Rupert Hine - With One Look

EDIT: Okay, I sounded overly negative. The music cues are perfect in this and the movie is a solid film I really enjoy. That said, there's some camerawork that's sloppy (by today's standards):
- You'll notice in the first shot, Lane is holding the sax with two hands. Then, after an angle change, he has an arm around Monique.
- You can see many, many bicycle tracks across the grass, making it obvious the final take was take number twelve.
- The camera work is terribly shaky as they pan up toward the Los Angeles skyline. Where was their tripod?
Trivia: Lane drives his Camaro southbound down CA-2 Glendale Fwy toward Dodger Stadium. The film crew set up their shot from a hill above the freeway off Round Top Drive.

One of the best movies and ending. The ‘80s were amazing. No decade will come close.

[@sandrofrias1635]

I agree

[@JayO1963]

Totally agree...... No cell phones, no internet, weather was awesome and tv shows where still decent.

1980’s a memory that will never fade in my mind …. I finally bought a 67 Camaro this past summer that I wanted since I seen this movie in 1985

1:49 Should have made a sequel about what happened to the Space Shuttle launched thru the roof by Lane's brother Badger. Based on scale of the parents - I doubt he could fit inside. But hey its just a movie!

I remember it gave me a strange, feeling, wondering if the poor kid could make it back to earth. I know it sounds quite strange, but I was disturbed by that.

For a long time I thought this was a Fixx song. It sounds so close to their sound. Anyone else?

[@danfinkelstein7037]

Fair guess. There is a distinct difference though in the sound of the Fixx vs Rupert Hine

[@stoogefest16]

It also sounds a good deal like Wang Chung. All those angular guitars, spare piano motifs and strident synths sound a lot like WC’s first two records.

Plenty of similar goofs in the most modern, expensive films. "- You can see many, many bicycle tracks across the grass, making it obvious the final take was take number twelve." You can barely notice. Plenty of such errors in modern films. Would have cost them nothing but a little time to erase the lines after each shot, but then...who would notice? "- The camera work is terribly shaky as they pan up toward the Los Angeles skyline. Where was their tripod? " lol. Tripod? That shot wasn't accomplished with a tripod. Likely a crane shot, which is a noisy way to film anything.

[@sha11235]

Well, these things happen in films because they shoot the stuff several times and then take different takes edited together. Here's another one: When Lane draws on the chalkboard with the compass that makes everyone's hair stand on end, there is a cutaway to the students then back to Lane. You can see the line he drew changes between the two shots.
