Location of dropped purse during "Dammit, Janet".

When Brad and Janet are standing in the rain outside of Dr.

Frank-N-Furter's castle, only the corners of Janet's newspaper are wet.

Throughout the pool scene, Dr.

Frankenfurter's tattoo changes repeatedly between shots.

When Doctor Frank-N-Furter is descending on the elevator in his first appearance, his legs are positioned differently in close-up while tapping his foot.

The doctor's surgical gloves.

The red carpet disappears momentarily during Columbia's tap dance.

Wire pulling Doctor Scott up the stairs the second time.

When Frank is pulling the lever to bring Dr.

Scott in for the first time, he begins to raise his leg.

When the scene flashes away, then back, he is raising his other leg.

Numerous small continuity errors could be considered as intentional.

Janet lifts her heel when she is supposedly stuck to the floor.

During the chase scene at the end of "Hot Patootie," a camera is visible.

Scott's fishnets disappear and reappear several times during "Wild and Untamed Thing".

When Frank rises out of the pool to perform "Wild And Untamed Thing" he is sitting on the shoulders of Rocky, and not a mysterious bald crew member as some thought.

After Frank sings Happy Birthday to Rocky and sits down, Magenta's arm can be seen at the side of the screen.

However, in subsequent shots she can be seen still serving dinner.

The position of Janet's feet when they are stuck to the floor in the lab.

Rocky is climbing up the radio tower and carrying Frank.

When the tower falls, Rocky is holding on to the tower with both hands, and Frank's dead body is holding on to Rocky.

When Janet faints, the hand she raises to her forehead switches from left to right between shots.

Riff Raff fills Dr.

Scott's mug twice, once in close-up of Rocky, then again in the next wide shot.

Frank's blue eye shadow fixes itself after he smears it during "I'm Going Home".

After the castle flies away at the end of the movie, the background still shows the castle.

Scott is being carried away from the castle by Brad and Janet at the end of the movie when Magenta and Riff Raff are just about to transport the castle away.

After the explosion of the castle "taking off", Brad, Janet, and Dr.

Scott can be seen lying strewn across the grounds, Dr.

Scott lying on the remains of his wheel chair, which he did not have just moments before.

Frank snaps Janet's bra strap, but in the next shot it's back where it should be.

The sax that Eddie plays in "Hot Patootie" has no reed.

The criminologist mentions that the movie takes place in November.

However, in the car, Brad and Janet are listening to 'Richard Nixon' (qv)'s resignation speech, which took place in August.

This was added by the filmmakers to show that Brad is a nerd who has an audio tape of the speech.

After Dr Scott crashes through the wall, you can see him moving his wheels towards the ramp, but as he is being pulled by the "magnet" he doesn't need to do this.

During "Wild and Untamed Thing" a crew member can be seen walking on the catwalk above the stage.

When you see the statues on the sides of two naked men, the one of the left has no speaker on the side, and next time you see it, the speaker is clearly visible.

When Eddie starts riding his motorcycle up the ramp, a Transylvanian on the left of the screen accidentally knocks the head off the statue prop.

The ramp that Dr.

Scott is pulled up has changed to a staircase by the time of "Planet Shmanet" later in the movie.

This could be one of Frank's gadgets.

During "Hot Patootie" a Transylvanian says "lovely party" but his lips does not match the words.

When Brad and Janet are being undressed, Brad's sweater is pulled over his head.

The shirt he wearing under it is clearly already completely unbuttoned, to speed the process.

The chalk heart that Brad draws on the church door during "Dammit Janet" changes shape between shots.

Rocky, Frank's "perfect man," has fillings in his teeth.

Frank's position changes several times throughout "Hot Patootie.

" Frank's hair changes in the scene at the dinner when Dr Scott is talking about Eddie.

When Riff Raff says "I think you'd better both come inside," his mouth is not moving in one of the shots.

During the dinner scene, Brad slams his fist down onto the table, hitting the hand of Janet, who winces in pain and jumps, and then is rubbing her hand just barely out of sight.

When Janet and Brad are scuttling off to the side of the stage at the end of Wild and an Untamed Thing, she accidentally stabs his foot with her high heels, causing him to wince and stumble in incredible pain.

As Eddie is riding his motorcycle around after his song, his black eye changes from his left to his right.

- PLOTWhen Eddie gets off the motorcycle the engine cuts off when his hands are in the air and not able to turn the key.

When Riff Raff is talking to Brad and Janet at the front door, he is tapping the door with his forefinger in frontal shots, but not when the camera is behind him.

During the dinner scene, Magenta pours wine into Dr.

Scott's glass twice.

At the end of "Time Warp", Janet pokes her elbow into Brad and says, "Say Something", twice.

Once in a wide angle shot, and again, seven seconds later, in the close-up.

After Eddie has been crudely hacked to death with a pick axe, he has no wounds whatsoever, and is visibly breathing.

During the song "I Can Make You a Man", a crew member's hands can be seen pulling a string attached to the pommel horse as Frank pushes it behind the elevator.

When performing the floor show, the position of the backdrop and the white curtain changes.

On a wide shot, the curtain and the backdrop lettering appears high above the actors.

On a narrow shot, the curtain and lettering appear right above their heads.

During "Hot Patootie", when it shows a close-up of Eddie as he's riding the motorcycle around the lab, he mouths the wrong words on two occasions.

After Frank kills Eddie, there is a stream of blood on the floor leading to the freezer, but he clearly didn't hit him with the axe until they were both already in the freezer.

In the 'Wedding Chapel' scene the photographer's Flash is first a 1960's style with the disposable 'Flash bulbs'.

Seconds later it has turned into a modern 'Electronic Flash'.

The light Columbia uses on Frank-N-Furter during "I'm Going Home" is a fresnel and would not provide the same type of light that a real spotlight does.

Janet's shoes are black in the beginning of the movie, then change to white when they get to the laboratory.

Frank-N-Furter's tattoos are partially washed off in the pool scene.

(*Lyrics excerpt*) - "Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch me! I wanna feel dirty!

Even though I purposely allowed for the fact that this demented Musical/Comedy is now 40 years old, that still didn't prevent me from giving it a below-average, 4-star rating.If you ask me - On top of having way too many abrasive characters in its story (who were repeatedly being loud and annoying), this utterly wacky wonderland tale (with its 100-minute running time) also went on and on for far too long with so much of its nonsense that it quickly became pointless and tiresome.

This movie, or should I say musical is so memorable it's no wonder it is a cult classic. The songs are awesome rock and roll/ poetic ballad types that you will not be able to get out of your head.

Maybe it was the overly enthusiastic fans that kept shouting movie quotes that ruined this movie. Maybe it's because I can't relate to this movie.

Okay I have watched this movie 38 years after it was made and even now in this modern age it is definitely not like any other musical out there. I can understand why they call it a cult-classic, after I watched the Show I couldn't stop Tim Warping in my room...

Love this movie, so much. Just a great, free, celebration, but with a masterful Tim Curry lead it's unbeatable.

This is one of the strangest, wackiest, craziest, weirdest, authentic, eccentric movies, no, experiences I have ever witnessed in the best way possible.Words CANNOT describe how much I love this masterpiece that we call a movie.

Dissect, disassemble and reassemble to your hearts content, conjure any number of meanings and misinterpretations, then rewind, warp back in time, remove head from derriere and wallow in this absolute pleasure again and again and again.

I know that the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" is one film that's a cult classic and is on many of lists for midnight shows in art house cinema's and it even plays at many homes late at night. So I decided to check it out and clearly the film did not hold my interest as it just wasn't my cup of tea.
