Musical Montage: Fast Forward
Kind of getting lost among other 80’s dance movies like Flashdance, Fame, Footloose, etc. is Fast Forward, directed by the legendary Sidney Poitier. The movie follows “The Adventurous 8”, a dance troupe from Ohio who arrives in New York City to try and win a massive dance competition. Quincy Jones and Tom Bahler produced the soundtrack, which is a huge part of the movie as you might imagine for a dance movie. One of the huge scenes comes when the group, trying to raise money to enter the contest, breaks into a fancy restaurant and blows the minds of the hoity toity diners. You can check out all the wonderfully cheesiness below.
