Why is ``The Rocky Horror Picture Show'', the original movie that was popularly screened, continued to be loved both now and in the future?
Love for science fiction and B-grade horror
However, ``The Rocky Horror Picture Show'' has continued to be loved not just for its audience participation style. The reason why it has been revered as a cult movie over time is because the creator, Richard O'Brien, was inspired by his favorite science fiction and B-grade horror, and because of that, it is a treasure trove of material. It is.
The opening number ``Science Fiction, Double Feature'' mentions `` The Day the Earth Stood Still'' (51), `` Flash Gordon '' series, `` The Invisible Man '' (33), and `` King Kong '' (33). ), `` It Came from Outer Space'' (53), ` ` Doctor ' (63), ' The Last Day on Earth ' (51), etc.
Initially, there was an idea to use clips from these works in the film version, but production designer Brian Thompson objected, and they instead decided to use a close-up of Man Ray's lips as inspiration. As a result, it was handed down as a legendary opening unlike any other. By the way, the lips are done by Patricia Quinn, who plays Magenta, and the singing voice is by Richard O'Brien.

What appears to be the symbol mark of many film companies also appears in the film. For example, Warner Bros.'s shield, RKO's thunder and radio tower, and the character name Columbia are, of course, from the studio of the same name, but the fact that she is a woman with short hair is the same as the symbol of the goddess. The cat that roars loudly is MGM's lion. The glowing globe is universal. The Mickey Mouse ears that Columbia wears are, of course, Disney.
There are many direct references to Magenta's hairstyle from `` The Bride of Frankenstein '' (35), and the mansion called Oakley Court, which was used in the filming of Frank's Castle, has been used in numerous Hammer models such as `` The Bride of Dracula '' (60). It has also been used in horror movies (it has now been converted into a hotel).
