I honestly can’t remember if that’s the answer I had in mind back then. If those are the two movies I was thinking of, then there’s actually a third. In _Bedazzled_, during Stanley’s first wish (or was it his first?) he brings Margaret back to his apartment. They’re lying on the floor listening to Brahms when the record starts skipping. The scene is foreshadowed a bit with George (the Devil) tearing the last pages from books and scratching records. ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > In what 1984 movie does Kate Capshaw’s character see the villain reach into a man’s chest with his bare hand and pull out his beating heart, yet the victim lives? This isn’t me trying to make an absurdly twisted question to fulfill a point – by being so specific I’m actually emphasizing the unlikeliness of the coincidence. I could’ve just asked “in which movie did the heroine see the villain pull someone’s heart out with his bare hands?” It’s sort of incredible that there could be two answrrs in which the year of the movie is 1984, or two answers where the heroine is Kate Capshaw, or two answers in which the victim _lives_ ---

Ah! That’s probably right. I was sure about _Foul Play_, but unsure about _10_. Plenty of seduction and playing of LPs in _10_ (Maurice ravel’s “Bolero”), but no record skipping that I can recall (though, with that particular piece of music, who could tell!). ---

It definitely happens in _10_. Dudley and Bo Derek are in bed with Ravel’s “Bolero” playing on his large console stereo with the lid propped open. The record starts skipping, he throws a pillow, which causes the lid to fall, and then the record continues playing. At least, that’s how I remember it; haven’t seen the movie in ages. I guess that was Moore’s trademark scene, kinda like William Holden and blowing up bridges. The switch to CDs seems to have doomed his career. ---
