Travolta should've won the Oscar that year. The dancing is fine but he's also showing his discomfort and worry that Marcellus will kill him if he steps over the line with Mia. Lots of tension and so funny too.
This has to be hands down one of the most iconic dance sequences in a Hollywood movie. It may seem simple but very fascinating. I can now see why Pulp Fiction is referenced in movies and in every conversation about movies.
Little bit of trivia, it's thought that the dance scene is based on the dance in Jean-Luc Godard's "Bande à part", which is a fun movie and definitely worth the watch.
It is so crazy, that yesterday we had a family party, and my mom came to me to request a song. In the next moment my Mom and Dad hit this whole choreography flawlessly. It was one of the coolest things they've ever done.
Love how the dance is basically the subtext of their whole evening. Mia is young and pretty brash with her advances, constantly trying to pull Vincent in with moves that are charming, but forward; Vince, on the other hand, is closed off and a bit curt, but he clearly knows what his doing. Over the course of the dance, the two push and pull with each other, getting close at times, though ultimately drifting apart before it fades, each dancing their own, near each other.
I just love how Uma Thurman and John Travolta acted this scene. Mia dances with the reckless abandon of somebody who just wants to have fun. Vincent is slightly robotic and reserved, probably worrying about what Marcellus would think if he was watching. It’s just brilliant cinema.
Mia wants Vincent to F her, that's probably why Rocky Horror got tossed out a window because she flirted with him and probably asked for the foot massage.
This scene always manages to make me crack a smile, two people living in uncertain times, high as fuck jamming out on the dance floor like a bunch of goons for the whole world to witness, it really emphasizes that no matter how crazy the circumstances in your life may be that there's always a reason to let loose and boogie, the humility of it all along with the chemistry between the two on-screen just reels you in, its a great movie with great actors who do such a good job together that it just looks like an honest genuine interaction.
He was very specific he is one of the most specific director's he want the thing to be done according to his direction, there is very less improvisation said by Jamie Foxx
Этот их танец - Это Шедевр, которого и близко никогда ни у кого не было и вряд-ли когда нибудь у кого и будет...Сила, Супер, можно смотреть бесконечно вновь и вновь, что я и делаю часто!!!
His dance scenes are always memorable. He dances with a quiet confidence from Saturday Night Fever, Grease, Pulp Fiction, just makes it feel like you can’t look away, mesmerizing.
Yes, he dances like he doesn't give a BLEEP what anyone thinks. I wish I could have that confidence on the floor instead of wondering how many people are in pain watching me
My parents used to get drunk and do this dance ALL the time when I was young. At the time I thought typical child thoughts "my parents are so embarrassing." Now I see they were just cultured 😂.
In an interview sometime after the movie was released, Uma said that she was terrified to do that scene with John because of his awesome talent as a dancer.
They both played their roles well. Both were good (for average schlubs); she, a little better than he. Neither looked professional or even coached. Travolta looked exactly like a middle-aged thug trying his best to recreate the moves from his youth while looking cool and tough.
Remember seeing this with my Dad in '94, I was only 14...but after the movie Dad told me, "You know it was cool seeing John Travolta dance on screen again. A few years before you were born, he was bigger than the world when he did Saturday Night Fever." At the time it was only like 17 years earlier, but looking back on it now, movies meant a lot more to people, and seeing one of the big stars resurge to the top of Hollywood was a remarkable story, and Pulp Fiction relaunched Travolta's career on screen.
Yes, absolutely. There were more than a few raised eyebrows when he was cast in a Tarantino film. He was, in effect, a has-been-inseparable from the deeply unfashionable disco era that made his name. Then overnight he was cool again. Pulp Fiction posters were in every student house I visited in the mid 90s.
The names of the dances they threw in together flawlessly in a "twist contest, " were the twist, the swim, the jerk, the monkey, and the cowboy . One of the coolest scenes of dance in any movie any time. Great job! Those two were fire right there!
I love this ! Bringing back 1991--Memphis Tennessee. Riding horses,buying real estate. What a blast ! I use to drive buy Elvis Presley mansion but I never made time to see it . What❤a blast--1991- Pulp Fiction ! I wander where a good place to celebrate my birthday?
