A dance-off at Jack Rabbit Slim’s cannot beat swing music and a conga line.
The Big Picture The overdose of a crime boss' wife is how it ends, but a five-dollar milkshake and a dance contest is how the night begins. Away from the car-themed booths, “You Never Can Tell” by Chuck Berry plays as Uma Thurman and John Travolta do the twist, the Batusi, and the swim. The Pulp Fiction dance at Jack Rabbit Slim’s is fun, unexpected, and ingrained into pop culture, but it doesn’t quite have the same energy as another movie released in 1994.
This movie boosted both Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz’s stardom when it was released. Carrey’s dual role is the type only he could bring alive, in a range that goes from mild to madcap. The Mask became one of three movies in 1994 that allowed the actor and comedian's fame to skyrocket. Diaz is a femme fatale as Tina, someone trying to better her life and leave the clutches of the crime syndicate she’s involved with.
Carrey channels his take on a Looney Tunes character during his big dance sequence in The Mask, while The Aristocats were one source of inspiration behind Mia's choreography in Pulp Fiction. But The Mask goes one step further, leaving reality behind and becoming animated and fantastical. The ‘90s CGI effects look aged at moments, but the lack of realism works just as well, as does the helping hand in Carrey’s wacky mannerisms.
The Second Dancing Scene Has ‘The Mask’ Go Full Flash Mob Cornered by cops, the Mask suddenly transforms into costume, wearing a blue satin rumba shirt, pulling maracas out of thin air. He puts the officers under a spell to perform “Cuban Pete,” a distraction that he doesn’t need to escape — it’s more likely for his amusement. The flash mob made up of cops and local sex workers, takes over the whole location, from street poles to the patrol cars.
