Little Shop of Horrors (film)/Trivia


 * Adaptation Sequence: Movie —> Stage musical —> Movie of musical —> (Extremely) short-lived Saturday morning cartoon show.
 * Executive Meddling: The original ending was faithful to the stage musical, with the classic Greek Tragedy arc: Seymour kills his enemy, kills his father-figure, kills his love, then kills himself, and then gigantic Audrey II's go on a Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever rampage and take over the world. After preview audiences lambasted this ending for being "too disturbing", Howard Ashman wrote a happier one.
 * Hey, It's That Guy!: Christopher Guest, Bill Murray, John Candy, and Jim Belushi, who replaced Paul Dooley when the film was re-cut.
 * The Other Darrin: One member of the Greek Chorus wasn't available to shoot the studio-mandated happy ending, so the camera pans down before the third girl's face is seen.
 * Recursive Adaptation: The film of the stage musical of the film.
