Okay. Maybe you know what cute 1980’s movie I’m referring to. Mannequin was a bit goofy in that you had the incredibly hot Kim Cattrall posing as a mannequin for a department store window which Andrew McCathy’s character ran.
He had just broken up with his girlfriend and then winds up falling in love with what’s perceived to be a female statue which suddenly springs to life transforming into a young Cattrall, who’s a knockout who sweeps him off his feet. Now, while the concept is preposterous, you got to admit it works considering that it’s Hollywood.
I always liked this movie and found it stupidly comical cause some of the scenes were along with the commentary. Plus it’s got the bad guy from Police Academy looking foolish as a security guard with his watch dog, Rambo. It makes for some funny ass stuff as he chases McCarthy and his “imaginary doll friend” around failing miserably.
In any event, someone over at YouTube put together a relatively good video summing up the movie which features Starship hit song, “Nothing’s Gonna To Stop Us Now.”
Here’s the video along with a bonus one as well:
Mannequin: Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now-remix
Mannequin: Do You Dream About Me
the second one features lines in Spanish before he dances with her. God. Does she look stunning in those outfits. Wow. She aged well too starring in Sex And The City.
Editor’s Note: I found the original Starship song and it appropriately features scenese from the movie. This song was also used during the Rangers’ 1994 Cup video near the beginning when Mike Keenan wanted his team to envision parading down the Canyon of Heroes. When I hear it, that’s immediately what comes to mind as it brings back great memories.

Hope you enjoyed this entry even if it was a tad different from what I usually feature in this category.
