What critics compared All the Right Moves to
One of her girlfriends discusses how to pause a tape for "All the Right Moves" at the moment when Tom Cruise's genitals are revealed.
The list of movies mentioned or satirized is amazingly long, and features everything from the 1931 Universal classic, Frankenstein, to Tom Cruise's All the Right Moves ("if you pause [the video] at the right place, you can see his penis").
The great Michael Chapman, whose cinematography credits include Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and The Fugitive, directed the middling Tom Cruise picture All the Right Moves and the inexplicable Clan of the Cave Bear.
