BY: Total Film Apr 1st 2001 FILED UNDER: DVD

A quarter of a century on and Rocky Horror has more staying power than a rhino on Viagra. Okay, so it's not for everyone, but with its quotable B-movie dialogue, sassy visual flair, some ridiculously catchy musical numbers and a killer performance from Tim Curry as Dr Frank-N-Furter, there's still plenty of life in the golden-thong-wearing reanimated corpse yet...

DVD Extras:

Audio commentary by actor/writer Richard O' Brien and actress Patricia Quinn, The Theatrical Experience, participation prompter, deleted musical number, outtakes, 37-minute Rocky Horror Double Features Video Show documentary, 45 minutes of excerpts and never before seen outtakes from VH1's Behind The Music and Where Are They Now? shows, alternate credit ending, trailers, photo gallery, sing-a-longs, misprint ending.Chuck away that worn-out video, 'cos this baby renders it entirely obsolete. Highlights of this quality transfer include an amusing, nostalgia-filled commentary from old luvvies O'Brien and Quinn, a rather sweet deleted song from Brad (Barry Bostwick) and a comprehensive Making Of which details the show's evolution from its origins in tiny London theatre to the global cult experience it's since remained. You can even recreate a live theatre experience here, with a fanatical audience soundtrack. All it's missing is a pack of enthusiastic fans decked out in full costume. Yep, this double discer is a fishnet-filled belter. Instant party... Just add booze.
