As a retired farmer, who was a "wild man " on a tractor in my teenage years, the shoe lace was caught on brake pedal, he could have pushed in brake pedal or just push in the clutch pedal, he was totally inexperienced, got scared and panicked.
I forgot how intense that scene was. as an older guy now, i'm less worried about losing pride and i'm thinking... "oh man, i bet that tractor is EXPENSIVE. Dont lose, Kevin, they'll send you to jail for destruction of property."
same here, their families were dependent on those machines for their livelihoods, his father should've tanned his hide within an inch of his life for being that stupid...I mean, cool scene, but in real life, really stupid
Almost Paradise is one of my all-time favorite love songs! Amazing songwriting collaboration between Eric Carmen on the music and Dean Pitchford on the lyrics!!
There's an odd phenomenon where you get this weird feeling of satisfaction from seeing this song paired with a scene where someone is shifting gears with some sort of machinery. It happened once when I saw the Tetris movie where they shifted the car into high gear during the chase scene, and it happened again when I saw this scene where he shifted gears to use the bulldozer. Anyone else have that weird, but satisfying feeling?
2:07 Kevin Bacon could not stop neither get out the tractor throughout the entire race. Curiously, as soon as the bully gave up, Kevin's tractor finally stopped and he easily get out. Is this a Miracle ????
That feeling when you sit back down and you just have to accept what's coming it's like you know this is either going to make me either way. When you have nothing to lose only your ego then you have everything to gain. Take the pain as well as the feeling good because both are required to get through this life. It's all necessary and only really makes true sense in the end. That is were the solitude of your being defines it's reason for living. Anything worth-while is worth fighting for and failing for in life to succeed. Both are necessary for you to feel and be humble and human.
As a 42 year old man, tears are coming down my face because this was the best music, best movie, the best era in America 🇺🇸 history. I miss that magical decade.
@@theguywithanobjective482 Neither of those tractors can do 20 MPH. The one was a Massey Ferguson 180. 19.2 MPH max speed. Bacon's tractor appeared to be a John Deere 2640. 16.4 MPH max speed. And neither one was doing anything like that.
Haven't watched this in near 40 years and heading to the stage show. Great memories of great music, but isn't this scene SO like the race in Grease? 😂😂🎶🏎️
@@justinstearns9723 Cool, I've never driven one myself, so I just assumed. He does look like he's trying to get more speed tho, even though he's actually shitting it lol.
Chanson composée par jim Steinman pour le film croyant au succès du film il a choisi Bonnie Tyler pour l'interpréter et toujours accompagnés du chanteur et choristes Rory Dodd et son falsetto unique !
In addition to seeing Footloose in the theater, we watched it in High School one day when we had a substitute teacher, well 2 actually...I'm guessing they were low on subs and sent two girls from the University...Good Times!
Brilliant TV series but sorry to hear that the actor Jon -Erik Hexum who starred in the TV series sadly passed away during filming and Antony Hamilton took over the role, forgotten the character s name with 2:37 Jennifer O'Neill and fellow actor Richard Anderson. 🎬🎥🙏♥️👍
In the words of Bonnie Tyler, we're holding out for a hero. But unlike the song, originally recorded for the movie Footloose, starring Kevin Beacon, Britain got its hero, Winston Churchill. The first question is who or what is Churchill. The answer is... who.
Never even heard of this movie. Don't remember any songs from Shrek except Immigrant Song. But this song will always reminds me the finale of Saints Row The Third.
The town of Taber Alberta saw several bylaws passed banning spitting, yelling, and swearing in public as well as banning of music that could be deemed as "annoying" and groups of 3 or more people in a public place can be broken up. There was a group there called Save Us Bacon whose goal is to raise enough money to pay Bacon to fly to Taber to host a "raucous dance party/protest against an embarrassing, archaic, vaguely worded law passed by an out of touch town-council - held of course, just outside of Taber. Help us bring a big city kid to a small town who knows he has to win." I guess you could say they were Holding Out for a Hero.
