Summary: Watch-a Watch-a Watch Me!
Review: Incredibly funny, brilliantly ironic piece of film history, and the disc is great from top to bottom. Okay, almost. The disc includes the film's original mono sound track which is almost preferable to the sometimes odd sounding 5.1 mix, but the near master quality of the image and extras make up for it easily. The disc includes two different versions of the film as well as a hidden version using the planned but never completed black and white opening (trust me, it's THE way to watch the film). The plethora of extras are all a hoot, although Tim Curry should really just drop the "I've moved on from all that" act and just enjoy the madness and have taken part in this collection given his performance is ninety percent of what people talk about when they talk "Rocky Horror". Particularly enjoyable is the Richard O'Brien and Patricia Quinn commentary, it's refreshing to hear two old friends and professionals just kicking back and talking about the work they did. Great disc, kudos to the suits at Fox.

Summary: Best DVD Features Ever
Review: Not only is Rocky Horror Picture Show one of the best movies/Rock Operas of all time, but it also has the best DVD features I've ever seen. In this 25th Anniversay Edition, you get a DVD Rom with interviews, music videos, a VH1 Pop-Up Video, Outtakes, Cast Bios, and much much more. If you're going to buy this movie, get it on DVD, it's worth every penny!

Summary: LOVE RHPS, NOT CRAZY ABOUT THE DVD
Review: OK, let me just get this out of the way. I love Rocky Horror Picture show. But...I think they could have done a better job the DVD. The scene selections menu is poorly designed and slow. Also, the outtakes aren't anything to write home about. The idea of including audience participation tracks was a great idea, but the execution left something to be desired. First of all, it doesn't sound like a theater. It sounds like they went to a theater, gathered up a bunch of people and then brought them into a sound studio where they had the movie playing on a TV. If they really wanted to the audience participation experience, they could have actually filmed at a theater so you could see all the sight gags and the people acting on stage.But hey, it's RHPS, so you really can't go wrong here if you don't already own a copy. If you haven't seen RHPS before or have only seen it on TV, GO TO THE THEATER.

Summary: I took time out to actually learn the time warp...
Review: Rocky Horror Picture Show has to be, by far, my favorite movie of all time. Tim curry is fabulous in drag and is so perfect. It also stars a very young susan sarandon, who surprised me with a great singing voice, and a tall guy who's name i cant remeber spends half the movie in a pair of tighty whiteys. Anyway, why do i like this movie?? Because it is possibly the best musical of all time, with songs more addictive that an *nsync song, and a story that would make them go runing to their mommies. A true cult classic that leaves most people confused and violated but different people (like me) will spend the whole time singing along and enjoying it thouroghly. Just go ahead and watch it, it probably wont make sense, but if you just give in and stop trying to figure out the plot, it will become your favorite movie too!!!

Summary: My Favorite Obsession!
Review: "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" is my favorite movie in the whole wide world. The songs are timeless and most of the performances are truly classic. Anyone who thinks Tim Curry should have won the Oscar for his performance in this film, raise your hand. I think so, too! I really do like this DVD, but I would actually only recommend it to people who have never seen the movie before. I will explain. As everyone knows, the thing about "Rocky Horror" is the audience participation. If you just watch the movie by yourself in your living room, it is fun, but not as fun as hearing people shout witticisms at the screen. With this DVD you can watch the movie by yourself, and take in all the madness..but you can also experience the live aspect with the feature that allows you to hear the callbacks and see a live "Rocky" cast performing. I think that's an excellent and necessary feature of a DVD version of such a film. Now, purists such as myself might be a little disappointed at this DVD. The "hilarious outtakes" and such are not different than those which were featured on the 20th Anniversary laserdisc. It kinda nullifies having to buy the DVD, but if you really really want to, it's not a bad idea. Hearing Richard O'Brien and Patricia Quinn's (Riff-Raff and Magenta, respectively) running commentary is worth the price of admission, so go ahead and splurge. :)

Summary: Give Yourself Over to Rocky Horror
Review: This is an absolutely wonderful DVD! Packed with loads of sinful extras that will chill you, thrill you, and fulfill you! Rocky Horror has never looked or sounded as fabulous as it does on this DVD. Disc one contains two versions of the film (UK and US) with audio commentary by Richard O'Briena and Pat Quinn, an audience participation track, and DVD ROM extras (a video jukebox, games, a Rocky Horror timeline, and screensavers). Disc 2 contains deleted musical scenes ("Superheroes" & "Once in a While"), alternate takes, documentaries, sing-alongs, and more. If you're a fan of ROCKY HORROR, this is a DVD you can't be without. Frank's throwing one of his affairs, so why don't you some up to the lab and see what's on the slab?

Summary: Frustrated user
Review: I have found this DVD extremely frustrating. I am a big fan of this movie and purchased the DVD planing to watch it on my computer which always worked fine with other DVD movies. However despite many hours of downloading drivers and various programs I have not been able to view this DVD. What is worse my computer is now not working as well as it did before. Based on my experience I sugest that you take care with this DVD if you are planning to view it with a DVD ROM drive.

Summary: Utterly Stupid. Beyond Pointless.
Review: This film came out 25yrs ago and flopped,and looking at it,it isn't hard to see why. This made the recent "South Park" movie look good. Why anyone likes it is beyond me,my wife does and she asked me to watch it with her and I tried... I really did,but after about 10 minutes I was shouting at the screen and I don't think it was what I was supposed to be shouting either so she asked me to leave which I did, gladly. I have this annoying thing I do called "Thinking" and the more I thought about this movie the more I hated it. The plot (if it has one,I couldn't find it) is a joke, the acting stupid,and it has a good cast too Curry,Sarandon,Meat Loaf. Honestly,whoever made this owes his cast an apology.As I watched this I couldn't help but think we are deep in "Student Film"country here. If you like a "good movie" as this piece of garbage is so often mistakenly called,rent "Star Wars"either one of them,they are the definition of "Good Movies." definitely avoid this though and mabe it will finally go away.
