Ok I know back in the 80's guys drooled over Jamie Lee Curtis. But to this day, this scene forever haunts me. And it has nothing to do with Jamie Lee, but a certain gym short catastrophe going on with Travolta and his ridiculous moves

If producers thought this would be a gift to the ladies, they were clearly on drugs
I made it through 37 seconds. Gah.

You lasted longer than I did. I got to 22 seconds and felt a sharp pain in my abdomen.
I am unhappy to report I lasted a entire minute. It took my brain time to realize that what my eyes were seeing was actually on the screen in front of me and not in my head!!
I watched it all.
Nnnnnngggh. Air-boom-boom with John Travolta. I don't think I'll be able to eat for a week.
23 seconds here.
LOL, back in the 80's it was common to have scenes that were basically music videos (promoting the song). Usually it involved a scene where people are shopping or changing clothes or building something. Usually they weren't in more serious films, i guess they were time fillers for lack of script.
Unfortunately here audience members were subjected to over 4 minutes of gyrating sweaty manshorts
I wish I could be sexy like that.
I actually sat through this whole movie years ago. I kept waiting for it to get at least interesting, but it never did. I HATE this movie, and seeing Travolta's tightly-wrapped package again now--ech.
i'd question how tightly wrapped it was..lol
I lasted 0.0 seconds. I have no need to see Travolta's package.
10 seconds.
:bluesad:
i thought you guys woulda lasted longer for the sake of jamie lee curtis doing x rated moves
The two cancel out, and it is not an equal kind of cancellation... oh, no.

This is very true!
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...

:bouncegiggle: :teddyr:
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.
James Bridges: what happened? :question: :buggedout:
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.
