NEVER RECEIVED THE MOVIE. THERE ARE A LOT OF SCAMMERS OUT THERE, IT SEEMS. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I PURCHASED THIS ITEM AND PAID THE SAME DAY, I EMAILED THE SELLER ABOUT THE SHIPMENT OF THE ITEM, I WAS TOLD THAT SHE WAS WITHIN HER TIME FRAME. WHO THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD TAKE SUM 27 DAYS TO RECIEVE AN ITEM IN THE UNITED STATES. I PURCHASE ITEMS FROM EUROPE AND ASIA AND GET THEM MUCH FASTER. WHEN I RATED THE SELLER AS A NEUTRAL WHO WAS TO KNOW THAT SHE WAS GOING TO NOTE ME AS A NEGATIVE AS WELL AS CALLED ME IGNORANT AND A LIAR. ITS SELLER LIKE THIS THAT GIVE EBAY A BAD NAME AND I HAVE PURCHASE OVER 10000 DOLLARS WORTH OF MERCHANDISE FROM SELLERS AS WELL AS BEEN BEATEN OUT OF ALMOST A THOUSAND WORTH BUT AT LEASE THE THEIVES DIDNT CALL ME NAMES. I WILL THINK TWICE BEFORE PURCHASING ITEMS FROM A SELLER WHEN I CAN PURCHASE THE ITEMS LOCALLY FOR THE SAME OR A LITTLE MORE WITH OUT THE AGGREAVATION AND NAME CALLING. ALSO IF YOU WHERE TO CHECK THE OTHER NEGATIVES FROM THE SELLER ALL ARE THE SAME COMPLAINTS FROM DOZENS OF BUYERS !

Classic! In order to do Rocky Horror, you have to know Rocky Horror. The movie on its own is pretty boring, I have to admit. However, the cult phenomenon that was a night out at The Rocky Horror Picture Show, was once something not to be missed. Too bad hardly any theaters will let casts perform it anymore! This DVD features an additional soundtrack of various casts shouting various lines, which is a great idea on the surface. Unfortunately, they're never shouting out the same lines and talk over eachother so often that it gives me a headache. (and I'm a Rocky veteran)I got this so my own older children might be able to experience the show, and it almost works. I'd suggest downloading a few scripts (with shouted lines added) from the internet and picking your favorite before you watch this, though. After that, get a copy of The Time Warp and dance the night away with your kids. Good times will be had, I promise! (Just remember, don't fall down at the end of the song!!!) Oh, and in case you couldn't figure it out, I mean OLDER kids...this IS NOT for young 'uns.

I am positive you will like this movie, I have enjoyed it very much. If you like Tim Curry you will like the movie, not much else I can say but buy the movie and watch it, you will be glad you did.

ilove to show my 13 year old that i was also thirteen once.
that we all turn into our parents. and that in all liklihood my grandchildren will be viewing this film as well. i decided to buy only after my child requested a interest. and i found it fascinating that todays generation can see the greatest in this film.

if you like strange movies this is for you it is older that 2002 that is when it was put out on DVD. I rate it 5 out of 5 on a strange level.

For this particular item, I attempted to pay with PayPal but it wouldn't accept. So after contacting the seller, he set a BidPay, well that didn't work either so we didn't continue any further. I didn't receive the item and we just gave up on the auction. The seller claimed to be new to ebay and was having trouble getting the PayPal thing set up correctly.
Well about a week later I got an email from ebay telling me that the seller had been suspended and any feedback that the seller had left would be removed. So this auction was a bit odd, but I didn't lose any money on the deal or anything. Just missed out on a great deal on a DVD I really wanted. BUt oh well.

This is a wonderfully wicked and campy film. I didn't realize that the UK version had differences from the US version until I viewed it on this disc. I prefer the ending of the UK version and the black and white to color scenes of "There's a Light to the "TIme Warp also. Fantastic film lots of fun even for those who have seen it multiple times as I have.

