You do all know it was a spoof of science fiction B movies, right? In the opening theme (the lips) they make reference to :

 

The Day the Earth Stood Still

Flash Gordon

The Invisible ManKing Kong

It Came from Outer Space

Doctor X

Forbidden Planet

Tarantula

The Day of the Triffids

Night of the Demon

When Worlds Collide

 

I like this movie for about the first 30-45 minutes, and then it is very poor!

You really had to see it in a theater, with lip synching fans, slices of toast in the air, 'rain' inside, and all the key "prompts" for audience response.

 

Brad - "***hole"

 

What is really amazing is all the actors / singers who continued on with career:

 

Tim Curry

Susan Sarandon

Barry Bostwick

Meatloaf

I agree with this comment. Overall I think Rocky Horror is mildly amusing, but the 2nd half of the movie becomes tired.

 

I dated a woman who adored this movie. I took her to a midnight showing and she came dressed as "Columbia". Her costume was remarkable, she got a lot of comments on it, even from the actors in the theatre.

 

I love the "Science-Fiction/Double Feature" song the most, because of all the movies that are referenced in it.

 

And as a big fan of "Dark City", I love the fact that Richard O'Brien is in it.
