I've been watching this since I was five years old, and I continue to love well into my rebellious (snort. yeah, right) teenage years.
P.S. The fact that my parents would let a five year old boy watch this movie'll probably give the Cheif an embolism.
What's your favorite audience line? Mine is, of course, "Where's your ****ING NECK!"
This is (ahem) an alternative film. But please, let's keep it clean. There hasn't been anything bad so far, let's keep it that way.
Hey, Brian, careful with comments on the Chief. That could mean this page could get the axe as well.
Sorry.
My fave line? A**hole calling!
Frank N. Furter: That elusive...
[Audience - "Who's your favorite Vulcan"
Frank N. Furter: Spock (spark mispronounced)
I love this movie. I'm even in a group that does it.
My favourite audience participation lines can't be repeated here.
Here are some of my favorite audience parti.....(SAY IT!!!!)...pation lines.
Riff Raff: The intruder is entering the building, Master.
Audience (just before Brad recognizes Dr. Scott): What does Captain Kirk say to his chief engineer?
Brad: Hey, Scotty!
Riff Raff: And now Frank N. Furter, your time has come. Say goodbye to all of this...
Audience: Bye, all of this
Riff Raff: And hello...
Audience: Hello
Riff Raff: To oblivion.
Audience: Hi Oblivion, how's the wife and kids?
Riff Raff: You should leave while it is still possible. We are about to beam the entire house back to the planet of Transsexual in the galaxy Transylvania. (threatening whisper). Go. Now.
Audience: Does this mean we don't get to use the phone?
Hey could you e-mail me all the audience lines to the movie I don't know them all.
Frank: Wait! I can explain
Audience: And it better be good!
...
Audience: Hey, Riff, you got a banana on your head!
It's sad I don't even know all the stuff you throw during the movie, or any of the stuff you say, but i just love this movie. Could one of you e-mail me please.
You throw:
Rice (at the wedding)
Water (from a squirt gun during the rain)
Toilet paper (GREAT SCOTT)
Toast (A toast...)
Cards (Cards of sorrow, cards of pain...)
You also hold up a lit lighter or match during "There's a light"
You hold a newspaper over your head during the rain.
Also, I think you can bring a banana to put on your head for the end (Riff's commander hairdo), but I've never done that one...
I *THINK* that's all the audience actions. The lines are too numerous (and different between theatres) to post here.
I think there's a place to throw hot dogs too.
---and don't forget a bell (for the line in "Planet, Schmanet, Janet", when Frankie sings "Did you hear a bell ring?"
When I first started (many MANY *MANY*) years ago, there was an audience line in the title theme
theme: "... Then something went wrong for Fay Wray and King Kong, they got caught in a cinema jam"
Audience : "69!"
Does anyone still do this, and does anyone know why or the origin of this (besides the obvious sexual connotations)?
It was "they got caught in a celluliod(sp?) jam"
Still doesn't explain the audience line...
It should be "they got caught in a" and then the audience says "69"
Think perversely, it'll come to you...
Other variations include "Caught in a Sexual jam"
BTW how is any of this nit-picking?
Finally, Finally
I finally saw this at the theatre. It was so cool.
BTW, I swear that I saw an easter egg under Frank's throne.
Yup. Part of the movie was shot around Easter, and they had an egg hunt I believe. Some weren't found.
Speaking of Easter eggs, does anyone have the DVD? When you're on the main menu page, left click until a pair of yellow show up. Hit enter, you'll see a third version of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
ScottN:When I first started (many MANY *MANY*) years ago, there was an audience line in the title theme
theme: "... Then something went wrong for Fay Wray and King Kong, they got caught in a cinema jam" I do remember the 69 line, but I think it happens somewhere else in the movie. We use to scream "Not in Connecticut, 69 will get you 20. I can't remember where in the movie. In the Fay Wray and King Kong line, we use to say, "THey went ape****! Or something close to that. I hope I don't get into trouble with this. I used symbols, instead of the real words. *shy grin*
The Not in Connecticut line is After Frank Says to Janet While he's in her bed, "It's no Crime Giving yourself up to pleasure."
I know that that is one awkward sounding sentence
Ah yes... when I learned it, it was, of course, "It is in Missouri!"
I was attending college in St. Louis at the time.
I just rewatched this movie and noticed a nit in it. Throughout the film we see Dr. Scott in a wheelchair. Why is he in it? During the song "Wild and Untamed Thing", Everett Scott can be seen moving his legs all around in time to the song. So I assume his legs are neither broken nor is he a paraphlegic. So why is he in the chair?
Some more nits:
During "Dammit, Janet", Brad presents Janet with a ring. She drops her purse on the porch behind her back. The next time you see the purse, in another shot, it's in front of her.
This is a famous one: The movie is said to take place in November. Yet, as Brad and Janet are driving down the road, they are listening to the radio. On it you can hear Nixon giving his resignation speech. He gave that speech in August.
And this nit is now a part of the audience participation - at least on the soundtrack of the DVD: In the lyrics of "Sweet Transvestite", Franknfurter sings to Brad, "He's just a little brought down/'Cos when you knocked..." Brad didn't knock. He rang the doorbell.

I personally don't think it was said why he needed the wheelchair, but I always believed that he was paralyzed, it's that during the scenes where he was moving his legs, he was so 'enlightend' by the Transylvanians and the music and such, he was able to move his legs by some miracle. Look at his face when he moves his legs, he is surprised, even shocked, and it even looked like he couldn't control his legs, or was watching them move without thought.
It was later, during "Wild and Untamed thing", that now he was aware to move his his now feeling legs, to enjoy participating with the song. Just my thought on this.
Let's do the Time Warp agaaaaaaaaaainnn!
Some more nits:
Watch carefully during the "Time Warp" sequence. The red carpet keeps disappearing and reappearing in various shots.
During "Hot Patootie", when Eddie is riding his motorcycle around in the lab, there are a couple of close-up shots of his face. These shots were clearly flipped as the scar on Eddie's forehead is on the right side of his head. In all other shots, the scar is over his left eye.
Magenta: "I'm lucky. He's lucky." Audience: "The banister's lucky!"
Come to think of it, if Dr. Scott's confined to a wheelchair, how did he get to Frank-n-Furter's castle in the first place?
Is it just me, or does there seem to be some bad editing in this film? Just as "Sword of Damocles" is about to begin, there seems to be a jump in the film. I'm thinking mostly about when we see Riff starting turning the crank that raises Rocky. It has the feel that something's been cut. Then just before "Eddie", the sound seems to end abruptly, before the song begin.
Dr. Scott: "What's his crime?" Audience: "Male fraud!"
The Rocky Horror Picture Show in 30 seconds, as re-enacted by bunnies. No audience participation, though.
Audience: Describe Ross Perot's favorite hang-out."
Brad: "...some hunting lodge for rich weirdos."
That's an audience line I hadn't heard before... Of course, I learned the audience lines back in 1980 or so...
On Sunday, 10/31/10, the Fox Movie Channel will present The Rocky Horror Picture Show for 24 hours straight, starting at 6 a.m. Uncut and commercial free. More here.
