Visible crew/equipment: When Philip and Diane are walking to the car discussing their relationship, you can see the boom mic reflected off the black car next to Philip's car.
Back to School (1986)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Alan Metter
Starring: Burt Young, Keith Gordon, Rodney Dangerfield, Sally Kellerman
Continuity mistake: At the least swim meet, Chaz is shown diving before Jason Melon. Howver, after Jason dives, it then shows Chaz "up next" - and his hair is completely dry.
Dr. Phillip Barbay: ...now, not withstanding Mr. Mellon's input. The next question for us is where to build our factory?
Thornton Melon: How 'bout fantasyland?
Trivia: The swimming pool scenes were filmed at an aquatic club at the bottom of a hillside hotel property in Industry, California. The entire pool area was torn down in 2005 and the ground levelled with dirt everywhere so now if you drove by there, you would never know it ever existed.
Question: I have always been curious about one thing in this movie - when Thornton was taking the oral examination, if he answered all of Dr. Barbay's questions right, why did he only get a D? How did Dean Martin not question that?
Answer: It should also be noted he got all D's and just 1 A. So it wasn't just Barbay that gave him a D.
Answer: We don't know that he answered all the questions right, just that he answered the last one right. Based on Barbay's upset response to that correct answer, it is likely Thornton was at the edge between a wrong answer giving him an F and a correct answer giving him the D he got.