Only 80's music can make this kind of scenes epic!
100 percent true
@@russkate88 1000 percent true
@@gabeadams7429 1000000 percent true
80s movies had the best soundtracks
So epic!❤
I can't imagine a better song for this scene. 80s rock forever. This was the first fast and furious scene ever. 😂
Fast & furious never involved any tractors, lol
It was composed for the movie
1984
Amazing how Chuck was able to get full surround sound with that portable cassette player.
😅🤣😅🤣
The 80's was truly a magical time.
@@XR171 in so many ways.
They made good stuff back then
@@justinracine7566 very true.
This is a badass scene, and the song works so well. It isn't one of my favorite movies but this scene gives it a good boost.
fredlburrows completely agree
yea
fredlburrows yup
excavators slowly driving towards each other... insane stuff!
Eh, I disagree.
I had no idea this song was actually written for the film until yesterday.
I know, isn't that wild?
i had no idea until just now
Neither did I. Honestly thought it was written for Short Circuit 2.
Ah yes! When number 5 is sparking and he being chased that's what I thought when Iwould always hear it lol
So many people think that this song was written for Shrek 2.
This was the day when he was no longer just 'kevin, the guy in the red shirt.' but he became something else, the Bacon. The Kevin Bacon.
OK
Best comment on RUclips right here!
Kevin Bacon, the Baconator. wait, that's a sandwich at wendy's. nevermind.
👏👏👏
As a retired farmer, who was a "wild man " on a tractor in my teenage years, the shoe lace was caught on brake pedal, he could have pushed in brake pedal or just push in the clutch pedal, he was totally inexperienced, got scared and panicked.
or pulled his foot out of the shoe
He is inexperienced. This is his first time on a tractor. He had no idea what he is doing. That's why it is funny.
His pull out game was weak.
hell yeah he was panicked. They were traveling at speeds up to 5mph.
I forgot how intense that scene was.
as an older guy now, i'm less worried about losing pride and i'm thinking...
"oh man, i bet that tractor is EXPENSIVE.
Dont lose, Kevin, they'll send you to jail for destruction of property."
Hahah! same here. I'm all like, "Who's going to get that tractor out of the mud now? Yeah. Dad."
same here, their families were dependent on those machines for their livelihoods, his father should've tanned his hide within an inch of his life for being that stupid...I mean, cool scene, but in real life, really stupid
I could use that tractor over here 😓 they don't make them like they used to.
This movie had alot of Top hits
But not enough big tits
Almost Paradise is one of my all-time favorite love songs! Amazing songwriting collaboration between Eric Carmen on the music and Dean Pitchford on the lyrics!!
1984
Poor bloke couldn't get his footloose.
and now you know where they got the title for the movie.
Oh my god. Discovered 7 years after the fact, and that pun is so beautiful I only have five words for you. Fuck you, you beautiful bastard.
Great.
Hahaha
I bet the only reason you looked for this video was to comment that, and you're a fucking legend because of that.
The number one song of choice for an eighties showdown.
I would hate to grow up in this present time. What memories!
Wow ., this brings back so many memories of the good old days.. this is absolutely a classic song and movie as well.. too cool 😎
Most epic tractor chicken race of all time
Another favorite scene! RIP Chris Penn
The mountains of Southern Illinois look beautiful in the background.
It was filmed in Payson, Utah.
1984
Movie scenes and music that I can watch and listen over and over again, and makes me feel emotional!!!
THIS is what this song was attached to before Short Circuit 2? It's a good thing the song was strong enough to stand on It's own.
And whit shrek 2
1984
I miss the 80's when any problem could be solved with a game of tractor chicken
Marty: Nobody calls me chicken.
1984

