Directed by: Herbert Ross
Starring: Kevin Bacon, Sarah Jessica Parker, John Lithgow, Dianne Wiest, Chris Penn, Lori Singer
Trivia: Dianne Wiest plays Lori Singer's mother in the movie, even though in real life she's only 9 or 11 years older than Singer, depending on which resource you use for her birth date.
Suggested correction: Per Wikipedia Dianne west was born in 1946 and Lori singer in 1957.11 years.
You shouldn't believe everything you read on Wikipedia. Wiest (not West) was born March 28, 1948. Not 1946.
Visible crew/equipment: In the sequence where the young are in the field to clear up the rules of "chicken game" (or something), you can see a part of a microphone above them.
Rusty: What is wrong about getting a little psyched over Ren? He's cute! He's from out of town, and don't tell me that doesn't curl your toes, Ariel, I know you too well. You want out of here so bad you probably memorize bus schedules.
Trivia: The film's soundtrack album knocked Michael Jackson's "Thriller" off the top of the U.S. album charts, where it had ranked for more than a year.
Question: When Ren is driving with his friends at night, he is told about the circumstances behind the death of Ariel's brother. It was quite clear that it was driving while under the influence of alcohol that was responsible for his death so why blame it on playing loud music?
Answer: The belief was that rock and roll was the root cause of the accident. The adults who supported the ban believed that rock and roll influenced the teens to do things they wouldn't normally do, such as drinking and driving.
Answer: One of the kids answers the question during the conversation by saying something along the lines of there's three things involved, and the adults didn't wanna get rid of two of 'em, which left dancing/music.
