TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Patrick Swayze had to convince Jennifer Grey to be in this film because she disliked him so much while filming Red Dawn (1984).

Patrick Swayze insisted on doing his stunts. During the log scene, he kept on falling off the log and injured his knee so badly he had to have fluid drained from the swelling.

Patrick Swayze was offered $6 million to reprise Johnny for a sequel. Swayze wasn't a fan of sequels and turned it down.

The dancing that Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey do during the love scene was the same dance that they did for the screentests. It was not originally supposed to be in the film.

The Pembroke, Virginia resort where many Kellerman's scenes were filmed hosts three Dirty Dancing-themed weekends a year, including dinners, a sock hop, a screening of the movie, a watermelon toss, group dance lessons, and a Dirty Dancing scavenger hunt are just some of the many activities on the agenda.

Popular Dialogues

"Baby: Me? I'm scared of everything. I'm scared of what I saw, I'm scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you."

"Baby: I carried a watermelon. [Johnny walks away] Baby: [to herself] Carried a watermelon?"
