Well, he DID have a make up crew for the film I'm sure. They perfected the look, and I doubt he pulled this off in one take. That's why we have movies, to create perfect moments.
I've always dreamed of playing franknfurter in a production of rocky horror but I'm DEFINITELY lacking the confidence lol. I think I'd rock the outfit though if you were to ask me 😎
Saw this when it first came out. I was fifteen. Frank N. Furter RUINED me for normal guys. Never seen anyone to rival him. A luscious, gorgeous, jewel-like cat of a creature. What man could ever live up to THAT?
Tim curry‘s singing voice is so unique and so attractive to me. Especially when he sings that words “cover” in the beginning and when he goes “ha-ha” in the chorus. He absolutely nailed this role.
Apparently Richard O’Brien expected Meat Loaf to fluff some of the lyrics to Hot Patootie as due to its fast pace, it would be easy to fluff them. Meat Loaf nailed the song in just one rehearsal.
Men only? Imagine being a girl of 12 and not just questioning but KNOWING what Pennywise got underneath that clown costume! You don't entirely know why you wanna float with him yet, but you damn do!
First time seeing it back in the 80's in theaters with full audience participation. It was such surreal events. Years later i had always wondered what the actual movie was about because objects are flying and the audience is throwing out lines (hilarious ones of course) it throws the whole narrative off. Such a unique cinematic experience because it just grew organically. That cant' be duplicated or replicated.
@@robirvine6970 This makes it obvious you've never been to a live, proper performance because it really IS unique with improv, non-standard participation (they don't script when to throw shit or what you get. You get a baggie of shit and go wild), and the fact at my first show I had my RHPS cherry popped by a lovely lady passionately slapping my ass with a 5 foot long purple dildo bat in front of an entire crowd (including my mother and grandmother who were in tears laughing at how not ready I was lmao). Actors are encouraged to go off script and play with the audience.
That's what made Rocky Horror Rocky Horror. When it was just an ordinary movie, it bombed. When it was crazy and a whole lot of fun, then it became great. Been into this movie since the mid 70's. Remember seeing the trailer back then. It was great.
@@robirvine6970 The participation did grow and expand organically originally - more so in the States - as UK audiences did not quite ' get it' during first release. You are right that now script is available - but this was genuinely 'created' by those original later night cult fans in the earlier days.
My mom has done a lot of really messed up things… the best thing she ever did was get this movie for me for Christmas when I was 8yrs old… I’m 24yrs old now and I’m pretty positive I’m asexual, but this movie is about expectance of one’s self… an absolute classic. Tim Curry brought this character to life and owned every second of it
Funnily enough, when Richard O’Brian first wrote this, he envisioned Frank as an Aryan Nazi-type of character but after Tim Curry’s audition, he rewrote the entire character as a suave Englishman instead.
Ah Dr Frankenfurter. I remember watching this was a teenager; having so many confusing feelings about sexuality because of the doc. This character is still on my highlight reel after all these years. The best of both worlds.
@@marissashantez6051 for real! I was raised by some pretty repressed people. As an adult, I’m out and free to like whatever I like - I also have an 8x10 of Dr Frankenfurter on my wall in the office behind me for all of my uptight colleagues in video calls. 🤣
First time watching this as a kid: I am way too young for this. Watching it now: "his foundation needs to be a closer match to his skin tone if he's going to be showing that much skin." I think this movie did things to me
badpinionsrighthere ~ Lol! Hi in Feb '22 We "Boomers" may be getting long in the tooth but HIV didn't exist then; I feel It 4 the XYZ Generations how 'bout u? PS I'm a straight grandma of 7
I think the bright foundation was done on purpose, as drag is meant to be hyper feminine. It’s meant to mimic eras in makeup when it was popular to have a pale, bright face and high brows
It took me 26 years of life to finally watch this. Frank N Furter's entrance is the greatest character introduction I've ever seen. No contest. I knew as soon as it cut to him stamping his heel that this was going to be amazing.
Yes, but why doesn't anybody talk about all the other roles he's done, and done beautifully? He makes awful movies and plays magical. He's living Legend.
Story Time With Mom: My friend's high school age older brother and his buddies took us to see Rocky Horror Picture Show in 1980 when I was in 7th grade and I can honestly say the experience blew this then 13 year old girl's mind wide open. We saw it at a theater called The New Loft and it was featured at midnight every Saturday for years. Many people in the audience were dressed in costume, threw toilet paper ("Great Scott!") and sprayed water during the rainstorm scenes. I still fondly remember the experience 43 years later. Thank you David Shack wherever you are for graciously allowing your little sister and her skinny nerdy friend to tag along that night so long ago - it became a cherished memory I'll never forget. ❤
Tim curry is such a legend!!!! He made this movie so freaking awesome!!!! We used to go to a theater that played this movie on Halloween and they had actors on stage doing the movie and the crowd was so loud with this songs and the script and there was people that dressed up as their favorite characters!!!!!!!
