I was a high school senior when this movie came out, and I can tell you that it viscerally captured all the sexual frustration and deep angst of impending adulthood that we teenage boys felt. Every one of us understood Joel on a profoundly deep level, but none of us would have had the balls to do any of the stuff he did. The movie was both cathartic and terrifying at the same time. A genuine classic for any guy who was a teenager in the early 1980s.

Perfectly stated, & spot on

[@harley2704]

One thing about this movie that makes it so unique, other than the cast, is it’s really about a real world education vs. a classroom experience. Joel learns more about business and how it actually works in the real world from Lana than he ever could in school. I think that’s what makes this movie still relevant today.

[@Cadinho93]

The dance scene where Joel dances to "Old Time Rock N' Roll" was completely improvised. In the script Tom Cruise was simply instructed to "dance to rock music." Also, the sunglasses Joel wears are the Ray-Ban Wayfarer model. Annual sales of Wayfarers were languishing as of 1983 but skyrocketed 2,000 percent after the movie's release. This film and The Blues Brothers (1980) have contributed to the popularity of the Wayfarers since.

Being only two years older than Tom and not far from my teenage years I really fell for this flick and became a lifelong fan of "Mr. Cruise". Still love this movie and it takes me back to my teenage days. Really glad you got to see this and appreciate Cruise's talent even back then.

Rebecca De Mornay is not only other-worldly gorgeous in this film (and reminded me of Taylor Swift today), but she pulls off the almost impossible task of being that woman that you would throw everything away for. She comes off as whip smart and charming, without dialogue that lets you know she is either. And all the while, there's a good chance that she's lying to you. She should have won an award for this part.

Allegedly, this was originally written as a cautionary tale with an unhappy ending: He doesn't get into Princeton, he doesn't get the girl, Lana was conning him the whole time. Obviously someone was unhappy with that version, so they changed the ending, or at least tacked on a couple of new scenes (the scene with his Dad, the ending with Lana).

[@alfonsobiggers2452]

I think I might have preferred that, personally. I'm not a big fan of this one. If you're wondering why I'm watching this reaction then, I really want to know what it is people see in this movie.

[@drewwesely8853]

Cassie was stressed in scenes where she should have been laughing. There were so many classic lines where I still LOL to this day and Cassie was just worried that Joel would get into trouble. The Porsche guy saying "Who's the U-Boat commander", "Get off the babysitter Joel!", "You don't buy Sony when you want RCA." "50 goes to the house, you're the house. -I am NOT the house!" Hilarious but Cassie hardly laughed because she was so concerned about Joel. It's odd how distrustful she is of Lana. Lana basically keeps it 100% on the level with Joel. He called Lana, hired her, and then was in debt to her. So it isn't Lana that has "ruined his life", it's that his natural adolescent needs have placed in him in a series of escalating crises. Lana actually steps up to save his ass, because Joel helped her get away from Guido, and she genuinely really likes him.

One thing to note is when this movie came out Animal House was a huge hit and Hollywood just copy and pasted the format &there were dozens of R-rated teenage sex comedies. Most had a basic premise of a young man trying to lose his virginity and in a few finding love or learning a lesson. They were usually crude, raunchy, slapstick humor and mostly forgettable low budget and low quality overall. The makers of this film made a high quality film that has great cinematography, killer soundtrack by Tangerine Dream, great acting and a smart script. It elevated itself above movies of a similar ilk and created memorable star making scene that catapulted Tom Cruise from a supporting actor into a box office star. It definitely has stood the test of time to become a modern classic.

​@@larrybremer4930I click on this thread to mention Wally George. Both of them had that natural blonde hair. Wally George was like the Ric Flair of talk show hosts.

@@AliceBowie "Your Outta Here!" I grew up watching his show, I am more than familiar with who Wally George is and was shocked to learn she was his daughter when this movie came out. Truly a case of the apple falling far from the tree.

My niece went to Michigan institute of film with Bob Seeger’s son. My brother was stunned to see him at the graduation.

Downtown La Grange during the 1950’s. Yes, we are that La Grange, home to the famed Chicken Ranch, which was the inspiration for the hit play and film, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. And let’s not forget, ZZ Top’s classic rock song La Grange is about us too.

