"Special Thanks" are given to Paul Dooley, because his scenes as Patrick Martin were cut and re-cast with Jim Belushi. Dooley's scenes are restored for the Director's cut, and consequently Belushi gets the "Special Thanks" instead. See more »
Alternate Versions
In 2012, after locating and restoring the original color negatives, Warner Bros. released "The Director's Cut" of the film on Blu-Ray and DVD. It features a new cut of the original ending in color, and with newly created sound effects, finished special effects, and refined music. Though close to the original edit, a few of Seymour's lines of dialog had been cut. See more »
It IS a musical! This film has great music and dance tunes throughout! Rick Moranis is spot-on as the nerd who falls for the beautiful woman (who, of course, basically dismisses him). Along the way, he acquires a flesh-eating plant that loves people - the wrong way. The plant (Audrey 2 after Audrey, the love interest) also sings wonderfully and it makes for a great time! This one's a classic for sure!
