Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975/2016): Side-by-Side Comparison
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- A side-by-side, shot-for-shot comparison between the two motion picture adaptations of the Rocky Horror Picture Show stage production by Richard O'Brien. This video is intended to show the different choices made by two groups of filmmakers adapting the same source.
I had no idea this remake existed and I could’ve lived peacefully the rest of my life without knowing its existence
thats literally me, all in the remake is horrible, the aesthetic of brand and janet, the fact that dc frank-N-furter is a woman, when he literally sings that he is a sweet transvestite, and the worst of all, every single actor and actress look like a fcking model, when the original film was ment to weirdos, to people that society has rejected for not being enough slim, beautiful or people that just are a little different. the literally lose the point of the film..
I know right, like I didn’t even know a thought of a remake was even a thing till I saw this video.
I watched the remake first last year then i watched the original and the remake this year and i said the remake is definitely worst
If only the other remakes I've seen were non existent to know about as well
I watched, so you don't have to, and yes, is awful
the whole reason why 1975 one is amazing is the aesthetic, the remake completly doesnt get this
I agree in last scene on castle debuilding, Janet and Brand had a perfect make up and clean face... WTF!! The sourvive from dust and rocks!!
Why didn't they keep the pink background?
*Never* copy other people when you cant understand WHY they did the things they did.
I heard a quote like this somewhere:
"A lot of directors have noticed that good directors tilt the camera, but have not figured out why."
Rocky Horror is one of those things that there’s no point in remaking. There’s something special about it that can never be duplicated.
Even if you were able to magically bring back the original cast in their prime to remake it it still wouldn’t be as good.
Unless we could somehow turn 2021 back into 1975 then no, we couldn’t 😂😂
Well remakes can be good but theyre never ever ever done right. Someone always feels the need to make 1000 changes... a literal step by step scene by scene remake wouldn't have been bad

The remake didn't need to be made
Agreed
it’s actually was made because it was the anniversary from what I remember some of the promotion material said
Dj Harrismo, agreed
Most things don’t need a remake but you know original ideas are hard to come by.
it doesn't compare to the original but the cast for this one was great
The thing about the original, it was so raw and rough looking, the sets looked like something out of a crazy, drug, and sex fueled party. Both the sets and Laverne Cox are far too polished up in my opinion. That’s why Tim Curry was so great as frank, he didn’t have perfectly done makeup, and he really put the energy into it not worrying about if he busted ass.
It also helped that Curry had played the role for years before being in the film version.
Cox just doesn't have that CURRY flair.
The whole point of Rocky Horror is that it’s literally insane. It’s exactly what you’d expect to be made if all your ideas came out a random generator. Putting a beautiful woman with perfect makeup in a fashionable outfit is literally the opposite of what should have been done. Turning a pink science lab into a literal nightclub is not how this should have been done. It looses all its weird and wonderful by making it fashionable. There’s nothing interesting or unique or disturbing about a woman in a red corset, a beautiful young woman in a bra and rainbow hair. It’s like they cast a trans woman and went: job done appealing to the outcasts like the original did, let’s make it pretty. No
same, this looks like something out of Disney, it's too clean and polish, i feel like they didn't care abt the craft, they just want diversity
Spot on, this remake did exactly what the original did except it was terrible and coat it like a runway show
Also, isn’t that kinda insulting to trans women then? They cast a trans woman as a self-proclaimed transvestite and crossdresser who’s still male, just a bit... eccentric.
@@kaseye4053 100%. Like the terms used in the song are out of date. But to compare a trans woman to a male cross-dresser and think it’s appropriate to cast a trans woman as a male cross-dresser is like seriously questionable behaviour. It definitely takes trans rights back a couple decades at least
Well. Us Old foe-gees. See things far different than young people. And the next generation and so on
I'm sorry but Frank's green dress with the red triangle patch was ICONIC. Sad they shelved it.
yes exactly the reason franks green dress was so iconic was because it resembled the uniform gay men were forced to wear in concentration camps during the holocaust and the ditched it
@@claralarkin6680 omg I didn’t know that! Yeh they totally should have kept it!
