Hey everyone! I rewatched Girls Just Want to Have Fun, American Dreamer, and Adventures in Babysitting not too long ago, and I discovered a weird trend: all of these movies have scenes with a girl hanging upside down! Crazy, huh? What are the odds??!! This inspired me (since it's summer and I'm bored) to compile a list of all the movie scenes from 80s films/TV where girls are upside down! Hanging on monkey bars, sitting on a bed or couch, tied up, whatever! Help me add to this list, for fun! 😊 Please be detailed about the scene, if you can! I’m particularly interested to see if the girl-with-the-big-80s-hair-laying-on-her-bed-with-her-head-upside-down-talking-on-the-phone cliché (it’s a thing) is actually real!

I never really thought about it.

In Can't Buy Me Love, they were on a bed, but they weren't on the phone. They were watching TV.

Huhgirlvoices

Ok! Were they upside down? I’m pulling it up to watch it right now!

Melis

No, I don't think they were upside down.

There's a bed phone call in Sixteen Candles, but she's not upside down.

Huhgirlvoices

Ok! Thank you 😊

You’re really the expert on here, can you think of any where girls are upside down??

Melis

I'd have to think about it, but nothing comes to mind right now.

Huhgirlvoices

Ok! I’m kinda surprised, what with how big inversion gravity boots were, too. I can think of a few others, after considering. There’s a scene in Teen Witch where she look under her bed upside down, a scene in Sheena where she hangs upside down from a tree branch.

Huhgirlvoices

I guess that’s another place we could try. Any workout tapes or TV commercials using inversion tables/boots?

Melis

Please do not post twice in a row until at least 24 hours have passed.

I really haven't noticed all of this.

Unreal, I found another one in Doctor Who: Time and the Rani part 3 tonight. Was just watching it, and they hang the girl upside down at one point during the episode!

Huhgirlvoices

Anyone think of anything new?

Melis

Nope, sorry.
