Who Cleans Up All That Water?
The most iconic thing in Flashdance is a chair, a pulley and a bucket of water.
You have seen it parodied even if you have never seen the movie. But who is cleaning all of that up for the next act?

The Big Reveal: She's A Girl
The big twist of Flashdance is that the welder is a girl.
Her mask says Alex, so you assume it is a guy. Then she takes it off, whips the 80s hair around, and they were done having ideas.

Breakdancing Gave Us Half Of Gymnastics
Li Li's backspin on beam. Casey Jo Magee on floor. Air flairs. All of it came from breakdancing.
The breakdance flair and the Thomas flair were invented at around the same time. Breakdance historians, write in and let us know who was first.

I Said No Credit Twice Out Loud
I literally said the words no credit out loud. Twice.
Flashdance's big audition is a delightful scene that has nothing to do with anything, and it is very clear proof of how gymnastics ruins you.

Who Should Do The Manhunt Routine
Who could actually pull off the Manhunt routine today?

How Not To Shoot Women's Gymnastics
The European broadcaster did not need to publish a guide on how not to shoot women's gymnastics.
They could have just screened Maniac and screamed DON'T. It would have said exactly the same thing.

That Wall Flip Was Zero Points
Zero points. No value part credit. You did not land feet first.
The run-up-the-wall backflip gets cut one frame before a face-first landing, and the stunt double is visibly planting on all fours.

They're Not Judging You For Being Poor
2 hours ago
They are not judging you because you're poor. They are judging you because you have never done ballet.
It's 1983, not 1883. Everyone knows other kinds of dance exist. This is a ballet company.
