Description:
An all-star castincluding Tom Hulce (Amadeus), Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio (The Perfect Storm), Virginia Madsen (The Haunting), Adam Ant (Nomads) and Harry Dean Stanton(The Green Mile)enlivens the stark stylishness of this 'stunning, cold neo-punk tale of murder and madness (Los Angeles Times)! Underground L.A. artist C.C. Drood (Hulce) courts danger and excitement when he begins an illicit affair with a high-class call girl (Madsen). But he gets more than he bargains for when she is found dead in his home, and he's being framed for her murder! Now, pursued by crooked cops and with nowhere to turn, Drood makes a desperate attempt to reclaimhis life and stay alive!

Contrary to what other reviews say about this little movie, I love it. I saw it when it first came out, have seen a couple of times since, and recently watched it again on tv. It still held up. It has a quirky style and the surprise ending is wonderful! Tom Hulce is great in it, Virginia Madsen her usual sexy self and I love the little girl who played Bean. It's not a great movie but it does have charm and wit. I hope you give it a try....

Slam Dance tells the story of a Los Angeles loser named Drood who looks like Amadeus and draws unfunny cartoons for a living. He has an ex-wife with an out-of-control perm who works in a day care with a bunch of kids that look like they take the short bus (one of them hits Drood in the crotch with a rubber chicken). He also has a little daughter named Bean who likes him to take his teeth out and runs in during inappropriate moments like when Drood mistakes a nude prostitute for a secretary (don't ... Read More

Apparently when this was first released it was largely ignored and it should have stayed that way. While Adam Ant was memorable in this film, the other actors should wipe it from their resumes. Hulce, the star of "Amadeus" was over-the-top, an over-emoting unbelievable character. At times the editing was confusing as the movie darted about. The only good thing I can find to say about this is that it is over. To compare this to Hitchcock is an insult to Hitchcock! Though I may stand alone in my opinion ... Read More

I originally watched this movie only becuase I'm an avid Adam Ant fan. I was totally suprised at what a sleeper hit this was. I'm not sure how a movie with Tom Hulce, hot off his Amadeus film, and Mary Elizabeth Mastratonio could have been missed at the box office. Adam Ant play his typical bad boy part with great zeal. A movie that will keep you watching and wondering. Also, a great part of the Police Detective played admirably by Harry Dean Stanton.

Indie director Wayne Wang ("Chan Is Missing") was given a shot at a higher budget film and proved to be quite a stylish moviemaker with this largely ignored thriller from the late 80's. Almost universally panned by critics at the time of release (for no readily apparent reasons) this is one movie that deserves a second appraisal; I think it's one of the better of the 80's crop of stylish "neo noirs"--on a par with "Someone To Watch Over Me", "The Bedroom Window" and "Something Wild". Wang uses the classic ... Read More
