I want to start a new thread about extras in movies or tv shows who do shoeplay in the background. If you could help me find any movies where that is shown that would be greatly appreciated.

Only one I can recall is some girl in a 80s Coke commercial in a park.
It wasn't an extra but one of the cast of the episode of Law and Order have heelpopped while in jacks office meeting table..
I'm pretty sure it's frowned upon if the director notices dhoeplay to avert attention to the main actors. Extras are pretty much can be replaced super easily so they don't want to do anything to get fired

I cannot recall exactly where in the movies it happens, but there are shoes dangled in the background in Pulp Fiction and in Howard the Duck. If I remember correctly, the Pulp Fiction scene happens at a party when we first meet the Harvey Keitel character.

Although she wasn't an extra. The character Pam in the American "Office" show would dip occasionally.

Thank you footsiefreak for the 80s coke commercial, that's what I'm talking about. Also do you know exactly which law and order episode the shoe dangling happens?

I've heard rumors of that extra shoe dangling but to no avail.

First episode of "Always sunny in Philadelphia" there is an extra in the background doing shoe dangling. Unfortunately she's wearing sandals but nonetheless it's something.

I'm not sure because there are so many. Next time I bing watch I'll take note
But I will recommend watching the seasons with ADA Claire Kincaid seasons 3 to 6 she has a few good heelpops
Oh yeah there's one with Yeardley Smith she did an episode of Tales from the Dark side she double heelpops bending over

I remember the Commencement episode of 90210 when it aired in 1993, I noticed a shoe being dangled by a background girl. It was very short, like maybe 4 or 5 seconds. So I went check, and found it on good ‘ol YT. We start with the slightest of heel pops 6 seconds in. Then when the camera returns to that view at the 46 second mark, the girl is dangling. Not full out vertical, but you can start to see her toes. She actually looked like she was gonna go full as the camera switched away.

Old one from a Disney show 100 deeds around 5 min mark
Also a nylon heelpop by an extra in the film anyone but you pretty early on. They are in the coffee shop and the guy notices toilet paper as she is walking away and the camera captures a heelpop in the background