THIS IS A GREAT DVD. I WAS AN ORIGINAL ROCKY FAN IN THE 70'S. MY DAUGHTER IS A TOTAL FAN NOW IN THIS GENERATION AND I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE AN IDEAL CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR HER. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DVD FOR ANY ROCKY HORROR FAN.

At first viewing I was embarassed (mega) but now it's one of my favorite movies. The same went for several of my friends I introduced to the movie. At first they were embarassed, and a little horrified but now they are obsessed fans.

I would of loved it... But I never got it. I bought it for my husband's birthday which is coming up really soon (November 15). Hopefully it will be here in time. I sent the payment October 3rd or 4th and no sign of it.

If you had to select, this would probably be the best version to get (yes, there are imitations with other "stars" available). Excellent version! All the songs and stars we know are here and they sound "right". Other versions can leave you somewhat disappointed but this is quality. I've bought a few different versions of this movie (including one from Riff Raff himself!) and each seems to be different in some small but noticeable way. Note that this soos issue of the film is on a DVD format. Please note that my reviews are based on the product only. At the time of writing, the seller is completely unknown to me.

I grew up watching this movie, its a classic! The special features make this movie a must have for any diehard fan. It has the full length version, the audience participation version, and tips for theater viewing. Absolutely Excellent! I wanted to buy the movie on DVD, because my VHS version was only the audience participation version and was wearing out. The ability to watch the movie any way desired has changed, but the enjoyment of it has not.

I went to a live theater permormance and I am now not a RHPS "virgin" so now I have this movie, enjoyable, to use as a source to chose costume props for my next theatre encounter. What a hoot. Leave your judegmental mind at home , or if at home, leave it at the doorstep and close the blinds and have a ball.

Rocky Horror is an artistic phenomenon. People who see it usually want to see it again. It has been a staple in many movie theaters for midnight movies in college towns for decades. The music in it does not show age.

The production started as a stage play about the heroin and drug culture in London. It was there but it wasn't unless you happened to open the door. Cultures within cultures, life not as we know it, pleasure unknown, fear of the new and fears even within it born of it, different systems of belief and ethics and philosophies that the normal world finds impossible and prefers invisible. Like most mysteries in stereotype, the butler wrote it, of all things. It's incredible even deacdes after it became a vehicle for the relatively new talents showcased, most household names or familiar in the modern entertainment industry. The leads all have become stars in their own right, with Meatloaf a musician recognized internationally in days nearly demanding cover boy skinny looks for stars.

Artistically the root in the subculture within another which was so obvious is significant. The heroin subculture really existed in London. Today England has a modern attitude toward heroin use and that kind of subculture is not so obvious. Yet the reality is that even without that extreme obviousness, every culture, every community, has cultures within its larger description. An advertisement for sociology and cultural anthropology awareness on the local level.

Artistically also a description of a system of belief which is a description of the artist angst and energy feeding the vision and hope of a group. An echo of Robert Browning the poet being described as a leading light of his society of the time (light at the end of the tunnel reference). To participate with the art is to have that end of that tunnel there before one gets there .... And sometimes, the art is the only statement of hope that some do have in their lives.

The DVD out now has the straight play of the movie as one might see it in a theater plus a version with audience interaction in costume. I've seen the rocky horror picture show so many times, and I've seen movie star bodies in dress doing this. In Phoenix in 1979 a person actually had a flame thrower that could do a ten foot flame when the song would say "there's a light, over at the Franken .. etc" . No one was ever hurt. A statement itself. Different is not always danger. This version is not necessarily the groups who go out to movie castings during the week and then do the show weekends. It's normal people. A letdown for some, but reality is what it is. The show itself is not a letdown. A classic worth having on one's shelf. Never look at the world the same way again is the invitation.

