**Screenwriter**: Richard Wesley **Producer**: John Veitch 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! **Picks from the Video Store**: Love an 80s musical?
