The interviewer is so right that that Tim Curry entrance NEVER wears out. It is one of the very few constants in life. No matter how many times I see it I smile ear to ear and think "fuck, what a god damn legend."
gajaga789 Time warp was great but when Tim Curry showed up on screen and just stole the show that was when I became completely enamored with the movie and became an instant fan of Tim Curry.
The best movie moment ever. Tim Curry's entrance as the elevator descends, his foot stomping, and then you see his face. He flings the door open and says "How'd you do I, see you've met my faithful handyman . . . Nothing will every top it
And the way he rounds his vowels in the crispest of English accents, especially on "brought down" which seems to acquire ten more syllables, is electrifying.
What a gracious woman to so clearly state her affection and loyalty for a low budget film made at the beginning of her career in which she was forced to sing with difficulty. An Oscar winner who is not too proud to remember her roots. Fittingly, she recently played Bette Davis, another actress who couldn't sing well but who was pushed to.
I actually liked Susan's voice in the film. Obviously not much of one (I guess because of her phobia) but I always thought it was really unique and interesting. Had a Marilyn Monroe quality but was quite distinctive to her. It wasn't BAD, even if she had no range. Lol.
She has a nice voice, and she can sing in tune. It was perfect for this part. If she had marketed herself as a “singer” I think most people would believe it. She has more range than a lot of the self-proclaimed singers today.
This woman. She is like the mother of every person who "dreams it but is too afraid to be it". She was Janet, and then she went on decades later to do Mother Lover with Lonely Island and Justin Timberlake, you can't not be passionate about her.
I grew up with RHPS. Went to the midnight show for years in the early 80’s and 90’s and loved it. It wasn’t until years later that I relocated to Northern California where I finally began going to a live showing every year that I started to experience it in a different venue. RHPS changed my life those years ago.
Tim Curry's entrance is quite possibly the best ever. Funnily enough, the second best is also in RHPS: Doctor Scott's entrance into Frank's lair. Crashing through a wall ("Great Scott!"), barrelling down a ramp to the sound of a Stuka dive bomber, smashing into the electro magnet and just "Frank N. Furter... we meet at last".
In the movie "Fame" the characters go to a midnight screening of Rocky Horror and that gave Rocky a huge boost of notoriety. It already had a huge fan base by that time but the main stream audience was not the type to rush to a midnight movie. After it appeared in the movie "Fame" more and more people started going and it really took off!
I remember that. I saw it in LA in 19... 77? '78? Before it was well-known. The audience all knew and yelled the *same* lines, rather than yelling through the whole thing, and did the whole newspapers on their heads/water pistols, throwing toast, etc, thing.
That would have been INCREDIBLE if they had stuck to the original plan and had it black and white until Curry's elevator entrance. Gaud that would have exploded off the screen even more. Especially due to him turning around from the darkness of the elevator.
Yup. Thanks to Ms. Sarandon for being it, not just dreaming it. Bless you and they rest of RHPS cast/crew. Since the first timebI saw it many years ago, I realized it was someting special. I still have to conciously stop myself
Long career, respected by her peers, well known to even casual movie watchers, has rarely received a bad review, has over 20 Oscar, Golden Globe, Emmy, and SAG nominations...but somehow you think she's underrated 🙄
the rocky horror show show played in frankfurt for years as an opener for one of the downtown movie houses. i will not be surprised if its still gning on today...
it was supposed to be like the wizard of OZ, black and white until Dorothy gets to OZ, the same was supposed to happen with RHPS, it was all black and white until Frank n Furter made his entrance, then it was supposed to go into colour thats what she meant.
@@ladyjennyanytime5195 they have this in the blu ray but instead of when frank appears it goes into color as they burst through the door during the time warp
I think my favourite part is when he prances down the aisle after he throws the cape off so matter of fact, head thrown back, grabs a drink and sort of ignores them.
A friend of mine said her mother took her and her friends to see Rocky Horror in 1975 for her 13th Bday in Tacoma WA. So the movie had to of been in theaters to some extent. IDK if Susan knows how it unfolded correctly.
