History Awesome / TheRockyHorrorPictureShow

* Rocky carrying Frank up the RKO tower as anti-matter beams keep bouncing off him.

** Another Behind the Scenes [=CMOA=] for Meat Loaf: during rehearsal, Meat Loaf rehearsed his music before getting the entire script, meaning he'd have limited contact with the rest of the cast, but when he saw Tim Curry for the first time, dressed in his fishnets and high heels, he nearly walked from the show (only to be stopped by a police officer for jaywalking while running away from the theater). He was convinced to come back, only to learn that since he was doubling as Dr. Scott, he'd have to wear fishnets and lingerie for The Floor Show. On opening night, Meat Loaf buckled down and tried to perform the scene, but when he finally got the part where he removes Dr. Scott's blanket to reveal the fishnets, it got the single biggest laugh of the night. Being the jokester he was, Meat Loaf decided to have fun with it, milking the scene for all its worth, even getting the unbreakable Tim Curry to [[{{Corpsing}} start laughing]]. In future performances, Meat Loaf continued using this moment to get the biggest laugh of the night, and the laughs would go on so long, Tim Curry would have to ad lib until the laughter finally died down.

* Rocky Horror is known for it's midnight showings, with numerous audience in-jokes and callbacks. Fox went the extra mile with that very aspect... and added a framing device of a literal late night showing.
* Adam Lambert nearly matches Music/MeatLoaf's iconic performance as "Eddie", and does a pretty epic rendition of "Hot Patootie".

* Creator/TimCurry briefly reprised his role as Frank N Furter for a short theater skit. Needless to say, the crowd went wild when he did the famous "Antici........(SAY IT!)....pation" line.

* Riff Raff starting the main theme of "Time Warp." It's genuinely shocking every time when Richard O'Brien instantly changes from his "Igor" voice used in the song's introduction to full heavy metal screaming.

For the 2016 remake:

* Riff Raff starting the main theme of "Timewarp." It's genuinely shocking every time when Richard O'Brien instantly changes from his "Igor" voice used in the song's introduction to full heavy metal screaming.

** Behind the Scenes awesome on this one, too. O'Brien brought out the music and handed it to Music/MeatLoaf, saying "It's okay to flub a few lines. No one in the London cast has ever sung the whole thing correctly anyway." [=MeatLoaf=] looks at it, says "What's the problem?" and starts singing the whole thing without skipping a beat. Seems Riff Raff is no match for Music/JimSteinman.

* An in-movie example would be Columbia's truly epic verbally berating Frank for being such a heartless jerk. It doesn't end well for her but...damn!
