Fasten your garter belt and come up to the lab and see what's on the slab! It's The Rocky Horror Picture Show Special Edition, a screamingly funny, sinfully twisted salute to sci-fi, horror, B-movies and rock music, all rolled into one deliciously decadent morsel. And now there's even more to make you shiver with antici...pation: two additional musical numbers, "Once In A While" and "Superheroes", never seen theatrically or available on video! The madcap, musical mayhem begins when rain-soaked Brad and Janet take refuge in the castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a transvestite mad scientist from outer space who is about to unveil his greatest creation - and have a bit of fun with his reluctant guests! Join Tim Curry, Barry Bostwick, Susan Sarandon and rock star Meat Loaf in the most popular cult classic of all time.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Must-See-to-Believe Film, August 14, 2000

By	Nat Hwylc "Peel" (Western Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

I'm sure anyone who has ever heard of Rocky Horror has heard about it's strange cult following. Why, you ask? The Rocky Horror Picture Show is truly one of a kind. I have seen the movie at least twenty times in my lifetime (that's not a lot, compared to true fans), and surprisingly, it has never once bored me. Upon one viewing, I decided that I was too tired to really watch, so I was going to fast forward through parts of it. By the first song, "Science Fiction Double Feature", with those big, red lips up on the screen, I was hooked. The songs are very catchy, with funny lyrics that will stay in your head for weeks to come (a mixed blessing to some). Tim Curry gives his all as Frank-n-Furter, a scientist from another planet who has strange parties in the middle of the night. This part showcases his great voice, and his over-the-top acting. Also recommended for fans of Susan Sarandon. This is one of her earlier works, and you can tell that to this day, she is a little embarassed about it. If for nothing else than a pop culture reference, The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a must-see. Obviously, some people will not like this film, but it's their loss.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best movie ever made., August 19, 2001

By	Jessie (Transexxual, Transylvania) - See all my reviews

This is not a first-time-you-see-it-fall-in-love-with-it movie. This takes about 3 tries.. but WORTH the wait. The first time, you're kind of like, "what the hell was that?" The second time it dawns on you, and the third time's a charm, you'll become hooked! Richard O'Brien has a real talent, You'll be hooked on the songs for sure, It's impossible to get Hot Patootie out of your head, and equally as difficult to rid yourself of "Sweet Transvestite" Not to mention, who can possibly resist Tim Curry, what an amazing performance! This is a real "sensual daydream to treasure forever" BUY IT! :D

5.0 out of 5 stars Feeling groovy? Then this is for you!, May 11, 2003

By A Customer

I first saw The Rocky Horrow show in the theater at the midnight showings with other fans and it was an amazing experience. I was hooked from the start. The music is the first thing that gets you. It is fantastic! The cast is electric, especially Tim Curry as Frank-n-Furter. His singing is superb and his facial expressions are just too funny!

People are not supposed to take this movie seriously. It is simply poking fun at B-movies and old sci-fi flicks mixed with sexual inuendos and gender-bending. I personally think it's a great mixture (and I'm as straight as they come) and guarantees fun for all. I was lucky enough to see The Rocky Horror Show live on stage last night and it was wonderful. The audience participation is second to none. Go and experience it if you can, but buy the film first so you know what to expect and then you must buy the soundtrack and turn the sound up loud! You won't be able to help singing along and dancing. Let your hair down and enjoy it!
