    So yes...he was an athlete...at the very least...compared to Bacon.

    Now, if you are going to dismiss on the man just because...I don't know what else to say on the matter...

    double plllleaaaseee LOL

      the original is a cult classic Chris. not the greatest film ever but not bad either compared to the crap that Hollywood cranks out these days

        ^^^ This is a true statement. Take one look at High school Musical and suddenly Footloose is a classic by every measure.

Honestly I think the movie was just okay, but got it's greatest boost from Kenny Loggins, who was on a wave of soundtrack hits, starting with Top Gun.
          I Think Dirty Dancing was the wannabe film Footloose came out in Summer 1984 and Dirty Dancing summer 1987 but I would pick Bacon over Swayze in that musical dance setting anyday of the week

                  You need glasses, bro...lol.

                  Swayze had rhythm...like or hate the style of dance...the man was a smooth operator...

                  Bacon had ZERO rhythm...stiff as a board (and when is not, it's a dance double, lol)...and that scene is beyond comical and silly...embarrassing actually...

                  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb7fX...feature=fvwrel


                  Hell...I think he sucks more than Molly Ringwald and company...

                          Kennermike...we are going to go back and forth with this forever...you prefer Bacon as a dancer...I prefer Swayze...let's call it a truce...




                          I think you and I both can agree that the best dancers are this duo...

                              So much for my truce suggestion...

                              In that case, Kevin Bacon...Sixth Degrees of Absolutely NO Rhythm Whatsoever...lol.

                                I have no clue why people are hating on this movie I thought it was great! I was to young for the original though but, when i watched it before the new one I really could not relate to it. Kenny Wormald is an AMAZING dancer in this movie and Julianne Hough is way more attractive too. I personally liked this one a lot more than the original.
