have been running this movie since the 70's at the Oriental Theater, making it the longest theater movie run in history. I think they do it once a month now since stuff has opened back up. I took my daughter when she turned 18 a few years back. Our cast is called "Sensual Daydreams" with members from here & Chicago.
@@briansredd awesome. I'm sure there are events like this here in the UK but I don't think they're as frequent as in the US.
I saw this in '79 at the university of hawaii when I was a freshman in h.s. - love it!
We let our kids start watching it when they were young teens.
Girl, we used to dress up and go see this every Friday night at midnight and yell bad things at the screen during those long pauses lol ! And Tim Curry was a thing of BEAUTY in fishnets and a corset !! 💋
Welcome to the world of the weird! This was a staple when I was a teenager. Rocky Horror midnight show! We would sing along, dance, throw toast and toilet paper, squirt water all over... What a great time!!!
My dad took me to see it in the theatre when I was a year old I don't remember it, but he described it the same as your experience dad said I just looked around at everything confused.
if you haven't seen this in a Midnight show in the theater, YOU HAVEN'T SEEN this movie. You talk to the screen and the actors answer back
A classic no matter what anyone else says.
Great reaction! So many reactors don't "get it" without the audience experience which adds so much.
Despite Tim Curry's incredible performance, it was many years before he got another acting job as he was so closely identified with the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Tim Curry (Dr. Frank N. Furter), Richard O'Brien (Riff Raff- the handyman), Patricia Quinn (Magenta- the maid) and Nell Campbell, credited as Little Nell (Columbia- the groupie) were all seen in the wedding at the beginning. Curry was the priest, and O'Brien, Quinn and Campbell were the couple that were cleaning up in the church after the wedding.
There was a time you couldn't start a party without playing the Timewarp. Nothing sexier than Tim Curry in this - he's been in lots of things, you probably have seen him before. Just not like this.
The live shows were even better. The audience participation is legendary.
I would have liked this 100 more times if I could have. LOVED
Susan Sarandon would later win an Oscar for Dead Man Walking and the character of Brad by Barry Bostwick won a Tony on Broadway. Meatloaf is a Grammy winner so a very talented cast for an oddball film! Tim Curry is perfect for his role and a comic genius. Richard ‘O’Brien the servant wrote The Rocky Horror Show then it became a film which eventually gained cult status. Tim Curry is BRILLIANT in CLUE.
I loved to go see this at the local theater with the live cast and audience participation. You bring props and dress in costumes. So much fun. You’re missing some of the reason this has such a following and is considered a classic... unfortunately just watching it this way. And we do the Time Warp dance in the aisles.
This movie made a fortune as it was shown every weekend at theaters, especially around the college towns.
I did that also in the 80’s! Toast, rain! Newspapers ! So fun ! Amazing 🤩
went on Halloween once. got home after taking out rice from pants and shirt
Oh girl, Tim Curry is one of my all-time favorite actors!!! This movie, Clue, and Legend are my favorites of his movies!
starts at the church
"Why are they so weird?"
"OHHHHHHHHHHH just you wait....."
Omg, used to go to the Vogue Theater in Louisville, KY for the midnight movie on weekends way back when!!! Good times!😍😍😍😎
Oh yeah, and the White Castle there in St. Matthews after those Halloween shows. What a trip! It was never the same after they renovated the theater though.
@@bradparnell614 used to live in St. Matthews!! Off of Primrose Dr., near the old Target...😊 probably long gone by now.
You should go see it on stage, the audience dress up like the characters 😀
The Hunchback Servant wrote the show, as he says himself, he kept failing Auditions, so went home and wrote Rocky Horror Show 😁
Susan Sarrandon was so young lol Tim Curry too
The two people "acting weird" at the back of the opening Wedding scene are a nod to Grant Wood's picture American Gothic. This film has more cookies than a biscuit factory.
The 2 figures at the church door are recreating the painting American Gothic. It is a very famous image x
the same image thats on the wall when riff is doing the time warp, and opens the coffin the painting is on the wall
Fun Fact, but right at the beginning the woman getting married is played by Hilary Farr. She's the host of 'Love It Or List It'. There have been 4 spin offs but hers is the original Toronto show ... and later episodes from North Carolina.
What's the point you ask? In one line: "Don't dream it, be it." A bit ironic for the bridge and tunnel kids who commuted to the Village on weekends to dress up and play the parts in the midnight movies, and went back to their normal lives the rest of the week. But overall, it did encourage many to be their true selves.