The greatest dance scene in film history!! The chemistry between Uma Thurman and John Travolta was electrifying! Nobody else could have played these roles! Pulp Fiction is such a human story with very human interactions and I believe it is a masterpiece!
Are you serious? Its good but no where near the greatest dance scene in film history . Not even close. Ever hear of Free Astaire Ginger Rodgers. Heck Even Travolta himself had better dance scenes in other movies.
This is such a fun, iconic scene. I can’t tell you how it electrified the crowd in the theater. I saw this at the Edwards Tustin Marketplace on opening Friday night back in 1994. All the buzz was about how this was Travolta’s comeback (it was) and the audience loved the dialogue and scenes so far. It was like no other movie we’ve ever seen, really. Then this scene hits, and there was Travolta dancing on the big screen again. The crowd clapped, whistled and I made it a point to look around me at all the faces illuminated by the screen and it was nothing but huge, wide, perfect smiles…men, especially women, etc. for some reason, this genuine, joyous moment of movie-watching never left me and, nearly 30 years later I think back to that night when I see this scene. When the movie ended and I walked out into the night air, everybody was talking and laughing, quoting lines, discussing scenes, etc. it hit everyone upside the head like two bricks. This is one of my favorite moviegoing memories ever. You couldn’t fake/manufacture the buzz/excitement this scene generated. A nice little break from the weirdness, violence and rough language, so it was like everyone just exhaled and enjoyed themselves fully for three minutes. Corny, I know. But its 100% true. I’ve always felt lucky to have seen this thing n opening night with a Southern California audience.
You made me want to be there. I wanted you to keep going lol. I remember that feeling in the theater during Jurassic Park, Lion King and Titanic. I was a kid when Pulp Fiction was on video.
The best twist ever! A great tune, great dancing, a classic. Thurman and Travolta are mesmerizing. I’ve watched the video over and over through the years.
Tarantino told Uma and Travolta (paraphrasing) "I dont want you to dance perfectly, I want you to dance because I want the audience to see you dancing, having fun and enjoy seeing you dancing." Guess he accomplished his goal.
No, man. Travolta was a trained dancer and wanted to become a professional dancer before his knee got injured, after which he went into acting. Tarantino even claimed the extras in the dance scene broke into applause after the take because they thought Travolta's moves were so good.
People who weren't alive back then just can't understand how huge it was to see John Travolta dance up on the big screen again. People who would've NEVER watched a movie like this went just to watch this one scene, and they left happy!
They didn't win, later in the movie when butch is in his apartment a commercial comes on the tv. It's a jack rabbits slims commercial saying the trophy was stolen
It is amazing how natural and confident Travolta appears on the dance floor. Most of us would look silly and uncoordinated if we tried these moves, but he always seems so at ease-in his element. Whether it be Grease, Michael, Look who's talking, SNF, Pulp Fiction, The Experts, or Urban Cowboy-John is the dance king of his generation. Kudos to Tarantino for bringing back some of the older movie stars and the great music we all know and love !
from the comments ....... ahah .. that's life, some sing and dance like demoniacs, others cry and writhe from illness, we live, we chew bread! ... God grant us all health and prudence!
I know there was some debate about using Travolta in this movie, but I honestly cannot imagine anyone else doing this scene justice. All the conflicting emotions written on his face are captivating.
@@euphoriaggaminghd Michael Madsen would be more believable as a hired killer, but he's not as likable. He's very believable as a psycho in Reservoir Dogs.
I first watched this movie when it came out in the 1990s and was immediately drawn in and hooked. Since that day, whenever i was asked about my favorite movie, its been Pulp Fiction by far.
Earlier in this scene Mia talks about how she loves uncomfortable silences and that when you found someone you can share a silence with you found the right person. I think this scene foreshadows their relationship in which they both found each other but can’t follow through due to Marcelo . Also watch the last scene where Mia tells her pilot joke right before they end their date night (pilot) and never have a second date (tv show) again it’s beautiful
All I said was Catch Up, Ketchup . At the end of Uma and Travoltas date she tells him the joke from a TV Pilot she was in but never became a series.. Is that what you're talking about?
