Rick Moranis, Steve Martin, Ellen Green, Billy Murray and other comedy greats star. Review: Enjoyable Over And Over - Everything about this movie musical works! The casting is perfect, the plant looks and moves great, the songs are catchy and memorable AND I actually care about what happens to the characters. I know I've never mentioned that in my other reviews (maybe I have but I really can't remember right now) but, and maybe this has been said before, but me, as the viewer, invest a lot of emotion and care when I see all of the characters sing about wanting to passionately get out of Skid Row or Audrey's dream of being with Seymour or the two leads pronounce their love for each other. It's all done with great energy and passion! And maybe that's why the test audiences responded negatively to the original ending and I can see that. You so want to see these characters together but Seymour's subconscious greedy ambitions leads to his and Audrey's ultimate downfall and Audrey II's achievement of global conquest. Now I've seen the original ending, loved every minute of it (Audrey's heart-wrenching reprise of Somewhere That's Green I think is what did it for me) and have been quite puzzled as to why audiences would've found that depressing. And I know this has been said before but it represents, albeit in an over the top manner, what happens when we give in to temptation. But I must admit, even with liking the original ending, that the filmed ending works for me as well. The characters get a good payoff and, judging from the surviving Audrey II bud, a little foreboding that the plants might succeed anyway. Well that's what I get from it. Rick Moranis is perfect as Seymour, ably portraying the nervousness he feels when he goes to kill Steve Martin and (as previously mentioned) his yearning to leave Skid Row is very believeable. I only wish that the full rendition of The Meek Shall Inherit was present instead of being completely glossed over. His solo really adds to Seymour's dilemma of either killing the plant or continue with his success just so Audrey would stay with him. Ellen Greene, reprising her role from the Off-Broadway production, is, again, perfection as the ditzy yet vocally powerful Audrey. Her rendition of Somewhere That's Green brings a tear to my eye almost everytime. And Levi Stubbs as the always hungry Audrey II is the real show-stopper! I especially love it when he sings Suppertime; the piano matched with his vocals as he tempts Seymour to kill Mushnik is both menacing and suspenseful. The rest of the cast is brilliant; Vincent Gardenia as greedy Mushnik (though kind of sad that his musical numbers were cut, but maybe that was done to make him a less sympathetic character in the end), Steve Martin plays the dentist perfectly and his song is very memorable. The celebrity cameos don't seem gratuitous at all and actually add to the story in their small way. And the Greek chorus fit so well into the story that they're musical numbers don't feel jarring or confusing at all (unlike the continuous jumping back and forth of musical sequence, story, musical sequence in Chicago). Review: Cult classic shines on blu ray - LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS started as a black and white cult film in 1960, then an off Broadway musical and finally we got this magical musical color film version LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS in 1986. The film is in no way dated and is more glorious than ever on this brilliant blu ray release. The film when first made had the darker ending that was the same as the off Broadway version. Screening audiences did not like it at all so a new theatrical version was made. The film was first released on dvd in 1998 and no dvd version compares in any way to this brilliant blu ray. The Director's Cut with the original ending was contained on the 1998 dvd release but it was in black and white and in no way appeared the way it was truly intended. Here, for the very first time, we get both the theatrical and original Director's Cut version shown in the exact same quality. What a treat for fans of the film and this blu ray should certainly earn the film many new fans. The video here is superb with excellent black/white ratio and colors that are vibrant and pop when need be and tone down when called for. The film needs to go from the slime of Skid Row to the glamour and glitz of the clothing of the story telling trio and the transition is seamless. Clarity is superb and flesh tones are realistic and clean. Close ups have crisp detail as does every detail of clothing, background and scenery. The plant itself is glorious and looks realistic and colorful. This film really does go all over the place with dark and bright, dull colors and vibrant colors and all scenes look amazing. The grain has not been changed at all either so the film looks exactly as it was meant to. Audio is also excellent. The songs and score here are excellent and all speakers are utilized with the DTS 5.1 audio track. Dialogue is crisp and clear throughout and the music blends in perfectly. Rick Moranis