Taken from Wikipedia, as i couldnt be bothered writting my own My thoughts are a little ... dissonant this evening.
Shock Treatment is a 1981 comedy-musical and a follow up to the film The Rocky Horror Picture Show. While not an outright sequel, the movie does feature several characters from the movie portrayed by different actors and several Rocky Horror actors portraying new characters.
Continuing from The Rocky Horror Picture Show are the characters of Brad and Janet Majors, now married.
The film takes place in the fictional town of Denton USA, which has been taken over by fast food magnate Farley Flavors.
Brad (Cliff De Young) and Janet (Jessica Harper) are picked out of the audience by the "blind host" (Barry Humphries) to participate in the game show "Marriage Maze"The town of Denton is entirely encased within a television studio for network DTV (Denton Television). Residents are either stars and regulars on a show, cast and crew, or audience members. Brad and Janet, while seated in the audience are chosen to participate in the game show Marriage Maze, by the blind and kooky host Bert Schnick (Barry Humphries). As a "prize", Brad is imprisoned on Dentonvale, a soap opera that centers around the local mental hospital run by brother and sister Cosmo and Nation McKinley (Richard O'Brien and Patricia Quinn).
Janet is given a taste of show-biz as Farley Flavors molds her into a singing diva superstar in an attempt to take her away from Brad. Her compliance is assured through the use of drugs supplied by the McKinleys.
Betty Hapschatt (Ruby Wax) and Judge Oliver Wright (Charles Gray) investigate Farley and other people involved in DTV, eventually discovering that Cosmo and Nation are not doctors, but merely character actors, and Farley Flavors is Brad's jealous, long-lost twin brother, seeking to destroy Brad and take Janet for himself

And, to make this a discussion thread, Why dont we Discuss our favourite piece of the plot?
This isnt the usual "what is your Favourite...?" Question. Nor is this your Average plot.
So, discuss your favourite part of the movie, or the part that you like best!
Or, maybe even the part you dislike the most! Coz they tend to stick out mentaly, rather than the bits that you liked.

My favorite part of the film would have to be... during the song Me of Me, when you see Bert and Cosmo dancing. It's so priceless. xd

DrCosmoMcKinley My favorite part of the film would have to be... during the song Me of Me, when you see Bert and Cosmo dancing. It's so priceless. xd LMAO, that's one of mine as well. Me and my brother rewind that scene and play it over and over *wiggles arms Cosmo style* xD My other favourite scenes are this:  *muchos drooling* Also when Ansalong is giving Brad medicine, and the scenes during Farley's Song, Lullaby, and Look What I did to my Id. (Ok, practically all the Ansalong scenes...x_x)