I had to watch your reaction to this… glade you actually enjoyed it. What fun right! Classic I know this movie by heart
OMG, after shadowcasting this for over 10 years, watching someone watching it for the first time, intently following the story and getting into it without the audience is interesting haha. I was really tempted to write out all the call back lines for all the scene shown haha
When Tim Curry pulled the cloth from the dinner table, the cast reactions were real.
Richard O'Brien told them it was a normal table, as he wanted the genuine shock factor on film.
Rocky Horror Picture Show is such a cult classic there are still some places that do midnight screenings, and plays
I must have seen this film 20 or 30 times and the live stage show as well but watching your reaction made me realise just how much fun it was - to see it through new eyes again. Great reaction
The unsmiling couple at the church door are a parody of Grant Wood's famous painting American Gothic.
The guy who plays Riff Raff, the butler, is Richard O’Brien, the writer of all this wonderful craziness.
Very much a musical! As you see. A very quirky movie have to watch it many times to actually get everything
Why must I always assume that everyone watched rocky horror at 3AM in secret at 13 years old. That was just me dude.
Watching the movie online by itself is only half of the full show. Rocky Horror has been playing continuously in theaters (thanks to the theater in Portland running the film once a week for an audience of at least one during the COVID pandemic shutdowns) for over 46 years. The Audience has taken over. We yell things at the movie, we throw things during the movie, we dance in the aisles or seats when they're dancing on the screen. If you've ever seen an episode of MST3K, imagine an ENTIRE THEATER of people talking back to the movie; sometimes they're all in sync, sometimes they sound like (according to Susan Sarrandon after attending a show with her kids) a room full of people with Tourettes Syndrome. And the fun part is that every theater and every region says or does different things sometimes. Or someone introduces something new, such as COVID related lines.
I've watched this movie many many times over 30yrs and participated in interactive cinema screenings countless times.. I think we all noticed Brad is 'packing' 😂😂 more than once.. Your response 😂😂 "Janet, are you sure you know what to do with that?!" 😂😂 One of the things you do as part of the interactive participation experience is every time the name "Brad" is said throughout the movie, the audience shouts ASSHOLE!! and every time "JANET" is said, the audience shouts SLUT!! it's just something I do automatically now.. 🤭😁
Saw this and practically jumped up and down with excitement
K.S.O I knew you would appreciate this and I was looking forward to this reaction! I’ve seen a few reactions where they can’t get over the “weirdness” of it and just enjoy it! Thanks for that! This is a spoof on all the old RKO movies of the 40s/50s, Dr Frankenstein and notice when Franknfurter is zapped, Rocky climbs the tower like King Kong. Magenta and riff raff planned to overthrow Franknfurter as they said he failed their mission and he was a bit of tyrant leader really lol love Tim Curry’s portrayal of Franknfurter and the over the top damsel in distress Susan Surandon is awesome lol The movie has a good message though to always be yourself at the heart of it. I love this movie, seen the live show a couple of times, always good fun 🥰
He was the Butler in the movie Clue
It's a skit on Doctor Frankenstein.... lol making a man 🤣😂😂
Great reaction! I really liked your interpretation of the meaning of the film. It was also a spoof which made it so funny to watch. Thank you.
You missed the ONE BIG throw away line that sets the scene for the whole movie, "Say! didn't we pass a Castle back there" a castle in the American mid West....da da DAA
I think the two people by the chapel door were representative of a famous painting, " American Gothic".
They used to (and probably still do) play this movie at selected theatres on Halloween night with the audience dressed as one of the characters and the audience members would play out the scenes in front of the screen as the movie plays.
Love your reaction. This is the longest running picture show ever. You have to watch it in a theater with audience participation to get the full experience.
Excellent choice for October!
Your reaction is priceless Rocky Horror is one of fav movies
First time i saw it I was 13 and loved from the first scene that was 40 years ago
10:43 When a character in a movie 'looks at us' it's called a Fourth Wall Break. As we know a universe is three dimensional, when a character 'looks at us' they are in there own universe but are interacting with us in our own universe, technically breaking through dimensional barriers.
lol.. i know.. it excites me everytime - since i am not expecting it
Big thank you for this reaction - glad you got to beat the rest to it 💗
The second I saw that you were reacting to this I had to watch. Love your reactions
Those two people standing by the door later show up as Magenta and Riff Raff.
I'm always scared when I see people watching this for the first time. It is one of my guilty pleasures every Halloween. I am so glad you loved Tim Curry he is fantastic. He also played Rooster in the movie Annie as Mrs Hannagan's (Carol Burnet) brother.
omg!!!! Yes I see it now. I watched Annie... omgggg.
LOVE your reaction! I’ve seen this in the theatre about 80 times, and it just goes better every time.