Frank's 'dress' was an OR scrub gown that is worn exclusively for surgery. The triangle was tipped that way to be the opposite of how gay men were identified and condemned during the Holocaust . The triangle was tipped upward in the play a as a sign of rebellion and gay pride. They should NEVER have strayed away from this statement as l think it takes away a great deal of the statement of the plot... total acceptance... oh and Tim yelling 'hoopla' when Rocky is unveiled is just precious...
It's a lab coat
@@KidaMilo89 Frank is wearing an OR scrub gown. They are predominately green (some more modern ones are blue now) and tie in the back as Frank's does. Brad and Janet are given lab coats which are white and button in the front.
You know the funny thing is Richard O'Brian didn't want anything to do with the remake cause I think he knew it was going to be bad so there you go.
hmm tim curry like it tho
Watching this I can see that he made a smart decision
it is a bit wierd that Tim did it. That was the only reason people even gave it a chance. It was just a bad idea.
@@kittykat5980 eh time curry still said it sucked I guess
It looks like they put alot of work and effort into making the remake, but in the end it is an inferior product. The new version looks more realistic and cinematic, but fails to make me feel the emotional highs and lows that the original movie made me feel. Its the only one that I will watch repeatedly.
Fun fact: FOX wanted to give them a larger budget, but wanted to put big names in all the roles, but O-Brien and the director refused for artistic integrity and kept the 1 million dollar budget they had, in order to keep the original cast they wanted.
Bruh what feelings are you talking about? I kept on laughing through the entire movie then simping on hot characters lol
inferior indeed but i would not call it a product as i produce a much more better product than this tripe emerging from ones behind everytime i take a dump !!
realistic? are u sure? it look like something out of a school play to me
The remake gets a million no's from me, the updated look is expected from a remake, but changing Frank-N-Furter's gender nullifies everything that made him shocking and hilarious back in the 70's.
Technically they didn't. Both still played by guys. Cross dresser VS Transgender.
@@christiawi9 the actress in the remake is a woman.
@@nyctoby she's s woman now
the whole sweet transvestite song in the remake doesn’t make sense now cause transvestite means a gender wearing like a gender opposite clothes like a man in a girls bikini or a girl in a mans clothes
@@christiawi9 no. Laverne Cox is a transwoman, Frank N Furter is a crossdresser. These are not the same thing.
Dear god. The remake looks like a really bad cosplay...
(Also, what the hell is on Riffraffs head? You could have at least have had some respect for O'brian)
obsessed with how they managed a rocky horror remake the literal opposite of camp
It's almost art, must have taken a lot of effort
@@SpeederzzzOr a lack of. It’s almost like they *tried* to make it as shiny and mainstream alt as possible
The remake has definite light sources like it's a proper stage play (specially during the Time Warp song). The 1975 original looks it was filmed with ambient light, which looks better in my opinion. I haven't yet heard the new version though, but I think I'll still prefer the original. You just can't beat Tim Curry in drag.
2016 was a cute tribute, i imagine it was fun to work on and all, but nothing can ever compare to the original.
dude ... i would not even class it as a tribute .. more of a ridiculous pisstake !!
For the remake they just put a woman in a dress, instead of a man wearing lingerie
Don't get wrong victoria justice was great in gold and I try to do that in gotcha life form
They put a transgender woman
@Geek Corps Laverne Cox is a woman.
@Geek Corps no ones asking about what SHE is biologically fuckin karen
Ok put it like this: a man in lingerie is a transvestite; a woman, trans or not, in lingerie is just a woman in lingerie.
Therefore, she has no right to sing sweet transvestite.
I think we were happy to watch the 2016 Frank die, but we all cried when 1975 Frank died...Admit it.
U hella right.
@Angie Gomez me too.
yes yes yassssss
Well ye because the 1975 one actually captured the emotion that the 2016 one just completely lacked
Yup
My parents love the rocky horror picture show, they went to party themed one once and my dad dressed up as frank n ferter. My mum has passed away now and at her funeral the song we chose to leave to was time warp, as it was a song she loved and it rounded her up as an individual perfectly. Rest in peace mum miss you, hopefully we will time warp again xx
Compering the two movies is like compering a homemade dinner and frozen food, one isn't as pretty but it feels more real and down to earth while the other is higher quality but feels cheeper and quite souless
The new one just doesn’t look as disturbing if you know what I mean, but this movie is meant to be disturbing, I think Tim curry played a big part in the 1975 one being amazing and without tim it just wasn’t the same (the new one didn’t look that good anyway)
tim was literally in the new one???
