The movie has a bunch of great dance numbers. Yeah, Kevin can dance, though he didn't do the gymnastics moves. (They got a pro for that.) The finale prom dance number is KILLER. Not many movies capture the joy of movement the way that one does.
I just looked it up, he actually had 4 doubles for the warehouse scene: a stunt double, a dance double, and 2 gymnastics doubles. The latter makes a lot of sense. The flips on the floor was probably 1 of the gymnasts and the other probably did the bar, since they are different gymnastic disciplines. Props to the editor on splicing all of that together and getting it to match the song. Props to everyone really.
I went to see this in the theatre based on the strength of the song and the trailer. Frankly, without Kenny Loggins, I don't think anyone would be talking about Footloose today.
Kenny loggins had a great record for making bangers for movie soundtracks. Danger zone for Top gun. Im alright for Caddy shack. Finally Footlose from well the footlose movie.
Hot Kevin Bacon fun movie!! Need to see the video for this song where it’s the final dancing and the whole town all the kids have a prom and they’re all dancing it is so great!!
The dancing was a scene from the movie. Movie was super popular and song was too. The premise of the movie was a big city boy moves to a small country town where dancing and music is outlawed. He is 'rebelling'' by dancing his anger out in the old abandoned warehouse. So, this was a pivotal and emotionally charged scene. And Kevin Bacon was a heart throb at the time Not super common to have all dancing in a video but dancing in movies was popular for a spell with Grease, then Saturday Night Fever that lead to Staying Alive. Then the series Fame was a huge hit (kinda like an inner city High School Musical of it's day). Then Flashdance. So, we had John Travolta dancing his way through the 80s, so it was not that odd to see your favorite actor could dance too. Dirty Dancing showed off Patrick Swayze as a primo dancer. Kevin Bacon got his dancing chops with this movie "Footloose". He still may do a small dance scene in movies as a nod to the past. Like Travolta dancing as Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction. It's almost expected of him. lol. Sorry for rambling. lol.
@@ReaderOfThreads Actually, it had less to do with politics and more about a shared trauma the town had when a car load of the seniors from their high school, went out to a bar and went off a bridge on the way back, killing everyone including son of Preacher, played by John Lithgow. The town was in such pain and shock their knee jerk reaction was this banning of sinful ways. They sorted it out in the end. Plus, dance movies made money then, so anything to do with dancing.....
My mom was all about Kenny Loggins back in the day. An 80s songwriter with a very classic 50s/60s rock and r&b sound under the slicker modern production.
Guys you need to watch this movie, it’s such a classic. One of my all time favorite films, that gave birth to one of my favorite songs. highly recommend it. 😄
We've all been there. High School pressure, the weight of the world on our shoulders. You just have to find an abandoned barn somewhere and dance it all out.
Well, on my planet, we have a legend about people like you. It's called Footloose. And in it, a great hero, named Kevin Bacon, teaches an entire city full of people with sticks up their butts that, dancing, well, is the greatest thing there is.
The part where you see him dancing he’s actually blowing off steam because he’s angry and the song he’s actually dancing to is a different song in the movie the footloose song is actually the song they play in the final part of the movie where all the kids are at a prom and they’re dancing to footloose!!!
Wife here..As a Gen xer this movie was a big part of our pop culture!!..Will forever picture Kevin Bacon dancing when I hear this eighties jem!!! Great Reaction as always!!!
The movie is about a town in the Midwest where it's very Christian fundamentalist and it was a sin to dance. Kevin Bacon's character came along and railed against the church.
You guys know Kenny Loggins a bit from USA For Africa's "We Are The World", he sang right after Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen and Steve "the Voice" Perry.
The film was about a Chicago kid who moves to a small town in Texas called Beaumont, and he finds that the town has outlawed dancing, rock music, and is very much under a fundamentalist Christian town council. With the help of the preacher's daughter, he works to change things. Kevin Bacon on plays the kid and he did almost all of his own dancing, but not the gymnastics which were done by Olympic Gold Medal winner Mitch Gaylord. The cast had Sarah Jessica Parker, John Lithgow, Chris Penn, and Dianne Wiest. There was a remake of the movie, as well as a Broadway musical. This song was also covered by Blake Shelton for the remake.
It takes place in Bomont Utah, not Beaumont Texas. Beaumont is a lot larger (>100K people). Now mind you, there are plenty of small towns in that part of Texas with a lot of baptists (dancing was banned at Baylor University when I was growing up), but not grain farming like the movie shows.
Scenes from the Movie Footloose. Very different than the fatboy slim video, where they just heard that Christopher Walkin used to be one hell of a tap dancer, and got him for the shoot LOL.
This is from the movie, which is on my all-time favorites. This song opens the movie, and as the credits roll, a montage of people dancing in many different types of shoes plays on screen. It's such a perfect representation of the the time. Such positive energy. You should really watch the movie. The original with Kevin Bacon and Lori Singer. Not the remake with Julianne Hough. I like her, but the original was far better.