The thing is - you absolutely MUST see it with the audience participation - without, it’s just another B movie. The audience fills in any and every space where there is no dialog; and the theatre is a complete mess because, at specific times, we all throw hotdogs, toilet paper, toast, rice, and other stuff.
THAT is why it’s such a cult classic.
Every Rocky Horror fan..... Here we go!!!!
Loved your reaction and just love your laugh. Thanks for reacting to this classic movie. This was very popular as the midnight movie on Friday and Saturday. I had friends who would sneak out of the house to go to the midnight movie. Some theaters would offer discount ticket prices if you were dressed in your favorite character from the movie. People would get up and do the Time Warp in the aisles of the theater. Great cult classic. 👍👍👍
the two standing by the church door is a take on the Famous painting "American Gothic" 1930 painting by Grant Wood
_"They're just singing in the rain."_
No no, that's a completely different musical you watched a couple of months ago. :D
The first time I ever saw this was on a Friday night midnight showing at a local theater when I was 14! I went with friends who were old enough to drive! We didn’t take any props but there were lots of people who had and others were in costume! The ones in costume would stand up front and act out the movie! Oh and then there was the audience participation! Someone probably already mentioned this but Janet was played by Susan Sarandon! You should try a live stage version!
Tim Curry should have had an Oscar nod-- Brilliance
craziest movie ever, never had I ever seen such a craze. The participation of the audience of the midnight showing (only one available) was truly an experience, so many different types of people showed up to see this movie.. Watching this in this day and age, truly makes me wonder.
Without seeing it live, with a cast and audience lines, its like watching a comedy duo, but only hearing the "straight man" lines.
"He's packing! Oh my god....."😂😂😂
I have been waiting for a very long time for these reaction channels to finally stumble onto this legendary movie. Been to live shows and have played both Magenta and Columbia parts
A few years ago on FOX they aired a remake called "Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again" starring Laverne Cox as Frank N Furter. I thought it was well done, though a lot of purists hated it. Tim Curry appears in it as the Criminologist, always seated and with an assistant, as he had suffered a stroke prior to making the movie, and Meatloaf has a brief cameo during the opening sequence as a projectionist in the movie theatre, while Ivy Levan as the Usherette sings "Science Fiction Double Feature".
Ah man. My mom used to watch this a LOT, like almost daily a lot when I was very little.
I absolutely hated it and would start screaming almost immediately ( I was like.... 2 or 3.....) Yet.... I was obsessed with the Time Warp for a good few years.
I'm just shocked when people haven't seen it. It's also responsible for me almost getting suspended from school one year. For context I was seen as the quiet kid that would never do wrong; one halloween we had a fancy dress non-uniform day with all proceeds going to charity. I was about 12 and after talking with my mom and deciding I didn't want to be Magenta (I had to wear a skirt for school daily and hated it), so I turned up as Columbia.
Other kids didn't get it; All the teachers literally stood around catching flies and I heard the whispers about it being 'inappropriate'..... but I got away with it because it didn't disrupt anyone else lol.
Beginning: in front of the church. The two people by the door: a) they are Richard O'Brian (the producer and writer of the music for the original Rocky Horror Show) and Patricia Quinn, the actress for Magenta, both made up to look like the famous couple from b) the equally famous "American Gothic" oil painting by Grant Wood.
Hi SCENE'crly, K.S.O. this was my first encounter too with Tim Curry, back in the day when that movie released in movie theaters. My parents heard about it and how it rapidly gained a cult following and so one day we went to our local cinema and watched it. I was in my teens and it was a fresh approach to the musical genre in a way that was never done before and the topics, like gay, trans and queer themes were still very new and super progessive in the seventies. Even as a bland straight male myself, I always thought that the cast did a great job in bringing these ways of life and variations of human sexuality to the big screen and therefore to a wider audience and the musical score has became a modern classic on its own. Tim Currys voice is so unique, he did a couple of albums back then besides the soundtrack of the musical, I have three of them, Read my lips (1978), Fearless (1979) and Simplicity (1981) and I stil listen to them occasionally. If you liked his singing I can recommend those wholeheartedly. He barely had any more major movie roles, wich is a crying shame, but he had a bunch of supporting roles and parts in less succesfull films though and I generally liked his acting every time he appeared.
This movie is everything, sweet, shocking, happy, sad, I think any work you can think of applies to this movie at some point, an absolute classic, beloved worldwide and rightly so. You do have to watch Clue, it’s a hilarious farce I think you will love. Don’t dream it, be it!
Love this reaction. You’re so cute! 🥰
Late seventies, undergraduate student at U Washington in Seattle. Friday and Saturday night midnight showings at the Neptune on 45th. Good times. Always fun when you could take a Rocky Horror virgin to their first showing.