“Well you got caught with a flat, hour ‘bout that?” Timmy Curry had to make the fucking perfect facial expression as he says this and the look he makes kills me every time 🤣
I have an enby friend who's really into the show. And they did this scene somewhat as a drag show at a halloween party. The first time they did something like this. Just to see the gender euphoria and the power that radiated into the room, it was amazing! And the outpouring support of everyone, it just warms my heart

I don't think that Susan Sarandan ever wanted to claim credit for being in this cult movie, but I think it launched her to stardom. And Tim Curry played his part so well.
When we weren't old enough to get into bars, and did not fit *at all* into any high school-related activities, and didn't want to join a gang (even if one would have wanted us) ... there was Rocky Horror at the midnight movies. our cultural oasis, our lifeline.
Lately I've seen many attempts at recreating this performance... NOT a single one has come close... Tim Curry really delivered an iconic performance that's hadn't been matched..
I was 15 when some older girls took me to see this at a midnight Georgetown (DC) theater. Fresh from living in Europe, I was highly annoyed with the audience for making it impossible to hear or watch the movie. I was also shocked (sheltered boy) at what I was watching. It took a couple of years, and yes more viewings, before I could actually appreciate the show. Today, I have the entire show on my play list and I frequently listen to it from start to finish. I hope that Tim get's better. It's Happy/Sad to watch him fight for his fans in his Zoom video's. Lot's of Respect for his strength and determination.
I am middle-aged, and today, this video, is my first exposure to Rocky Horror Picture Show. I lived in New York City all my life and I had never known what it even was; I thought it was like, Saturday Night Live or something. Thanks, YT algorithm... I was simply searching for Tim Curry singing Toxic Love in Fern Gully. My first thought? Damn, I knew he had a charming villain-coded voice but I had no idea Tim Curry was this hot. I had to become middle-aged to be knowledgeable and self-secure enough to appreciate this to the fullest, with all of its psychosexual, artistic, and sociocultural connotations. Had I seen this when I was 20, before I got to know gay people and before I became wiser, it would have turned me away as more off-putting American grossness (I was an immigrant kid). Gotta watch this again... Waitasec, those red lips on the cover are his! Are they?! When I was little I had always wondered which actress that came from.
Lol, Tim Curry was absolute perfection in these roles! Dr. Frank-N-Furter, The Darkness (Legend), and, of course, Pennywise the Clown (Stephen King's "It") were personal favorites. Any role he played, he was stellar.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show was banned in South Africa, but my parents managed to get the LP album... my young friends were so jealous! I eventually saw the movie in the 1990s when it was unbanned.
Tim Curry definitely made that movie happen I love the fact that Riff Raff AKA Richard O'Brien was one of the writers producers creators and just kind of takes a back seat to a lot of it but he holds it together in the background what a genius show
Few actors have ever singed a screen in a first starring role like Tim Curry. If Oscars actually had any credibility, Curry would have won handily. He is completely committed and iconic.
I love Tim Curry. Saw a rare clip of him in the play Pirates of Penzance as the Pirate King. He was so fine. Love his voice. He has never been recognized for anything other than RHPS.
I was with a friend in the Navy visiting a seaside town when we came across an old theater hosting this movie. We thought the title interesting and decided to see. Little did I know what I was in for. It was a rowdy blast as fans stood and jumped out onto the aisles with outfits and danced. It was both a blast and shocking cuz I was only 20 and had never heard of nor let alone scene a man dressed as Tim in person in aisles as well. I'll never forget this moment.
When I was about 17 years old my aunt Kathy would sing most of the songs from Rocky Horror Picture Show so I went crazy when it came out on DVD I watched over and over learning the words then when I had my first son I got him hooked on watching and yes we did the time wrap
So many of us came out thanks to this film. My nephew came out to me at 16. I took him to see it and he was never the same after that. He ended up playing Brad at a theatre. How's that for power.
