Mean Green Mother From Outer Space - Little Shop of Horrors

Audrey II sings to seymour about its plans for world domination.

[@TranscendentLion]

Only Audrey II is awesome enough to be able to harmonise with itself.

[@DodaDox]

Zoidberg from futurama can too.

[@knucklesfan8]

This song alone makes the movie worth watching.

[@Silverserri]

That and Audrey II's "...oh SHIT!" at the end. XD

[@DeuceyDee]

Audrey II is a great villain. The whole time, he made it seem like Seymour was in control of the situation, and that he was simply working wonders for him. In truth, Audrey II was manipulating Seymour, and stirring up chaos for kicks while bringing his evil plan into fruition. Seymour doesn't realize this until the end, when everything has just about fallen into place. When he confronts Audrey II, the plant suddenly lashes out with all the power that Seymour had unknowingly given him.

[@xemopengyx]

Levi Stubbs has an amazing voice. They didn't give him enough credit in this.

[@someguy5988]

How this movie only has a 6 on IMDB is one of life's greatest mysteries.

[@kallistiX1]

They changed the ending. The original ending would have made this comedy classic.

@@gasterthemaster6490 No, this was part of the original for the most part. In fact, most of this scene was used from the original. Except Audrey died in the alley and the plant eats Seymour.

[@gasterthemaster6490]

@@kallistiX1 pointless doesn't mean that it wasn't there. I meant to say that DFTP was there as a villain song, so this one is kinda pointless in the context of that ending

That plant is one hell of a puppet. Leave it to Frank Oz to make it work.

[@DreamDancer82]

Considering Frank Oz once worked with a puppet master for 30 years, definitely.

[@devinfaux6987]

The puppet was moving a lot slower IRL; they sped the footage up to double the speed it was filmed at to get it right. Which meant Rick Moranis also had to do all his lines and movements at half-speed, then dub his lines back over. Goes to show how good he was too.

Wow, today's CGI orcs an whatnot don't look nearly as real as this plant.

[@ricksimons9144]

have you even seen the 2014 godzilla movie yet?

[@larrywolf2509]

It's true. When you use good animatronics and puppetry, you have a real physical object with real lighting and physics. Even the best of CGI never gets everything right and your brain picks up on even the most subtle fuckups it's seeing.

[@byrn]

Larry Wolf Yup. They've yet to develop a true 'Reality Filter' lol. :)

[@anonymousgoblin792]

rick simons Yes and this the plant still looks better.

[@CloverNoodle]

"Nooooooooo... SHIT, Sherlock" is now one of my favorite movie lines of all time. Also, I used to hate this movie 'cause of the depressing ending of the play, but I grew up, and now I LOVE it. Audrey II is the best ass-kicking man-eating super alien plant with a sense of humor ANYWAY. Oh, and I can't really tell if this is CGI or not. It looks like CGI, but somehow... it doesn't at the same time. If there's no CGI, this movies effects are incredible. Twoie's lips move PERFECTLY in-sync.

[@bendycactus1]

really late, but if you didn't find it out. Its a puppet from Jim Henson's Puppet Shop.

[@cazia9]

They filmed at 1/4 normal film speed to accommodate all the puppetry work which meant Rick Moranis was acting in slow motion so when the film was played at regular speed they would look synchronized

[@Mysterygirl-wy1ix]

[@AldenRDavis]

4:09 - “Bye-bye, Seymour!”

[@ayokay123]

[@TehLazyOne]

the puppeteer work in this film was phenomenal...

[@tonyparra8459]

After a few times Seymour tried to kill the plant, he finally succeeded by grabbing a broken electrical cord "This is the last straw, you're finished".

[@CloverNoodle]

Ya know what? Scratch that question. I just found out the answer. They used 60 technitians to operate this 1-ton puppet, and sometimes they changed the framerate to 16 FPS. Amazing. This whole movie, especially Audrey II, is frickin' amazing.

[@thedarknight307]

[@andreapatane4204]

I added this song from this movie into some playlists that I made on Spotify which are both called, “Outer space songs” and “Outer space melodies.”

[@ShadowOfTheVoid]

Which is ironic because animatronics and other practical effects usually age much, much better than CGI, which can easily look dated quickly. Yoda is a notable example. The puppet used in the 80s still holds up well three decades later. The CGI Yoda from Episodes II & III, not so much. That's why CGI should be used sparingly and only when necessary, especially if you're creating creatures, and should be of high enough quality to where it'll hold up decades from now (e.g., Jurassic Park).

[@qmchale5130]

+Cra Cra Mkk True, Audrey deserved a whole lot better. She was always getting beat on by her abusive dentist boyfriend, so you'd think that she'd get a happier ending than being plant food. By extension, they ended up making Seymour likable, too, so you had to root for him, then you were crushed when Seymour failed.

[@Genogenesis7]

Fact: In the original ending, Seymour actually fires the gun at Audrey II and the bullets riccochet off him. Why they cut this out of the finished version is not entirely clear, but it might've been to make Audrey II seem less "invincible". However, that does mean that in the original version, even MORE shots were originally fired from the revolver, making it even MORE overfired. *Anime Teardrop*

I was thinking the same thing. And think of poor Audrey. She had to witness the whole thing. Luckily, they can adopt. Audrey probably would prefer that anyway. She would stop other kids from living the poor, skid row, life she had to live. And they would show their kids how not to treat others.
