Summary: Out of this world!
Review: A wonderful craetion, a movie to be admired with a massage that is still relevant til this very day. Watch it in a group and follow the orders of "cround participation".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Only the theatre in New York could be better!
Review: I cannot even tell you what I really think. I am so glad my kids will not be "virgins" when they are lucky enough to see this in a theatre, but will that even happen in their lifetime? We have NO PLACE out here to watch it.

I love the options it includes, and especially love the price. Buy only one other thing on Amazon.com and you will not even have to worry about it costing more than a store (this is including shipping and handling).

Go on... do it!

Summary: "Lipps RULE!"
Review: This Cult-Classic mixes elements of "Bride of Frankenstein" with "Forbidden Planet", "The Day The Earth Stood Still" and other classic Horror Flicks. -- The heroes, a newly engaged young couple are stranded with car trouble on a rainy night, looking to use the phone at the "Frankenfurter Mansion". They are in for a turbulant ride! -- There are some great song & dance numbers here, most noteworthy the "Time Warp" and the numbers involving "Eddie" (played by a then unknown Meatloaf). Tim Curry is delicious as the bisexual satyr-like Frankenfurter, who sees his young visitors as fair game for seduction. -- The action is fast paced with one thrill after another. It's quite understandable that some fans have watched this film every Saturday at Midnight for the past 25 years. Get a bag of rice, toast, a squirt-gun, surgical gloves, etc, and have yourself a Rocky Horror Picture Show Party!

Summary: I remember....doing the TIME WARP!
Review: This has been a favorite of high school kids and college kids alike....or so I've been told. I first watched this movie when I was in boarding school and had the shock of my life when my housemaster burst into our TV room. Rather than being reprimanded for watching something a bit risque at a prep school, my housemaster astounded us all by singing along to Toucha Toucha Me!
The extra DVD is full of little quirks, behind the scenes, and video sequences guaranteed to satisfy all of us. It also comes with an audience participation sequence for those of us not willing to go out to the theatres without being properly prepared!
Let's do the Time Warp again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The 2nd greatest musical EVER!
Review: The greatest musical of all time is, in my opinion, Moulin Rouge, but this one seems to give it a bit of a run for its money! I'm one of those strange types who enjoys the movie WITHOUT having to go to an audience participation event, (we don't have many around here) and this movie has some of the greatest musical numbers in any movie! Dammit Janet, The Time Warp, Sweet Transvestite, Hot Patootie, Eddie, and, of course, the solo of those mesmerizing lips in Science Fiction Double Feature are all beautiful!

This DVD truly does the film justice! The lips greet you at the menu, quoting the movie throughout, and a pair of disembodied, fishnet-clad legs dance around while you make your selections. The film is presented in widescreen format only, but you have the option of viewing the film with the traditional mono soundtrack or the remixed dolby 5.1 soundtrack. You also have the option of viewing the US version or the UK version, the only difference being that the UK version contains the Superheroes musical number, which was removed from the US version because it was considered too much of a "downer." There's also a commentary track by Richard O'Brien and Patricia Quinn, an audience participation track, (which is quite funny when you can understand it) a "multi-view theater experience" which allows you to view people performing along with musical numbers at showings of the RHPS, and too many other special features to mention!!!!!!

Buy this DVD if you like the Rocky Horror Picture Show! Don't buy it if you hate the movie or are a homophobe. (in which case, trust me, this movie will creep the hell out of you!)

Pros:
+Great movie
+excellent sound and video quality
+inclusion of UK version
+buttload of extra features

Cons:
-Not for everyone
-Still not quite the same as a real theatrical experience
-If you choose to try and duplicate a real theatrical experience, be prepared to clean up afterwards!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie.
Review: To keep this short I just want to say that this is a great movie.For some it may not make sense,but it's their loss.The music is addictive and Tim Curry gives an exellent performance as the sweet transvestite.I recomend this cult classic because its fun and I promise you won't get tired of it so what are you waiting for?Once you you watch it you'll want to be doing the "Time Warp again!"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The rocky Horror Picture Show
Review: well I'll keep this short, this was one of the best movies I have ever seen and possibly one of my favorites. Tim Curry displays a delightful romp as the sweet Transexual from Transylvania. also one of the best Susan Serandon, plus the fact that richard O'brian Who wrote the script and played Riff Raff.
by my standards one of the best movies ever made.
if you haven't ever seen this movie you should buy it today.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Give yourself over to absolute pleasure
Review: wow. this definitely has to be one of my favorite movies of all time. the simple fact that ive seen it a virtually countless amount of times both live and at home yet it is still a movie that attracts my absolute attention whenever its playing stands out in my mind as great. its hard to believe that this movie is 25 years old and still holds its impact so much more than when it was released. but as for this DVD edition.... ITS ABOUT TIME! i found out when it was to be released and i had my schedule memorized with "buy rocky dvd....... buy rocky dvd..." and all the special features included are great! definitely a keeper! even if you've never experienced the live show this is the 2nd best way to watch this movie! BUY IT!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: music is much better than the movie
Review: The movie is far too weird and over the top. The music is it's real redeeming quality.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Just one flaw
Review: Well here it is again, the glorious Rocky Horror Picture Show with a new edition out after 5 years. It was great as ever. Only one flaw I found, which was mildly irritating, was the audience participation feature. You can go to the main menu and select to have audience participation playing while you view this film. It would have been fine I think if only 5 or so people had done it, but there were so many people yelling things out at once that you could niether hear what they, or the people in the movie, were saying. All the other features were good thou, and I found it to be well worth your money. A great way to view the movie by itself or feel part of the experience.
