These Are Channing Tatum’s Best Moments in the Magic Mike Franchise
By Hannah Shortt
Magic Mike gave us a lot of laughs, amazing soundtracks and some fantastic dance scenes. Here’s some of Channing Tatum’s best moments in the films.
Via: Nick Wechsler ProductionsOn the surface, stripper movies often seem like gimmicks that draw audiences in with promises of nudity and sex around every corner. Once you dive a little deeper, most of these films have interesting characters and intriguing stories balanced out by amazing dance scenes. The Magic Mike franchise is an excellent example of stripper movies done right — due in large part to the fact that it's a Steven Soderbergh movie — and there are plenty of great moments throughout both installments in the series.
Magic Mike introduces titular protagonist Mike, played by the ever-entertaining Channing Tatum, as he attempts to fund his own small business by stripping at a nightclub. The sequel Magic Mike XXL shows the aftermath of his career: a few years after quitting the entertainment scene, he and his fellow Kings of Tampa decide to get in one last hurrah by performing at a stripping convention in South Carolina. There are countless hilarious, sweet, and real moments in the series. And with news that HBO Max will produce Magic Mike's Last Dance, here's a look back at some of Channing Tatum’s best moments in the Magic Mike films.

7/7 The Umbrella Dance Scene (It’s Raining Men)
Nick Wechsler ProductionsThis scene is tons of fun for several reasons. Mike leads his posse of dancers onstage in full trench coats and hats, which gives the whole performance a sultry, noir feel — the guys look like sex symbols that just walked off the set of Casablanca, and it's an interesting change of pace. Once the umbrellas come out, the guys use them as props in a way that's both hilarious and sexy! Mike does a phenomenal job leading the other strippers, and he takes center stage with some of his coolest dance moves yet.
6/7 Convincing Paris to Let the Kings Perform
Via: Nick Wechsler ProductionsThroughout both films, we see Mike use his charm, good looks and smooth talk to achieve anything he sets out to do. When he faces off with Paris (Elizabeth Banks) at the stripping convention, the two are an even match; Paris gives him every reason his group can't perform, and Mike comes back with every reason they should get a spot in the show. It's an interesting dynamic of power, and Mike comes through to get his boys onstage. He's not willing to back down and cost the guys their opportunity for one last hurrah, and it adds a bit of integrity to his character.
5/7 The Original Pony Choreography
Of all of Channing Tatum's dance routines in film, his first choreography to Ginuwine's 'Pony' is the most fun to watch! The song is a smooth, sexy slow jam, but his moves are surprisingly high-energy and provide fantastic contrast. His jumps and turns are mesmerizing to watch, and there's no feeling like that split-second of panic when he flips off the stage and into the audience. This dance is iconic to the series, and rightfully so.
4/7 Pony, Revisited
Via: Nick Wechsler ProductionsWe can't talk about the first 'Pony' choreography without talking about the steamy follow-up! Tatum revisits his jam in Magic Mike XXL; we see him working in his shop several years after quitting the entertainment business, and the song comes on the radio. What follows is an incredible freestyle dance, and the way he uses his power tools as part of the performance lends to the improvised feel of it all. Mike is finally feeling himself again, and watching him come back to life is a joy. Plus, we get to see him add a chair to his routine, which is surprisingly uncommon in the films.