Are we not gonna talk about how Chuck Berry was a lifelong sex offender and pervert? I guess it's more important to get an immaculate vibe going than discuss real things 🤷

@@michaelcoleman8996 rewatched the movie and iv changed my mind, didnt really understand it the first time. I still think jules and vincents adventures and bruce williss chapters are better tho
The most iconic dance scene in history from pulp fiction, many people thought this was done in one take but the scene took 4 hrs to film as Tarantino is a perfectionist and during an interview, it was said the whole cast was transfixed watching them xxx
With no hard feelings intended, but this is the kind of dance almost every Indian can do, and almost all of us do this during baraat procession in Indian weddings, therefore I fail to see how this is an iconic performance, song indeed is amazing, but all of the Indian classical dances are way more iconic than this particular performance, may be because West is developing it's culture now after getting civilized modernly, whereas east is way more ahead of west in terms of culture and they are getting modernised now, may be it's just my personal view, but yeah this is how I see it.
@@pranavjoshi2920 I believe you are looking at this scene the wrong way. What makes this performance iconic is not exactly the dance itself. You can most definitely find a better dancing performance elsewhere. What I would like you to remember is that this scene comes from a movie that does not in the slightest prioritize itself with the things that you have mentioned. The actors in this scene are not attempting to display their "dancing prowess," nor present their culture. They are simply following the script they must follow as actors. It is only within context of the film that this particular scene attains its iconic reputation. Which is why I implore you to someday find the time and go to see this masterpiece of a film so you can personally understand the true significance of this dancing scene. TL;DR Your implications on culutural development in the east and west are interesting, to say the least, but I don't believe they have any relation to the meaning of this scene.
Mia dancing and shamelessly being silly yet passionate about her moves. That's when you know you got a special woman that takes you out of your comfort zone
I keep watching this again and again. There may be scenes where the dancing was better but I doubt there's another dancing scene with the same energy and exuberance. Sheer joie de vivre!!!
One of the best movies and probably one of the best dance scenes in all the movies. Loved it. Saw behind the scenes clip, this was pure magic and Tarantino was dancing on the sidelines as they filmed it. Loved this movie and this scene.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23 💙✨
When I was a kid, I watched a lot of Jimmy Neutron. There was an episode that referenced this scene, when Jimmy has a party while his parents and out and him and Betty Quinlan dance on the table and do the dance move that Vincent does at 2:18. When I saw Pulp Fiction for the first time, I almost dropped dead when I realized that the cartoon I watched as a child made reference to this film.
+PsychicRaccoon The cartoon people might have been referencing "Pulp Fiction", but Tarantino himself included the move as a reference to the 1960s "Batman" TV show. Look up "the Batusi".
Perfect music?🤬 according to the soundtrack details this was released in the 60s after Chuck Berry's child sex trafficking conviction. He would go on to re-offend by recording 📹 🎥 women 👩 and girls 👧 👩👧 in the ladies 🚺 bathroom 🚻 without their permission. He had been in prison twice at this point 👉 for sex crimes. CB really shouldn't be celebrated in popular culture 😪
from the comments ....... ahah .. that's life, some sing and dance like demoniacs, others cry and writhe from illness, we live, we chew bread! ... God grant us all health and prudence!
The salesman did a great a great job making people believe this dance is liked by more people than it actually is. After many years learning, this dance, even though it’s good, it’s not as good as they claim it to be. It lacks emotion understandable for the public who has not been influenced to like it, I’d say it needs salt to enhance its flavor. Some other dances are good on their own.
