Stanley Bielecki Movie Collection/Getty When it came to being on set, costarBarry Bostwick, 80, recalled, "I was wet and miserable most of the time." "But I remember the whole experience being fun!" Sarandon added. "There was something about not having money. It was so humble and it added to the edginess of it because it kept the style of what the theater represented." Their costarTim Curry, 79, concurred. As he shared in the doc, "At the time, we were still so astonished to be filming it at all. But I loved every minute of it." 20th Century Fox/Shutterstock Joel Thurm, the casting director, noted, "There are elements of the film that sometimes it's like a B movie and that's deliberate. For instance, the special effects people were shocked when I said, 'No the special effects are too good. They've got to be really bad.' " He added, "Some people think it's bad filmmaking but it's really deliberate." "Many things that people took to be errors, they were part of subverting the form. But there there were other times because we were actually on a B picture budget, on a B picture schedule, it was genuinely a B picture," Thurm said. He slyly adds, "But I can't tell you which were which. I mean, life is full of contradictions and so isThe Rocky Horror Picture Show."
