What Did Kevin Bacon Say About Footloose In His Podcast?
In the recent episode of his podcast, Bacon recalled the ending scenes of the movie, and as he got nostalgic, the actor shared, "The ending of Footloose has this big dance sequence, and in the original, when we originally shot it in Utah, it went into slow motion. "When they tested the movie, everybody said, 'We don't want slow motion; we want to see people getting down. We want to feel the music and see everybody rocking out.'"
Speaking of the changes made in the dance sequence, the actor claimed, "So we went to California a year later and reshot the ending but not in slow motion, with new choreography and new dancers and a whole bunch of new things. It definitely helped the movie a lot."
Kevin Bacon also shared his thoughts on a potential sequel, stating that he believes it would be disastrous.
