Trivia: It's rarely ever seen during the movie, but Anthony Michael Hall is the tallest person of the cast. Since this does not suit Brian, Hall's height is often concealed by him sitting while the others stand or him sitting slumped when sitting next to someone.
Trivia: The character of John Bender, the resident 'criminal' of the gang, inspired Matt Groening to name his law breaking robot 'Bender' in Futurama. John Bender also tells the high school principal 'Eat my shorts' at one point, which became Bart Simpson's catchphrase.
Chosen answer: 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.
