It's been 35 years since the magnetic mega-hit "Flashdance" hit theaters, but its legacy lives on. The music. The moves. That iconic water scene.

"Flashdance's" undeniable influence has been felt ever since it premiered on April 15, 1983. "Deadpool 2" even recently referenced the film in one of its ads. Jennifer Beals' welder-slash-erotic-dancer, with a dream success story, might have been critically panned upon its debut, but that didn't stop audiences from loving every single sweaty second of it. The crowds showed up -- and "Flashdance" ended up becoming 1983's third highest grossing film in the U.S.

2. That now-famous off-the-shoulder sweatshirt look? It was a total accident.

"When I was in high school, I had a favorite sweatshirt that had remained in the dryer for too long, so the hole for my head was too small. I couldn't get my head through," Beals has said of the trend-setting wardrobe choice. "So, I cut around the hole. I wore it to one of the auditions, and they liked it."

3. The movie is reportedly inspired by the life of Maureen Marder, a former construction worker and exotic dancer. In 1982, she signed a deal with Paramount that granted them the rights to use her life story.

6. "Flashdance... What a Feeling," from the movie's soundtrack, won the Oscar for Best Original Song in 1984.

7. Jennifer Beals used body doubles for a number of her scenes. One of them was even male -- Richard "Crazy Legs" Colón was called in for a particularly difficult dance number.

8. "Flashdance the Musical" debuted in 2008 in Britain, making its way to London's West End. A Broadway run was planned and later fell through.