3/7 “Make Her Smile”
Iron Horse EntertainmentOne of the sweetest moments in the franchise is the scene where Mike convinces fellow dancer Richie to make a young woman working in a gas station to smile. He's not encouraging Richie to hit on or harass her — rather, Mike is reminding him that their job as male entertainers is to make women happy. The gang is watching through the window while Richie works his magic, and the way they cheer when the cashier finally cracks a smile is truly wholesome. It's a sweet display of bromance and positive interaction between men and women that's rare in stripper flicks.
2/7 Walking the Beach With Brooke
Via: Nick Wechsler ProductionsWhat makes this scene special is that there's no stripping going on. It's just a normal conversation between Mike and love interest Brooke as the two walk along the shore at the beach. Brooke admits that she doesn't understand the appeal of working as a stripper, and Mike responds with clarity that he has his reasons for enjoying it regardless of what other people think. It's not magical, romantic or sexual, and the duo actually agrees to disagree on their views. In the middle of all the movie's hypersexual themes, this is a nice human moment that rounds everything out. It also shows that couples aren't always perfect just because they're attractive.
1/7 The Drag Show at Mad Mary’s
Via: Nick Wechsler ProductionsWhen the guys find themselves in the audience at a drag show, Mike challenges them to get onstage and show how committed they are to their careers as performers. Mike leads the charge and kicks things off with his own fantastic spin on voguing, and he encourages the entire gang to get wild and have fun. Some of them grab props like feather boas, and Tobias caps it all off in a fruit basket head wrap and heels! They're so entertaining that drag MC Tori Snatch tips them, and we're sure the entire audience would have done the same.

Watch Jenna Dewan Tatum Give Channing Tatum a Magic Mike-Style Lap Dance on Lip Sync Battle
Is it over-aggressive to say the Tatum takeover on Lip Sync Battle might be the highlight of our 2016 so far? Channing Tatum wearing full Elsa gear and enthusiastically lip-synching Frozen's "Let It Go" (complete with snowflakes and twirls) already makes this season's premiere a top contender in our books—but his wife Jenna Dewan Tatum might have just pushed this episode over the edge. We knew based on the previews that she had a Magic Mike-inspired performance up her sleeves, but what we didn't know is how well her lap-dance skills would rival her hip-swiveling husband's. Dewan Tatum performed the spot-on, scandalous routine to Ginuwine's "Pony"—which Magic Mike fans will instantly recognize as Channing Tatum's trademark stripper song from the movie. Even just from this 30-second preview, we can already see that she nails it, from the nearly-identical costume to the washboard abs and, of course, the killer dancer moves. It appears gyrating is a Tatum family talent—watch the incredible clip below: Don't miss the full Tatum takeover when it airs tonight on Lip Sync Battle at 10 P.M. ET.

Watch the Cast of Dancing With the Stars Re-Create Dirty Dancing, Magic Mike, and Saturday Night Fever
Warning: Spoilers ahead! Fresh off switch-up week, Dancing With the Stars' pros and celebs rode that wave of energy into famous dances week, and boy, did it pay off. From Dirty Dancing to Magic Mike, this season is finally right where we want it. The contenders are starting to separate from the wannabes, and the pressure's beginning to mount. And, of course, someone else had to say goodbye and head to the friendly arms of Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos. Paula Deen's time was finally up, and she reacted to her departure by saying, "I'm so excited!" Of course, she was referring to the fact that she gets to go back and see her grand babies, but still, it was an odd reaction given that Alexa PenaVega (also "in jeopardy") was bawling her eyes out over the fear of going home. We knew Paula's run on the show was going to come to an end soon, but with her elimination comes the last of this season's "characters."

Long before he became Magic Mike, Channing Tatum was a hot commodity as a runway model. (Fun fact: He roomed with Vanderpump Rules star Jax Taylor during that time!) And, friends, have we got a treat for you: We have a throwback video of Tatum at age 21 talking backstage—and it is entertaining, to say the least. His quotes are pretty much exactly what you'd expect a 21-year-old dude to say about fashion. For example... On his modeling career... "I don't know if I'm a long-term model. I don't really think I've got what it takes to make a million bucks or whatever." On why he stopped dancing to go into modeling... "That wasn't making too much money, so I figured I'd try something else." On his acting aspirations. .. "I would love to go into acting or even some kind of designing or something like that. We'll see!" On fashion... "I've always been kind of interested in fashion and whatnot." Watch the video below: Want more Magic Mike goodies?

