One of the most iconic 80’s movie scenes ever. Such an awesome soundtrack too. I still have my cassette tape copy lol

[richardalcocer]

The lomg lens shot of the slow tractors had me rolling 😅😅

[TheWarshire]

I have seen this movie and sceen so many times that i literally know eqch sound the tractors will make in stride with the song. Still one of my 5 favorite movies of all time

[davidhamblin]

That canal is behind my work. I ask a couple of my co workers if they wanna reenact footloose (we have forklifts though) at least once every other month lol.

Then years later, Kevin would operate again a Bulldozer in Tremors

I remember watching the movie for the first time in the theater. The audience roared with laughter when his shoes got caught in the equipment.

That whole valley is full of houses now, time changes quick.

Did they just use this song for EVERY moment in the movie!?

[wlbjohndeere]

Listen yall I’m a big time tractor lover and collector and I’ve loved this movie my whole life especially this scene and if ya really think bout it that Massy Ferguson that rolled over prolly didn’t even get that damaged cause the loader was up pretty high and is strong enough to hold that tractor off the ground and tractor roll overs happen a lot I’ve seen it happen and after they do most of the time the tractor is still usable and not damaged that bad and is fixable most of the time

[IndefiniteGentlemen]

Oh, I get it now. its a comedy. I mean-- tractor chicken? so much better that they didn't speed it up or something.

[chequehook]

Bonnie T, one of the best singers ever!

[bryanstone]

I didn't know that Illinois had such big mountains lol

[Imdatnnja]

Still watching in 2025 remember watching this as a toddler

[djwheels]

As I type this I am in my hometown djaying a town party and I may have just invited some danger! I asked if anybody had a couple tractors to reinact this scene!!! I’m holding out for a hero and a tractor.

[bradhedgehog]

Any way you can Remove the Bleep nose. I can nearly hear the swears with the song and yelling

[starcherry]

Lol you can tell these teens were bored as hell if this is what they came up w/ for fun!

[oscarkoop]

I don't think this song and this scene exactly go together. This song worked better in short circut 2.

[sethterwilliger]

sad part is that kids of today think the remake is better then this classic

[BradleyWalker-zx]

Poor bloke couldn’t get his footloose ….