@@charlieorr2875 I mean without Tim as Frankenfurter
@@Da1sygirl27 i get that, then. i don’t like cox’s frank as much as tim’s but that’s mostly because i’m in love with him. I love the new one but i understand that some people don’t- however, people need to realize sometimes stuff changes, and comparing it directly to the original defeats the point. it was a remake, but it was TRYING to do its own thing.
@@charlieorr2875 I get that, I just prefer the og:)
I agree. There’s a huge difference between putting a man that looks like a man in a corset and fishnets and then putting a beautiful woman in amazing shape in red lingerie.
Only redeeming quality was they actually got Tim Curry to play a role but that's the only credit I will give it
and even he said he was embarrassed for taking part ....
Can't for the life of me see the point of remaking movies that are very much classics of their own time, it just doesn't work for me.
Thanks for doing this tho.
Oh, and: Tim Curry forever!
Talking about remakes that should have never be done.
The 2016s version is a huge NO.
The original rocky (Peter Hinwood) was hotter
No way staz was hot as the monster (a hot one)
Staz was deffo too unattractive
I thought Cox was okay as Frank N Furter. Like if the original didn’t exist (what a terrible world that would be) and this movie were to come out everyone would praise her as the best part. I loved seeing Tim Curry but I felt everything else about this remake was absolutely garbage. Another terrible remake. Why couldn’t they just keep the original as be and have Cox be in a different film with similar themes? Honestly.
To sum up my points:
Movie Bad
Cox pretty good
Tim Curry yay
Original is masterpiece
i like Laverne but her version literally have zero charisma to me, it's too polish and clean
i think they really missed the mark with laverne cox. i mean don’t get me wrong she’s an amazing actress and i understand what they were trying to do but it’s really just watching a women in a dress. it doesn’t have the same effect that tim curry in lingerie had. and i just think that was one of the main flaws(among plenty others)
I have a theory: The remake was only made because someone got curious how much character they could take out of the original and still have it look vaguely like Rock Horror.
I haven't watched the remake, but one thing that caught my attention was: why did they make Brad and Janet so sexy? Janet with white push up bra and white high heels? She's supposed to be dowdy! They are supposed to be prudes, not sexy people like they look in the remake even before their conversion. But yeah, remakes are often made to make everything fit with a new audience-pleasing videoclip aesthetic. In fact, if the remake had a different twist in the way of portraying the events, contributing with a new perspective, it might have had sense, but no, it's just the same in HD and MTV fashion.
One big thing about the 1975 version is that it shocked the world. Ppl weren't used to films like that! So seeing it getting remade has literally ruined it.
I love how Tim curry is the priest that married their friends.
I can understand why Laverne Cox was chosen (and she was very good), but Adam Lambert was MADE to be Frank n Furter. He has the same electrifying, smirking semi-dangerous quality that Tim Curry had.
I feel dumber for knowing the remake exists now...
1975 forever ...and ever
i can't believe they even TRIED to do a remake of this movie
theres reason why none knew 2016's remake didnt exist and now we see why
Dont hate one me but ive seen both and i actually enjoyed the remake as well. There is no denying the fact that the original was better, but I did like some aspects of the new one. I didn't like some parts of the remake of course and I think they couldve done without but all in all they are both good to me.
And guys of course the remake isn't going to capture the whole essence of the 1975 one. You have to remember this is a modernized verison of a classic, and if you looked at it from the perspective of maybe someone who hadn't heard of Rocky Horror then maybe they could enjoy the remake more
Thank you because I watched it constantly back in 2016 and I love it.
THIS! Well said.
dont agree .. this was how should i say ... totally crap and inferior to the original
Don't agree at all but it's nice to see some other opinions tho
Never. Remake. A Tim Curry film. Especially his best one - Rocky Horror.