The best cult and musical film of all time It has it all - Tim Curry not breaking the 4th wall but throwing water at the camera, the finest song in the film, a superb cast,lyrics and most of all it is as good today as it was back in the 1970s
I saw Rocky Horror at the "812 Theater" on Cannery Row, Monterey, CA in the late 70's about 6-7 times with my group (4 guys and 3-4 girls). At the 812, there were no proper seats, only big foamy pillows on an open floor. They'd show "Rocky Horror" on Saturday nights and, we got in the habit in the summer of '79. One night all the power went out on the Monterey Peninsula, including the theater. Given that many people had matches and candles on hand, the theater lit up dimly. Then people who were dressed up in character went foraward and continued where the movie left off. Never forgot that.
When I was little I obviously couldn’t watch this film but now that I’m older my parents let me watch movies like this and I love it ❤ my mother grew up catholic and my dad is a baptists pastor but they never discouraged a good movie as long as I was mature about it
@@dominikweber4305 I got the wrong end of the stick! The water thrown, would of been planned, ckear perspex would of been used. I thought that Tim Curry looking in to the camera, (which was improvised) knowing that the audience, at the cinema (at the time) were there, along fier the ride, eith Brad and Janet.
@@AReallyLongAndUnremakableUser oh, that makes sense! Of course looking directly at the camera also breaks the fourth wall, i just naturally thought of the more extreme example
This was released the same year I was born. I watched this for the first time mid 80's. The more I watched it over the years (in the hundreds now), the more I realized how magnificent Tim is as Frank. Tim is wonderful as Frank. I like him just as much in the movie Clue. He makes that movie like what he did for Rocky.
I remember my conservative dad telling me how Tim Curry is an idiot. Now I understand. He’s just mad he can’t rock pearls and fishnets like he can…
Never could get a satanic mechanic
who can?
To be fair, no one can rock them like he does
Saw this when it first came out. Frank N Furter still does it for me - I can never get enough of the moment he takes his cloak off !

Tim Curry was so good in this role. Performing it on Broadway made him hands down the only one to consider for it when it switched to film.
many of the actors are original musical actors
As a woman I'm seriously angry that Tim Curry looks better in lingerie and pearls than I ever could... Never mind his make-up skills. 😂💜

Tim Curry was a very attractive person. Attractive people always look better, no matter what.
@@marissashantez6051 don’t get me wrong, he is definitely physically attractive. But I think it’s the confidence and the charisma that draws you in.

She knows, you know!
There's no way this movie would be as popular as it is without Tim Curry
Agree
I think it's a mutual benefit for both. The movie is better with Tim Curry. And Tim Curry is just more badass for being in the movie.
He made everything magical.
Nonsense. There is no way to tell that at all, he could just as easily be the worst at it.
Tim Curry's subtle facial expressions and nuanced character expressions are absolutely masterful....it's like he was born to play Frankfurter.

Gotta watch this again... Waitasec, those red lips on the cover are his! Are they?! When I was little I had always wondered which actress that came from.
Lips belong to Patricia Quinn who played Magenta. Vocals by Richard O’Brien.
Lol, Tim Curry was absolute perfection in these roles! Dr. Frank-N-Furter, The Darkness (Legend), and, of course, Pennywise the Clown (Stephen King's "It") were personal favorites. Any role he played, he was stellar.
Tim Curry is simply amazing. A true one of a kind
I took a sexuality test. I'm FrankNFurtersexual
The confidence and sass he has walking in the those heels.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show was banned in South Africa, but my parents managed to get the LP album... my young friends were so jealous!
I eventually saw the movie in the 1990s when it was unbanned.
Tim Curry definitely made that movie happen I love the fact that Riff Raff AKA Richard O'Brien was one of the writers producers creators and just kind of takes a back seat to a lot of it but he holds it together in the background what a genius show
Few actors have ever singed a screen in a first starring role like Tim Curry. If Oscars actually had any credibility, Curry would have won handily. He is completely committed and iconic.
Tim curry scared the crap out of me as pennywise when I was a child. I would watch this to be less afraid of him. Epic performer.
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYTHING LIKE ROCKY HORROR. EVER.
I love Tim Curry. Saw a rare clip of him in the play Pirates of Penzance as the Pirate King. He was so fine. Love his voice. He has never been recognized for anything other than RHPS.
A lot of people know him from the IT tv series where he played pennywise
@@agyk.5589 Yeah he was great in that as well, pennywise definitely helped him with roles in the future of his career
a lot of people also know him from IT, clue, home alone, annie, adams family, and muppet treasure island lol
Maybe the greatest character entrance ever filmed.
I was with a friend in the Navy visiting a seaside town when we came across an old theater hosting this movie. We thought the title interesting and decided to see. Little did I know what I was in for. It was a rowdy blast as fans stood and jumped out onto the aisles with outfits and danced. It was both a blast and shocking cuz I was only 20 and had never heard of nor let alone scene a man dressed as Tim in person in aisles as well. I'll never forget this moment.
