As someone who lived in the '80s, it wasn't the tennis racquets. Its the motion. The ball is moving, seemingly flying through the air. And it's all clearly motorized, but that's fascinating. It's like being on a Disney ride with the audio animatronics. The racquets as the crowd, and them turning to watch the ball is also interesting. Remember, these are people who had 4 television channels and no cellphones. They walked down the street to and from work every day and on their lunch break. Making the store look interesting would hopefully bring in customers. And a window that had audio animatronics, or at least animatronics in the window would be slightly below Disney level interesting. Even in the 2010s, when I would walk around the city I worked on during my lunch break, it was to see interesting new things. The place I worked, they did an annual sponsored sculpture festival, where different local businesses would sponsor a sculpture, and they were given 1 of maybe 2 or 4 designs, and then they had to paint it or otherwise decorate it for that year's contest. And that made walking around the place more interesting and generally beautified the city. So while the crowds in the early morning are maybe a bit overblown for the purpose of the story, I would totally stand outside a window like that and watch it for a little bit on my lunch break while my brain was resetting from staring at a Microsoft Word all day. You have to appreciate the small things when you find them.
Thats awesome to read, i can totally imagine it. In the Netherlands we have a department store Bijenkorf, and in the biggest cities they still do intricate, themed, motorised and moving displays. So i get what you’re describing :D
As someone who lived then, we didn't have jointed mannequins. Today's modern displays of clothing are boring. The old fashioned mannequins with makeup and eyelashes were fascinating. Sometimes a store would have actual people dressed up who just held really still for a long time. Mixed in with real mannequins. I guess a good start for young people who want to be models. Sometimes you couldn't tell and would have to examine them for awhile to find the real people. I remember getting real clos and looking at their faces. They gotta blink sometime!! The artwork painting the mannequins was stellar. Eyes were glossy and looked real. So to have mannequins jointed in ways to ride bikes, PLUS the power and electric knowledge to make them move smoothly all day long, well I'm not sure it'd really be possible with that technology at the time. I think they're made of wood so they'd be too heavy. I worked at a computer store in the early 80's and had an idea to carve a pumpkin for the front window for Halloween. I got the repair technician to design LED eyes so that it looked like the pumpkin was looking left and right. A row of red LED lights, but hooked to a system that lit one light in each eye at the same time. This was between 81-83. It wasn't a fire hazard either. It was a big hit. We couldn't use the Xmas tree lights available at the time or leave unattended overnight for Xmas holidays.
@@recoveringsoul755 Oh, the living mannequins were so cool. And I definitely like the old style compared to the modern blank white figures. Clearly making the mannequins move was capable with the technology. Mannequin was made in the 1980s. If you want to see what the '80s felt like for day to day living, Mannequin is so '80s it hurts. All the clothes ... Anyway, we had the tech. But you'd really have to order specialized mannequins for something like the bike riding scene. Those are all specialized joints. I don't think many people bought them.
@jenniferhanses I think the sheer weight of carved wood mannequins would be prohibitive for this type of movement. They'd need to be hollow, or lighter weight plastic or something. Or you'd need really strong motors

My parents used to go out to dinner and leave me to watch my younger sisters. It seemed like Mannequin, Big Trouble in Little China, Howard the Duck, and The Secret of my Success were always on HBO or Showtime. We probably saw them all 100 times. Now when I see them I always think, "Omg, I can't believe an 11-12 year old me was not only in charge of babysitting myself and 6 & 7 year old sisters, but that these types of movies were how we spent our time." Oh, what a time to be alive. 😂Thanks for covering this movie. It's such a slice of nostalgia.

It's annoying. And we don't need the foul language for a fun family movie like this. My boyfriend at the time had a thing for Kim Cattral after this movie, plus a thing for elevators. And he'd force me to go shopping and refer to me as his life sized Barbie doll
@@recoveringsoul755 Kim Cattrall, huh? I would have kicked him in the dick for bad taste in movies and actresses. But, yeah, no need for all the shitty language. Hahaha psych! I see what you're doing.
I worked at JC Penny in the late 1980’s and the window dressing / display guys were absolutely the first and most out gay men I had met to that date. They were very kind and I wish I could remember their names.
I used to do windows at department stores, back when there was still some artistry to the profession. We used to laugh at the sheer campiness of this movie.
I was looking for this in the comments! Looking for a reference to a much older MYTH Pygmalion than Pinocchio. Why they talk about pinocchio but no Pygmalion. So sad. And thank you.
Movies like this from this era that ended up in heavy rotation on HBO are seared into my subconscious. Dragnet, Spaceballs, and Inner Space come to mind
@howardmurphy743 Many movies made in the past would not be made today because "modern audiences" would get offended. Many of these older films have themes or scenes or jokes that are sexist or racist, but it was a different time hence "the past was doin' its best!" ***Disclaimer - I'm not offended by these old movies, 80s movies are my favorite.

@@sarahfuller5482 "Oh, it's okay. You don't need to be scared of me. I'm not one of those murder mannequins or satanic mannequins. I'm just a store mannequin that came to life."
So you'd know, that bicycle display, that feels like it'd take some work to get set up. Like with the clip I was just thinking "to be fair, that does seem impressive." Like I don't think the stock parts are designed for motion right, so you'd have to rig up some custom stuff for everything below the waist for each one.
@@jnnxno, when you lived in the 80’s and 90’s you never looked anything up because there was no internet at all. It took me years to discover songs I’d heard in a movie I never saw again..

