Audio problem: During the "Shock Treatment" musical sequence, look carefully at Dr. Nation McKinley's (Patricia Quinn) lips at the end of her solo speaking part. She mouths words to the song, even though the only voice you hear is Dr. Cosmo McKinley's (Richard O'Brien).
Shock Treatment (1981)
1 audio problem
Directed by: Jim Sharman
Starring: Cliff De Young, Jessica Harper, Richard O'Brien, Patricia Quinn
Other mistake: During the 'Little Black Dress' number, look carefully at Cosmo's plans for the dress, they read 'The Brad and Janet Show' as this was to be the original title of the film. It doesn't really fit for Shock Treatment because the show being planned is only Janet, Brad is locked in a cage.
'Rest Home' Ricky: Legs like mine were meant for dancin'. Oh, look what I did to my Id.
Trivia: When Betty and Ollie are talking in their office (and Ralph and Macy come in), look carefully at the table all the way to the left. There's an issue of Time Magazine that says "Cult Classics," with a picture of The Rocky Horror Picture Show's famous red lips. (That film was the predecessor to Shock Treatment).
