The following year, 1979, he produced the Village People film musical "Can't Stop The Music," a production which, while campy, steered clear of addressing the band members' presumed homosexuality in the script. Again he orchestrated a lavish series of premieres and a television special that co-starred his friends Hefner and Cher. But the film was released in 1980, after the crash of the disco craze, and as a result, it was a major flop. Because of this, Carr "won" the first annual Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Picture in 1981. Undaunted, he went on to produce "Grease 2" (1982) which, while nowhere near the hit of its predecessor, was not the financial loss that "Can't Stop The Music" had been.
