Little Shop of Horrors (film)/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[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.

* [[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.

 

** Well, everyone becomes this at some point during the outtakes. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUnh62onITY See for yourself].

* [[Mood Whiplash]]: When you see the original ending, it can be hard for some to believe they were going to brand this movie as a comedy- The ending seems so much darker than the rest of the film that it's almost ridiculous. After Audrey dies in his arms, a distraught and pessimistic Seymour dashes out of the shop and is about to ''commit suicide off of the roof of Audrey's apartment complex'' when Patrick Martin finds him and tells him about taking cuttings from Audrey II. Poor Seymour then confronts the plant, but is instead trapped inside the shop as he tries to get away, helplessly tries to stop the plant with various non-working weapons, and [[Black Comedy|has his goddamn pants pulled down before getting slowly and gruesomely swallowed whole by the plant all to the tune of an upbeat villain song]]. The movie then ends on a not-so-happy note with various shots of humongous Audrey II plants attacking the earth.

* [[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 (Disney)|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

** Particularly funny in that the lips on Audrey II were actually modeled off of those of ELLEN GREENE-a white woman, actually the one playing Audrey I.

* [[Visual Effects of Awesome]]: The Audrey II puppet is possibly one of the most complex animatronics of its kind, and still holds up to this day. Frank Oz wanted to direct this film ''for a reason!''

** If your child is afraid of the dentist, you may want to skip that part.

** The scene where Seymour chops up Orin and feeds him to the plant, which laughs with its mouth full of Orin...
