Little Shop of Horrors Outtake Reel

Here is an outtakes reel for the 1986 film Little Shop of Horrors, directed by Frank Oz. Based on the 1986 off-Broadway musical of the same name, both feature script and lyrics by Howard Ashman and music by Alan Menken. Both, in turn, are based on the 1960 comedy horror film The Little Shop of Horrors, directed by Roger Corman and written by Charles B. Griffith.
Included on the film's DVD and Blu-ray releases under the title "Outtakes and Deleted Scenes," the reel does feature some footage from cut sequences from the film, primarily the original "proposal" scene as it was shot and the original ending.

I remember when this film came out the animatronics were so convincing and natural. Even today they stand up - actually I prefer them to modern CGI.

[@theatlascomplex2052]

Nothing computer generated today even compares to the Audrey II puppeteering in this film.

[@kirbystar6447]

They werent even amimatronics they were puppets controlled by like 10 people

[@felixthecat9787]

It will always hold up to cgi, the audrey 2 puppet actually feels like a part of things. I feel like you can try to add as much realistic cgi as possible but it always feels misplaced.

[@dadgumboi7495]

@@kirbystar6447 not to be one of those nerds but oh buddy, if you ever get to see clips of what it was like to puppeteer the final twoey, you wouldn't say 10 people. For the Mean Green Mother scene it took 51 puppeteers to bring the giant audrey 2 to life. They definitely weren't just simple animatronic puppets controlled by 1 or 2 people

Tichina Arnold saying "Merry Christmas" at the start of the take is so adorable.

[@mst3kanita]

I can’t believe they even filmed on Christmas Eve!

[@keybyss98]

Semi-unrelated: These outtake reels honestly look really good. Like, for a long time, I always thought (and still do, depending on the movie) 80’s movies had this gross and grimy look to it, like they were filmed in a serial killer’s basement or something. I have to wonder if the mediocre 2000’s DVD releases of these movies painted that perception, because the newer scans (plus what I’ve seen from actual 35mm screenings) look a lot better now tbh.

[@TigerTigerII]

Rick looks so smooth in those first few seconds :) Like he could honestly do the news and keep people's attention for at least an hour.

[@felixthecat9787]

Still obsessed with this film to this day, such talent and personally feel like it beats the more known ghost busters. The audrey 2 puppet still astounds me, and I’m glad it was made before everything turned into realistic cgi. Glad to see people remember this too

36 years later and the cliffhanger ending of the Audrey II bud in Seymour and Audrey’s yard hasn’t been solved.

[@BearManescalchi]

Solved by the original ending perhaps.

[@DanJackson1977]

Watch the directors cut ending.

[@hunterolaughlin]

@@DanJackson1977 I’ve already watched the Director’s Cut ending on KZbin a long time ago. A little too long and Paul Dooley is too out of place compared to the other celebrity cameos like John Candy, Bill Murray and Christopher Guest. James Belushi was much better as Patrick Martin. But I don’t hate the Director’s Cut ending. Just giving my own nitpicks.

[@revengeofbcraig5755]

Apparently they made a cartoon with a good Audrey II.

[@ghrasta.]

That’s how cliffhangers work

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

5:08, According to Frank Oz, this was actually from a longer version of the song "Meek Shall Inherit". It was shorten in the Final Cut of the film.

Yes, there is a longer version. But Frank Oz chose not to reinstate it when he did his director’s cut a few years back.

What a treat! Love this movie, love the original musical, too. They’re each different and charming in their own ways. Seeing these bloopers is marvelous and they’re so wholesome, honestly! No swearing like in so many bloopers I’ve seen for other films. Though it’s a comedy, these reels really capture the lighter side of what it must have been like to film such a creative and kooky masterpiece. Bravo!

[@jeffreyelya9996]

I'm trying to remember if the bloopers were included in the 2012 release of the movie. So grateful that Warner Bros. chose to include both the original version, along with the theatrical version. What's awkward about the 1986 film version is that the theatrical version doesn't have the original ending where everybody gets eaten. There's a long OOP DVD that's considered a collector's item now that has the original ending in black and white, but for whatever reason, the distributor chose to yank them off the shelves the day of the home video release. That would've been in the early 2000s, but I'm wondering how much they're going for on eBay.

[@egglady]

The Director’s Cut on the Blu-ray release is not quite the original version. For one thing, Frank Oz chose not to reinstate the full Meek Shall Inherit sequence. I’m sure he explained why but I can’t remember the reason - maybe he just didn’t like the footage. It’s also missing some other things. In the workprint, the axe scene is longer and the feeding of Orin to the plant is a little more graphic.
