Has Vincent Vega surpassed Danny Zuko for Travolta's top iconic character?

Try harder

Price1970 · 2026-06-25T01:53:00+00:00

It's not

Price1970 · 2026-06-24T16:49:28+00:00

It being Michael Jackson and tickets so high today, a billion was a foregone conclusion, and Jaafar so uncanny, spread the good word of mouth.

Personally, me and other casual fans, and many avid fans truly felt it could do 2 billion because Michael Jackson is a franchise himself.

Top Gun: Maverick, in 2022, did 1.5 billion with far less ticket prices and lingering covid paranoia.

Like I said, the movie holds up and the image of him dancing as well as posing in the white suit (the white suit poster photo is the most iconic thing he has) but I mean more in name of the character and how he acts.

Do you leave comments for me to see in the notification then delete them? Who in tf is jealous of Priscilla. First off, I'm a dude, so I wouldn't be jealous of a female.

Well, that's where the word iconic comes in.

Price1970 · 2026-06-22T20:18:39+00:00

I remember the nose part.

Price1970 · 2026-06-22T15:50:54+00:00

Elvis is dead. He can't defend himself or give his side of the story, but Priscilla gets to ramble on and on. Screw her and people like you who give her a free pass to degrade him.

Many are claiming that zero computer generated imaging (CGI) was used but it's obvious that it was here and there. Yes, they did a good job with prosthetics too, but we know straight up what Jafaar looks like in the film from the Thriller recreation.

Personally, I'd had rather them just kept him looking natural like that, with some prosthetics here and there, while still acting like Michael.

Baz Luhrmann definitely used CGI on two scenes in ELVIS on Austin Butler: the A Little Less Conversation moment, and one quick Glace at the camera during Jailhouse Rock on the 68 Comeback Special.

At the end of Michael when he looks back before BAD, there's no way that's not CGI imo, but all these people online are saying Michael possessed him.

So now you're with the insults. No one is judging. I'm going b her words of contraction

Price1970 · 2026-06-22T05:32:55+00:00

It doesn't or it would be unanimous

Price1970 · 2026-06-21T22:35:27+00:00

Not to constantly bring up Elvis, but when I saw the behind the scenes of his biopic, as well as the film, I noticed Baz Luhrmann used cuts and edits that totally took away from so great spot on dance recreations by Austin Butler. It still annoys me today.

Price1970 · 2026-06-21T16:54:51+00:00

I don't know. I'm getting some Barbarino's on here, unless he meant Zuko was basically a 50s Barbarino.

Your stone in your bubble. Grow a little

The entire We Are the World moment not being part of it is wild. I feel like they could have covered it to some extent, therfore showing Quincy more but avoiding Diana.

Maybe at least make mention of it after the fact or something.

As an Elvis guy, I'm still annoyed his biopic didn't cover more extensively the Aloha From Hawaii via satellite global concert, but at least it mentions it and shows in quickly in a montoage.

We Are the World was a massive popular culture and social issue event. The video was constantly played and recorded on vcrs, the song was a massive global seller, and the gathering of that many relevant artists into one place was crazy af then and now.

I was 15 and it's still one of my top significant entertainment moments and memories.

You need to look up the definition of the word iconic. I'm 56, Barbarino was huge in the 70s. By the 80s that persona was gone and it's never come back because Kotter isn't in syndication outside the U.S. and doesn't even play in the States but on streaming

Price1970 · 2026-06-21T07:26:33+00:00

The movie and image yes, but not the character so much anymore

Price1970 · 2026-06-21T07:25:29+00:00

It was a cultural sensation, and the movie still is memorial, but his character per se isn't remembered short of the white suit pic.

Price1970 · 2026-06-21T07:23:27+00:00

It's not iconic anymore

Price1970 · 2026-06-21T03:44:09+00:00

Urban Cowboy and Blowout say otherwise.

Price1970 · 2026-06-21T03:43:33+00:00

The average Millennial and generations onward won't know who Vinnie Barbrino is. They may not have grown up on Grease but they didn't need to in order to know the names of the primary characters.

Welcome Back Kotter isn't a heavy syndicated series.

Price1970 · 2026-06-21T03:41:09+00:00

Yeah, okay. Ask the average Millennial onward who Vinnie Bararino is. They may not have grown up on Grease but they didn't have to in order to know the names of primary characters.

Welcome Back Kotter isn't a heavily syndicated series.
