Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) Movie Reaction | FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@JayBondReacts]

Phoebe Cates; The "blow job practice" scene, which of course starred Phobe Cates! She was magnificent in this scene! Uttely masterful the way she handled that carrot! Oscar-worthy.; The Phoebe Cates scene; Mr Hand settles the score with Spicoli on The same night as the Big Dance. The Dance was attended by none other than Phoebe Cates! Phobe Cates... Anyway...😂

Nice. I really gotta remember the Taylor guy I don't think I would recognize him. Easy Money was added to my list a couple weeks back though so perhaps I'll get familiar.

[@candicelitrenta8890]

Eric Stoltz was in a movie called Mask with Cher about a disfigured teenager, and he was the original Marty McFly in Back to the Future. They filmed him through a good percent of it and recast him with Michael J. Fox. Fox was the first pick, but he was in contract with Family Ties and when they did not like Eric's portrayal of Marty, they negotiated a deal with the show and Michael had to shoot in the day with the TV show and night with the movie. There are still some offside shots of Eric in the film. When Marty hits Biff in the diner you only see his hand do the punch. That is Eric's hand that did that

[@JayBondReacts]

That's interesting and kinda rough for Eric considering the massive success that Back to the Future became. While I'm sure he gets some love for other stuff, Michael J. Fox is a household name. I'd have such resentment for him my entire career I think. 😂

[@endoraismygma]

Minus a few exaggerations, this movie was SO 80s high school. And yes that's the Galleria where tons of mall scenes were shot during that time. Even though Sean Penn went on to make many amazing films, he'll always be Spicolli to me.

[@lazerx1828]

Dude, I'm ageing myself but I was a young photographer in Manhattan when Phoebe Cates was still modeling for Seventeen magazine, magazine ads and catalogs. I was about her age and had the biggest crush on her. I shot her a few times, she was very sweet and professional.

That's awesome!

[@ENDTIMEsVideoLibrary]

Classic 80s Flick that really kicked off the 10 year 80s Party!! The Sherman Oaks Galleria was one of the most famous and popular malls back in the 80s because it was so modern and futuristic looking compared to the other malls that we as kids grew up with in the 70s! I even worked a holiday job there a couple times and I really loved that mall! Unfortunately they tore it down in the 2000s I believe and utterly homogenized it by making it into an outdoor mall that looked like everything else. It used to be so unique and have some class about it too. My favorite scene in this movie has gotta be the Pizza in class scene. Mr. Hand has been in a lot of movie's but became a Celebrity while starring in an early 1960s sitcom called "My Favorite Martian". Nice reaction vid!

I could name four or five Spicoli clones just at my school. The portrayal is spot-on, and I believe Sean Penn was simply imitating a friend of his.

A lot of locations were still around and recognizable (like the parking lot for the HS was where my much younger sibs went- Canoga Park HS. I had gone to a different one across town). And kids still hung out/worked at the mall, and a date to an old school steak house was * chef's kiss * 🤣 And all the cool kids drove 70's cars and listened to Led Zeppelin.

This one and 'Breakfast Club' make for a strange dichotomy - like two sides of a coin for the same era... and which movie you prefer says a lot about who you are fundamentally: I prefer 'Breakfast Club' since it goes deep into what people are, but I also can appreciate 'Fast Times' for the more surface approach to teen life at the time

In its own way, Spicoli's babe dream came true in real life. Sean Penn married Madonna, his first wife, after meeting her on the set of her "Material Girl" video. His second wife was Robin Wright, Buttercup from The Princess Bride. He has also been romantically linked to Susan Sarandon, Jewel and Charlize Theron. Also, this movie came out when I was in high school, and I don't remember "dude" being an everyday word then in people's vocabularies. It wasn't until Spicoli used it that we all started saying it.

the blonde in the sports car is Nancy Wilson of Heart her then-husband was the director

[@Dolfan5413]

Damn Jay your hitting all the great movies. Good job.