Actually, they lost the competition (to a talented Puerto Rican couple, no doubt), but ended up stealing the trophy, the theft actually making it into the news cycle despite the presence of bigger stories, such as a boxer getting killed in the boxing ring, as well as the report of a gangland murder in a Valley apartment complex, where nobody heard the thirty-six total rounds fired.
in that same year in 1994, John Travolta was the first actor offered the role to play forrest gump but he turned it down and went to pulp fiction. What kind of actor especially someone like John Travolta could turn down a role like that... but imagine what this film would have been like without him
@@kennikuhlmann-clark9860 why would Tom Hanks play vincent vega ? he had nothing to do with it, he weren't even in top 3 list to play forrest gump. John Travolta was selected to play forrest gump thats why i pointed it out. and whats wrong with john travolta playing forrest gump ? I never give a crap about who plays the role its the script and editing I look at and any actor would have gave the same performance. John Travolta can do anything
This movie can be watched all the time and this movie is an absolute masterpiece as a whole and this legendary scene is a big cherry on the surface a real cult of its time
Travolta should've won the Oscar that year. The dancing is fine but he's also showing his discomfort and worry that Marcellus will kill him if he steps over the line with Mia. Lots of tension and so funny too.

what i wouldn’t give to be there in that theater with you dude
Remember, while this was being shot, Tarantino was doing the exact same dance moves behind the camera the entire time.
so what
생각하니까 개웃기네ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Wait
WHY
altovelli08 there is video of him dancing with them, search it up if you haven’t seen it it’s fucking great
@Thomas Corley wuuut ?🤣🤣
The best twist ever! A great tune, great dancing, a classic. Thurman and Travolta are mesmerizing. I’ve watched the video over and over through the years.
Brilliant dance scene,!!!!!!
Travolta and Thurman Rock on!!!!!!
As to me, Thurman is awfull. Travolta - yes, he is good!
@@ОльгаСоболенская-х7з Agree! He's all grace, dance ability, and sex appeal, she's none of those.
Смотрю у же 20 дет лучего ни чего не видела😅😅😅😅
Great scene from what in my humble opinion is one of the truely greatest movies of all time.
these are the only two people who can make dancing like this look absolutely sick

Tarantino told Uma and Travolta (paraphrasing) "I dont want you to dance perfectly, I want you to dance because I want the audience to see you dancing, having fun and enjoy seeing you dancing."
Guess he accomplished his goal.
Travolta, with really just above average dance skills, has been in some of the most iconic dance scenes in movie history. What an awesome scene.
Are u kidding, he can dance!
He has experience with playing in Grease. He can dance!
@@lydiahernandez4700 i love watching him dance 💝
No, man. Travolta was a trained dancer and wanted to become a professional dancer before his knee got injured, after which he went into acting. Tarantino even claimed the extras in the dance scene broke into applause after the take because they thought Travolta's moves were so good.
Have you not seen him in Saturday night fever?!
This dance worth of the whole movie
People who weren't alive back then just can't understand how huge it was to see John Travolta dance up on the big screen again. People who would've NEVER watched a movie like this went just to watch this one scene, and they left happy!
Exact ❤❤❤❤
They didn't win, later in the movie when butch is in his apartment a commercial comes on the tv. It's a jack rabbits slims commercial saying the trophy was stolen
Waaah! I'ma watch this again and get back with you. I"m excited to discover such a detail... If'n you ain't lying...
OMG
Osvaldo Guimarães its in the scene where butch is in Vince's apartment it's on the tv
Really? I could've sworn that when they go back to her house she was holding a trophy. I'm about to go back and watch it.
+DankZesty _ We never saw Vinz Apartment?
My husband and I, do this dance all the time when we get drunk! 😂
Life goals.
Don't reproduce.
I'm going to have to try that with my fella 😂
Yes girl! :-)
😂
Happy 30th Anniversary Pulp Fiction, one of the greatest iconic movies of the 90s and definitely the best film directed by Quentin Tarantino ❤💛
It is amazing how natural and confident Travolta appears on the dance floor. Most of us would look silly and uncoordinated if we tried these moves, but he always seems so at ease-in his element. Whether it be Grease, Michael, Look who's talking, SNF, Pulp Fiction, The Experts, or Urban Cowboy-John is the dance king of his generation. Kudos to Tarantino for bringing back some of the older movie stars and the great music we all know and love !
He is professional. Of course he knows what he is doing.
Saturday night fever, john dominates the dance floor.❤
Travolta has a professional choreographer and 2 weeks of rehearsing this.
BTW: Tarantino was recorded on a video discussing how he scripted that scene.
