featuring Staz Nair as Rocky

[@IfIHadMyTimeAgain]

I will say, I like the addition of him realistically stumbling around as he’s getting used to new legs

[@LucyLovettLestrange]

Joe S Like a newborn learning to walk!

[@crackedcontent1846]

@@LucyLovettLestrange This song is basically what a newborn would sing if they had the adult capacity to think. It involves a lot of "wtf is this", "its cold", "everything is terrifying, what have I come out into?!"

[@LucyLovettLestrange]

Cracked Content Agreed!

[@LucyLovettLestrange]

I like how he stumbles around and acts kind of frightened and overwhelmed as if he truly doesn't know what to think

[@IDKwhoIamEither]

okay, we can all agree the original is iconic, but this is damn good as well

[@mspcrybaby2445]

I love both Rocky’s equally now after seeing this, like just look at how he stumbles because he was just born! ✨😁

If Laverne Cox can pull off the “pterodactyl screech” as well as Tim Curry could I don’t regret clicking this video

I do love the original, and this one is certainly good. I especially love Staz’s singing for this, it helps tie the rest of the vocals and music together. It’s hard to decide which one I like better, so I’m going to have to say that I love both the original and the remake equally.

[@TheGenomario]

I agree with you on that

[@Callum07]

@Blair Bart While I won’t debate your opinion on which is better, I will however correct you and say that this *is* a remake. The original is the movie with Tim Curry in it as Dr. Frank ‘n’ Furter. He plays the Narrator in this version. Even that movie was a film adaptation of a theatre production of the same name with almost, if not all of the original cast from said shows.

[@Callum07]

@Blair Bart your word is certainly not law, because you’re on the internet. Everyone’s voice is heard here. However, I didn’t know that Kenny Ortega and the people at Fox had called it a tribute. If they want to call it that, they can, no-one’s stopping them, and certainly not me. A note for the future, perhaps: instead of trying to lord over someone over the internet by replying to an old KZbin comment, maybe politely correct them and explain it in the first reply. You’ll earn more respect from the person you’re replying to.

[@LucyLovettLestrange]

Guys got a hot singing voice!

[@DontDoSadness91]

Too pop. But I love the stumbling and his voice is incredible. He'd make a good Rocky in a production.

[@popflicktionedits3256]

At least Rocky’s still unimaginably cute and hot

[@jamesjack38]

I love this rocky so much

[@mackenzihobbs2299]

One of my fav songs from the movieee

[@tmc3567]

I like the stage directions for this version. 😆

[@ericsantana1184]

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is one of my favorite movies I have loved ever since I was in college.

[@LucyLovettLestrange]

At my college every year we do the participation script as well as kids will act it out !

[@vicentehizon6202]

Why are you complaining, Rocky? You’re instantly born handsome and with a superstar voice.

[@xmoore5659]

It's supposed to be inexplicable foreshadowing. Rocky somehow knows Frank is going to bang him, causing Riff-Raff and Magenta to become Jealous, torture him, and cause the events that lead to his eventual demise after just 8 hours.

[@aneshiam]

Amazing voice it’s so sexy like his character is supposed to be also he’s so innocent and scared and really shows that very well with a Frankenstein take, he has to get used to his legs and he has people chasing him and touching him so the actor in my opinion does an absolutely amazing job at this. With the remake was more popular :)

[@castrange]

i had doubts about this when it came out but i ended up loving it. A lot of things wrong with it but that dosnt outweigh the things I’m,ikes about it. Of course I like the original better but I can appreciate this.

[@ericsantana1184]

Rocky is practically a baby Frankenstein monster. And he only died at 7 hours old.

The Sword of Damocles is hangin' over my head And I've got the feelin' someone's gonna be cuttin' the thread Oh! Woe is me! My life is a misery Oh! And can't you see That I'm at the start of a pretty big downer. I woke up this mornin' with a start when I fell out of bed (that ain't no crime) And left from my dream it was a feelin' of un-nameable dread (that ain't no crime) My high is low, I'm dressed up with no place to go! And all I know Is I'm at the start of a pretty big downer. Sha la la la that ain't no crime Sha la la la that ain't no crime Sha la la la that ain't no crime that ain't no... CRIME!

[@The_Unknown_Mister_E]

Well really. XD

[@slayerwytch2032]

Give me the 70s version any day...

[@stravadi548]

I think both versions have their charms. But some characters have better actors in the 2016 version.

