In the scene when Ally Sheedy is pouring the straws with sugar in them onto her sandwich, at first she has three straws in her hand, but after the close-up of the second straw being poured it shows her without the last straw in her hand. See more...
In the begining of the film they are showing shots of stuff around the school (with talking over top). One of the things it shows is a plaque with graduation photos. The student on this plaque with the phrase "Man of the Year" is the janitor, only a bit younger. See more...
Directed by John Hughes, starring Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, Paul Gleason (add more)
The "questions" section is for any random questions that occurred to you while watching this film, or anything you didn't entirely understand, and which Google or the IMDb can't help with. Submit them as a question, and hopefully someone will answer (the bold comments in brackets) - check back regularly. If the answer is wrong, or missing information, please use the "clarify answer" option. Don't feel limited - want to know what music played in a certain scene? Whether this was the first film to use a certain effect? Here's the place to ask!
You can't have a gun in school, but you can put a guillotine in your locker? [I very much doubt that this is something that the faculty are aware of. Brian was obviously caught with the gun, whereas Bender has not been caught with the guillotine in his locker.]

What did Claire do to get in detention? Andy taped the one guy's butt closed, Brian had a gun in school, the Goth just wandered in, and Bender pulled the fire alarm, but we never hear what Claire did. [She blew off school to go shopping, in other words she got caught cutting class. She mentions it in the first scene when she is sitting in the car with her dad.]
If the janitor is Brian's dad who is the guy that picks him up at the end because he looks a bit like him? [The janitor isn't Brian's dad, Bender just asked if his dad worked there to make fun of Brian because the janitor knew him.]
Why is it that in the scene where Bender is in the gym, he has a sneaker and boot on, but when he gets back to the library, he has replaced it with his boot? Was there a deleted scene where he loses his shoe or something? It just does not make sense that he would somehow find 1 sneaker, decide to wear it, then kick it off on his way back. [Bender found the shoe in the gym, and decided to wear it. When the principal kicked the basketball, Bender jumped out of the shoe. He left with his boot, and was wearing it when he arrived at the library.]
Is there really a punch line to the "naked lady walks into a bar" joke while Bender is crawling through the ceiling? [No.]

I realise that a lot of US schools look similar but would this be the same school used in Ferris Bueller's Day Off (by the same director)? [According to the IMDB, the answer is yes. Both movies used the same two high school locations: Glenbrook North High School, Northbrook, Illinois; and Maine North High School, Des Plaines, Illinois. The director, John Hughes, directed both movies and decided to use the same school. He also uses the name Shermer for the name of the high school in Breakfast Club and for the name of the suburb in which the Bueller's live.]
