The greatest 1980s dance-off movie you’ve never seen, Sidney Poitier’s Fast Forward has everything you could want from an 80s musical – plucky youngsters making it in the big city, so many leotards, ubiquitous dance rehearsals and home-decorating montages, punked out grannies, a flash mob in a snooty uptown restaurant, dance battles in the club, class struggle, AND a battle of the bands! When a singing and dancing musical group move from Ohio to the Big Apple (and naturally rent a one bedroom in the slums for 8 people) they’ve got stars in their eyes and a battle of the bands in their sights! But first they’ve got to head to the clubs and get shamed for not being hip to the street before integrating more hip-hop moves into their repertoire before the big competition. With a soundtrack supervised by Quincy Jones and featuring original banger after banger, this treasure doesn’t disappoint! If you love an 80s musical or the Step Up franchise and have not seen this unsung classic before, do not wait! Celebrating its 40th Anniversary and rarely screened theatrically (if ever – we can’t find any listings!) in the last 40 years, you may never get your chance to watch this camptacular musical on the big screen again!
