Line 1:
{{work}}
=== [[Little Shop of Horrors]] ===
 
* [[Complete Monster]]: Audrey II, all the [[Black Comedy|humor]] and [[Evil Is Cool|coolness]] of the character notwithstanding.
** Orin also counts.
* [[Downer Ending]]
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: To much of the fandom, Audrey II.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Audrey II eating Audrey. Some blame for it rests on Seymour as well.
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: {{spoiler|Audrey. Her dying words make humanity's salvation impossible.}}
* [[X Meets Y]]: Little Shop is best summed up as Edgar Allen Poe meets a Disney musical. Which makes sense, considering Alan Menken and Howard Ashman did the score.
 
 
==== The movie ====
 
* [[Adaptation Displacement]]: Fans of this movie are not aware of the Roger Corman movie it was based on, and are disappointed when they rent or download the original, and find out which one they're watching. To an arguably lesser extent, it has displaced the stage musical.
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Seymour Krelbourn. Is his letting Orin suffocate from laughing gas revenge, or is it due to him being in shock? Is him letting Mushnik being eaten by the plant because Seymour forced him to walk into the plant, or was Mushnik's backing up into the plant's mouth an action on his own accord?
Line 28 ⟶ 15:
* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: Bill Murray as the masochistic patient.
* [[Retroactive Recognition]]: Two members of the film's [[Greek Chorus]] went on to play the main female characters on ''[[Martin]]''. Then one went on to play Damon Wayans' wife on ''[[My Wife and Kids]]'', and the other went on to play young Chris Rock's mom on ''[[Everybody Hates Chris]]''. Also, one of them was in ''[[Zack and Miri Make a Porno]]'' as Delaney's [[Jerkass]] wife.
** The Muses from ''[[Hercules (1997 film)||Hercules]]'' (the Disney version, for which Alan Menken also did the music) are remarkably similar to the chorus from this movie.
* [[Tastes Like Diabetes]]: The ending.
** Some may get this feeling whenever Audrey opens her mouth due the extremely high pitch of her voice
