Paula Abdul reference?


Topper says something like "I learned this one [move] from Paula Abdul" and then spun the plane round.

What's that all about?

Paula Abdul was a choreogrpher as far as I can remember, so that would explain learning moves/maneuvers from her.

I think that is right, it's what I assumed anyway.

reply

Oh, right - yeah, that's one explanation. I always assumed it had deeper, possibly more derogatory connotations.

Seems like a pretty stupid thing to think, did you think that was a joke?

From the trivia section:

"Charlie Sheen remarks before a particularly energetic fight sequence, 'I learned this one from Paula Abdul.' Paula Abdul was married to Charlie Sheen's brother, Emilio Estevez, at the time of the film's release."

reply

Ah, that would explain it - thanks!
