Kristi Swanson [Simone] was supposed to have the payphone scene but Hughes changed the filming schedule so my friend got the scene. He wrote the “my best friend’s cousin’s girlfriend” scene to make it up to Swanson.

Yes, the end credits scene from Deadpool was a direct nod to Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Before production on Deadpool began, Ferris Bueller was used as an example to explain to the studio execs at Twentieth Century Fox how Wade would break the fourth wall and talk directly to the audience throughout the movie just like Ferris. This was also another John Hughes movie. Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off.... Hughes was the king of 80's teen flicks.

With the success to this movie and "War Games" Matthew Broderick was flying high in the mid 80's. We all loved Jennifer Grey before 'Dirty Dancing'! I know you enjoyed this one! Great Score, Great Acting, a John Hughes classic! Super Thanks! Note the teach delivering the line "Bueller...Bueller...Bueller" is named Ben Stein, who's father Herb Stein was President Richard Nixon's chief economist. Ben has a high reputation in economic circles himself. Thanks again Jen ... this was one of my favorites!

[@jollyrodgers7272]

Ben Stein began his political career under Pres. Nixon as a Speechwriter AND Lawyer. Later, as a Speechwriter for Pres. Ford. In 1976 TIME magazine went out on a limb and claimed he was very likely Deep Throat, to which Ben denies, and even questions if there was even such a singular person as Deep Throat, but probably an amalgamation of sources, speculations and made-up quotes. Ben Stein taught Law, Economics, Ethics, etc. at the University level - and is a prolific conservative legal writer/commentator, and sometimes actor.

[@caldwellkelley3084]

Cameron is the most tragic character in this movie, and he gets the most development by taking the blame for his dad's car being ruined.

John Hughes was a creative genius. His body of work includes Sixteen Candles (1984), The Breakfast Club (1985), Weird Science (1985), this film, and Pretty in Pink (1986), and Some Kind of Wonderful (1987). Molly Ringwald was one of his favorite actors and starred in three of the mentioned films. For more excellent films of Matthew Broderick, you need to watch Ladyhawke (1985) and Glory (1989). Jennifer Grey starred in Red Dawn (1984) with Charlie Sheen, Patrick Swayze, and Lea Thompson prior to Ferris Bueller and did Dirty Dancing (1987) with Swayze afterwards. There was a short-lived series entitled Ferris Bueller (1990) based on the film. There was also a similar sitcom, Parker Lewis Can’t Lose (1990 - 1993) as well. That’s worth watching if you can dig it up.

Great reaction Jen like always, love this movie its a classic, and some fun-facts about it. All the characters who have cars , (except for Cameron's dad whos car license plate says NRVOUS) have license plates that are abbreviations of John Hughs movies. His Mom’s car has a license plate that reads “MMOM” which is a reference to 1983’s Mr. Mom which Hughes wrote. His Dad’s car has a license plate that reads “VCTN” which is a reference again to 1983’s Vacation. His sister’s car has a license plate that reads “TBC” which is a reference to 1985’s The Breakfast Club. Lastly, Principal Rooney’s car has a license plate that reads “4FBDO” which translates to “For Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”. As you may have detected by the soundtrack, John Hughes was really into new wave music back then. All the posters in Ferris' and Cameron's rooms were his personal collection. Cameron only has U2 Boy, but Ferris has Bryan Ferry, Simple Minds, Killing Joke, Blancmange, The Damned, Charlie Sexton, Jah Wobble/Holger Czukay/The Edge, Flesh For Lulu, Cabaret Voltaire, The Rave Ups. There is actually a band Save Ferris named of course, after the charity theme in this film. You can see them make an appearance in the movie 10 Things I Hate About You. Also not sure it's been mentioned, but a Fun Fact about this movie is that the actors who played Ferris' parents met during the making of that movie and ended up getting married in real life. My interpretation in the end when the sister rushed home to catch Ferris before he could get home so he would get in trouble. Then she overheard the principal telling Ferris that he would have to spend another year in high school. Another year with the two of them at the same school was the LAST thing she wanted, so she covered for him instead. If she wanted to cover for Ferris as a result of her chat with Charlie Sheen, she would have driven slowly to ensure he got home first after she saw him in the street. Keep up the good work.

You should watch "Glory" if you want to see his range as an actor. Other big names in that movie as well.

i just love how 80's this movie is. it's so good.

[@nickoftime5759]

I never was one to skip school, but I did have a tradition of always watching this movie on sick days.

[@Kap00rwith2os]

I saw this in the theaters as part of a Middle School outing. Even back then I thought it was weird they would be OK taking us to watch movie about CUTTING SCHOOL 😅

That was fun! Glad you got the references and the reverse reference from Deadpool. The girl at 4:59 reminded me of another 80’s teen flick that came out the next year, 3 O’clock High. She looks like the exact same character. It has Richard Tyson who played the bad guy Crisp in Kindergarten Cop and Casey Siemaszko who played the 3D glasses guy in Biff’s entourage in BTTF 1&2. It’s got some unique directing and style to it and a fun example of the 80’s teen movie.

Fun movie, fun reactor. Sprinkle a fun chat on top and you get fun fun fun! Always nice to hang with you, Jen!

[@kevinlewallen4778]

@@-M0LE Agreed!

(takes a bow) "Thank You...Thank You...Hope I didn't get too carried away in Chat, I was just having so much Fun!"

Jen knows Pointilism! That alone is worth watching the video Plus - Ferris Bueller and Jen Murray!

[@fatcatblinddog]

Loved your reaction, Jen. In the 80's this was THE movie when we were growing up. Quotable lines all over this movie. Your reaction was spot on perfect. The scene at the end when Ferris is running to get home through all those back yards was duplicated in homage in Spiderman Homecoming. Again loved, loved, loved your reaction. Your laugh "makes my day" (see Dirty Harry films)

Nice one Jen, another John Hughes classic! You have to check out Some Kind of Wonderful next! Enjoy listening to Yello - Oh Yeah, great track ❤️

[@jwolfe01234]

Back in the day, I got a Yello album just so I could listen to Yello's "Oh Yeah" any time I wanted to. It was also used in the movie The Secret of My Success staring Michael J. Fox.
