The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Audio problem: During "I Can Make You A Man," when Frank slides his finger down Rocky's chest while saying "ste-he-he-he-heam," you can hear a solitary beep from out of nowhere, from when the synthesizer was hit accidentally during that part of the song and was never edited out (it is on the CD too). (00:40:32)

Audio problem: During the first song sung by Rocky as he is getting his bandages removed when Rocky sings "Oh no no no" his mouth doesn't move. (00:37:30)

DJKostya

Audio problem: During 'Hot Patootie', just before Eddie plays the sax, he can be heard singing, "Bless my soul," but his mouth is not in sync. (00:42:55)

Super Grover

Audio problem: When Dr. Scott meets Dr. Frank-N-Furter for the first time, Dr. Scott's spoken line is "We meet at last", but his lips don't correctly move with the words.

Audio problem: During the dinner scene, just before Dr. Scott says, "We came here to discuss Eddie," we can hear a banging sound and see his wheelchair move back a little bit. (01:05:50)

Audio problem: As Frank-N-Furter exits the elevator and starts singing 'Sweet Transvestite', Janet faints but keeps screaming even after she has passed out. (00:24:25)

Factual error: The criminologist describes the events of the movie as taking place "on a late November evening". In the very next scene, Brad and Janet are driving in Brad's car, and President Richard Nixon's resignation speech is playing on the radio. Nixon resigned in August of 1974. (00:12:00)

Suggested correction: It is said by the writer of the movie that Brad taped the Nixon speech so he could listen to it later in his car, the movie does take place in late November.

Trivia: At one point on set, the cast had an off-camera Easter egg hunt. Some were never found - you can see at least three of the eggs in the film: one under Frank-N-Furter's throne, one in the main hall in place of the light, and another when they are going up to the lair in the elevator.

Chosen answer: She kicks him in the groin when he has her cornered on the stairway.

Answer: I was told that Tim Curry AKA Frank N Furter was also accidentally kicked in the groin in the pool shot. You can see the look on his face. But it's not clear if Susan Sarandon did it or the actor playing Rocky did it.

Answer: It happens on the stairwell during the song, "You Better Wise Up, Janet Weiss".
