OK, I am a movie buff and I am totally stumped! It’s driving me crazy. Does anybody know what movie has a main character dancing to Jumpin’ Jack Flash and looking pretty silly doing it? I can see it plain as day in my mind. I think it’s a late 80’s early 90’s movie but I can’t remember and it’s driving me crazy!
HELP!!!

Whoopi Goldberg in Jumpin’ Jack Flash???
It’s Whoopi Goldberg in (I think!) Jumpin Jack Flash. Did you put that into IMDB?
Yeah, I think I remember a dance scene, but I looked it up and there are 2 versions of the song in the movie. One by Aretha and the other by the Stones of course. So I’m pretty sure that is the one you’re thinking of…The movie is listed as from 1986.
I love the version by Aretha Franklin. Keith Richards produced it and played guitar. No wonder you couldn’t remember the name of the movie since it’s the same darned name as the song.
Thanks for your help. I do htink you are right about Whoopi Goldberg. I will have to look it up to see if it is what I am thinking about.
I’m trying to find that clip and am having no luck!