[@JayBondReacts]

Thank you!

[@darrylhinko5568]

Stoltz does a great movie called Mask, not the Jim Carrey movie. Great reaction as always.

[@JayBondReacts]

Thank you. Definitely gonna need to watch that. The fact that I know Eric Stoltz from Anaconda pretty much exclusively needs to change. 😂

[@geneaikenii1092]

Dude...everyone should check out Jennifer Jason Leigh in a wicked killer drama/crime thriller entitled "Rush" In it her character is hand picked by her soon to be partner, then pulled out of the police academy to work as a narc. Her partner is a very dark and experienced undercover cop. They work the drug scene in a small Coastal town in Texas. It has a powerful storyline and superb acting. The surprise plot twist at the end was unexpected, but, supremely satisfying. It is well worth watching for the first time or the 10th. Thanks for this little reminder of one of my yesteryears. Keep em coming. Shoutout from the mountains of East Tennessee. See ya on the next. Peace. Later.

[@russellward4624]

The guy that robs the convince store at the end was Axel's friend that gets murdered in Beverly Hills cop.

[@JayBondReacts]

Oh seriously?! Damn. Didn't catch that! Thanks for the heads up.

[@mattpobursky850]

Not sure if you've seen "Dazed and Confused" but it's another great high school movie set in 1976 with a fantastic sound track and a bunch of young actors you'll know.!

[@JayBondReacts]

That's one I need to watch. I feel like I've seen it, but I can't remember. Only thing I know is the "they stay the same age" line so it's probably worth doing a reaction for.

[@allenruss2976]

If you want to see the first high school comedy I recommend Rock and Roll High School from 1979. It stars PJ Soles in her first starring roll. It also features the Ramones and Clint Howard as the school hustler. This is my all time favorite high school movie. Yes Grease can be considered a high school comedy but this is more fun.

[@LordVolkov]

Jennifer Jason Leigh is in some great stuff to check out. Single White Female, with Bridget Fonda Flesh + Blood, with Rutger Hauer, directed by Paul Verhoeven The Hitcher, also with Rutger Rush (1991), with Jason Patric And eXistenZ, with Jude Law, directed by David Cronenberg

[@JayBondReacts]

Sweet list, thanks! I've always wanted to see Single White Female because I remember it being referenced a lot back in the day. The Hitcher is the only one I've seen there but I was on the set of eXistenZ and potentially met her? I don't know. Some of it was filmed at my buddy's trailer park and we hung out there as like 13 year olds. 😂

[@Madbandit77]

The Hudsucker Proxy with Tim Robbins and Paul Newman, directed by the Coen Brothers Miami Blues with Alec Baldwin and Fred Ward

[@goodowner5000]

...and 1995's "Dolores Claiborne",based on the Stephen King novel, starring the great Kathy Bates & Christopher Plummer . Dir. by Taylor Hackford .

[@MontagZoso]

The other stoner bud of Spicoli (besides Anthony Edwards/Goose from Top Gun) is Eric Stolz. 2:08 Eric played the drug dealer in the bathrobe from Pulp Fiction and also Rocky Dennis in the movie “Mask” with Cher.

[@chrispruett81]

Wow.. How Ironic... You mentioned you know the guy from "The Burning".. I just watched that last night before going to bed!LMAO

[@JayBondReacts]

Haha No way! Nice!

[@djquiz6425]

JJL played one of the starring roles in Hateful 8.

[@angelagraves865]

Did you see Tarantino's The Hateful Eight? Jennifer Jason Leigh was Daisy Domergue and she was great.

[@JayBondReacts]

Oh yeah! I did see that one. I need to rewatch it now after seeing her way back in the day.

[@janabraam7963]

The main girl is Jennifer Jason Leigh. Kelly Mulroney was also in Ryan's Hope! A soap I used to watch. Eric Stoltz was in Mask with Cher & Sam Elliot. This was a cool movie. You can think of someone in your school to match everyone in this movie.

