Fame | "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"

Scene from the 1980 film Fame.

[@saturninhabitant]

A lot has changed since those RHPS screenings from the late 70's/early 80's as I see.

[@kristinafisher2555]

especially with COVID-19 and social distancing

[@b.d6642]

As soon as lockdown ends and theatres will be able to recover I'll go straight to an rhps screening it's my dream, I've never been to one

[@lilliaspiro1929]

I am the Magenta on the stage in this part of the film!

[@davidfarrow1795]

+Lillias Piro Wow. Were you a RHPS fan in real life?

[@lilliaspiro1929]

My brother is Sal Piro who is responsible for the cult classic! Google him! He's written 3 books on Rocky! He's also in this movie Fame as himself! They came to the 8th street Playhouse to film us doing Rocky!

[@davidfarrow1795]

+Lillias Piro So most of the people in the audience in this scene are genuine RPHS fans rather than professional extras?

[@lilliaspiro1929]

Yes David farrow! The director came to our theatre and wrote Rocky Horror in to the movie so his character Doris had a way to break out and perform!

[@13penguinsdie]

+Lillias Piro this is amazing I remember watching fame but not knowing this phenomenon was a thing. I always wondered if they use an actual rocky cast for this scene 😍😍😍

[@tubeboob]

This was my first exposure to Rocky Horror around 1982 on HBO at 13, having no idea the role it would play for me and the rest of us, the "kick the tire" line has been in my head a while now from this film and I needed to find the scene 🤓🌈💐🦄

1981... THIS WAS ME AND MY THESPIAN CLASS! A trip to New York, led us to a night at the 8th Street Playhouse to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show! Most of us were well into our 100's of times of seeing it and came prepared! Lol! Except for the cast of Fame, we were with these people who made the Rocky Horror the Cult Classic it was! What a great night and trip, but what a great decade to grow up in! From a Flower Child, 70's Classic Rocker, to an 80's Punk Rocker! Talk about a Time Warp!!! 😂😂😂

As she got her Coming-Out as a real Rocky Horror-Fan and presented the auditorium her breasts, this jewish fried fish!!! Fame ( among others: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmLbgGqIrLmJas0 ) is and was such a great movie, even the divine Irene Cara from Puerto Rico kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zqa1dqyVfc2hrJY ( Vaya con dios)!!! Greetings from Germany, Hesse!

[@jtoland2333]

Wow. What a great memory! 👍

[@lillyf973]

When a crowd sings time warp it sounds like a cult. But tbh this seems like the only cult I'd be willing to participate in😅

[@jackal59]

Matt Baum says that _The Rocky Horror Picture Show_ was "Mass for theater kids."

[@chrisjohnston4445]

The carrot-top at 2:40 would later dissolve in toxic waste in _RoboCop,_ and get hit by a falling helicopter on _ER._

[@b.d6642]

Wow, did he at least play a major role in this show?

[@helainespitzer1380]

8th St Playhouse was my old stomping grounds in the 80s

[@jtoland2333]

It's such a shame that the Fame remake lost the grit that the original had. Instead of the Time Warp, they focused on.....Sesame Street.

3:00 I like how Ralph sorta mocks her here lol

[@MnMsandOreos]

Same!!!

[@nanduarte2119]

I saw it in the 70's

[@michaelhenderson5946]

Is that actress Meg Tilly at 1:06?

[@BAP30]

Does anyone know if dancer/actor Tony Fields is in this scene? Is he the guy that has on the long coat and big pearl necklace? I read that he is in the movie but uncredited. He also can be seen behind Barry Miller out of focus though?

[@lucianac4388]

Esse o cinema que eu fui em NY, no Chelsea. Meia noite a sessão. Tava bem vazio porque não são mais os anos 70/80 mas tinha outros freaks como eu. Levei pipoca e dormi no meio porque estava morta de sono. E comi uma fatia de pizza de 1,99 antes de pegar o metrô e voltar para o hostel. Sozinha sim, eu sempre vou sozinha a NY então faço o que me dá na telha Porém se vc quisesse, eu convidaria vc para ir comigo mesmo que chegando lá vc desmaiasse por causa da energia de cidade grande. Mas tlvz vc ia gostar porque é a cidade dos MIB e do Homem Aranha e do bobalhão do Tony Stark tb. Bobalhão sim 😛😛😛😛😛😛

[@rogueryder3285]

I wonder how many times they saw this movie?

[@enigmag9538]

The redhead was in the movie Grease 2 I think.

Anyone know the season/episode of Fame this is?

[@saturninhabitant]

This is the movie. Not the TV show.

The reaction shot at kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4WWqKWYhNdpbtksi=ohdzMlTaznD8p_p-&t=30 is perfect. If this movie did nothing else, it captured this.

[@ChristopherJamesNeff]

I despise audience participation with a passion, and I'm not interested in wasting two hours of my life not to mention, my money, just to watch a bunch of gays and drags perform what they try to pass off as "art".

[@nextgentacos123]

Skill issue

[@ChristopherJamesNeff]

Skill issue to not like audience participation and gay shit? Not everyone likes what you like bud. Deal with it.

So, you sit at home and wait for somebody, _anybody_ , to swipe right on your Grindr profile, which features you in yellowing lace panties with loose elastic and a skid mark.
