Fast Forward

Okay, so the acting isn't necessarily Oscar-worthy, and I'll be the first to admit that it's really pretty cheesy. But this movie was one of my favorites as a kid and it still brings back warm fuzzy feelings when I see it. The dancing is great--I knew every step when I was little--and you can't shake a stick at a great success story. For an 80's movie, I thought it was well done. Who didn't want to have a cool apartment with crates for tables and live with all of their friends? It's a film-version of the kind of life everyone wanted at some point. I know I would have LOVED to run away as a teenager and get a place with my friends--and to dance like that? I love this movie!!!!!

When this movie was released in theaters in the 80s, they gave free passes to area dance schools. My entire class went to see it. I was about 7 years old, but we thought it was the coolest movie we'd ever seen. I started wearing a bandanna headband in my curly hair along with snug fitting jeans and sneakers to emulate one of the characters. Between trips to the theater and watching the movie on VHS, I probably spent 40 - 50 hours of my childhood watching this movie! The dancing in this movie is great, especially the prerequisite "dance off" between the Sandusky kids and the tough New Yorkers. The New York dancers in this movie could have danced circles around the guys in Breakin'.

I found my VHS tape a couple of years ago and watched this movie again. I still love it. Cheesy, yes-- but all dance movies are. Fast Forward is one of the best. When will they release it on DVD!?

I enjoyed this film - dancing was good, singing was pretty good - girls were gorgeous especially Karen Kopins

although obscure, still embraced...by me, at the very least. i think this film is so overlooked. i really do believe it's an amazing film. the dance sequences aren't totally breathtaking, but they're still captivating. the acting can be so extreme, but still convincing. the music may not be overtly popular, but i know that i know every single word to each track in the movie. i have this film on VHS. though i guess it's considerably understandable why it wasn't more widely released, i'm sad that it hasn't gone to DVD. i also think owning the soundtrack would be amazing, but i'm sure that's not going to happen. honestly, this is one of my favourite movies!

I'm an 80s person i really don't remember this movie from 1984 but i love it now the dancing is awesome the soundtrack is to die for it has a warm feeling to it and it also features the lovely Gretchen palmer from the movie i got the hook up she played Lorraine so i went out and brought it i only watch it every now and then but its not a bad movie.Sidney poiter scored big with this film its very eighties with the jheri curls the clothes i wish i could turn back the clock to 1984 and we visit that movie.many of the actors were never heard from again but they gave a good performance I'm looking for it on DVD sometime soon. and I'm trying to find the artist that is doing the song when they are in the living room dancing if anyone know drop me a line.not so much of a break dance movie but i think they was trying to cash on but you gotta make it somehow i would like to see john Scott clough now wonder if he still has that curly hair