I saw Rocky Horror Picture Show in the Chelsea Theatre in Manhattan, and it was great. Actor/Fans dressed all the parts and acted out scenes in the front of the theatre. Fans seated in the audience screamed funny and obscure things at the screen. It was like being drunk without drinking. Live theatre for the poor (cost just a regular ticket to the movies $10). Ingenious.
The DVD lacks the crowd mentality. It's always fun at a Halloween party, but I'd never sit and watch it myself alone. I'd feel I alone was talking to the screen, kind of cuckoo.
I assume most big cities have a Rocky Horror showing with the live actors. Maybe not. If you can get to a showing, though, I fully reccommend it. It's not exactly life-changing, but its fun and inexpensive entertainment. If you can't get to a theatre showing, I guess the DVD is allright.

I'm from the "boomer" generation, but never got the chance to see the show-was too busy raising my kids. When I saw it up for auction, I knew I just had to have it. I didn't know what to expect, but once it started, I couldn't stop it !! What an experience this was- the music, singing and dancing were great!!! And to think that the idea of a "time warp" was going on back in the day is amazing to me. Costumes and make-up were outstanding. Tim Curry was just brilliant!!! I'm so sorry I never got to go to one of the live shows-they had to have been a real blast, but at least I can watch the dvd over and over now- which will definitely happen. So glad I made this purchase!!!

Who doesn't love that song?? Written by Richard O'Brian who plays Riff Raff..this film stars Tim Curry (Pennywise in "Stephen Kings It") Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick in the title roles also stars Patricia Quinn as Magenta and MeatLoaf as Eddie..Film opens on a Wedding Brad takes his chances and propses to his love Janet..she says yes of course while ogling her engagement ring I love the line "it's better then the one Betty Munroe had" next scene they're traveling down a old dirt road in the dark, during a bad storm on their way to visit an ex Teacher in who's class they first met..a flat tire and a song away they find the castle..that's where the fun begins..filled with music comedy dancing and laughter this movie will delight everyone who watches it..and yes it is a strange one..I do not recommend this film to anyone under the age of 18..purely due to the sex rather the hint of sex involved in this film..

Saw it first in 1973 or 4. The first time a person sees it should be in a theater but home viewing is also recommended to remember the essence of the first viewing. This movie is definitely a classic!

This is a must see for all you cult film fans out there. A different kind of musical, heavily speckled with sex and rock'n roll, you'll want to watch it again just to sing along. These are the kind of songs to listen to in your car on your way to work (what a great way to start your work day!). If you haven't seen it yet, you are being a bit remiss in your duties. Watch it. You won't regret it!

THis movie is for adults not for little children but if u have an open mind and love to laugh then this movie is a good one for u and ur spouse to enjoy together it will definitly make u think twice of where u go to use a telephone. So if ur ever stranded and need a phone stay away from those weird looking castles cause chances are u may not make it back a normal person u will be leaving one life behind and starting a new one. so if u want a break from reality then watch this movie and have a lot of laughs i gurantee u will not be bored with this movie enjoy.

Considering that Rocky Horror was released in 1975. The picture, and sound are just amazing, not to mention that this Multi-story is just hilarious! From two college sweet-hearts just intending to thank the man (whose) class they met in (Susan Sarandon, and Barry Bostwick).

They find themselves in a creepy castle, with a creepy Vampric butler, and maid. Right along with other aliens singing 'Folk' music. It can't top off a powerhouse performance from Tim Curry as Dr. Frankfurter as he strips to the awesome theme of: Sweet Transvestite. Or even the innocent, naive, muscle man 'Rocky' and Hot Patootie MeatLoaf are a good Mix to this movie.

So whether you are a musical fan, or just part of the awesome Rocky Horror cult-This movie is a must! Also the Broadway Musical itself is a MUST SEE!! A++ On this DVD, it also has tons of extra features such as: DVD ROM games, Prompters for the in movie experience, a Theatrical version to see people actually acting out scenes through the movie. Commentaries and so much more!

This movie is a cult classic! After having seen it in theaters for many years I decided that I HAD to add it my personal collection. It is a wonderful mixture of music and imagination. The cast of characters is amazing as well....Brian Bosworth, Susan Sarandon, Meatloaf... The story line is about young love, heartache and sexual exploration. It is a must have for anyone who loves the cult classics. I HIGHLY recommend adding this one you your collection.
