The film was a box-office flop, but has endured to become a cult classic. It is a "roller disco" with emphasis on disco music and extensively-choreographed roller skating sequences. The film's soundtrack was more of a success, with many hits including the title track "Xanadu" (which has been featured in the video game Dance Dance Revolution), "Magic", "Suddenly", and "I'm Alive".