This is a clip from the movie ''Footloose'' starring Kevin Bacon. And yes Lex he sings and plays in a band and is a guitartist as well! Great reaction y'all!
There 2 movies called Footloose. Kevin Bacon is in the first release and its really good. The singer Kenny Loggins made a big hit with this in the 1980s. I believe Kenny was in the video "We are the World".
Yeah Kevin B was pretty young there, that movie came out in '84 he was also in the original Friday the 13th movie '80 Made a guest appearance in Planes trains and automobiles '88
I grew up in the 80's with 2 older sisters and saw Grease 100 times but I never saw Footloose or Flashdance (which has the famous dancer/water bucket scene)
Yes, that was Kevin Bacon and that whole scene was from the 1984 movie "Footloose". Kevin Bacon actually had stunt doubles during this scene as he wasn't a professional dancer or gymnast. The stage musical was based off of this film and in 2011, there was a musical remake of this film. I've seen this film as a kid and prefer it over the remake.
I was trying to put my finger on why I love 80's music the other day even cheesy numbers like this, and I think its because the 80's was more about fun, confidence, and positivity. As opposed to music today which seems to be about negativity, nihilism and anxiety. I think its a reflection of the times. I'm generalising obviously and caveat it with "not all music" for the benefit of the pedantic.
@Kenny Loggins I watched Footloose as the original in movie houses my senior year of high school in 1984. I attended your performance in Provo, Utah, at Stradium of Fire for the 4th of July in the 90s. I listened to your 70s and 80s hits, climbing the charts on kasey Kassim's top 40 countdown. I have LOVED your music and been a fan for over forty years. If this is truly you, Kenny, I just want to thank you for putting your heart into your songs 🎵 ❤️. God Bless
@@angelarasmussen1800 Thank you so much❤️ Your support is what keeps me going, so in return I've decided to give something back to my fans by setting up an interactive community and I would love you to join. It will make me happy. Write to me directly on my Gmail that you see on my Channel description
A fun reaction would be Daryl's House, where many musicians have gone to Daryl Hall's (of Hall and Oates) house to play. One episode has Kenny playing Footloose.
Loggins and Messina were great, Angry Eyes, Danny’s Song, Your Mama Don’t Dance. Loggins suddenly was doing movie soundtrack songs Footloose, Top Gun. I wonder what happened to the duet???
That is Kevin Bacon. His first movie was ANIMAL HOUSE in 1977, where he plays a snarky college kid. Here (1984) 7 years later, he plays a high school kid.....hmmmmm
The movie has a bunch of great dance numbers. Yeah, Kevin can dance, though he didn't do the gymnastics moves. (They got a pro for that.) The finale prom dance number is KILLER. Not many movies capture the joy of movement the way that one does.
I almost had a heart attack when I was 14 because of this movie... That CHICKEN SCENE!!!!

Agreed. One of my all time favorite movies. Also had a childhood crush on SJP

Don't forget "Meet Me Halfway" from "Over The Top". You can forget the movie, but the song is worth remembering.
And Return to Pooh Corner.
Hot Kevin Bacon fun movie!! Need to see the video for this song where it’s the final dancing and the whole town all the kids have a prom and they’re all dancing it is so great!!
Kenny Loggins was the king of the movie soundtracks in the 80's.

Dancing and music forbidden, sounds like a red state in 2022.
@@ReaderOfThreads come on.. don't be that way. I'm conservative and I love dance.. love freedom.. don't bash.

"Hey, Hey! What's this I see? I thought this was a party. LET'S DANCE!"
This song is iconic in "Footloose" (1984)
🎥💃🏻🕺🏼
It was iconic to my youth.
OMG. They don’t realize this is a movie 🤣🤣🤣😜😜😜
Yes that is a young Kevin Bacon from the movie Footloose.
My mom was all about Kenny Loggins back in the day. An 80s songwriter with a very classic 50s/60s rock and r&b sound under the slicker modern production.
Always had the old school rockabilly style to his music. Very good music.
Loggins And Messina: "Your Momma Can't Dance".
Guys you need to watch this movie, it’s such a classic. One of my all time favorite films, that gave birth to one of my favorite songs. highly recommend it. 😄
The soundtrack to this movie is so great. You should really react to the whole movie
We've all been there. High School pressure, the weight of the world on our shoulders. You just have to find an abandoned barn somewhere and dance it all out.
It was a movie in 1985 with Kevin Bacon he also did the original Friday the 13th and he was in Animal house in 1978.
The song was written for a movie of the same name and it starred Kevin Bacon. The musical was based on the movie
Yes! Kevin Bacon was younger in Footloose (1984). He was also in the first Friday the 13th movie(1980) 😀
I concur. We were all younger in 1984 than we are now.
@@winstonsmith8441 I wasn't.
And he was even younger in Animal House
Well, on my planet, we have a legend about people like you. It's called Footloose. And in it, a great hero, named Kevin Bacon, teaches an entire city full of people with sticks up their butts that, dancing, well, is the greatest thing there is.
Who put the sticks up their butts?....
We're just like KEVIN BACON!!!
🤣🤣🤣♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
The part where you see him dancing he’s actually blowing off steam because he’s angry and the song he’s actually dancing to is a different song in the movie the footloose song is actually the song they play in the final part of the movie where all the kids are at a prom and they’re dancing to footloose!!!
Always loved that dance scene, especially the kid that was “poppin” lol
Wife here..As a Gen xer this movie was a big part of our pop culture!!..Will forever picture Kevin Bacon dancing when I hear this eighties jem!!! Great Reaction as always!!!
The movie is about a town in the Midwest where it's very Christian fundamentalist and it was a sin to dance. Kevin Bacon's character came along and railed against the church.
And his character proved, with using the Bible, that it is grand for people to dance in joy.
the town this movie is loosely based on is a small town here in Oklahoma
John Lithgow (3rd Rock from the Sun) played the conservative Pastor in the movie. He also was in the movie Shrek.
Classic! Great movie, great soundtrack!!! Definitely recommend watching
You guys know Kenny Loggins a bit from USA For Africa's "We Are The World", he sang right after Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen and Steve "the Voice" Perry.
You're getting closer. I'm talking Loggins and Messina Angry Eyes. Got your vocal harmonies, Sax, flute, nasty bass, check it out!
It's the best when you are in the club. This song comes on and everyone starts line dancing. That is a great vibe, and lots of fun
Kevin Bacon is also a musician with his brother, they go by The Bacon Brothers. I saw them at the Philadelphia Folk Festival like 20 years ago.

