Part 4/7:
Matthew Broderick's dedication to his role is particularly evident in a sequence involving a dance performed during Chicago's parade to Twist and Shout. Not only did Broderick rehearse extensively for this scene, which included a crowd of around 10,000 people, but he also faced significant challenges after injuring his knee during filming. This injury complicated his ability to deliver the energetic performance that audiences now cherish.
Interestingly, Broderick wasn’t just performing for the cameras. The workers seen dancing in the parade were actual laborers enjoying the festivities, contributing to the film’s authentic atmosphere.