I feel like the older one feels more voyeuristic. The way characters stare at the camera, or that scene when you're going up into Frank's lab. feels like IM in the elevator with the couple. The new one feels too...movie-ish? Distant
Nothing beats the original
In my opinion, the 1975 version had its own unique charm, the 2016 version lost that same charm
a certain naive charm.... but no.....hustle :-D
@@Drobium77 muscle *
for some reason the old quality makes films more amazing
I'm not a hater of this BUT I really think that it just turned something iconic and great as RHPS into something mundane, normal. The Rocky Horror Picture Show it's everything but normal

Makes a lot of sense, the rat gets his money hungry hands on everything.
@@hello.im.auggie was a joke
Why, for heavens sake? WHY ??? An absolutely needless remake!
As a fan of both movies and having been to 3 live plays of Rocky Horror in my lifetime I think theey did a fantastic job with this side by side comparison.
The biggest problem with the remake from what I see visually is it’s too glamorous when the original was balancing beautifully between trashy and glamorous because it’s a horror show the remake is to glitzy Also putting a women as frank ruins sweet transvestite and Frank’s opening line in rose tint my world
I feel like if they had done it in the live musical format instead of copying the film at every turn, the newer version would've faired much better. The stage version is slightly different than the movie but keeps the same vibe to it. Unfortunately here they went for such a polished look it didn't feel the same as the atmosphere present in both the movie and musical. If they had focused less on making a remake and more on making a different take on the story while still maintaining the atmosphere, it would've probably faired better than it did
I was not sure if it is a good idea to do a remake of this.
No I know: it wasn't!
I really don't like the music you put along with the images but I imagine you didn't want to risk having the video taken down for copyright strikes. Giving it a half hearted thumbs up because it does make showing the difference between the two easy.
MacroLass I originally made it with music from the film but it was blocked just about everywhere.
Bummer.
@@MattSkuta What is the 2nd song used? It has a Halloween sound to it.
@@TheCheshireMadcat the background music is from the 1984 return of the living dead movie
I really hated how auto tuned victorious voice was. Janet was way more raw and theatrical. Janets wasn’t afraid to be ridiculous and humours while Victorious tried to look like a barbie in each shot.
The remake looks like an overproduced and over-polished music video, while the original just feels like a MOVIE that I can sit down and watch. More bizarre => more raw and unforgiving => more nostalgic => more awesome
the virgin laverne cox vs the chad tim curry
Some things are just meant to be left alone .
i hate the way the 2016 one was shot in a high school lmao, the time warp literally looked like it was filmed in a gym
The remake almost made me want to stop watching either of the movies but then i watched the original again and it cleared my head.
The remake is a disgrace lol but atleast tim curry was in it.
the remake is objectively bad but honestly i wouldn’t mind seeing most of this cast do like a live production bc you can tell theyre really into these characters
Never knew there waa another one.
I only know the original 1975 version.
ya not missin anything .. !! honestly ive seen my full of bad movies but never seen such tripe as this ... its literally taking the absolute piss out of a classic cult movie..
What was the mission?
STOP RUINING EVERY CLASSIC MOVIE WITH REMAKES 😡
I don't have a problem with movies based on stage shows being remade. Stage shows get redone ALL the time. So to me, this new movie version isn't any different than a new stage show doing their take. I think where the new movie fails is that it tried too much to be like the original film instead of finding it's own voice. There are ways to pay homage to something, without copying it shot for shot.
Agreed! The only good remake I've ever seen was Peter jacksons king kong remake.
The problem is the new one is too clean, which doesn't work with Rocky. I get they were trying to make it more like an homage to the original but... just don't bother. Heck, the only change I even slightly agree with is the casting of Laverne, since Frank was basically designed to answer the question "What would scare a suburban housewife?" and a man in fishnets no longer does that, but a transwoman does and at least it shows they tried something new, even if it failed abysmally.
Absolutely no comparison. Tim has it
I'm so sad because no one can do Dr Frank and Further than the legendary Tim Curry.
What was the point of remaking it?!?! And the point of Frank is he is a transvestite, but like everything he does, half arsed, they missed the point with the latter Frank
I think the 1975 version is better than the new version
This classic did not need a fucking remake !