Joe Manganiello Talks THAT Scene From Magic Mike XXL
Decades from now, when people are living on the moon and driving flying cars and taking them to see Magic Mike XVI: The Golden Years, we will still be YouTubing Joe Manganiello's epic convenience-store dance scene from Magic Mike XXL. A refresher, in case you blacked out from lust: The boys challenge Big Dick Richie to get a grouchy cashier to smile, and he goes to work—armed with only a Backstreet Boys soundtrack and the snacks at hand. Turns out he's the MacGyver of seductive choreography, because it all works out. We asked Manganiello for the story behind the sequence. It came from the same place all good ideas come from. "Channing and Reid [Carolin, who wrote and produced the film] came up with that scene in a hot tub one night." The one-on-one setting was a big change of pace from the rest of the film. "During some scenes, there were close to 1,000 extras. They'd get louder on every take. That made us want to always top the last one, to give them something fresh. But it was wild." Manganiello himself Wanted It That Way. "Warner Bros. gave me a list of music to pick. There was no

How Magic Mike XXL Became the Most Shockingly Feminist Movie of the Summer
If you haven't seen Magic Mike XXL yet, close your browser, hydrate, and go directly to your local movie theater. This piece contains spoilers. No, seriously, I am going to ruin everything. When I sat down to screen Magic Mike XXL a few months ago, I had some expectations in mind for how I would feel when I left: blinded by ab glisten, battling debilitating jealousy toward Jenna Dewan-Tatum, and altogether too riled up to resume my normal, sober workday. What I didn't imagine was that I'd leave thinking I just saw the most empowering, progressive film of the summer. But—I swear on Ginuwine's "Pony"—that's exactly what XXL is. It's the kind of film we've been taught that studios are loath to take a chance on. Every single one of its 121 minutes seems to have been designed not just to satisfy women's eyes but to stoke our egos and mine our more intelligent fantasies—the romantic ones and the feminist ones. If you've seen the film, you know the moments I'm talking about: There's Joe Manganiello, the closest thing humans have to anatomical perfection, working overtime in the convenience store to get a smile from exactly one normal-looking woman.

31 Things That Could Not Keep Us From Seeing Magic Mike XXL in Theaters
Magic Mike was a surprisingly introspective look at the life of male strippers in Florida that featured some unforgettable performances (lest we forget those American flag undies on Matthew McConaughey's booty!). But it also had a dull "romantic" subplot that took away from what audiences really wanted: red-hot male stripping. Luckily, Magic Mike XXL has lost the conflict about stripping morals and is now all about that bass. And by bass, I mean Joe Manganiello's luscious upper thighs. Nothing can keep me from seeing Magic Mike XXL in theaters. Not even... 1. A lightning storm! 2. Wild horses 3. Trolls in the dungeon 4. Middling reviews 5. My date from last week finally texting.