Remember Brad and Lex There's A Game called 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon,oh by the way,he did a commercial.
Footloose is such a great movie!! You two should watch it!!
Scenes from the Movie Footloose. Very different than the fatboy slim video, where they just heard that Christopher Walkin used to be one hell of a tap dancer, and got him for the shoot LOL.
Brad & Lex, you'' love his "Danger Zone" and "Whenever I Call You 'Friend'" (with Stevie Nicks)!!
Great movie, Outstanding sound track. ✌️😎
one of the catchiest songs ever! ♥
From the footloose musical?? Brad says......OOOOOOOHHHH OK!! Blahhhhh hahaha!!! Y'all crack me up!!!!!!!!
Great 80's movie.
Top Gun- Danger Zone another great Kenny Logggins soundtrack tune.
This is a band I considered was for preppy kids when this first came out. Instead we listened to Punk , Metal, and various New Wave bands.
LOVE this song !!! LOL. My toes started tapping,immediately !!! LOL. I also LOVE the movie !!! Never get tired of this song or the film !!! LOL.
Yeah this is literally the movie that made Kevin Bacon a household name and famous in the 80's.
Lex is such a dork....never change!
Lex, yes it is the Kevin Bacon movie.
Great movie and yea Kevin Bacon
This whole soundtrack! It's a banger. Deniece Williams, ""Let's hear it for the boy." Great singer.
80's is THE BEST decade of whole music EVER !!!!!!!!!!!
Another great song for a movie that is iconic. The 80's had so many awesome movies and sound tracks.
I am here because I watched the movie for the first time in my life and I am almost 60 years old.
Brad and Lex are the gold standard for reaction videos. simple to prove.
Footloose is a movie - well worth checking out! The theatre show followed i think
Kevin can dance and sing.
This is from the movie, which is on my all-time favorites. This song opens the movie, and as the credits roll, a montage of people dancing in many different types of shoes plays on screen.

I know someone across the galaxy who loves Footloose.
Lolll Footloose musical, this is from the film!! Massive film in the mid 80s, another one for you guys to watch.
I can never be still while listening to this song. Just can't resist! Brad is completely still though lmao

The movie is a classic :-)
Kenny was recently on Daryl's House. He's still got it.
There 2 movies called Footloose. Kevin Bacon is in the first release and its really good. The singer Kenny Loggins made a big hit with this in the 1980s. I believe Kenny was in the video "We are the World".

He redid the dance he did in the movie on Saturday Night Live maybe? He CAN STILL do the moves now! He is pretty fantastic!
Yeah Kevin B was pretty young there, that movie came out in '84 he was also in the original Friday the 13th movie '80 Made a guest appearance in Planes trains and automobiles '88
Lex and Footloose. Life complete.
80s showed everyone it was ok to dance again.
I grew up in the 80's with 2 older sisters and saw Grease 100 times but I never saw Footloose or Flashdance (which has the famous dancer/water bucket scene)

The movie, Footloose, with Kevin Bacon, is awesome. There is a lot of different dance numbers.
That’s dance Sean from movie with Kevin bacon. Great movie
Yes that is a young Kevin Bacon, the movie really kick started his career
Great movie too.
Got to watch the movie Footloose. Several other hit songs in it.
That is Kevin Bacon. His first movie was ANIMAL HOUSE in 1977, where he plays a snarky college kid. Here (1984) 7 years later, he plays a high school kid.....hmmmmm
Kenny Loggins is a classic by now. Between Footloose the movie and then Top Gun. A couple of movies are really responsible for a lot of his fame.
The song was cut short by about 40 seconds.
This was the MOVIE : FOOTLOOSE.
All the dance inspired videos come out of the musicals 30s 40s 50s and early 60s originally. Fatboy slim was 90s
