She was upset when she didn't get to sing the song in this movie, but agreed to lip-sync the words as the pair of red lips in the beginning, with vocals by Richard O'Brien.
- GoofsWhen Janet and Brad are scuttling off to the side of the stage at the end of 'Wild and Untamed Thing', she accidentally stabs his foot with her high heel, causing him to wince and stumble in pain.

Featured review
The...
... quintessential pre-pop outrageous pop art rock opera freak show comedic hall of weirdos with a pumped-up 70s fragrance and sexual innuendo slide-show of parodic impossible-to-predict sci-fi implausible kind of impossibly over the top horror-meets-fantasy in a grotesquely but quite voluntary way of ridiculous and out-of-worldly piece of contemporary art-hinting quasy-minimalist semi-theatrical interpretation of an intentionally petty pulp-like quite erotic and kaleidoscopic, surprisingly accurate in trend prediction movie.
Quite remarkable.

And yes, I also typically hate such "original" adjective lists. But this is no typical movie. Please just dump my review if you don't think it's a good idea after all. Regardless of your decision, thank you for reading this!}
