I was wondering if anyone here saw this lesser known semi-sequel to Rocky Horror? Failure or not, I think it deserves a place in the review section of this page.
A friend of mine who really liked ROCKY HORROR made me watch this. I don't remember much about it, except that I didn't like it too much and that the end song was kind of catchy.
I classify Shock Treatment as the worst musical of all time.
I already ranted about this once before, though:
Shock Treatment
I maybe in the minority here, but I absolutely love "Shock
Treatment". Granted, I didn't like it at first, because I was
expecting a movie like "Rhps", which its not. But it
really grew on me, and I think there is some really good satire
on tv culture, great cast, and good music. Considering all the
problems they had before and during production, it turned out
great. But to each his/her own. By the way, I think the worst
musical of all time is "Oklahoma", but I digress :)
Hello, anyone can tell you the worst musical of all ime is "The Pajama Game." Sure, it may not seem so bad to the untrained eye, but a loathing for the bad script and lack of plot will develop shortly after you join a production of it.
"Pajama Game" is below my musical radar. As R&H-styled musicals go, "State Fair" is a lot worse than "Oklahoma."
I maintain that "Shock Treatment" is utterly wretched, but then, there's a fan for every movie.
'Can't Stop The Music' comes in as a close second to 'Shock' on my list of bad musicals. It nearly destroyed the careers of everyone who participated -- including the Village People themselves. Bruce Jenner -- Steve 'Who made me a star?' Guttenberg, Valerie Perrine ... poor things.
There's something mystifying about 'Can't Stop' -- it's another one of those rare flicks that feels like an Indian trial of endurance. The musical numbers shave years off your life expectancy. But seeing the leatherman sing a sweet, lilting version of "Danny Boy" almost makes your suffering worthwhile. Except that the scene occurs halfway through the movie -- and you've another hour to go before the agony is over.