Like obviously my taste has increased many fold since I saw this in the theater in 1987-88. But to give you some perspective of how I felt about this movie when I was 15. When I walked out of the theater I said out loud but to myself (latch key kid) "this is the best movie I have ever seen!". ... long sigh... simpler times
Awesome video! When I was young I thought the Pizza Hut glasses were from the movie Mannequin.. I thought that was an odd endorsement. Movie was ahead of it's time.. now you can get your own Mannequin custom made for about 8k...ummm a friend told me this.
Your ability for storytelling is a talent I have not heard in a long time. You remind me of an old friend that had the same skill and he would always make people laugh wherever he went❤ definitely subscribing to you. Thank you for the laughs and reminding me of good times with friends.
OMG! I'm sooooo glad that I accidentally stumbled on this video today. I was in stitches while I watched this video - the most laughing I've done all day. Of course, I had to immediately sub to your channel. Great stuff guys! Thanks so much. Needed a good laugh today.
Hollywood (the person) though built with so many cliches was one of the best characters, still more developed then many modern movies. "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" not being mentioned is a missed opportunity but I know music copyrights is a pain. For the record Mannequin is a remake of Pygmalion where a sculptor fall in love with his sculpture.. very cultured stuff here folks.
It's a modern retelling of a Greek myth about a sculptor named Pygmalion who falls in love with his sculpture. Aphrodite makes her real.
Just about to say that!! Though with a lot more hijinks and 80s hair!!
I didn't know that
And he called the sculpture Galateia
Yes. That was driving me nuts when they said Pinocchio. No. It's got nothing to do with that.
Also why there's not too much action in the middle. The "shopping" montage is actually a montage of the leads falling in love because it's a romance. They're basically playing and having a great time while also getting work done.
Oh, coming years will make it real. People will fall in love with robots that are very much human-like.
I'm crying. This movie made so much sense to me when I was 12! Now I'm like "What is HAPPENING??" 🤣
If you rewatch it, it will still make sense. It's just a silly premise, but the plot itself is fine.

When I walked out of the theater I said out loud but to myself (latch key kid) "this is the best movie I have ever seen!". ... long sigh... simpler times
Hey... I laughed so hard watching some Charlie Chaplin retrospective I peed my pants. I was 4 though.
I said that about the knight rider movie when i was a kid
@@cabana85 we all have our "movies" how about guilty pleasures? Mine for sure is Xanadu
Mannequin is certainly a guilty pleasure for me. But this channel should definitely do an episode on Xanadu
I dont know how you ended up in my suggested videos, but as a child of the 80's I loved it! 😂
=) Stallone with the pink Cadillac would be perfect
theres already a movie about Clint Eastwood in Pink Cadillac. And so its named.
A silly comedy of pure gold, and your comment is very timely, congratulations
The final part is perfect.
The one doing the commentary is hilarious and the other one's laughter just cracks me up even more 😂😂😂
Thank you YT algorithm for this suggestion today 😂
My favorite UA-cam channel. I look forward to these more than my paycheck.
Wow! Thank you so much!
Awesome video! When I was young I thought the Pizza Hut glasses were from the movie Mannequin.. I thought that was an odd endorsement. Movie was ahead of it's time.. now you can get your own Mannequin custom made for about 8k...ummm a friend told me this.
This has got to be one of my most favorite youtube channels of all time.
Dam it (slams hand on table) I can't stand how much you guys make me laugh so hard...it's as if I've won the genius comedic lottery.
I've seen this movie a 1000 times. I don't remember the bikes.... Lol, awesome
Your ability for storytelling is a talent I have not heard in a long time. You remind me of an old friend that had the same skill and he would always make people laugh wherever he went❤ definitely subscribing to you. Thank you for the laughs and reminding me of good times with friends.
The whole reason I watched this movie was because Starship made a song just for this movie that goes way too hard.
lmao I don't know if this is intentional but the audio synching up at 5:47 is pure gold. Such a great show guys, thanks.
Happens once every couple of videos, I swear! Great observation.
I watched this when I was young and thought the window displays were soooo magical. This video made me laugh sooo hard. You are magical.
Mannequine was filmed at Woolworth's. Boys II Men still keepin' up the beat. Freedom of 76! Mang.
OMG! I'm sooooo glad that I accidentally stumbled on this video today. I was in stitches while I watched this video - the most laughing I've done all day. Of course, I had to immediately sub to your channel. Great stuff guys! Thanks so much. Needed a good laugh today.
Thank you!
I loved this movie back in the day. I still quote it. "Hi, I'm a squid!"
I'm sold on the magic tennis ball.
I never saw this movie back in thr say but the music video for “Nothing’s gonna stop us now” pretty much showed the whole thing 😂
This was recommended and now I’m subscribed. I lol’d for reals.
Hollywood (the person) though built with so many cliches was one of the best characters, still more developed then many modern movies. "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" not being mentioned is a missed opportunity but I know music copyrights is a pain. For the record Mannequin is a remake of Pygmalion where a sculptor fall in love with his sculpture.. very cultured stuff here folks.
Oh my! I found this channel today and I love it! The guy laughing in the background makes it funnier!
Pinocchio wasn't an "Egyptian princess" who wanted more out of life 😂
