[@countdebassi]

@@noutheticcounseling5447it’s when Lane stands on the overpass contemplating whether to jump. Charles pats him on the back and Lane falls off the overpass into a garbage truck passing below. Two workers make the comment as the truck passes with Lane seated comfortably among the refuse.

Better Off Dead one of the best comedies from the 80s with an awesome soundtrack!!!

[@71tarheelfan]

I loved Badger...and the book he bought, "How to pick up trashy women." Classic!

[@MS-mi4mv]

It's a good book!

The full soundtrack! Oh, it's a Christmas miracle!!

[@Bungle975]

Always liked the music from this movie. I think in the hands of Duran Duran, Tears For Fears or the like, this song would’ve been in a hit in the 80’s.

[@spencerallison3196]

Definitely has a Duran Duran sound with a base guitar like that. Reminds me of Rio

[@sithlord8012]

It sure sounds like both groups. The chorus sounds a lot like Duran Duran.

[@roleplayingunlimited1111]

I spent a good chunk of my life convinced this was Duran Duran 😅🤙🏻

[@kpmac1]

I actually thought it was Duran Duran when I first saw the movie.

[@michaelcolello2735]

For a long time I thought this was Duran Duran. (I also mistook the film's closing track for the Fixx.) Some new wave clones on this soundtrack.

[@Khm89787]

Having a serious 80s flashback listening to this song! Omg

[@stephenedwards8934]

Absolutely love this song!! Right there with ya!!!

Comment I was looking for thanks

[@digipimp75]

One of the most quotable films ever... so many classic lines. I can't believe that John Cusack has such hatred for this film and never answers any questions about it.

[@leftyhara3876]

+digipimp75 He hated that after doing this movie he couldn't get any other kinds of roles; everyone wanted to see a sequel or a reprise of his performance in this movie. As it is he was in other teen comedies, "Sixteen Candles", "One Crazy Summer", "The Sure Thing'; Everyone kept comparing other movies to "Better Off Dead".. because they wanted more... and he wanted more serious roles. If you haven't seen it try "One Crazy Summer". It was an attempt to recapture the feel of "Better Off Dead". it was pretty funny.

[@pyrrhus17]

If you ask me that's the kinda "stuck"in a role I would love to be in.( beloved ) and he is an ass for hating it .

[@gregwinston4625]

+Lefty Hara Thing is, he had many roles that were very different from Lloyd in Better Off Dead, and more serious. SO many, and in films of note, like Say Anything, High Fidelity, Gross Pointe Blank, Being John Malkovich, The Grifters. So he was hardly typecast, and I don't get why he has to be such an ass about B.O.D. - which is a hilarious, clever, cult classic, beloved by millions.

[@gregwinston4625]

You are SO RIGHT about that, WOW! CRAZY how many brilliant quotable lines in this movie, what a treasure. For the last 30 years, every time anyone orders corn at the restaurant, or serves it at dinner, I chuckle..."He likes corn...". Corn for Christmas, lol!!!

[@1vapookie]

Whoaa I never knew that smh that's corny

[@DamonPerry]

I want my Two Dollars!

[@PoppedPodcast]

You can hear the production value that went into Howard Jones albums. That chorus, though, it's so Duran Duran, Rupert was a genius.

[@matttipton6009]

I thought for sure this was Duran Duran when I saw this way back then. Still a great movie today!! And dammit this song was catchy too!!

[@ixanongamer9508]

Finally bought this movie and I forgot how great the music was in this. Love this and one crazy summer… John’s best!

[@anonymoushuman8344]

Loved this one when I first heard it in the movie in the skiing scene. Love it still

I came for the better off dead comments and you did NOT disappoint me. Also... this song makes my skin tingle, and i'd love to hear it covered by Chvrches.

I had this cd but lost it. I need this soundtrack going skiing and need it in my ears so I can live the the 80's. Only good part of the 80's for me was this movie, skiing with ski club friends, and this soundtrack, and I did not have to work. Only part time dishwasher teen stuff and then you get fired and were happy about it! Where is my two dollars!!!! Wait I was making $2 an hour!

Has anybody ever figured out why the big artists like Howard Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Van Halen don't appear on this soundtrack? It's really strange to have received clearance for use in the film, but not the corresponding soundtrack, since these songs are used to sell the whole package.
