Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesThe soundtrack was an enormous success. The song "Magic" went to #1 on the US pop singles chart. In the UK the soundtrack album peaked at #2, and the single "Xanadu" was #1 for two weeks in July 1980.
- PatzerIn the opening shots of the "All Over the World" sequence, outside the entrance to the clothing boutique, the mannequin furthest from the camera shouts out counts to keep the dancers together. The only audio heard at that point is the prerecorded song, but his lips are very clearly moving.
- Zitate
Danny McGuire: Hey, do you like Glenn Miller?
Sonny: Do you like rock 'n' roll?
Danny McGuire: I love rock 'n' roll.
Sonny: I love Glenn Miller.
- Crazy CreditsOpens with the 1930s-era Universal logo, with an airplane circling a globe; then it becomes a 50s-era passenger plane, then the Concorde, then the fourth time around as it becomes a spaceship. Instrumentals of "Whenever You're Away From Me" and "Xanadu" play under this, with musical styles matching the period of each aircraft.
- Alternative VersionenThe original theatrical release uses the 1963 Universal logo at the end and then shows the PG rating slide. The 1994 VHS release (while retaining the Universal logo at the end), strangely replaces the PG rating slide with a GP rating slide (the original name for the PG rating from 1969 to 1972), also including an advertisement for Universal Studios. The 1999 DVD restores the proper PG rating slide, however the 1963 Universal logo is removed. The 2001 Australian DVD does not have any rating slides or Universal logos at the end. The 2008 DVD restores both the 1963 Universal logo and the original PG rating slide, making it a more accurate representation of the original theatrical release.
- VerbindungenEdited into Electric Light Orchestra: All Over the World (1980)
Ausgewählte Rezension
Although some might call this "Xanadon't" it has redeeming qualities. The music is the most redeeming. I've always liked ELO and their music carries this film.
Several movies of this type were made about the same time: "Roller Boogie", "Skatetown U.S.A.", etc. If you liked any of these you'll most likely like Xanadu.
This is one of those films you just have to watch and decide for yourself. As you can see just by what's been written here, opinions vary tremendously. And all are valid.
I gave this movie a 6 of 10 because I liked the music and sets.
Just try it. You may like it.
