Dirty Dancing - how have I only just noticed?!

In the scene where Lisa goes to see Robbie, she’s shocked that he’s in bed with another woman. I’ve only just realised that woman is Vivian (older lady who wants to have ‘extra dance lessons’ with Johnny! How have I never realised this?! Please tell me I’m not the only one!

Sorry yes you are

Anotheryearsameshitshow · 01/01/2023 19:14

I saw that last year!! After 30 plus years of watching it!

CeriB82 · 01/01/2023 19:14

You are late to the party!

KatieGalPal · 01/01/2023 19:15

Sorry OP I think you might be the only one 🙈. Because when she leaves his Chalet she looks up the hill and sees Baby leaving Johnnys and that’s when she knows she’s been dumped for Baby so accuses Johnny of being the purse thief to get back at him

Definitely just you 👀

Karwomannghia · 01/01/2023 19:16

Yeah she’s one of the rich ladies who smell so good etc and shags the staff for tips while her husband gambles.

1AngelicFruitCake · 01/01/2023 19:25

😄 ok just me!

What!?

HannaHat · 01/01/2023 20:20

Aah come on, there's a few of you?! I made my daughter watch it thee other day, I'll have to ask her if she realised 🧐

Sillybanana · 01/01/2023 20:23

I didn’t realise that until today either! What the hell 😂

Pocketfullofdogtreats · 01/01/2023 20:33

Of course it's her!
What I don't understand is where all the chairs go at the end. One minute there's loads of people sitting down, and Johnny and the dancers are dancing down the aisle, and the next, everyone is up and dancing and the chairs have vanished!

Eatentoomanyroses · 01/01/2023 20:33

I think I noticed that when I was 15

See, this I’ve always noticed! The dancers encourage people up and swiftly move the chairs away😄

I just remember noticing that baby was wearing white knickers in the aftermath of the sex scene. Think she was supposed to be naked but the camera show a glimpse of them. Thought I was great noticing.

There is a whole host of DD bloopers if you Google - such as the mom briefly glimpsed at the beginning being a different actress.

SerenadeOfTheSchoolRun · 01/01/2023 21:57

It took me loads of watches over many years to notice but I did eventually about 5 years ago!

Cas112 · 01/01/2023 22:06

How did you never realise 😂😂😂😂

Anotheryearsameshitshow · 01/01/2023 22:07

Tbh I never take much notice of anything but Patrick Swayze!!

mnahmnah · 01/01/2023 22:09

Can I just add - prepare yourself - that despite her being a ‘lonely older woman’ that Johnnie is ‘entertaining’ - the actress was actually 37!!!

BluebirdRobin · 01/01/2023 22:10

Ah it's easy when you're really young to notice these things! 😁 I didn't even realise penny had an illegal abortion until years later! Even though the whole film is centred around baby filling in for penny and learning to dance so this abortion could happen 🤦🏼‍♀️

In one breath Tito Suarez and Mr Kellerman discuss needing sheet music, the next the band is playing and he's conducting without any issues

chosenone · 01/01/2023 22:31

I’m sure I saw a glimpse of a crash mat in the dancing on the log scene before! I have watched it millions of times but don’t always see it 🤷‍♀️

1AngelicFruitCake · 01/01/2023 22:44

The ‘older woman’ was 37?!😱😄
Ill have to google the bloopers.

No idea how I didn’t realise! After googling trivia about DD I’ve found out the actress playing the mum was cast to be Vivian but stepped in when the mum actress was ill (that’s why you see a blonde woman as mum at the start). Off to google more trivia…
