Dirty Dancing: Difference between revisions

Line 36:

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Jake.

* [[One Head Taller]]: Johnny's hands are longer than Baby's ''waist''.

* [[The Other Marty]]: Originally, Marge was played by Lynn Lipton, who is briefly seen in the beginning when the Houseman family first pulls into Kellerman's (she is in the front seat for a few seconds; her blonde hair is the only indication). Unfortunately, however, she became ill during the first week of shooting and was replaced by Kelly Bishop, who had already been cast to play Vivian. Ms. Bishop initially expressed reservations about the role of Marge, but Jerry Orbach convinced her to accept the role, telling her "Take it. It's much nicer." To play the role of Vivian, Miranda Garrison stepped in.

* [[Overprotective Dad]]: Baby's father tries to shelter her from the world, but unlike many examples of this trope, isn't overly smothering and deeply trusts her. The real conflict happens when he has a misunderstanding about Johnny and Penny's need for an abortion.

* [[Parenthetical Swearing]]: "He wouldn't know a new idea if it hit him in his pachanga!"
