G.W. Bailey likes playing dimwitted officers! He portrayed Captain Felix Maxwell in this film, and was also the hilarious blowhard, Captain Harris in the "Police Academy" films.  -Thanks to intothesea13'Mannequin' was followed by an ultra-brittle (meaning bogus) sequel 'Mannequin 2: On the Move' in 1991, starring Kirsty swanson. Next...... Ultra-flexible actor Meshach Taylor played the daring character 'Hollywood' with utter abandon. He had previously been seen as the unfortunate character 'Dr. Kane' who lost his legs in the elevator in "Damien: Omen II". Other notable previous roles were in "Explorers" and "The Howling". -Thanks to Wayne PieperMannequin was written and directed by Michael Gottlieb, who had to wait until 1993 for another go with the Hulk Hogan vehicle ""Mr. Nanny". Topher Grace and Jessica Alba are rumored to be in talks for a remake. Prior to Mannequin, Andrew McCarthy and James Spader acted together in "Pretty in Pink". They also acted together in "Less Than Zero" -Thanks to kap83Kim Catrall's movie career went into a deep fizzle but got revived thru the smash HBO series "Sex In The City". Meschach Taylor and Estelle Getty briefly had hit TV shows that... [lol] seemed similar. Getty had "Golden Girls" on NBC and Taylor had "Designing Women" on CBS. -Thanks to HawnGuyKim Cattrall was born in Liverpool, England. -Thanks to Becky ParsonsCarole Davis (Roxie Shield) and Kim Cattrall (Emmy) cross paths again (not sure if they come face to face) in a 1998 episode of SEX IN THE CITY, THE POWER OF FEMALE SEX (Season 1, Episode 5) in which Carrie's Euro friend, Amalita (Davis) picks up the tab for Carrie's shoes with the help of her handsome rich man, Carlo, and invites Carrie for drinks later.

 Featured Movie Location: "Prince & Co." Department Store Wanna see the real life filming location used for "Prince & Co." Department Store in the movie? These scenes were actually shot at John Wanamaker's Department Store, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. [New! Show Google Map] John Wanamaker's Department Store (now Lord and Taylor) was built in 1861. Wanamaker's was used as the 'Prince & Co.' location. It was also used in "Rocky II" and John Travolta crashed into the display window at the corner or Market Street and Penn Square in "Blow Out". Rival store "Illustra" was portrayed by Boscov's Dept Store in Camp Hill, two hours away from Philadelphia on the PA Turnpike. Most of the decorations are nearly the same, though the store has since been expanded to take over 1/4 of the mall it is connected to! [Thanks to Gail Dull / Desiree] When you are talking about Johnathan Switcher running up and down the stairs you said he was at Prince & Co and it was filmed at Boscovs at Camphill. But he wasn't supposed to be at Prince and & Co he was actually at Illustra.[Thanks to Tamika] Rittenhouse Square: Andrew McCarthy lived near the Dorchester Apartments. At the intersection of Locust Street and 15th Street, you will find the former location of Dewey's Restaurant which was used for the 'fiery' restaurant meeting that Jonathan and Roxy have. At the corner of Market Street and 11th Street is the Gallery (which spreads east to 8th St.). With more than 230 shops and restaurants under one glass roof, it is one of the largest shopping centers in the nation and the sub-basement was the setting for the climactic 'mannequin chopper' scene at the end of the movie. The scenes where Andrew McCarthy runs up and down the steps at the Illustra. store were filmed in Boscov's dept. store in Camp Hill, PA, outside of Harrisburg, PA. [Thanks to Kelly L] I believe you can see the famous brass eagle on the main floor of Wannamakers in one of the aerial shots along with the great organ.Both were from the 1897 Centennial that and previous era Exhibition and purchased by Wannamakers. "The Eagle" in Wannamakers was a standard phrase known by all Philadelphians of that era. [Thanks to Charles Locke] See any errors? Something we've missed? [Let us know] | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Classic 80's synth instrumental music was by Sylvester Levay and features a wonderful love-theme piano-score throughout the entire film. Three breathtaking pop tracks were used: "Do You Dream About Me?" by Alisha -from the musical dance montage sequence (available on her out of print '87 solo-cd "Nightwalkin") "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" by Starship -used at the end of the movie and for the credits (available on their "Starship's Greatest Hits" CD) "In My Wildest Dreams" by Belinda Carlisle -from the start sequence. (sadly, never released) The non availability of this soundtrack has to be one of the single greatest crimes ever comitted. Please, someone...? In 1988, it was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for 'Best Music' and 'Best Original Song' for "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" by Albert Hammond and Diane Warren. If anyone is interested Alisha, the original artist that sang "Do you dream about me", is now on myspace and the song is on her music player. Here is the link to her page. Hope you really enjoy this as much as I did when I found it. -Thanks to Derrick AbelSingers Mickey Hart and Grace Slick of Starship performed lead vocals on the song, "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now". But when the song was performed at the Academy Awards, Grace Slick was unavailable and Mickey Hart was left to duet with Gloria Estefan instead. « Click here to add new music trivia for Mannequin Soundtrack Available: Never On Any Format | |||||||||||||||||||||||
