Riff Raff and Magenta turn on Frank N Furter and go back to their home planet of Transsexual (Riff, Magenta and Frank are all aliens). Columbia, Rocky Horror and Frank all die. Janet, Brad and Dr Scott are left, crawling on the ground where the castle used to be (Magenta & Riff Raff took the castle back with them). The Criminologist says something profound and the credits roll.

Continuity mistake: When Eddie escapes the deep freeze, he wears three rings on his left hand: his middle, ring and pinkie fingers. Bizarrely, the pinkie ring actually disappears in quite a few shots, including when Eddie plays the sax and when he lifts Columbia, just before they mess around on the floor. (00:42:30)
Trivia: The actor who plays Riff Raff (Richard O'Brien) wrote the original 'Rocky Horror' stage play. He also wrote the movie's sequel.
Question: One of my co-workers said the first line in the show was, "Michael Renee was sick the day the Earth stood still". Could you give me the exact first line and what it means?

Answer: The first line to the lyrics of 'Science Fiction/Double Feature' is "Michael Rennie was ill The Day the Earth Stood Still, but he told us where we stand." That line is a reference to the 1951 film classic 'The Day the Earth Stood Still', which stars Michael Rennie as Klaatu, the alien from outer-space, who is shot at the start of the film when he tries to convey a dire message of goodwill to the humans. The rest of the song lyrics refer to other science fiction films including 'The Invisible Man' starring Claude Rains, 'King Kong' starring Fay Wray, and 'Tarantula' starring Leo G. Carroll.
