You men!  Your ick factor dial is turned up way too high  *lol*

I haven't seen that clip, I can't run You tube vids here at work.  But I'm not really interested in watching Travolta's "Last Chicken in the Shop" look.   Buggedout

I love '80s movies, and one set in an aerobics studio would normally make me drool, but this particular movie...ugh.  There's not a single scene in it that doesn't make me cringe.  It would have probably worked as a light comedy with plenty of gratuitous, voyeuristic shots of sweaty girls in leotards, but to try to make a serious movie out of it...it just ruins everything.  It's like looking at hot chicks with your mom along.  And John Travolta, oh dear lord...

I actually saw Perfect when it came out and I couldn't believe then (and I can't believe now) that the guy who made The Paper Chase and The China Syndrome made this.

I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?

I've watched this scene 2 1/2 times now, I recorded this movie for my wife (at the time she was a big fan of John Travolta, we even have his LP in the record cabinet) and couldn't figure out how to record on one channel and watch another. When she got back from where ever she was I watched it again with her. Now I've seen about half of it here. I believe the scene was put in the movie to increase the sexual tension between the charactors played by Jamie Lee Curtis  and John Travolta, or, and this one seems more likely to me, the movie makers figured with these two doing those aerobic moves they could attract a larger audience of silly young women and dumb young men. I base this on the fact that I can remember thinking that watching Jamie Lee Curtis do her stuff made it easy to put up with John Travolta doing his. I've changed my mind, karma to Susan for making me nauseous.

If you would digitally erase Travolta from that, then it would be highly watchable.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