The first time I saw Rocky Horror was also the first time I did acid. Rice and toast falling on me. Getting squirted by water guns. Definitely a unique movie experience.
I was in film school at Ohio State University when 20th Century Fox debuted Rocky Horror Picture Show across High Street at one of the major cinemas. My film theory instructor at the time encouraged all of us to go and see it. Unlike what Susan said, it played at the theater for several days, not just in LA. While many people wrote it off, a bunch of us from film school loved it. It surprised me later, when I went to LA in 77, to find it playing at the Tiffany Theater on Sunset Blvd as the Midnight Movie every Saturday night. A whole group of local actors would come down and play the parts on the stage. This was the start of a great movement. I like Susan but she doesn't have her facts straight on the timeline.
I was like first year in college and Rocky Horror came out and this black and white LSD trip called Eraser Head. OMG if you ever want to blow the mind of an 18 year old.
Yes I remember Eraser Head. And what was that other one that came out about the same time with 'Smellovision', the card everyone got where you smell the corresponding number or label to coincide with the scene on the screen?
The film was shot in the United Kingdom at Bray Studios and on location at an old country estate named Oakley Court, best known for its earlier use by Hammer Film Productions. A number of props and set pieces were reused from the Hammer horror films. Although the film is both a parody of and tribute to many kitsch science fiction and horror films, costume designer Sue Blane conducted no research for her designs. Blane has claimed that her creations for the film directly affected the development of punk rock fashion trends such as torn fishnet stockings and colorfully-dyed hair. Largely critically panned on initial release, it soon became known as a midnight movie when audiences began participating with the film at the Waverly Theater in New York City in 1976. Audience members returned to the cinemas frequently and talked back to the screen and began dressing as the characters, spawning similar performance groups across the United States. At almost the same time, fans in costume at the King's Court Theater in Pittsburgh began performing alongside the film. This "shadow cast" mimed the actions on screen above and behind them, while lip-syncing their character's lines.
Joe 1970 Film Joe is a 1970 American drama film written by Norman Wexler and directed by John G. Avildsen. It stars Peter Boyle, Dennis Patrick, and Susan Sarandon in her film debut.Wikipedia
It really is an amazing film. PERFECT acting! The hell will the negative criticism from conservative hypocrites. They probably watch the film hidden in their closets.
I'm sorry Susan, Rocky Horror became a cult by the late 1970s. Siskel and Ebert mentioned the toast throwing and stuff when they were still on PBS. I graduated high school in 1980 so I know.
Could someone help me understand what she was saying towards the end? She said that they almost faded it to black and white "as he got sicker" and then film it to color again "he's back in there." What is she referring to? This is at the very, very end of this video.
I just love susan sarandon so,shes great, she is so warm and down to earth 💖also my very best friend for 40 +yrs looks like her so much they could b sisters ii like to look at her and love her too.
Its because for YEARS she told people Not to bring up Rocky Horror. She’s so full of herself. I only clicked on it because I couldn’t believe she was going to talk about Janet.
Imagine all someone needs now is editing softwesre and they could make the film how it was supposed to be. Black n white until u see his red lips is probably the only way that scene could ever even try to be better then it already is
I really like her, you could tell she had a hard time even processing it now because, being flamboyant was a step in the right direction for accepting Homosexuality, which is not a sin. The word isn't even mentioned in the Bible
i've never been a huge fan of the film but that doesn't mean i hate it either cause i don't. hell i've even met a few people in it, i've meat Meatloaf, Perry Beddon a really nice guy, and Kimmie Wong as really nice and funny too, and that's it but i have seen the models of the beds for Rocky's bed and than one of the beds that Janet and Brad used those were pretty cool in fact.
Lorenzo's Oil. Based on a true story about a couple whose son had a rare illness for which the doctors held out no hope, who treated him with some kind of oil (swallowed, not rubbed on, I believe), and it worked.

