Little Shop of Horrors (film)/Awesome
- Yes, he (it?) was the villain of the movie, but c'mon, admit it...Audrey II's final number ("Mean Green Mother From Outer Space) in the 1986 musical version of Little Shop of Horrors was easily the greatest friggin' part of the entire movie. So great, the song was nominated for an Oscar. If you don't believe me, watch for yourself.
- But the coup de grace of the whole thing occurs in the original sequence, when Audrey II eats Seymour at the climax of the song, complete with Crowning Music of Awesome.
- The film's Focus Group Ending has Seymour vowing to finish what he started:
Seymour: Wait for me, Audrey--this is between me and the vegetable. |
- Technically, he did the same in the original ending - it's just that he failed. The fact that he decided to do it is still awesome.
- It's arguably even better in the original ending--he spends the whole show being a pushover, but then he decides enough is enough and goes down fighting!