PONY, CLOSER AND MAGIC MIKE XXL: A STRIP CLUB CLASSIC EMBRACE
Both strip clubs and movies use music as a useful thing; one that is either unobtrusive enough to serve as a backdrop or can instantly create a label for a strong emotional response in the audience. While a film can be made without music or even sound, a stripper cannot strip without music. The only thing a dancer needs besides a bodily form is a rhythm to which he can dance. A dancer can dance without costume, makeup, or a stage, but without music, a stripper is just a sexy pantomime in a thong.
Magic Mike had a soundtrack with elements of classic rock and dark atmospheric indie - Toro Y Moi, Cloud Control, unknown - and the dance was not as integral to the plot as for Magic Mike XXL . It was a movie soundtrack where MMXXL has a strip club soundtrack. The former ends with Foreigner's "Feels Like the First Time" and the latter ends with DJ Khaled's "All I Do Is Win" and they, like Dallas Rising and Rome, two different club impresarios from each film, come from different stripper eras. as much as dancing and music.
- = - = - = - #iframe: https://www.youtube.com/embed/oLoyU3xYwbs ||||||
avalanche since I left you
Dropping the previous soundtrack format was as good a move as losing Alex Pettifer and Cody Horn. It has benefited from what looks like quite extensive research from the music director and some input from the cast. In the meantime, Joe Manganello made Naked , a documentary about a strip club in Dallas, and may have learned a bit about the type of music that is actually heard that is meant to excite the crowd - and that's what MMXXL music made.
MMXXL functions more like a musical, as it deliberately uses dance sequences to advance the plot; Mike doesn't talk about wanting to get the band back together, he dances to it when 'Pony' comes to his workshop. Richie's big cock finds his stripper's heart dancing to 'I wish it was like this'. Malik challenges 'Sex You' Mike. And in the end, they all learn something about themselves when they create new melodies for new songs in the finale. He could move smoothly onto the stage. They're even already playing out lyrics that are, for the most part, the R&B tradition of "this is what I want to do with you."
The film is at the heart of strip club culture with scenes set in Domina, an exclusive club run by Mike's former lover and work partner, Rome. All the best strip club ideas come from black clubs, especially in the south. Every good innovation in strip clubs, dance, music and costume styles originated in clubs in Atlanta, Houston or Miami. The way the Florida dancers feel when they walk in and see Augustus, Andre and Malik outdo them is exactly how they feel when they enter Magic City from The Cheetah. That's the future, that's how far behind you are with your firefighter routines and Kiss songs.
All the guys are working together to have their grand finale, with Malik and Andre joining the troupe and helping them create their new show shows, but apparently what just happened was a direct collaborative take on their excellent programs. This option applies to the audience. The physical act of making it rain by showering the dancers with bills? Not so long ago, there were clubs where it was frowned upon as a less elegant way to give strippers money than a decent move to tuck them into panties or garters. We're all better off for it that Fat Joe and Lil Wayne put it into vernacular and helped spread the practice.
Saint-Étienne - home counties
The songs played during the Domina scenes by Malik and Mike are by two artists from Atlanta, Bando Jonez and Jacquees. The importance of Atlanta strip clubs in hitmaking is well documented; The Atlanta strip club DJs have a team to help decide what gets into the rotation each week, which includes Billboard and GQ . If you've ever been to Magic City when a new track comes out, the interdependence of dancers on fresh music and artists on the strip club is obvious.
It's also an opportunity to pay homage to two of the best stripper songs of all time: 'Pony' and 'Closer'. Their beats are instantly recognizable, and both were at the forefront of their time: "Pony" is one of Timbaland's first massive hits, and "Closer" is arguably the most popular industrial song of all time. They never seemed dated, perhaps because I heard each of them at least twice a week at work while they were away.
This is not an exaggeration. My very first stage performance was Revolting Cocks' 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy' and Nine Inch Nails' version of 'Closer' about a month after it came out. It's one of those songs that strippers fight to perform because it's so good and it resonates so much with the crowd. "Closer" might as well be strip club furniture. I can't even tell you exactly if I'm like like it or not, just like Richie couldn't tell if he liked "Hotter Than Hell" because he was always there.
The place of "Pony" in popular culture is obvious. There was a whole Tumblr dedicated to people making YouTube videos of them dancing alone to it, Ginuwine was a guest on 'Parks and Recreation', and a 'clean' version was even Sings on 'Glee'. The location of "Closer" isn't that easy to discern, although the influence of his video is everywhere, from the opening credits of True Detective to the entire aesthetic of Professor Snape in the film. Harry Potter movie. It was half the popular In Da Club mashup back when hybrid apps were popular. But my immense joy at hearing that instantly recognizable beat during Big Dick Ritchie's solo was entirely due to his place in the strip club musical canon. It's been played non-stop in strip clubs for 21 years, I promise you, and it was my excitement about her status, not my actual enjoyment of the song, that prompted me to send the only tweet I ever or ever will. sent from the cinema.
That's the kind of reaction that the strip club's widespread use of music elicits, whether it's the excitement of listening to a new hit track or the sentimental impact of an old favourite. Whether the intention is to excite, thrill, or charm, 10 seconds of the right song can make over 10 minutes of dialogue. Eight bars attract customers more effectively than eight yards of walking on your hands. It's the one thing strippers just can't do without after everything else has been ripped off.