I’m fairly certain he was a professional dancer before he started acting
Almost every scene in this movie is a classic is some way or another. Pulp Fiction was truly a masterpiece.
because of travolta
glorified horse but great nonetheless
Totally agree, one of my all time favs!!!
@@BillSW more because of Jackson
from the comments ....... ahah .. that's life, some sing and dance like demoniacs, others cry and writhe from illness, we live, we chew bread! ... God grant us all health and prudence!
I know there was some debate about using Travolta in this movie, but I honestly cannot imagine anyone else doing this scene justice. All the conflicting emotions written on his face are captivating.
I think they wanted Gary Oldman and a few other actors for the part at first but Travolta ended up getting it.
@@MrHubert09 Tarantino originally wanted Michael madsen and apparently even Daniel day Lewis was an option but im glad he stuck with Travolta
@@euphoriaggaminghd Michael Madsen would be more believable as a hired killer, but he's not as likable. He's very believable as a psycho in Reservoir Dogs.
@@puepole him and Travolta’s character are brothers in the Tarantino universe too
@@Teddy-hk2qx I think originally there was going to be a movie about the Vega brothers, but it didn’t came to fruition due to scheduling conflicts.
I first watched this movie when it came out in the 1990s and was immediately drawn in and hooked. Since that day, whenever i was asked about my favorite movie, its been Pulp Fiction by far.
Imagine being john travolta and get told to dance good.
He actually in his youth was a professional dancer, which makes this funnier
Well Grease and SNF come to mind. Like he knows how to dance in some movies.
metropolis it not just know how, it make it beautiful and make it to the top.
I’m sure the script was intentionally being ironic
Imagine dancing with John Travolta
Do we all agree that this is one of the most legendary scene in cinema?
Tarantino promotes blood lust....Satanic violence unleashed on the innocent. and you love it.
@@yoretabio4537 Cannot agree with u more
What makes it legendary ?
But..why?? why everyone loved this scene so much? 🙃
I don't know why but there's just something cool and charming about Mia Wallace's dancing
I can't take my eyes off of her
Uma is gangster
@Rooster yes she is.
It's so oddly adorable, I love it
Yes there is. It's her.
This forever will be one of my all time favorite movie !
My wedding dance has been chosen
You need to check out Down the road apiece by the refreshments for a wedding dance , with the old couple dancing .
What about the bride, fella?
@reaniii my wedding dance also has been chosen .
Hi Shoto, are you getting married to Momo?
Mine is chosen as well.
I wish they had clubs like this now
they have clubs sort of like this
Where?
Go to NYC
you're looking in the wrong places, they're everywhere
Not where I come from
Earlier in this scene Mia talks about how she loves uncomfortable silences and that when you found someone you can share a silence with you found the right person. I think this scene foreshadows their relationship in which they both found each other but can’t follow through due to Marcelo . Also watch the last scene where Mia tells her pilot joke right before they end their date night (pilot) and never have a second date (tv show) again it’s beautiful
TV show? Marcello? I thought it was Marsellus....
Catch-up Ketchup
@@tonys4396 Where is the tv show? It doesn't exist.
All I said was Catch Up, Ketchup . At the end of Uma and Travoltas date she tells him the joke from a TV Pilot she was in but never became a series.. Is that what you're talking about?
@@lisajensen9395 ( are used to group an analogy)
I love the way it stretches across the screen
Pretty certain this scene was an excuse by Tarantino to get Uma Thurman's shoes off.
Once again
Cause we all know how Tarantino like his feet 😂
His foot fetish is nasty af but Uma is a goddess as always
@@mikehawk871 I never knew that!
Really? Lol
I hope a moment like this will happen in my life
Mustapha Smoothz same here
The
Yeah it will!
Mustapha Smoothz x4
nahhh
Are we not gonna talk about how IMMACULATE the vibe is.
Nope. I'd rather feel it
Yes it is absolutely!
I have to Google immaculate mean
Are we not gonna talk about how Chuck Berry was a lifelong sex offender and pervert? I guess it's more important to get an immaculate vibe going than discuss real things 🤷
from the comments ....... ahah .. that's life, some sing and dance like demoniacs, others cry and writhe from illness, we live, we chew bread! ... God grant us all health and prudence!
