    What a great story!! I remember when they filmed the movie. My grandparents lived in Lehi and it was such a huge deal when they were doing scenes at the roller mills. Awesome memories from and awesome time in life.

    I saw this story on Fox 13 news Utah at 9 I love this story. Thanks for doing this. The reaction from Bob Evans and Allison croghan was so cool I can't stop smiling. Bob Evans has been my favorite news anchor for a long time. And Allison croghan is awesome doing the weather. You guys are definitely loved here in Logan. Yes please Kevin baccon come back to the great state of Utah for the prom.

    At 1:54, that's cool how they have pictures on the wall above the lockers. I wonder who is going to get Kevin Bacon's locker when they tear down the school? They should either give it to Kevin or put it in the Smithsonian Institution. I saw this in the theaters way back in the summer of 1984. I will always like this movie, I don't know what it is about it. Maybe it's just the innocence, or reminds me of my youth, or because of all the action scenes, or maybe the great music soundtrack that came from it. It reminds me of simpler times, people just enjoying themselves and having fun.

    My locker, my senior year was right where they walk in front. I remember being jealous, because I was in jr high, & the band students got to go to the high school during filming for class. We were all jealous of older brothers & sisters who were in high school & got to be extras.

    Ah, yes. I remember when they filmed Foot Loose in Payson. It's hard to believe that was forty years ago. It was a fun movie to watch as well since most people would say to themselves, "Oh, that's the Lehi Roller Mill!" or "That's Payson High School." I don't live in Utah anymore, even though I would love to be back in Utah. I hope Kevin Bacon does come back for the prom next year before the school is torn down. We'll keep our fingers crossed.

    Why tear down the high school if it's structurally sound? Save the school!!! I saw the movie back when it first was released. I don't remember too much but I loved the music.

    Sadly it won't be happened like that, at least not for Christopher Penn (acted as Willard Hewitt in the movie). Chris Penn was passed away on 24 January, 2006 with enlarged heart diseases when he was 41.