Taking my daughter to see Rocky for the first time this month. Astounds that it's still making the rounds at theatres all these years later.
When I was about 17 years old my aunt Kathy would sing most of the songs from Rocky Horror Picture Show so I went crazy when it came out on DVD I watched over and over learning the words then when I had my first son I got him hooked on watching and yes we did the time wrap
Time Warp.
So many of us came out thanks to this film. My nephew came out to me at 16. I took him to see it and he was never the same after that. He ended up playing Brad at a theatre. How's that for power.
The best cult and musical film of all time It has it all - Tim Curry not breaking the 4th wall but throwing water at the camera, the finest song in the film, a superb cast,lyrics and most of all it is as good today as it was back in the 1970s
Every man secretly wants to dress and act like Fankenfurter, if they say they don't, they definitely have the outfit and make up at home.😂
Finding out about this movie was such a treat. Tim curry’s performance is amazing and hilarious.
no one can really beat Tim curry! loved this film since i was young
letting them anticipate the word anticipation is so genius
When he stares dead into the camera on "How bout that"...
thing is.;. brad was right about the "foreigner" part
Never ever, ever, ever get tired of this show!
I saw Rocky Horror at the "812 Theater" on Cannery Row, Monterey, CA in the late 70's about 6-7 times with my group (4 guys and 3-4 girls). At the 812, there were no proper seats, only big foamy pillows on an open floor. They'd show "Rocky Horror" on Saturday nights and, we got in the habit in the summer of '79. One night all the power went out on the Monterey Peninsula, including the theater. Given that many people had matches and candles on hand, the theater lit up dimly. Then people who were dressed up in character went foraward and continued where the movie left off. Never forgot that.
Thats so coool 0.0
No one in the history of film ever had a more confident badass strut than Tim Curry
2:19 I love that complicit gesture between Tim and Nell, you can see the good vibes between fellow actors
Funny how I can go years without hearing one of these songs but when I do I remember every word.
I literally have no choice but to belt it out 😂
BUT MAYBE THE RAIN!!!
When I was little I obviously couldn’t watch this film but now that I’m older my parents let me watch movies like this and I love it ❤ my mother grew up catholic and my dad is a baptists pastor but they never discouraged a good movie as long as I was mature about it
I must have seen this movie 70 times when we were teenagers at the midnight show. Crazy, fun times!
That fucking voice holy shit
Such a classic ! Saw it so many times on SUNSET BLVD in the 70's at the theater where audience participation was the draw! So much fun !
That’s the time and where I saw it, too…at the Cinerama Dome.
“i’ll remove the cause but not the symptom” is a brilliant line
This still brings my 17-year-old heart joy after 45 some years.
Oh bless Tim curry. Have followed you for years. You are my hero. Wishing you the best of health. Love from. 🇦🇺
Can't believe how popular this film still is after all these years still great 👍
Talented beyond measure compared to today’s actors.
1:50 That look Tim Curry gave Barry Boswick took me out!!!😂🤣
I love the moment when Frank breaks the "fourth wall".
Tim wasn't prompted to do this, by the director, he just did it on his own....
Genius.
@@AReallyLongAndUnremakableUser i kinda doubt that he poured water on expensive film equipment without telling anybody first
@@dominikweber4305 I got the wrong end of the stick!
The water thrown, would of been planned, ckear perspex would of been used.
I thought that Tim Curry looking in to the camera, (which was improvised) knowing that the audience, at the cinema (at the time) were there, along fier the ride, eith Brad and Janet.
@@AReallyLongAndUnremakableUser oh, that makes sense! Of course looking directly at the camera also breaks the fourth wall, i just naturally thought of the more extreme example
Tim Curry at his sexist! Woo Woo.
Side note: 2 of my chickens are named Brad and Janet.
I first saw this when I was 14 my older sisters took me. I thought it was so cool to be at the movies at midnight. 27 years later and I still love it.
As a GenZ growing in a Millenial household, I love this musical piece ❤ gotta be one of my favorites for classics.
This man looks better in heels than most people, including me ❤
This was released the same year I was born. I watched this for the first time mid 80's. The more I watched it over the years (in the hundreds now), the more I realized how magnificent Tim is as Frank. Tim is wonderful as Frank. I like him just as much in the movie Clue. He makes that movie like what he did for Rocky.
Tim Curry, your prowess will never be repeats. Such a master.
This is one of my favorite movies. It doesn't matter how many times you see it it's still a classic. I love Tim Curry.