[@JayBondReacts]

Definitely! I guess I'll see Eric again in Mask because I already wanted to check that out!

[@janabraam7963]

@@JayBondReacts Don't confuse it with Jim Carrey's Mask. Not the same movie at all!

[@JayBondReacts]

@@janabraam7963 Haha I know the Jim Carrey one all too well. 😂 Though, I do want to revisit that someday to see if it holds up. I loved it back in the day. Jim was on a roll for a while!

[@victorsixtythree]

Man, I bet you'd be GREAT at Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon...

[@JayBondReacts]

Haha Actually, I guess I might be. Especially with a few people in this. 😂 Let's start with Rat he was in The Burning, the sfx makeup was done by Tom Savini who also did the effects for Friday the 13th starring Kevin Bacon. 😂

[@stomp4tm971]

First time I noticed. There's no sausage on that pizza

[@aj_macready]

Man, I love the horror actor references. I mean, I'm a giant horror fan too and say the same shit out loud when I watch em too! Great reaction, man. New subscriber, been catching up on these, and they're killer. Thanks!

[@JayBondReacts]

Awesome! Thank you so much!

[@DG-nn9uh]

The director of "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", Amy Heckerling also directed "Clueless" with Alicia Silverstone.. I saw you pointed out actor Eric Stoltz in the film and a lot of comments here say yeah he was in this movie and that movie but I am surprised nobody commented how he was in "Pulp Fiction".. he was John Travolta's drug dealer in "Pulp Fiction" he's the guy Travolta got the heroin from and it was his house he took Uma Thurman to when she was ODing from the heroin and had to put the adrenaline needle in her chest.. actor Anthony Edwards that you pointed out you remember from "Top Gun" as Goose was also in the original "Revenge of the Nerds" as Gilbert were he was one of the 2 lead nerd characters and eventual Fraternity Leaders.. one more Easter egg I'll throw out there is the attempted robber at the end of Fast Times is actor James Russo who was also in "Beverly Hils Cop" playing the friend of Eddie Murphys that gets murdered and why Eddie goes to Beverly Hills, another role he's memorable in is he was one of the slave traders in the beginning of "Django Unchanined", when the bounty hunter liberates Jamie Foxx.. he was the slave trader that got stuck under the horse when the horse fell on top of him after the bounty hunter shot the horse in the head.

[@JayBondReacts]

Thanks for all of this! You've reminded me I should watch Pulp Fiction again soon. Probably haven't seen it in like 10 years. I'm kickin myself at not catching the robber being from Beverly Hills Cop because I believe that was the movie I watched right before this one. It's hard to remember new faces for me. I'm typically okay at remembering faces I've seen a few times though.

[@pimoen]

Have you seen the hilarious Better Off Dead with John Cusack and Amanda Wyss? Highly recommended

[@JayBondReacts]

No, I haven't but it is very high on my list. It gets recommended all the time and I'm excited for it. It seems to have a ton of people I'm familiar with.

[@Reneestar48]

CLASSIC

[@caras2004]

If you want to watch an 80s high school movie with a different ending, then watch "The Last American Virgin"

[@matthewcostello3530]

the Bio teacher's wife was murdered by Phil Spector

[@joebalusikiii5811]

Jay, there are numerous villains....just like every high school.

[@ronpaul1082]

7:11 single successful guy is a bouncing souls song . They have alot of songs based on 80s movies like Say Anthing , fast times , never say die ( goonies ) or these are the quotes from our fav 80s movies which is a good song and cool video WHERES MY 2 DOLLARS !

[@warrior64]

Awesome totally awesome

[@janecrow1122]

Judge Reinhold, Bette Midler, Danny DeVito, Bill Pullman are in Ruthless People. You might enjoy it. Peace, all

[@Jsspres]

John Hughes made a lot of teen movies in the 1980s. Like Ferris Buehler "s Day Off and Pretty in Pink. But there is no way not to like Judge Reinhold .
