Fun Stuff

Trivia:

While shooting a scene on-location in New York City, Olivia Newton-John was bitten by a dog named "Pascha." The Collie/German shepherd mix lived in the neighborhood and was hired along with his owner as an extra. When Olivia approached them asking to pet the dog, the owner warned her that Pascha was afraid of crowds. Leaning in to pet him anyway, she was bitten on the hand. Needless to say, this ended Pascha's movie career, and they filmed the scene without him. Olivia braved the injury and kept on working. more

Yes, This film Deserves A second Chance!!!, 4 July 2000

Author: thespian01 from Monroe, Michigan

This movie is a classic(well at least a cult classic!) You have Travolta and Olivia back together,a very cute premise,And a splash of drama mixed in with the comedy! The chemistry between John and Olivia is turned up another notch in this vehicle,and Olivia Swears!!! (that was the reason a lot of us went to see it again and again) and although not a musical,you have one of the greatest 80's power pop anthems,Twist of Fate!! This is the only Film Livvy did during her Hot Blooded Vamp days, So if you like you Diva from Down under with an Attitude, T.O.A.K. is the flick for you!!!
