There’s a well-known scene in Friday the 13th 4: The Final Chapter, which sees Crispin Glover at a party, asking a girl to dance. But instead of dancing, he just flails about wildly in start/stop herky-jerky motions.
The song used in the scene was “Love is a Lie” by the group Lion. However, the word is that they were actually dancing to “Back in Black” by AC/DC on set, and had to dub the aforementioned song in afterwards.
So I went back and added AC/DC’s “Back in Black” to the scene just to see what it would look like – and if it would help Glover’s dance moves make any more sense.
I think Crispin was marching to the beat of his own drum on this one.
I think you might be right. Did you try having the record start at different points? It seems like his flailing wouldn’t synch up with the start/stop parts of the song anyway.
I think it’s awesome that someone finally did this!

I didn’t try starting the song at different points, though I considered it after uploading the vid.
I started the AC/DC song exactly when the dance song begins in the movie – and assuming the editors did the same, it should sync up pretty well. And I think it does, actually.
If you notice the girl’s hips (and who wouldn’t), she bops side-to-side almost perfectly in time to “Back in Black”. Glover, however, is an untamed horse – rearing up and thrashing his hooves wildly.

I’ll look more closely at her hips!
Crispin’s timing is bizarre even in a normal dialogue scene. I think that’s what makes him memorable in this one.