shines as the nerdy Seymour and Ellen Greene is glorious reprising her off Broadway performance as Audrey. Their duet on SUDDENLY SEYMOUR is a definite highlight of the film. Steve Martin and Bill Murray both have superb cameos. The story of a nerdy flower shop worker who discovers a strange and unusual plant that totally changes his life is original, wacky, witty and totally effective. This Director's Cut version comes in a great digibook with info on the cast, the making of the film and tons of color pictures. There is also a personal message from Frank Oz. This film was an all time favorite of mine when it came out and here on blu ray it far surpasses any expectations I had. It makes sense the stage version ending which worked great in the theater wasn't as effective in the film but finally the Director's Cut is seen as intended, in its entirety with the same respect as the theatrical version. This blu ray far surpasses any dvd version of the film released before. If you are a fan this is indeed a must buy. Blu ray makes this film sparkle and shine with great video and audio. Highly recommend. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Various | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 18,137 Reviews | | Format | NTSC | | Genre | Comedy, Musicals & Performing Arts/Musicals | | Initial release date | 2017-10-03 | | Language | English | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Various - **Format:** NTSC - **Genre:** Comedy, Musicals & Performing Arts/Musicals - **Initial release date:** 2017-10-03 - **Language:** English ## Images ![Little Shop of Horrors: The Director's Cut + Theatrical (BD) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81lGt+IIUZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyable Over And Over *by A***D on April 10, 2010* Everything about this movie musical works!

Like many long-time fans of the movie, I'd been reading about the "lost" ending for many years. I kicked myself for not picking up the briefly-released 1998 DVD with the original footage included (the disc was quickly pulled off the shelf by Warner Bros., with second-hand copies becoming highly sought-after and VERY expensive collectibles). Over the years, I resigned myself to the possibility that I might never see it. And to be truthful, I was perfectly happy with the theatrical version, so I forgot about it. Well, Warner has finally done both the fans AND filmmakers a big favor in offering up this lovingly restored release of the cult favorite. And because the Director's Cut version probably won't be to everyone's taste (more on that in a minute), you even get your choice of viewing it or the original theatrical version (SPOILERS AHEAD). There's a brief featurette in which director Frank Oz discusses the changes, and praises the until-now lost special effects-filled finale supervised by Richard Conway, a very affable guy who seems delighted that his work can be seen at last. The package itself is very attractive, with a 36-page glossy hardcover book filled with great pictures and trivia about both versions of the film. For those who haven't seen the film in its original form until now, it's quite a revelation (again, SPOILERS and this is your last warning!). As promised by the studio, the final 20 or so minutes craft a MUCH darker finale. Having seen a stage production of the play in 1999, I can confirm that the ending mirrors it very effectively (although, as Oz points out, the deceased characters can't come back and take a bow at the end of a motion picture). And while I can understand why mainstream audiences in 1986 balked at the shocking, downbeat resolution, I think the ensuing 26 years of various real-life AND cinematic horrors have probably numbed most of us to the invetiable on-screen mayhem. It DOES place the film more firmly in the "horror" category than before, and I think that's a good thing. The "good guys" don't always have to win to make a story worthwhile or entertaining. As for Conway's contributions, they are very well-done in b-movie monster fashion. And they are blissfully free of modern CGI tampering (take THAT, Lucas and Spielberg). As for the transfer, it's not quite up to modern hi-def film resolution, but it's perfectly fine for a movie of this vintage. I played it on my 60" plasma with 5.1 surround sound, and was very satisfied with A/V quality. If you're a fan of the movie at all, this is really a no-brainer. And if you go into the altered version with an open mind, you may be pleasantly surprised at how much you enjoy it. It does change the tone of the film considerably, but again, I don't think it's a bad thing at all. Go on and pick this one up, it's Blu-ray done right. :-) ## Frequently Bought Together - Little Shop of Horrors: The Director's Cut + Theatrical (BD) [Blu-ray] - The Rocky Horror Picture Show [Blu-Ray] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/47234604-little-shop-of-horrors-the-directors-cut-theatrical-bd](https://www.desertcart.us/products/47234604-little-shop-of-horrors-the-directors-cut-theatrical-bd) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
