I turned 11 in 1980 so I was a teen the entire 80s and the same age as all the kids in these movies. It was perfect. This one was awesome. Build your own hot girl and have wild adventures.

Bill Paxton was so awesome that he was killed by an Alien, Terminator and Predator, all in the 80s

[@AvengerII]

There were a lot of good actors who got killed in their most famous films. Paul Winfield for instance played Captain Terrell (Star Trek II), the police chief in the district the Terminator decimated (The Terminator), Martin Luther King Jr in a TV movie, and an alien captain on Star Trek: TNG. What do these roles have common? His character was KILLED in all of them!!!! He couldn't catch a break! One of the last things he before he passed was voiceover for the A & E series, City Confidential. It was a lurid show about murders in smalltown America. Good series but the subject was morbid!

[@user-si9fx4xb6v]

Actually, Bill Paxton was in Predator 2 which was released in 1990. Still it is unique that he was killed by the title character of three unique science fiction films. Director James Cameron was very fond of him, hence Bill Paxton frequently having roles in Cameron's films.

We peeps who are older and from SoCal especially, and were in our teens in the 80s know all about Oingo Boingo and Elfman. They were the best band around that only thrived on the west coast, the rest of the nation just never quite got around to discovering how incredible they were. They should have been mega huge but never really attained incredible success like other bands...even though many of their songs were so memorable to a few quite popular films.

[@TripleBerg]

daAnder71 Displace - take over the place, position, or role of (someone or something). The Mac was not a replacement for the Lisa, it completely pushed the Lisa out of the market and created a new market when Jobs preemptively hinted about the Mac at $3,000. He did this in response to complaints about the Lisa price. Later, the Lisa was refurbished to run as a Mac with a narrower aspect ratio. This was the first ‘Mac’ I owned, but it was no longer a Lisa.

The cute blond guy

[@GameofTravis]

More info about Danny Elfman: Over 30 years after the film's release, he did an interview where he had felt somewhat embarrassed over the theme song and its music video. Heck, if I were him, I would be laughing to the bank because that became a hit song for him.

[@IROQUOISxPLISKEN]

Its a fun song, very catchy, he shouldn't be embarrassed.

[@traceytaggart1740]

Yeah, that was the biggest hit the band ever had. It would be ten years before knew I them for anything besides that one song.

[@AvengerII]

A lot of musicians have issues about certain kinds of music and want to be seen as rebels. A song like "Weird Science" is the antithesis of what they want to be known for -- it's bubblegum pop. They want to make huge money but not be known for songs that little kids sing that are "socially acceptable." The funny thing is that the best songs I can remember, the ones that are UPLIFTING without being completely saccharine or resampled crap (pick any teeny bopper after the late 1990s and most of the music libraries of Katie Perry, Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, etc.), ARE bubblegum pop. The Beatles could be considered THE HEIGHT of bubblegum pop whether anyone wants to admit it or not. The funny thing is that anyone in the 1960s and 1970s who successfully emulated the Beatles was considered bubblegum pop -- biggest example being The Monkees. Carol King, Neal Diamond, and even Frank Zappa (the two guys WROTE songs for The Monkees!) were able to channel into whatever it was The Beatles did and write music for others and themselves that was not that far off from the Fab Four. A decade later, in the late 1970s, the spoof band, "The Rutles," were riffing The Beatles but showing what The Beatles did still worked even though they were strictly playing it for laughs (and pleasing at least TWO of The Beatles who got the joke and weren't offended by it!). Heck, Paul McCartney really didn't change his style of song-making after The Beatles split up because it was commercially successful. I guess the point is you never know what people are going to know you for and appreciate. At least half the artists out there -- actors, musicians, pencilers/painters -- never come to grips with what it is that makes them famous and remembered and they make themselves utterly miserable over that fact. Harrison Ford to this day still can't deal with the fact that Star Wars made him a star. He loves Indiana Jones but he's never been a huge fan of the Han Solo character and wanted him killed off since at least The Empire Strikes Back...

@@kurtsnyder4752 Older VCR machines sometimes have unreliable rewind functions when they age. I suspect that is probably what caused her to hand rewind it.

[@AM-qo8sh]

The time gap between the movie and the TV show meant most of the target audience were teens who had been too young to see the original movie release

[@johnmcdonald587]

I always thought that Bill Paxton had based Chet on the character he played in The Lords of Discipline a few years earlier. In Lords he played the sadistic Cadet Major Gilbreath and there are a lot of similarities between Gilbreath and Chet. I think Paxton drew on this and played Gilbreath's mannerisms for laughs.

[@michaelrue1400]

I loved the series. I even had a dream that featured Lisa as portrayed by Vanessa Angel, Eve from the short lived Mann and Machine, and Ta' Ra from Something is Out There. An alien, an android, and a computer generated genie, three drop-dead gorgeous women and I couldn't get with any of them!
