Fame (1980) Street Dance

The music is I'm gonna live forever by Irene Cara

[@pattiemac1]

I think its awesome that a parent would be so proud of there child to blast his music and tie up traffic in midtown manhattan. that is awesome

[@jodygirrl]

we need more dancing in the streets in our day

[@babsgalv6556]

we've lost that joy...

[@manga12]

@@babsgalv6556 heh yea I used to see all the music videos from the 80's with michale jackson and this and all those movies I thought breaking out into a dance in the street was a common thing but I was very young but it was common back then, now though you might get people dancing at a park during a festival or in small groups or at a geek convention like anime central on saturday of that can because its around chicago you still have lots of people that dj and small group partys breaking out all over the hyette where the main con events are, and in the park by the convention center and sometimes in the hallways of the hotels its a jamming time, even I and you can imagine I am no spring chicken anymore that does hiphop still from when I learned it in my late teen years around the turn of the millenium still do popping I am prob the last one of the group that does it for those that didnot become professional performers, I think coda, poppula, and pringlz still dance and perform but its been a spell since seeing any of them, and by pringlz yes I mean from the venus fly trap krew she lived in the area for several years was one of my teachers

[@TheAverycross]

As much as this scene makes me laugh and smile, it still moves me, even to the point of tears. Bruno's dad firmly believes in his son's talent and loves him that much to even blast his music out in the streets, not caring at all what people will think of it. Reminds me of *my* dad. Thanks so much for sharing it:) RIP Irene Cara and Eddie Barth

[@cymbalman89]

i wish more young people knew about this now. this movie is dark, gritty, raw, and not sanitized as to what adolescence is. and it is WAY better than glee or smash or that high school musical crap.

[@dailyplanet354]

And waaaaaaaaaay better than that dreadfull remake they did in 2009.

[@jaylonpahsetopah2610]

Why are you watching High school musical? 😂

[@elizabethrosebell9017]

He's one proud Dad that's for sure to do something like that takes a lot of courage

[@shengchenfan]

The good old days. R.I.P Irene Cara!

[@princesirenita]

Fame is awesome! I heard that in this actual scene, the actors were dancing to Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff" and not the theme song "Fame" during production. Wow. lol

[@joel8583]

Shit, I never knew that one!!

[@2001Tavis]

I love the original my mom took me to see the movie and she brought me the soundtrack.After all these years no matter how many remakes they make or tv shows the original will always rule supreme.Sincerly Dragonfly

[@bigdbc]

2:24 on after Bruno's dad starts fighting and the cameras pan out until the end of the sequence. Some of the greatest footage ever put on film. Goose bumps every time. Happy 40th anniversary Laguardia (really from a Fame standpoint)! RIP Alan Parker!

[@DarkBob]

And this event produced the biggest traffic jam ever in USA. 36 years later something similar happened in LA when a huge crowd started to dance and sing in the middle of the highway because it was another day of sun…

[@ESSER68NJ]

Good bye Irene..... Tyvm for your spirit.

[@farmerbrown2a]

The original is ALWAYS better than the remake!

[@joel8583]

I never gave that PG-13 bullshit remake a chance!

[@rachelayvaz1579]

@@joel8583no remake can ever top an original masterpiece

[@plzen99]

Why does this bouncy music and chaotic scene make me cry?.....I'm gonna fly....high!

[@loggats]

because Fame (this movie) deals with truth, and beauty. Not commercial shit.

[@TheDebbiepoo]

love this i was still at school, the original is and still is the best xx

[@MyJustin316]

i love Fame

[@mr92a40]

The original Flash Mob

[@domitilla10_-]

I hope that they put this in the history books so that in the year 2041 people will look at it and experience the joy it gave us.

[@lesfleursduvent2299]

La belle époque

[@Mimifarrell77]

Thumbs up who would LOVE to stage a dance-riot like this in their town?

[@Dablkwid0w2008]

This was our Flash Mob

[@Cat.73.12]

Love this movie sooo much!

[@Rainshie779]

This is epic.

[@tony--james]

someone's Ford Sedan is gonna have more dents than a hail storm lol, ( awesome movie !!!)

[@ucheucheuche]

1:05 Hey Bruno, I'm still waiting to hear your finished track. It's been 32 years already(!)

[@joel8583]

It wouldn't have been as good as the released version.

[@lorrainestarks6628]

Amen to that Maggie!!

[@adrina911]

I walked past this place never realized they filmed there. Smh

[@MrArecibo50]

I love this song and the movie too.

[@roderickje364]

Great !!

[@allanb2007]

A classic movie!

[@Eva_and_Dora_Twins]

Classic!!

[@ernidolgin9026]

Блеск ! Папаня комрада Бруно жжот. И то что в кадре легендарный Чеккер очень правильно.

[@daniele700]

totally agree

[@daniele700]

so agree man

[@missshygirl101]

Irene Cara has a beautiful voice she should have done and album.

[@calisongbird]

She did….

[@urano1985]

great

[@johnvelas70]

Anyone else notice the cars were all American.

[@sagn]

This scene taught me to fear the dancers.

[@jazzy7991]

I like the new version, but I LOVE the original. And i wasn't even alive when the original came out! (I'm only 15)

[@joel8583]

Now you're 21. Hows life, kid?

[@Lblu1181]

fun!

[@joel8583]

Yea!

[@laminage]

What I also loved about HSPA was that it was easier to be "Gay" without actually coming out so to speak. There was a higher degree of tolerance.

[@Doolsey]

Lee Curreri

[@juszbellamay]

i love both naturi and irene caras vocals for this song but the fact that the 2009 version didnt have an actual scene for this made me upset!

[@suzyloo21]

I Clearly remember.

[@Smokler]

Actually the song's just called "Fame"

[@joel8583]

I realized that, yes.

[@TiaJinxi]

@MrBerrycool Awesom! do you mean the woman who was dancing on the car?

[@johnbowman1076]

These days... someone would plow through them with evil intent.

[@RAthaPunisher]

" remember I'm gay " lol I love Dance Flick

[@leticiamoncada623]

donde se puede ver la peli completa?

[@michaelgove1410]

This part and most of the movie was filmed in late 1979 this part was summer 1979

[@markytx]

here born the flash mob!

[@michaelgove1410]

Np

[@joel8583]

No problem.

[@ericnepinak645]

What happened to the car that obviously had its roof caved in? Is it at the Smithsonian?

[@brianthefanboy9019]

The Goldbergs brought me here.

[@afshinm4798]

minute 1:00 - 1:10 who is the guy in blue short?

[@afshinm4798]

blue shirt I mean.

[@Melinda_Mendez]

@nitshadragon1 You are, of course, entitled to your opinion.

[@MrDaGeil]

I don't mean to be rude but that's a bit of an annoyance of mine. There weren't any drugs done in the 70's that weren't done in the 80's and it's even worse now.

[@davedaddy101]

That was the perfect prelude to how much the 80's were gonna suck.

[@nitshadragon1]

i think the 2009 version is better, because it was studio recorded so you listen to the song and not "BRUNO! BRUNO!", that kinda ruins it for me...also the 2009 version is clearer, it's just an overall great remake!

[@kokewolfxo9710]

So cringe
