After listening to a recent interview with Spade I had more of an appreciation for this movie. Micheals refused to give them time off from their SNL job to make the film so they would fly daily to the set of the film and then back to NY to get ready for SNL. They did this the entire time the film was being made according to Spade.

Fun Fact: When Tommy Boy said that "Beverly looks like a 10", that is a callback to a movie actress Bo Derek did in the late 70s, early 80s movie called 10 which co-starred Dudley Moore.

[@moormanpa]

FYI, Beverly is played by Bo Derek, a famous model/actress of the 70's and 80's best known for her role in the 1979 film "10" - hence the joke where Tommy says, "Dad, she's like a 10." In her prime she was labelled the most beautiful woman in the world. ;)

This was the magic of Chris Farley that is so hard to describe. He has this fun energy about him that is just so infectious. But more than that which makes him so beloved is that he really is a great actor that knows how to be serious and really feel for the character. He is not a dumb Peter Griffin, he is a Homer Simpson who has a big heart.

[@brianharris3714]

One of the real tragedies of his death is that we never got to see him explore that potential. He had a couple of “serious” films in development when he passed, including a Fatty Arbuckle biopic. I think with some training he could have been a pretty effective dramatic actor.