When you know the exact sounds the tractors make in the song, exhaust and all. You may have seen this movie too many times
Can we PLEASE GO BACK TO WHEN WE HAD HEROS????
Sensazionale brano! Mi riporta agli anni della mia BEATA GIOVENTÙ!!
2:07 Kevin Bacon could not stop neither get out the tractor throughout the entire race.
Curiously, as soon as the bully gave up, Kevin's tractor finally stopped and he easily get out.
Is this a Miracle ????
Greatest movie of all time
At 1:32, you’d think there were only 2 seconds to impact. Magic

Miss the 80s but I'm a 90s baby they has good music
Music of 90s it's gothic and scandinavian black
1984
This song always reminds me of Johnny 5...
When the film was released, I was still in kindergarten😁
As a 42 year old man, tears are coming down my face because this was the best music, best movie, the best era in America 🇺🇸 history. I miss that magical decade.
This Movie Started The Whole Holding out for a hero in All movies and tv shows
Chicken in tractors going about 5 mph. Oh the suspense! Hurry up and jump out to avoid a mildly annoying sudden stop!
that was more than 5 mph it was about 20 and those things are old the chances you will slam your face on the steering wheel and get a broken tooth
@@theguywithanobjective482 Neither of those tractors can do 20 MPH. The one was a Massey Ferguson 180. 19.2 MPH max speed. Bacon's tractor appeared to be a John Deere 2640. 16.4 MPH max speed. And neither one was doing anything like that.
Looking at the tractors is different from being in the tractors about to run into each other.
One of the best songs ever.
2024, os 58 anos volto a boas lembranças daquela época. Gosto muito malhar ao som desta trilha sonora. ❤😄
I live a couple blocks from this spot. Ride past it all the time on my bike.
Good for you... 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼.. can capture again n again the scene and the song.. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Haven't watched this in near 40 years and heading to the stage show. Great memories of great music, but isn't this scene SO like the race in Grease? 😂😂🎶🏎️
Te amo ATI Bonnie y está canción es vibrante fuego y fuerza corre por mis venas con este tema vivamos 80😢 joda
When Woody yelled GET OFF! He no longer cared who won.
i cant tell you how many times i would be out baling hay and have to stop the tractor because,, dude, i just had to dance dude
R.I.P. Chris Penn
1:44 now I know why this movie is called Footloose
I’ve never been so damn jacked up by tractors!!!
I love the way his lace is caught on the accelerator, so it actually looks like he's trying to to get more speed!
Those are the brake pedals but anyway..
@@justinstearns9723 He really could have just thrown in the clutch and his lace-stuck brakes and given hand signals he gives up
@@justinstearns9723 Cool, I've never driven one myself, so I just assumed. He does look like he's trying to get more speed tho, even though he's actually shitting it lol.
This kicks ass. You gotta love it
At age 12 this is how my grandpa Cheers taught me to drive, clutches and all lol 😆 😄 😀
Great song in a great movie
Soy colombiano y amo está película es un clásico Estadounidense!!!

love the song
As a tractor guy, I feel bad for the poor massey
I’m guessing you think an asshole like Chuck shouldn’t be behind the wheel of one?
Nice touch with how he wanted to jump off but was stuck, made it more realistic in my opinion
I not only watched this in the theater as a kid but also had half off the ticked for bringing in a walkman. Christ I'm so old.
LOL I saw this in the theatre too.
Peter Quill, is that you?
Don't apologise we know quality when we see it, I still have my Walkman in 2019 and still use it
I’m a big fan of the movie I love you guys peace
Reminds me of my good ol hero tractor days 🤠
great 80's cheese...Lori Singer looks extremely hot in this!
Lori Singer (Ariel in Footloose) reminds me of Cobie Smulders (Robin from How I Met Your Mother)
Beautiful mountains in the background
I love this song
I ❤80'
how was kevin bacon a heart throb and why was he in a game of tractor chicken with justin trudeau?
peterpan0114 hahahaha nice
peterpan0114 a better question would be to ask why they asked a 26 year old Kevin Bacon to play a teenager
Lol 😅😅😅😅😅
It was the 80s. You had to be there to understand.
@Ryan Irwin- Diehl the third karate kid he was 27 so you’re right almost 30. But the first karate kid he was 21 .
Que buena parte de la pelicula... buena música sobretodo.

gonna be honest, this is not what I expected the scene tied to this song to be.
THE 80'S VERCION OF FOOTLOOSE IS A GREAT MOVIE, THE REMAKE MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
I wish i could have seen this in the theater.
Starlords favorite movie.
Brilliant TV series but sorry to hear that the actor Jon -Erik Hexum who starred in the TV series sadly passed away during filming and Antony Hamilton took over the role, forgotten the character s name with 2:37 Jennifer O'Neill and fellow actor Richard Anderson. 🎬🎥🙏♥️👍
How does any of that have to do with this film lol?
Scena indimenticabile, come quella dov’è balla nel magazzino!! Spacca!!
What a classic dance film
I love the Movie.❤
This movie should have been on mystery science theater 3k
There's still time. Maybe Rifftrax will do us the honor.
Someone who still sees this stage in the middle of 2024
we NEED Heroes..I AM this ❤️💪
No your not. Guys who says they where better are not hereos. Think about this
@@niklashoglinger4831
You don't undestand my message ......
@@JonnyBlond sorry, im not so good in english😥
IT'S NO! YOU'RE NOT. GUYS WHO SAY THAT THEIR A HERO THEY AREN'T A HERO.
This is why farmers have to keep No Trespassing signs in their fields...
トラクターで、なんてダサいし、しかも農家への迷惑考えろよ！ってツッコミを入れなきゃいけないんですが、｢HERO｣がBGMだと何でもかっこよく見えてきます。それほどいい曲ですよね。歌詞がまた響くんです。ヒーローって見て憧れるものじゃなくて、自分の中に眠ってるというような考え方、今でも響きます。
HERMOSA EPOCA!!! MUY BUENA PELICULA.
This was way better than the bus figure 8 race in the remake. I wish they stayed with the tractor's. I did enjoy the remake though.
DAM i want to go back to the 80s
Awesome!!!
Hey, Ren was from Chicago! Like Sean Connery in The Untouchables:

I love this so much
Ren looked so terrified 😂

Yesssss!
Sylvie: Yes please
Nothing like 80s soundtracks
Footloose to balto to other movies but these are my favorites
