Dirty Dancing 3: Capoeira Nights (2010 Video)

Mildly funny sketch that ends before it becomes repetitive

[4/10 · 21 February 2017]

"Dirty Dancing 3: Capoeira Nights" is a live action short film from 2010 that runs for under 2.5 minutes and was co-written and directed by Jake Szymanski. Maybe you have come across this name already as he directed several other Funnyordie productions and this one here is exactly that. It is not (really) a sequel, but a spoof disguised as a trailer for a really well-known film/sequel. The cast includes Camilla Belle and Jesse Williams (Grey's Anatomy) and their work here basically uses the fact that Capoeira is considered a dance too and the protagonist perform it and as a consequence keep hurting each other physically. This is the joke I mentioned in the title. Honestly, it is not really that funny overall and it's appropriate that the entire thing ends before the 150-second mark. Maybe a decent watch for everybody who likes the phenomenon of "Dirty Dancing" and wants to see how it got included here, but everybody else can certainly skip it. Not recommended.
