![]() There is also an option to watch the movie in black and white then jumping into colour (as per the Easter egg feature on the previous DVD release). There is the option to watch both the US and UK versions of the movie, the latter of course having the full version of the song 'Superheroes', which has featured on UK prints since T92. The details is so clear you can spot details you've not noticed before and I say that after seeing the movie many hundreds of times over. A good example of this is on the bedroom scenes whilst Janet's room is still the nice red tint, Brad's room gets a more neutral hue, rather than the exaggerated blue of previous releases. Not a scratch in sight, excellent resolution and it looks like a lot of the footage has been improved. ![]() This is the best I have seen the movie since watching the brand new print that Fox ran us for T92. I do have one minor gripe about the navigation, the combination of left/right arrows and enter key presses are not very obvious to start and do take a little getting used to, and you are talking to a man with far too many DVD's and blu-ray's already here. Lovely animated menu images greet you as the disc loads. atthough strictly speaking the audio commentary with Richard O'Brien and Patricia Quinn seems to be the same one from the DVD release. The long awaited blu-ray release of The Rocky Horror Picture Show hit the shops here in the UK on Monday 18th October 2010 with a new DTS HD 7.1 sound track and remastered video.Īlso included were several new Special Features. Video Cellar Win a copy in our Competition Press ReleaseĤ0th anniversary edition now available - click here for more information. The return after intermission? Frank and Rocky are back from their honeymoon, Hawaiian shirted and lei’ed, as zombie Eddie uses one more death rattle to chase the remaining cast members back to the backstage.TimeWarp - Rocky Horror 35th Anniversary Bluray They’re quickly followed by a horrified Brad and Janet as a zombified Eddie chases them offstage with blood running down his mouth. As Act I closed, Rocky and Frank are married and exit down the aisle, outfitted by the Transylvanians in a tattered black veil and a bouquet made of beheaded Barbie dolls, as Magenta and Riff Raff follow, scattering dead rose petals behind them. An added twist? The tags read “Dylan,” “Amber” and “Tiffani,” the implication being that the Transylvanians had body-snatched some local teens and part-time mall employees after crash-landing.īeyond our terrifying trio, even the iconic Frank look was adjusted to match the style of the time period - he takes on an early-90s rock vibe, complete with high-heeled boots, patent leather hotpants, spiky chokers and bracelets, mesh tank and Robert-Palmer-girl-esque hair and makeup.Īnother costuming detail was born out of a venue-specific necessity - presented in an unconventional space at local bar ICON Lounge, the team sought to give an impetus for the actors to leave the stage at the end of Act I so that the actors would have access to the green room and the restroom… located behind the audience. Each was outfitted with the look of a different Sam Goody employee, from the yellow polos to the nametags. ![]() Starting with our welcome party, Riff Raff, Magenta and Columbia. The wardrobe choices also told a story that leaned into the overarching theme. Saving this reveal for “The Time Warp” was intentional - the set began the production covered in muslin cloths, and our intrepid aliens revealed the galleria just in time to literally warp time to the ‘90s.įrom the Sam Goody, Blockbuster, Claire’s and Circuit City signage, to the pastel, cracked and dirtied tile floors, to the set dressing that featured everything from Nirvana and Pulp Fiction posters to a runway lined with VHS tapes, CD-ROMs, boom-boxes and Troll dolls, the scenic design depicted what a semi-exploded mall set 25 years ago might look like when the inhabitants aren’t exactly using a chore wheel to keep things tidy. Firmly planting the story in the ‘90s, the story behind the galleria was that our faithful crew of Transylvanians crash landed into the mall and promptly took over, allowing the building to fall into disrepair in the years since. Transporting the proceedings from a palatial manor in a bygone era to a shopping mall in the more recent past, the Frankenstein Place Galleria took shape. So our tech team embarked on something of a departure from the norm - life’s more delicious that way, right?! When it comes to iconic aesthetic in musical theater, you can’t get much more well-trod than the legendary looks of Rocky Horror.
