A quick skim through film history will highlight plenty of times when suspiciously similar films were released within weeks of each other. Armageddon and Deep Impact. Dante's Peak and Volcano. Antz and A Bug's Life. But in all of Hollywood history, only once have two competing films with the same subject matter been put into wide release on the exact same day. The subject of those films: the lambada. It was 25 years ago today that the short-lived American craze for the sexy Brazilian dance reached its apex — and as it turned out, its nadir — when Lambada and The Forbidden Dance hit theaters, splitting the vote of any theoretical moviegoers/lambada enthusiasts.
