I don't mean Jack Black has swapped a baggy teal T-shirt for corset and suspenders, or that Jason Momoa has traded tight denim jeans for golden hotpants, although what a film that would be. It wasn't until audiences took it upon themselves to invent call-back lines and come wearing costumes to Rocky Horror showings, and until they started throwing confetti and rice at specific moments, that it took off. Jack Black stomps around and sings catchy songs and Jason Momoa gives a kind of nerdy Machy Man Randy Savage performance with tassels, tight jeans and a deep growl.