I saw this dance for first time but i already fell in love with its steps. The songs is also good.
One of the most epic scenes in cinematography history! Travolta’s face while dancing gets me every time! 😍

This scene made the film ! Unforgettable !
The whole movie is unforgettable

This scene just never gets old lol
The iconic scene for ever
I love Vincent's change in demeanour from "no, no, no", to "alright, Mia", just before they dance. It's subtle but done so well by Travolta.
He low-key wanted to dance 🤣🤣
There was a cut after he said no, and before his "change in demeanor." No continuity at all that I could see.
I mean honestly hes babysitting a girl thats his bosses wife. I wouldnt want to do a damn thing, especially knowing how ruthless her husband is. Damn this was a great movie, full of flavor and iconic characters.
@@Kermit_T_Frog kinda larry david " curb your enthusiasm" style lmao I love how in one scene they smiling then they cut to them being serious or something lmao the best editing.
He didn't have any choice ha
This was my favorite chapter of the entire film
Or the last one
@@joshcare8532 last one was so unsatisfying
@@liamomaonaigh9743 how could you say that? The diner scene is so iconic
@@michaelcoleman8996 rewatched the movie and iv changed my mind, didnt really understand it the first time. I still think jules and vincents adventures and bruce williss chapters are better tho
The most iconic dance scene in history from pulp fiction, many people thought this was done in one take but the scene took 4 hrs to film as Tarantino is a perfectionist and during an interview, it was said the whole cast was transfixed watching them xxx
and now I am more interested in a documentary about the filming of the dance, than the dance itself.
With no hard feelings intended, but this is the kind of dance almost every Indian can do, and almost all of us do this during baraat procession in Indian weddings, therefore I fail to see how this is an iconic performance, song indeed is amazing, but all of the Indian classical dances are way more iconic than this particular performance, may be because West is developing it's culture now after getting civilized modernly, whereas east is way more ahead of west in terms of culture and they are getting modernised now, may be it's just my personal view, but yeah this is how I see it.
@@pranavjoshi2920 whats your definition of culture in this case?
@@pranavjoshi2920 it's iconic because it's cheesy not because it's a good dance, lol.
@@pranavjoshi2920 I believe you are looking at this scene the wrong way. What makes this performance iconic is not exactly the dance itself. You can most definitely find a better dancing performance elsewhere. What I would like you to remember is that this scene comes from a movie that does not in the slightest prioritize itself with the things that you have mentioned. The actors in this scene are not attempting to display their "dancing prowess," nor present their culture. They are simply following the script they must follow as actors. It is only within context of the film that this particular scene attains its iconic reputation. Which is why I implore you to someday find the time and go to see this masterpiece of a film so you can personally understand the true significance of this dancing scene.
TL;DR
Your implications on culutural development in the east and west are interesting, to say the least, but I don't believe they have any relation to the meaning of this scene.
Iconic dance. Very funny too 😂 80 millions came watching the video to learning about dancing 😂
Mia dancing and shamelessly being silly yet passionate about her moves. That's when you know you got a special woman that takes you out of your comfort zone
she's trying to hit Vincent
Vincent is a good dancer and he’s high so he doesn’t really feel nervous, he probably just feels like he’ll get too close to her if he dances.
thats right
Mia is on coke and Vincent is on heroin. That's why she's fast and jerky and he's slow and smooth.
I keep watching this again and again. There may be scenes where the dancing was better but I doubt there's another dancing scene with the same energy and exuberance. Sheer joie de vivre!!!
Hair style of Mia Wallace is very pretty.
It looks good on her. It seems like the females who can pull it off are pretty.
I LOVE IT SO MUCH GOD DAMN IT
IM SO LONELY
Open Text i would look like Dora with it
I will share this clip to my partner and i will recreate this one at my wedding 😭❤
One of the best movies and probably one of the best dance scenes in all the movies. Loved it. Saw behind the scenes clip, this was pure magic and Tarantino was dancing on the sidelines as they filmed it. Loved this movie and this scene.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23 💙✨
Yes I seen that too I was laughing when Tarantino was dancing he had fun 🤗
@@lizkozlowski5771 :) :) It was the best, was laughing and smiling, great scene.