Best reveal EVER !
@Echo Was your Father Shocked/Horrified, when he found out your Mother has a Boyfriend? Did he do the Time Warp.......AGAIN?
The best movie moment ever. Tim Curry's entrance as the elevator descends, his foot stomping, and then you see his face. He flings the door open and says "How'd you do I, see you've met my faithful handyman . . . Nothing will every top it
Elisa Schwartz he’s just a little brought down because, when you knocked he thought you were the candyman
Yep, lost count how many times I have watched that scene! Even the shoes he is foot stomping with, all so perfect ann infectious 👍
And the way he rounds his vowels in the crispest of English accents, especially on "brought down" which seems to acquire ten more syllables, is electrifying.
just reading your comment about it makes me smile
Love that scene....that heal tapping even when he turned around...great

She was also deathly sick because it was freezing/wet during filming and she was in her underwear half the time
Honestly her range is pretty highin the movie, she hit up to a f5 in toucha-toucha... i loved her sultry soft airy head voice
She has a nice voice, and she can sing in tune. It was perfect for this part. If she had marketed herself as a “singer” I think most people would believe it. She has more range than a lot of the self-proclaimed singers today.
The movie was such a phenomenon that it just never get old. The sound quality of the music was also very important.
This woman. She is like the mother of every person who "dreams it but is too afraid to be it". She was Janet, and then she went on decades later to do Mother Lover with Lonely Island and Justin Timberlake, you can't not be passionate about her.
Ali H. I've always loved ms. Sarandon.
Don't forget 'The Banger Sisters'
She also played "Marmee" in "Little Women".

It wasn’t until years later that I relocated to Northern California where I finally began going to a live showing every year that I started to experience it in a different venue. RHPS changed my life those years ago.
I just rewatched Rocky Horror a couple of weeks ago. I absolutely love when we first see Tim Curry's entrance. It always puts a smile on my face.
It was interesting hearing her say that it was supposed to be in b/w til Tim Curry came down the lift. That would’ve been pretty cool!
I'm not sure about the blu ray version but it's an option on the Dvd and it's amazing!!!
These days it is done digitally at almost zero cost
Sort of a homage to Wizard of Oz
i actually loved her voice in the movie lol i think it gave a lot of distinction and uniqueness to the character
Her voice in Theres a Light was fucking epic EPIC!!
Tim Curry's entrance is quite possibly the best ever.
Funnily enough, the second best is also in RHPS: Doctor Scott's entrance into Frank's lair.

I was one of those kids in 1981 for whom Rocky Horror was a right of passage. I saw it countless times.
Me too. Played Riff Raff in the Shadow cast
@@rickpearlstein6421 The place I always went never had a shadow cast, although we would all flock to the front of the auditorium for the Time Warp.

She had the perfect voice for a young naive teen.
Love her socks and shoes.
I love her puppies in her white bra.
She was in the audience when Tim toured for his albums. At the Roxy. I got her autograph. Barry was there too. Around 1978
Now I kinda wanna make an edited version of rocky horror with the black and white idea
Masuna the DVD release has a special feature that starts it in black and white
DVD and Blu-Ray both, I think. :)
Love Susan Surandon. Thank you for posting this. Love, light and joy to all.
That would have been INCREDIBLE if they had stuck to the original plan and had it black and white until Curry's elevator entrance. Gaud that would have exploded off the screen even more. Especially due to him turning around from the darkness of the elevator.
She is a smart lady, and she was great in RHPS.
I could listen to Susan for hours.
I love her singing voice in that movie. 😊👍👍
Susan Sarandon thanks to you for all your help, for me to be able to see me and to all those who pass in front of me .
Yup. Thanks to Ms. Sarandon for being it, not just dreaming it. Bless you and they rest of RHPS cast/crew. Since the first timebI saw it many years ago, I realized it was someting special. I still have to conciously stop myself
She is so great in the film I love it
Proud to share the same birthday as her (4th October) 👏
Same here
I share mine with meat loaf lol
Singing is a skill and can be learned by most people, just like everything else.
She still pretty much looks the same as in the movie. She's so pretty and underrated and talented.
Long career, respected by her peers, well known to even casual movie watchers, has rarely received a bad review, has over 20 Oscar, Golden Globe, Emmy, and SAG nominations...but somehow you think she's underrated 🙄
the rocky horror show show played in frankfurt for years as an opener for one of the downtown movie houses. i will not be surprised if its still gning on today...
"I'm a muscle fa-aaaaan!"
“In just seven days…I can make you… A MAA…AAH AHH AHH AAANNNN”
Danforth Music Hall, Toronto... This movie played every Saturday night throughout my entire youth (or so it seemed)
Waiting for someone to do the black and white version now. What was so expensive could be done on a laptop now lol
they almost filmed it in black and white except for his lips
They have the version on dvd

