Line 3:
** "Magic" was a hit to the point where most people who have heard it have no idea it was originally from a motion picture soundtrack.
* [[Critical Research Failure]]: Zeus and Hera claim not to know about human emotions. Y'know, the poster gods for [[Anything That Moves]] and [[Clingy Jealous Girl]].
* [[Cult Classic]]: This had the bad fortune to be made while disco was dying, and flopped as a result. These days it's a cult film with women [[Vindicated Byby Cable|who watched it on cable as young girls]] and gay men who liked the massive amount of camp, music, and the hopeful message in the movie.
* [[Ear Worm]]: Horrifyingly.
* [[Fan Yay]]
Line 9:
* [[So Bad It's Good]]: Despite the film's many flaws, it manages to be entertaining. As a double-bill alongside ''Can't Stop the Music'' (another disco musical that toplined the [[Village People]]), it inspired John Wilson to create the Golden Raspberry Awards. Perhaps a telling sign of the film's quality is the fact that he admits to re-watching it once in a while.
* [[Special Effect Failure]]
* [[Vindicated Byby Cable]]: The movie was trashed by critics but it picked up its core audience on pay cable channels.
** Especially in the early 80s era, when HBO (which until 1981 didn't even operate on a 24-hour schedule) had a very small library of movies to air.
