Discuss Ferris Bueller's Day Off

  1. There was a lot less traffic in Chicago in the 1980's that enabled a trio of high school kids to go to several of Chicago's most famous tourist attractions that are pretty spread out from each other all within a school day.
  2. If you do a parade in Chicago with Twist and Shout playing several African American Chicagoans will randomly all of a sudden start dancing in perfect unison without any prior practice or communication whats so ever pretty much doing a flash mob, but again with no prior practice or pre-communication at all.
  3. If you go fast enough in a classic sports car off the right hill in downtown Chicago your car will become the most air born car in cinematic history.
  4. If your principal is currently looking at your total of absent days on his computer screen and you decide to hack into his computer and decrease the total number of absent days significantly right in front of his eyes, he will second guess what his eyes are seeing and wait until you are done hacking him.
  5. Ferris who is a caucasian high school kid claims to not be of European descent nor plans to ever visit Europe.
  6. If your dad thinks he sees you ditching school and in a cab right next to his just hide below your hot girlfriend and have her flirt with him instead. I'm sure your dad doesn't recognize his own son's girlfriend flirting with him.

  1. Visting a doctor's office is worse than school.

  2. If Cameron and Ferris had been at school they would be running laps in gym.

  3. Ferris wanted a car not a computer.

  4. Lick your palms to make clammy hands

  5. You never give up.

  6. Ferris would never ditch his friends and go back to school.

  7. Ferris thinks his best friend would give it up to the first woman he meets and she won't respect him.

-In the 1980s, a high school principal who witnessed one of his students kissing a man he believed to be her father wouldn't promptly call social services afterwards

-There was once a time when Matthew Broderick, the dude who played Cameron, Mia Sara, and Jennifer Grey all looked poised for major stardom. It would've been a unthinkable that by time the 90s rolled around, MB's primary claims to fame would be headlining two highly s--tty adaptations(Inspector Gadget, Godzilla)that no one had any interest in+being Mr. Sarah Jessica Parker, dude who played Cameron would be playing eighth fiddle to Micheal J. Fox and later Charlie Sheen on a sitcom viewed only by housewives and seventh graders, Mia Sara would be reduced to whipping out her t-ts and poonana in direct-to-video fare, and Jennifer Grey's nose job would be more famous than her career itself

LOL yeah kissing your dad passionately as he picks you up from school is not a red flag at all?

You are absolutely right this entire cast was amazing and you'd assume they'd all take over Hollywood. I think out of all of them Jennifer Grey had the biggest movie in Dirty Dancing but nothing much after that.

Didn't MB like manslaughter someone in Europe and that derailed his career????

Mia Sara was incredibly fine as hell in her prime!!!!!!!!

-In 1980s Chicago, a high school kid who had neither his own TV show nor a burgeoning career in pop music could still become so famous, the entire city was sweating upon hearing rumors that he'd taken ill

-Charlie Sheen is the most charming dope fiend ever

-Nobody puts Baby in a corner. Rooney tried, and ended up on the ground, and girl didn't even need to call Dalton from Roadhouse to handle the situation on her behalf

When they painted "SAVE FERRIS" on the water tower that showed Ferris true mass appeal stardom lol. Then a band in real life calls themselves SAVE FERRIS.

I heard Charlie Sheen said he stayed up all night partying to give the real effect of a stoned out criminal look, more like he just did what he always did lol he probably didn't even bother to read his lines until he got there.

Baby had some gravity defying sweet kicks too. Remember she kicked him with both feet in the air simultaneously? She could have won the All Valley Tourney with that move!
