** She looks genuinely distraught after Frank [[spoiler: hacks away Eddie.]]

* For some it's [[spoiler:Frank's death.]]

* Brad's ultimate state at the end, if the film is taken as a standalone work. It's clear that the Transylvanian lifestyle is just not for him, and he ends the story broken and feeling violated by the experience, with the added issue of his fiancé going hard the other way, embracing it and craving more. That's a pretty wide wedge that will be between them now. While the film doesn't condemn the lifestyle, it does show how it can be wrong for some people, and Brad is going to have some trouble getting over it...
* If one takes the sequel scripts (''Film/ShockTreatment'' notwithstanding) into consideration, the entire ordeal will ultimately destroy not only Brad and Janet's relationship but also their lives, in Brad's case his (indirect) death and in Janet's [[spoiler: having to give birth to Frank's equally sociopathic son and ''becoming sexually involved with him''.]] It also takes what was said above about a sexually-liberated lifestyle potentially ruining someone and brings it beyond the extreme, and it's rather depressing.
** On the bright side, those scripts were never made into movies or other media and "Shock Treatment" isn't considered fully-canon or even a full sequel. Thus, if one would prefer Brad and Janet's relationship can still survive and their lives not ruined... and although Brad had misgivings, even he wasn't completely turned off by sexual freedom. Besides, to have things end up so terrible for Brad & Janet would just come off as sex-negative and pretty much the opposite of why people love "Rocky Horror" and it just leaves a pall over an otherwise fun movie. Brad & Janet will get through this with ThePowerOfLove... an adorkably awkward loving couple who are now more "relaxed" and open to stuff like polyamory and open marriages... or at least having an adventurous sex life!

* The final monologue from The Criminologist. It gets sadder hearing Tim Curry narrate it in the remake.

* The final monologue from The Criminologist.

* After Rocky and Frank fall into the pool, Magenta turns to Riff Raff,saying "I thought you liked them! They liked you.." to which he screams "THEY DIDN'T LIKE ME! They never liked me!" At first most find this outburst as funny, until Riff Raff turns back towards the screen and you can see a tear rolling down his cheek.

** Enough so that "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM3JpXZXwMo Bedroom Scenes]]," a Rocky fan-film, devoted more than half of its twenty-minute length to just letting Columbia speak for herself, for once. (The rest of the time is devoted to letting Magenta speak, period.)