Saw this in the theater! Brilliant film! So much FUN! And introduced me to Tangerine Dream! Went out and bought their album "Exit" the next day. Absolutely ❤ this movie!!! 😎👍

[@mhc121]

Wasn't old enough to see this when it came out but I remember seeing it as a teenager, I think (bad memory). Had a huge crush on Rebecca DeMornay (as probably every teenage boy that saw this did lol). I think this was her break out role too. Not quite as big as Tom Cruise, obviously, but she was great in it too

[@mikefetterman6782]

Tom was even younger in TAPS with Sean Penn, and All the Right Moves with Lea Thompson and Craig Nelson. He also did another "coming of age movie" with Shelly Long (cheers) called LOSIN IT.

[@americanmutt9089]

My best friend and I used to tell each other, "Sometimes you've just got to say What the F*^K." and "If you can't say it you can't do it." when we were headed into something a bit risky. This movie and Fast Times at Ridgemont High were our coming of age movies as Seniors in High School. Another good underrated coming of age movie was Vision Quest starring Matthew Modine.

[@wilsonserv]

Love Vision Quest. Shute was my Jr High inspiration to start taking my workouts seriously.

[@rickwelch8464]

As a high school sophomore Rebecca De Mornay spent entirely too much time in my head after seeing this, and I had an affinity for trains somehow.

[@jasonmedeiros5188]

Another Tom Cruise movie you may want to watch when he was really young is "All the right moves" check it out!

[@billross7245]

"Who's the U-Boat commander?" One of my favorite lines from the film.

[@LordVolkov]

"I've got a trig midterm tomorrow and we're being chased by Guido, the killer pimp..." My favorite line of the movie and also the kickoff to my favorite Tangerine Dream track - Guido The Killer Pimp 🤣🤣🤣

[@michael-v6b1n]

I like, "who's the U-boat commander?" as catfish fall out of that beautiful Porsche.

[@charlie.on.youtube]

I completely forgot that Joe Pantoliano was Guido!

[@garymcallister4128]

"Get off the babysitter," the line that fueled 1000 jokes! And "Guido the killer pimp." And "Who's the U-boat commander."

[@OUsniper1]

Finally! Someone reacting to Risky Business :) I hope you watch a young Tom Cruise in The Color of Money 1986 sometime soon.

[@ericdulyon4601]

4:34 I forgot that booger is in this movie too, From revenge of the nerds. So good to see him

[@anbalbach]

saw this movie in the theater at age 20 while living on the north shore in Chicago and taking the el to a summer job every day. Great date movie.

[@bugvswindshield]

This Movie launched Tom Cruises career. side note: This was released when I was a Jr. in high school. We went to the "big town" Yakima Wa. There was the drag, where everyone still went down the road showing of their muscle cars, hot rods and racers. And there were "ladies of the night" on the side walks. We would throw pennies and hot dogs at them and shout " go tell Guido (the killer pimp)" Ah, I'm not proud of it, yet I still chuckle at the memories 😋

[@zawzall]

I know this was difficult for Cassie to watch but you still got the laughs. More over the anxiety we all felt when we(53) watched this movie. No one ever had these parties but the fantasy of the incredible Rebecca Demorne as a girlfriend. Ugh!! She is forever etched in my brain. Great reaction, thank you. Watch out for Guido the killer pimp!!

[@THOMMGB]

In Risky Business, Tom Cruise plays a U boat Commander, as I recall. Also, the reason Joel was driving the Porsche and doing backwards donuts is that he was turning the odometer back. That ploy doesn’t work on all cars, but it did work on some cars.

“Porsche, there is no substitute.”

[@alanflor703]

The 928 is still my favorite.

[@zedwpd]

@@alanflor703 The German Corvette. Rear drive, front engine V-8. I had to sell mine 4 years ago to pay for surgery after coyotes attacked my dog.

His best line, IMHO. Love how he pronounces it the proper German way, so cool.

[@JohnnyUtah15]

@@alanflor703 Same here. Always wanted the '79 928 since watching the movie in the theater. Beautiful car.

[@MuchuutheSensible]

'Is this a fantasy or is this real?' The movie nailed it with the realization that the occurrence was 'fantastic.' A series of wild and unexpected events that blur the lines between reality and fantasy. Him hooking up was surreal.

I've got a buddy names Joel, and to this day, whenever I call him and he answers, I go: "Hello, Joel... I'm Jackie... How are you this evening?" lol
