Trivia
This film is the only ever full disco movie to win an Academy Award for music. The film won the Best Original Song Oscar in 1979 for the song "Last Dance" sung by Donna Summer. The song also won the Golden Globe Award that year for Best Song. In the USA in 1978, "Last Dance" went to number three on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and topped the Hot Disco Action Chart (now the Hot Dance Club Play chart) for six weeks. See more »Goofs
Audio/visual unsynchronized: Shortly after the start of the film, Alec R Costandinos' "Romeo and Juliet", which is released by Casablanca, is heard on the soundtrack, but a different record (on the maroon-and-yellow Gordy label) is shown playing in the DJ booth. See more »Quotes
Bobby Speed: Hey listen man. When I, Bobby Speed, promises his audience live music, he delivers.Voice of Sam: You'd better, turkey, or you'll be back at the supermarket announcin' specials!
