Perhaps one of my favorite Van Halen songs specially made for this movie was “Everybody Wants Some”. Lane was dreaming about the slogan from the restaurant he was working at, “Everybody wants some” where a clay form of a cheeseburger rocked out on the guitar. The music video is from the scene where Lane made a large patty, put it on a plate and pul...
French fries, french dressing and french bread were all that was served to welcome the neighbor’s foreign exchange student, Monique, from France. The cliché of these American foods is just hilarious as Monique had never heard of these foods before! Lane’s father then asked Monique three times if she was “enjoying your stay in our town?” each time l...
And yet another amazing scene when the paperboy, Johnny, raced to the Meyers’ home in attempts to break their window by throwing a newspaper through it. Lane’s father, Al, immediately wakes up and hears Johnny coming up with his bike. As he races out of bed to the garage to open the door (you can see the other windows Johnny broke), Johnny barely m...
One of my favorite scenes, Lane’s math class was so intent on learning the three cardinal trapezoidal formations. Unlike the realistic classroom in the 80s where students were secretly passing notes as their attention spans were no longer than a few seconds, I was at first confused by their focus, smiles and awws at the teacher. The only two who di...
As nasty as the green goo that Jenny Meyer made for dinner that night, I still want to try it. Not just because it had raisins, but to see what else she used. I’m not opposed to trying anything new! So what happened was Jenny got a Ladies Home Journalbook with recipes in the mail, only the rain drenched the book and made the pages stick together. S...
Just as Lane makes it back home from the school dance and after being chased by Johnny and his gang of paperboys for two dollars, he passes by his little brother Badger’s room when he hears a bunch of women’s voices. He turns around and opens the door to find Badger surrounded with five beautiful, skanky women. They all turn to face him, including ...
Just after Monique finishes fixing the Camaro that’s been sitting dead on the driveway for months, the pair take it for a drive. They pull up to the two brothers at the stoplight for the third race as the song “Bad to the Bone” starts playing. Only this time, the brothers have women in the car with them with Chinese food, just before they see Lane ...
This scene first starts off with Ricky and Monique in the lunchroom. After watching him suck his red jello through a straw, let’s just say she wasn’t interested. She then looks over to Charles de Mar on her left, who was also snorting the stuff into his nose before taking some and rubbing it onto his gums. As though he didn’t want to be rude, he of...