When I was a kid, I watched a lot of Jimmy Neutron. There was an episode that referenced this scene, when Jimmy has a party while his parents and out and him and Betty Quinlan dance on the table and do the dance move that Vincent does at 2:18. When I saw Pulp Fiction for the first time, I almost dropped dead when I realized that the cartoon I watched as a child made reference to this film.
+PsychicRaccoon The cartoon people might have been referencing "Pulp Fiction", but Tarantino himself included the move as a reference to the 1960s "Batman" TV show. Look up "the Batusi".
+TheInflicted it's actually called the batdance. Batman does it in an episode of the original 60s series
I Remember that episode
You guys just blew my fucking mind
nickleodeon give zero fucks
When he goes up on tip-toe and takes his twist to another level.
I noticed that too. He was almost en pointe in socks. Such an amazing dancer!
Yeap :-)
He’s so cool!
It's crazy how entertaining this is
Total perfection, perfect music perfectly performed, perfectly danced, perfectly choreographed, perfectly photographed with the perfect actors.
its rather banal ...
Perfect music?🤬 according to the soundtrack details this was released in the 60s after Chuck Berry's child sex trafficking conviction. He would go on to re-offend by recording 📹 🎥 women 👩 and girls 👧 👩👧 in the ladies 🚺 bathroom 🚻 without their permission. He had been in prison twice at this point 👉 for sex crimes. CB really shouldn't be celebrated in popular culture 😪
from the comments ....... ahah .. that's life, some sing and dance like demoniacs, others cry and writhe from illness, we live, we chew bread! ... God grant us all health and prudence!
The salesman did a great a great job making people believe this dance is liked by more people than it actually is. After many years learning, this dance, even though it’s good, it’s not as good as they claim it to be.
It lacks emotion understandable for the public who has not been influenced to like it, I’d say it needs salt to enhance its flavor. Some other dances are good on their own.
Actually, they lost the competition (to a talented Puerto Rican couple, no doubt), but ended up stealing the trophy, the theft actually making it into the news cycle despite the presence of bigger stories, such as a boxer getting killed in the boxing ring, as well as the report of a gangland murder in a Valley apartment complex, where nobody heard the thirty-six total rounds fired.
I love how Mia leads and Vincent adjusts to follow and make it look good. He a good dancer.
in that same year in 1994, John Travolta was the first actor offered the role to play forrest gump but he turned it down and went to pulp fiction. What kind of actor especially someone like John Travolta could turn down a role like that... but imagine what this film would have been like without him
@@Gencturk92 Haha... could you imagine Tom Hanks playing Vincent Vega, and John Travolta playing Gump, in a simple twist of fate?
@@kennikuhlmann-clark9860 why would Tom Hanks play vincent vega ? he had nothing to do with it, he weren't even in top 3 list to play forrest gump. John Travolta was selected to play forrest gump thats why i pointed it out.
and whats wrong with john travolta playing forrest gump ? I never give a crap about who plays the role its the script and editing I look at and any actor would have gave the same performance. John Travolta can do anything
Grease probably helped
@@sisingh3549 I'm thinking Saturday Night Fever and Staying Alive helped even more. ruclips.net/video/LUID0jSh2Ic/видео.html
1977 - Saturday Night Fever
1978 - Grease
1994 - Pulp Fiction
John Travolta rules movie dancing!
bellissima scena!
marc80s and staying alive :D
what about Staying Alive (1983) , great movie!

This is one of my favorite scenes in this movie and Uma Thurman and John Travolta were badass.

I could watch them dance all day. It's like thinking of a good comeback but it's far too late, so you just imagine how smooth it could've been.
This movie can be watched all the time and this movie is an absolute masterpiece as a whole and this legendary scene is a big cherry on the surface a real cult of its time

Epic movie. Best script ever, I can remember almost all of the lines
You remember the whole script holy shit?

@@Thatonegirl989 this movie can watched over and over again. I am enjoying the dialogue each and every time
I love how since this was a serious film, it wasn’t expected for Travolta to dance, but he did anyways. Another masterpiece by Tarantino
