Sam Kinison (the screaming history teacher) is doing his schtick from his standup act, where he just builds in outrage until he's screaming at the audience. He was amazing, but he died in a car accident in early 1992. I know the exact date because I was in college and I broke my ankle. As I was in the hospital and they were giving me the gas to put me under, one of the nurses said to the others, "Oh, Sam Kinison just died." Last thing I said before losing consciousness: "Don't give me his doctor!"

One of the better comedies of the 80's, great script, poignant in a few places, Sam Kinison was making Dangerfield crack up, you can see him shaking in that scene and you can also see the blonde student he was yelling at previously, put a hand over her mouth to stifle laughter. Kinison was larger than life, a preacher who became a comic, who was tragically killed by a drunk driver. Downey's character is also memorable, the guy who will be your best friend for life as long as you accept his little quirks. If you get asked to do another film with Dangerfield, "Easy Money" has one-liners just like this, and a funny, blue-collar oriented script with Joe Pesci in an earlier role.

His personal secretary who he sent to take notes was played by Edie McClurg, you probably remember her from Ferris Bueller's Day Off where she played the principal's secretary or maybe Planes, Trains, and Automobiles where she played the car rental lady in a scene with Steve Martin. The band who played at their party was Oingo Boingo, whose frontman, Danny Elfman, also wrote the score for this movie and wrote the score for Batman (1989), Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, and basically every Tim Burton movie ever.

@@Reggie2000 The water spray create ripples across the water which then makes it easier for divers to see how far they are from the surface of the pool and they can therefore time their moves to end right before they enter the water. Water being sprayed onto the pool helps the divers to see where the surface is, as with the diving board being 10m up, they can only see the floor of the pool from where they are standing. The ripples created by the spray then allows the divers to judge the distance more accurately and make sure they enter the water at a safe angle. As divers are travelling at around 35mph when they hit the surface, they can be seriously injured if they enter the water at a bad angle. Other safety precautions for divers include minimum and maximum pool depths for optimum water pressure, BY THE WAY (IT'S ALSO to help soften the divers’ IMPACT with the water) NOW DID YOU READ THAT LAST BIT IF NOT HERE IT IS AGAIN (IT'S ALSO to help soften the divers’ IMPACT with the water), FACT

This is such a great comedy. Rodney definitely reached his peak with this and "Caddyshack", but his earlier "Easy Money" is also a pretty funny one as well. I was a Computer Info Systems student at the University of Evansville, but since it was also a strong liberal arts place, they asked you to take elective courses outside your degree. One I decided to take was Philosophy of Religion from Dr. Conolly. There were 8 students in this course in a room under the bell tower and I was the only one from the Engineering school. Near the end of the semester, he invited us all to his house for a meal and to watch "Love and Death" by Woody Allen (a comedy set in Russia during Napoleonic times with many philosophy and literature related call backs and bits). He was my favorite professor and I was glad to have two classes by him (the required Philosophy of Science course was when I first encountered him).

Fun Fact: The band "Oingo Boingo" (shown during the dorm-room party thrown by Thornton) was a real band. "Dead Man's Party" was a real song played on the radio and the lead singer is none other than Danny Elfman of "Nightmare Before Christmas" fame - he wrote the music and was the speaking and singing voice of Jack the Pumpkin King.

Yes--this is such a classic funny film. Great cast. Rodney Dangerfield, in addition to appearances in films, did a lot of stand-up routines about different ways he's been insulted: "I don't get no respect," was his famous line. He's hilarious, and I'm so glad that you are recognizing these actors from other films. Yes, his secretary showing up with her typewriter (*correction: stenograph machine) in class to take notes for him is so funny She was the next-door neighbor in a show I loved as a kid, called "Small Wonder", and she used a funny catchphrase in that. Her other memorable role was in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off, as the school secretary there. Yes, a young Robert Downey, Jr. He was in a lot of 1980s films. Sam Kinison was the loud instructor, and he was a stand-up comedian who performed the same way on stage as he did in this film. Hilarious. Terry Ferrell played the part of Valerie, and if you ever watch Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, she plays a character, Jadzia Dax, and if you watch the TV show "Becker", which stars Ted Danson, her character is "Reggie." Her blond boyfriend in Back To School, was William Zabka, and he was in "The Karate Kid" films. So many well-known actors in Back To School, but the kid whom you recognized during the black-and-white beginning was Jason Hervey, who was in Back to the Future, in the 1950s. When Marty is having dinner with his teenage mother's family, he meets his young aunt and uncles, and Jason Hervy was the kid wearing the coon skin cap. You might also recognize his from "The Wonder Years", the original show. He was Kevin's brother. Great video and review!

Ooh, Ashleigh! First, Buc-ee's is to gas stations what Bass Pro Shops is to the hunting and fishing aisle at Wal-Mart. It's the kind of place you build your vacation around. Second, the band was Oingo Boingo who recorded and performed Dead Man's Party for this film's soundtrack. They are IMO the most underrated band of the 80s, they also did the Weird Science theme, and while you might not recognize the lead singer's face, you definitely know his name....Danny Elfman. Third, I want to request a movie that I'm obsessed with lately. Once Upon a Time in the West. It's a masterpiece.
@88wildcat11 ай бұрын
I second that motion. Once Upon a Time in the West is my favorite movie of all time. I'm a bit worried Ashleigh would lose patience with it before the opening train station scene is finished though.

15:49 Ashleigh, the guy in the water, splashing, is basically making the water surface become more mushi and softer. That makes the impact on the water less hard and it also hurts less. Because the surface tension of the water surface can REAALLLY hurt when you splash into it straight like that. Especially from a certain height. :) So the water splasher basically saves you from getting nasty injuries. Would otherwise feel like hitting concrete. Sometimes you see that during sports events when they have something like a whipool bubbler right at the Splash Impact area for these divers.
@MrSheckstr10 ай бұрын
From what my father told me at the time…. Breaking up the surface also allowed to diver to visual gauge his distance to the surface, AND diffuse any reflection from a light source that could distract or disorientate the dive

@librarianists10 ай бұрын
IIRC, it also helps disturb the surface of the water so that divers can more accurately gauge where the water begins and how quickly they need to slow down once in the water. Or maybe that was just the acrobatic high divers I saw at the county fair this summer! Edit: LOL. Great minds think alike. (And at about the same time, no less!)