[@LucyLovettLestrange]

Celestia Angel The 70's version set the standards I guess

[@nanjobissness4360]

Honestly like both but i think while this one has the budget to go all out...the 70's one has a young Tim Curry running around in highheels

[@tabibutler4444]

This version is just too clean and “nice”. Every song is pitch corrected and filled with lovely Disney-type backing band to make it sound pretty and acceptable and all the cast are pretty and very acceptable which goes against the whole point of the film! The whole thing about rocky horror is that it says you have a right to feel beautiful and accepted even if you’re not pretty or straight or any of those things that society isn’t fond of and this version just kicks that out of the window for something that looks and sounds appealing to everyone.

[@affigueiredo74]

This remake is so bad.🤮

[@AnimeLover-yz5uo]

I think a lot of the original Tim Curry movie’s songs can be argued as better but this song in this one is better than the original in my opinion

[@FLonYT326]

in 2016 Staz Nair (as Rocky) was pretending to get used to new legs Edit: Like LucyLovettLestrange said, like a newborn learning to walk

[@leanrivadero4300]

Im in love of him i love it

[@kailaganzon3553]

Ok I don’t like the fox version, BUT i have to say, that I do like this Rocky a bit better than the og, I think he’s better updated for modern standards of beauty and HIS VOICE

[@gyobfan22]

After watching a minute of this video there is no way I'll ever watch this version. I thought it would be terrible when I heard it was going to be remade and watching this confirms it.

[@dimentioo]

no one gives a fuck lmao

[@rogerinataylor1225]

Agree, the whole movies seems more like giant music video than musical. I also don't understand the choice of casting transgender female for male role. It takes the whole meaning of "Sweet Transvestite" away.

[@hollow5600]

I love the original but this version of sword of domecles is pure epicness

[@loliloveyoustill]

Sha la la la that ain’t no crime!

[@ryanstauffer119]

While I didn't really like this remake, this was the best song from it. I actually like this version of the song better than the original.

[@faithharris7173]

They had so much potential here and blew it so bad

[@popflicktionedits3256]

I mean this Rocky’s slightly hotter

[@beetlejuice831]

'cause he doesn't look like a bleached blonde Frankenstein

[@611gay5]

The sword a damocles, the musical

[@wickedphant0m]

The fact that they put him in fucking gym shorts....

[@gorou2426]

*that ain't no crime*

[@adrianlee7123]

I'll be the one to say it, this one better than the original. The original was good and set the bar but this just surpassed it in every way it could. I watched both to make the comparison and OG Rocky was more direct, he was telling everyone how it felt being alive but with no emotion. This Rocky is showing them how he felt. his body language and how he was stumbling around, his facial expressions, you could see the fear in his face when he got back in the cooler. Even down to the singing, OG Rocky you could hear panic, and This Rocky his voice was good but it kept wavering like he still didn't know what he was doing. I could be getting too deep into it but like I gotta be thorough and back up my claim.

[@johnqsample5119]

My man Rocky on the ledge n shit

[@RaceWithDevil1]

Ma non scherziamo la canzone di Rocky e' tra le più belle in assoluto dove i suoi no! Sono più empatici, bha fatta e cantata senza emozione.

[@popflicktionedits3256]

This is shot at a really weird frame rate

[@spipit2123]

The only problem woth this adaptation ,which was amazing, was that frank was a girl, as tim curry said" the whole joke was that frank liked men " (somewhere along those lines)

[@wizardjokes]

What is this aberration

[@TheDrayonborn]

2:08 those dancers tho

[@ericsantana1184]

The Rocky Horror Picture show should have the cast from Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

[@bestione666]

Just one question: WHY!? 🙈

[@greenesusanne27]

Anyone else just looking at Riff Raff(the person Franknfurter slaps)

[@TheItalianDramaKing]

I will honestly say I like this version better than the original. And I was a fan of the original way before this version. Its more true to the original staged play - very campy and colorful. Also with today's technology the production value and everyone's vocals are just much more up to par (in my opinion). Of course the original will always be a classic, no one is taking that away. But that doesn't mean this one doesn't beat it (in certain aspects).

[@fizbun5125]

Where’s the hot speedo disappointed 😩💔

[@mr_barlow]

They missed an opportunity, since 'Frank' is played leaning more feminine, 'Rocky' should've been cast as a woman.

[@tmc3567]

I don't think they wanted to deviate from the script. In this version Laverne is called "Master", when it should have been "Mistress".

[@ditto1051]

This whole thing was miscast.... Doesn't make any sense-FranknFurter should be in drag, so since he's played by a woman-should be wearing men's clothes. Then it follows that the creature should be a woman. Original male Frank makes a man. Remake, Frank is a woman and should make a woman. A hot patootie mess if you ask me!!

[@beetlejuice831]

Rocky being a half brain blonde would be terrible even for this movie's patterns

[@TruthDefined4life]

So THIS is the inspiration for Trump’s new shoes!

[@elihuvonseckendorff2094]
