Casting

Many Rocky Horror cast members returned for the film, most notably O'Brien, Patricia Quinn, Little Nell, and Charles Gray, but only Jeremy Newson reprised his role (as Ralph Hapschatt). Several of the film's original Transylvanians appeared in the movie; Ishaq Bux, Annabel Leventon, Gaye Brown, and Lindsay Ingram in the DTV audience, while Imogen Claire, Rufus Collins, and Pierre Bedenes were given the slightly larger parts of the Wardrobe Mistress and Neely's camera crew, respectively. Raynor Bourton, who originated the role of Rocky in the stage production, and Robert Longden, who took over the role of Riff Raff from Richard O’Brien in the same production, portrayed two of the soldiers in the DTV audience, and Chris Malcolm, who originated the role of Brad Majors on stage, was cast as Vance Parker, a local police officer. Additionally, Gary Martin, who played the titular character in a 1979 production of the show, portrayed a member of Oscar Drill and the Bits, a local band in Shock Treatment. Founder and long-time president of Rocky Horrorfan club, Sal Piro, also has a silent cameo appearance as the man using the payphone during the opening sequence.
