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)

The Rocky Horror Picture Show mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Eddie escapes the deep freeze, he wears three rings on his left hand: his middle, ring and pinkie fingers. Bizarrely, the pinkie ring actually disappears in quite a few shots, including when Eddie plays the sax and when he lifts Columbia, just before they mess around on the floor. (00:42:30)

More quotes from The Rocky Horror Picture Show

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.

Question: One of my co-workers said the first line in the show was, "Michael Renee was sick the day the Earth stood still". Could you give me the exact first line and what it means?

Answer: The first line to the lyrics of 'Science Fiction/Double Feature' is "Michael Rennie was ill The Day the Earth Stood Still, but he told us where we stand." That line is a reference to the 1951 film classic 'The Day the Earth Stood Still', which stars Michael Rennie as Klaatu, the alien from outer-space, who is shot at the start of the film when he tries to convey a dire message of goodwill to the humans. The rest of the song lyrics refer to other science fiction films including 'The Invisible Man' starring Claude Rains, 'King Kong' starring Fay Wray, and 'Tarantula' starring Leo G. Carroll.
