Easter egg: On Disc 1, on the Main Menu click on Special Features, select Scene Selection but do not click on it. Press left and a pair of lips will light up. This leads to the movie being black and white until the Time Warp song, which was how the film was originally going to be shown.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
1 easter egg
Directed by: Jim Sharman
Starring: Susan Sarandon, Tim Curry, Barry Bostwick, Charles Gray, Meat Loaf, Richard O'Brien, Christopher Biggins
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)
Trivia: The actor who plays Riff Raff (Richard O'Brien) wrote the original 'Rocky Horror' stage play. He also wrote the movie's sequel.
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.
