Trivia
According to interviews, Patricia Quinn only took a role in the play because she loved the opening song "Science Fiction - Double Feature". She was upset when she didn't get to sing the song in this movie, but agreed to lip-sync the words as the pair of red lips in the beginning, with vocals by Richard O'Brien.

Goofs
When Janet and Brad are scuttling off to the side of the stage at the end of 'Wild and Untamed Thing', she accidentally stabs his foot with her high heel, causing him to wince and stumble in pain.

Quotes
[last lines]
The Criminologist - An Expert: And crawling on the planet's face, some insects, called the human race... lost in time... and lost in space... and meaning.

Crazy credits
At the very end of the film, The credits read: "The characters portrayed in this film are ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS and bear no resemblance to anyone living OR DEAD!"

Alternate versions
The DVD contains a 'Conceptual Version' which has everything up to "The Time Warp" in black and white, included as an 'Easter Egg'.

'Foreigners with ways different to our own'...

Dissect, disassemble and reassemble to your hearts content, conjure any number of meanings and misinterpretations, then rewind, warp back in time, remove head from derriere and wallow in this absolute pleasure again and again and again.
