Line 7:
* [[Creator Backlash]]:
** Susan Sarandon refuses to talk about the movie, but not for the usual reasons. It's because she hates the fact that ''none'' of the cast members get royalties from the DVD sales.
** [[Tim Curry]] was ''very'' reluctant to talk about the film for years and even told [[VH-1]] that he grew "chubby and plain" in order to try and escape the role. These days, he's more open to talk about the film and even sees it as a "Rite of passage" for teenagers. He was even happy to play the Criminologist in the 2016 Fox TV production, despite still recovering from a stroke at the time.
** Peter Hinwood (Rocky) is only slightly embarrassed by being in the film. Contrary to popular rumor, he's ''never'' thrown anyone out of his shop for talking about the film. He only sees the film as a "part of the past" and rarely talks about it.
* [[Cut Song]]:
Line 33:
** Mags or sometimes also 'Mag' (pronounced Majj) for Magenta.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [[Diamonds Are Forever|Ernst Stavro Blofeld]] is The Criminologist.
** In one of the stage play versions, [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Giles]] (Anthony Head) played Frank N. Furter. The still shots and the track of Anthony singing Sweet Transvestite are widely viewable online. And made this troper really want to work it into a Giles flashback fic, since it would totally disturb the Scoobies.
** Eddie is [[Meat Loaf]]!
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: In the 2010 Blu-Ray dub released in Japan...
** [[Masashi Ebara]] is Doctor Frank
** [[Kazuhiko Inoue]] is Brad/Asshole.
** [[Gara Takashima]] is Janet/Slut.
Line 49:
** The lips singing "Science Fiction/Double Feature" are Patricia Quinn's (who played the usherette who sang it in the stage show), but they're lip-syncing to Richard O'Brian's vocals.
** Trevor White dubbed Peter Hinwood when it was discovered that Hinwood was completely incapable of singing.
* [[Retroactive Recognition]]: In a way, this is ''Retroactive Recognition: The Movie'', given how many of the cast went on to bigger and better things in the following years: [[Meat Loaf]], Barry Bostwick, Susan Sarandon, [[Tim Curry]], even Nell Campbell...
** Betty Munroe (Mrs. Ralph Hapshatt!<ref>Hap''shit''!</ref>) was played by an actress named Hilary Labow -- who is better known today as Hilary Farr, co-host of the [[HGTV]] series ''[[Love It or List It]]''.
* [[Romance on the Set]]:
** At the time, Richard O'Brien was married to Kimi Wong who played one of the
** In 2013, O'Brien revealed that Susan Sarandon and Barry
* [[Technology Marches On]]: The only thing that sets the remake in modern day is the fact that Dr. Scott's wheelchair is motorized.
* [[Throw It In|Throw It In!]]: How the [[Audience Participation]] got started: one viewer during a screening shouted "Buy an umbrella, you cheap bitch!" during "There's a Light (Over at the Frankenstein Place)" when Janet covers herself with a newspaper in the rain, and it just grew from there.
Line 69 ⟶ 71:
** Patricia Quinn almost backed out of the film when she learned that she wouldn't be singing "Science Fiction/Double Feature", but changed her mind when she saw the sets and costume sketches. She eventually compromised by playing the disembodied lips in the opening, lip-syncing to Richard O'Brian's vocals.
** [[Alec Guinness]] was offered an unspecified part, presumably the Criminologist, but declined.
* [[Why Fandom Can't Have Nice Things]]: While nothing too serious has ever happened at a screening, throwing things at the
* [[The Wiki Rule]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20200610150544/https://rockyhorror.fandom.com/wiki/Rocky_Horror_Community The Rocky Horror Community]
* [[Word of God]]:
** According to Richard O'Brien, it was actually Riff Raff who did most of the work on Rocky. Riff's line "Everything is in readiness, master. We merely await your... word". is pretty clearly a stab at Dr. Furter.
Line 76 ⟶ 79:
* [[Working Title]]: Planned titles for the play were ''They Came From Denton High'' and ''The Rock Hor-Roar Show''.
* [[Written by Cast Member]]: Was written by Richard O'Brien who played Riff Raff.