👏why👏was👏riff👏raff👏not👏wearing👏lingerie👏at👏the👏ending👏scene👏
DAMN, not even a little tiny thing is better than the original movie.
what they did columbia is just no >:(
Proof that actually hiring a trans person to do a trans role doesn’t automatically make a movie good.
(There were other aspects to the 2016 version that made it terrible but we cannot deny that Tim Curry was and always will be the best Frank N Furter.)
En definitiva la versión original
THIS SIDE BY SIDE COME BACK AHHHHHH YAYAAAYAYAYAYAAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA
Ok say what you want about anything, but one of the WORST things about the remake was Columbia. Not hate to the actress but i absolutely hated her performance as Columbia. It was lifeless and snarky. Not like Columbia at all.
(And the best part was Adam Lambert as Eddie. I absolutely LOVED his hot patootie)
The remake seemed rushed among other problems. Only good part about it is that Tim Curry was in it and the diversity
How can you do a remake to the magic that is rocky?
I guess was unnecessary a transgender to interpret Dr Frank, a good actor must be better appreciation.
"a transgender"... girl- okay
however i still agree that laverne wasn't good as frank since she's a woman... so it wouldn't make sense for her to sing "sweet transvestite"
@@mariaandreinagarcia6177 yeah, you're right, the whole song just feels... Transphobic now
I like 1975... They are incredible)))
There was no need to remake Rocky horror picture show, it's a classic and had no reason to remade. The only redeeming thing about the remake is the fact that Tim Curry's in it
No one can beat Tim Curry with his performance of Frank no one will ever be as good as him lol.
There is something magical about the original, especially Tim Curry himself, but I will say the remake had overall better singers
I tried to watch the remake and it gives off none of the same energy,the reveal of frank n furter freaking iconic,eddy's demise unexpected,how rocky moved was barely a thing not the whole character,it's like they took away the very essence of it all
Wow, thanks for those songs! I really enjoy the comparison with that mini soundtrack 👌
And your edition is great too! BTW I'll watch the 2016 version to make my self opinion
What the name of song at 4:02
Never understood why people need to remake everything. Original is good on it's own, there is no reason to make exact same movie but worse. 😒😒😒
The original will always be the best.
Another remake? WTF?
why tf yall so pressed in the comments like i get u like the original better but its rly not that serious and makes no sense to bring down someone else’s production just to put the original on a pedistal
Because we love the original... have loved for decades. Some of us even do the midnight screenings now and again... i did a decent Rocky but am approaching Professor these days..l
There are aspects of the production that reek of cashing in on the revival show and anniversary rather than shared love of original.
And in an era of half-hearted remakes and joyless reboots, we did not need this one.
Y was it even a thing to remake it just no the original is still so amazing and Tim curry was so fantastic u can’t beat him
Damn victoria justice really gets into wacky situations huh

I know this might sound weird, but are they wearing so much cloth in the second version lol
I love them both. Only because tim curry is in both. Yes the original will never be replaced but this is definitely a great celibration of it. If we dont make remakes then the memory of the original will fade and new generations will live never even knowing about rocky horrer in the first place. No one showed me. I stumbled across a weird lip movie and watched it without my parents knowing.
I feel like I’m the only one who likes the 2016 one. I love the
Movie/musical so much that
I like all version of it. That’s how happy it makes me
I like it too! It has its flaws, but it's not that bad. I love Laverne Cox and Tim Curry!
Laverne, I love you, girl, but that remake was as necessary as a fishnet condom...
If the songs were only sung the right way and the characters looked a bit closer to the OG it would be much better. I do like the original outfits but I suppose I get the upgraded costumes changes.
2:14 name song? please
4:12 excusemewhat
They
They threw him out of the window?
Instead of the original violent way that showed the worst of Frank's persona ?
This remake takes SO much away
The fact that Frank is a woman in the remake is just stupid too, the fact that they threw away the pink rectangle is incredibly dumb
And the way Frank dies in the original... He panicks, he legitimately tries to flee, he is scared. In the remake ? Nope. It's nothing compared to Curry's performance...
Oh, and I forgot. They casted a woman, a *trans* woman, to sing a song about how she's a sweet _transvestite_ .
1975 is better
Both were good
yeah. I love them!
I haven't seen the remake since the night it aired. I forgot just how much I don't give a shit about it.