Love her

It’s a cult classic!!! 🥰
The first time I saw Rocky Horror was also the first time I did acid. Rice and toast falling on me. Getting squirted by water guns. Definitely a unique movie experience.
God I’m so jealous
@@bichonfrisepup It really was the best of times. The taxi ride home with my friends in the pouring rain was surreal.
Me two--three--four times!!!

Wonder what else was going on that was so funny. Susan Sarandon was being pretty serious. Anyways, nice segment!

Wow interesting about the black&white .. cdnt they redo it?
oppsie..rocky horror was at midnight and the 2001 a space odyssey opened the movie programs...
It really is an amazing film. PERFECT acting! The hell will the negative criticism from conservative hypocrites. They probably watch the film hidden in their closets.
I'm sorry Susan, Rocky Horror became a cult by the late 1970s. Siskel and Ebert mentioned the toast throwing and stuff when they were still on PBS. I graduated high school in 1980 so I know.
I think it was 1979 when I saw it the first time in Fort Wayne, Indiana. What a hoot! Great movie, great time.
I remember that too. It had a strong cult following by then and its only grown since
This film is best crazy timeless just best film ever its just fantastic Tim curry is best ever she should be proud I love it I just love
4:02, can it be remastered and processed that way now?

+Jennifer W She's talking about "Lorenzo's Oil", and the intention to film it in that way ("he" is the child, protagonist of the movie).
She was referring to another film.
I think she's a pretty singer
I just love susan sarandon so,shes great, she is so warm and down to earth 💖also my very best friend for 40 +yrs looks like her so much they could b sisters ii like to look at her and love her too.
all I can hear is Narissa from Enchanted
It's just a jump to the left...
Susan Saranadon has been on the left her whole life.
I loveher
No more hurricanes
must be annoying to have people asking you about rocky horror all the time. I'm sure she wants to be remembered for her other roles more
Tom Robbins mom has gotten a lot older.
Its because for YEARS she told people Not to bring up Rocky Horror. She’s so full of herself. I only clicked on it because I couldn’t believe she was going to talk about Janet.
What are you talking about? She is not full of herself.
@@supershepherd People do see through their personal lens, what most fail to realize is the stem that leads back toward themselves.
I wish she would just drive off a cliff
Where was this? The audience is a little rude.
Sarandon had the best puppies in a white bra ever filmed.

Why would you 'wish' that someone you 'love' stayed in an unhappy situation?
Chris Sarandon was excellent as transvestite type love of A
Pacino in Dog Day Afternoon
She sang it great wtf?
I was actually more shocked now than I was then when it was first released, so I became a flamboyant hetrosexual
Lymphedema socks?
did she seriously cycle in to the interview put on a suit over her cycling gear.
Zzzz already fast asleep do not ever disturb again

I hope you're joking xD

she said 'kind of' 361 times. Hasn't anything ACCURATE ever happened to her?
She's so full of her own importance the only actor worse is meryl streep
