Labyrinth turns a corner but Kamen Rider and Rocky Horror are tied.
And since no one broke yesterday's tie, my coin flip says Frozen moves on.
Match 28
We are nearing the end of the first round but we are getting some classic film openers. First is the cult hit and, along with the Warriors, the inspiration for every beat 'em up video game Streets of Fire and @Purple 's pick of Nowhere Fast. The song opens up the film and is sung by Ellen Aim and the Attackers right before Ellen is kidnapped by biker gang the Bombers. And you know they are dangerous because the leader is Willem Dafoe! We also have the Rainbow Connection from @WildcatJF , the song that opens up The Muppet Movie. The song was actually an Oscar contender but lost to "It Goes Like It Goes" from Norma Rae and the Muppets wouldn't get that Oscar until "Man or Muppet", though that year, the Muppets were competing almost exclusively with themselves and Rio, an animated movie no one talks about.

Match 27
It's a match up of 50s style tough guys. First @Exposition Owl plays it Cool from West Side Story. The scene takes plays after the death of Jets leader Riff and the new leader, Ice, advises everyone to calm down and play it cool before the next rumble. Against it is @Purple 's pick of Dentist! from Little Shop of Horrors. The dentist's office was actually going to have a nastier look with grime (appropriate for a skid row office) and blood splatter but test audiences responded poorly to it so in the final film it looks a lot nicer.
