Things Only Adults Notice In Ferris Bueller's Day Off

- When a first lady of the United States quotes a movie, you know the film has left a mark on culture. Barbara Bush quoted lines from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off in her commencement address at Wellesley College in 1990.
Homages to the iconic movie are still being paid today. Movies like Easy A and commercials for Honda and Domino’s Pizza are still referencing moments and lines from the picture.
There is no doubt that Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is one of the ultimate teen slacker movies of all time, but here are things only adults notice when watching it now.

What other references should've made this list?
Looper another weird thing was the parade. Don't think there's ever been a parade on a school day. Would be kind of pointless
The irony that the actor playing Rooney in this movie with kids pleaded no contest to a felony charge of soliciting a 14-year-old boy to pose for nude photographs.
Jeanie went to the same High School as Ferris, ... wouldn't she had recognized her Principal Mr.Rooney when he breaks into the house? In the movie she says(on phone) & acts like he is a total stranger.
I always wondered what happened to Cameron. He just seemed so depressed. I always wanted to see a sequel about his college and adult days. But, I wondered why they glossed over his depression? He clearly needed help.
How about when Mrs. Bueller is lamenting her day--during the drive home from the police station--she mentions how the commission she lost would've been enough to get Ferris a car... just before he darts across the road, forcing Jeannie to slam on brakes, thus distracting the audience from realizing there was one consequence to his actions: screwing himself out of getting a nice, new car.
........Ferris has parents in corporate Chicago/real estate. I think it's evident they're doing fine.
It's clear like water that Ferris got the computer but wanted a car, so if his parents could afford that, an 8-grand keyboard wouldn't be a hassle.
The mum said she would get ferris a new car with the commission from the Vermont people property deal. Are they rich or not?
Yeah, back in the 80's you bet they were.
Yeah. The film is rich kid gets away with everything.
I like to think all their fancy toys are abandoned crap his dad just found in some of his buildings.
"His parents aren't quite that well off."
Hmm, having lived in the Chicago suburbs, I recognized from several scenes that the Bueller's would've have lived in a "upscale neighborhood". With John Hughes making other movies like The Breakfast Club and Home Alone filmed and set in the same area, they would have been rich af.
true
Narrator is obviously a billionaire.
Yeah, them living in the north shore (especially Winnetka) is evidence enough of their wealth.
Yes. No evidence his parents are that well off. And, vintage Ferrari. Um... Wait what? The parents are clearly in a fairly high income bracket.
@@puppetsock That's Cameron's dad. Cameron is portrayed as the rich kid.
Ok, there’s a line which most people miss that makes Ferris an infinitely better character. After they destroy the car and Cameron says that he will take a stand Salone tells Ferris “you knew what you were doing the moment you got up” that means that Ferris took the day off just to get Cameron out of his depression and to try to get him to stand up for himself
I don't know, I don't think Ferris was expecting the valets to take the car on a joy ride and Cameron destroying his dad's car.
Best quote in this movie: “You killed the car!”
I always assumed Cameron died at the end - his dad killed him upon discovering the wrecked car.
I’m in my 40s…and I never picked up on that😂 this is a testament that I don’t think I’ve ever had really good friends (not a sob story, just reality)
The entire movie is one, giant exercise in suspension of disbelief. Come on. We're fact checking Ferris Beuller's Day Off?
Suspension of disbelief is for the 80s just as fact-checking is for the 2020s.
My thoughts exactly.
Yeah, I mean hell, like they let him on the parade float. It's good clean fun, so just enjoy it.
Nailed It! This just proves how pathetic modern commentators are. I think they work for Buzzfeed, or some other idiotic media outlet
@@ReginaldoNepomuceno. Why are so dumb.
Remember the 80's when we were constantly bombarded by good, original, and creative movies? Those days are long gone.
Holy shit. Which 80's are you talking about??!
I remember the 80s, but um...oh, I guess "Jungle Book" wasn't too terrible
Hey now... 80s movies are what todays movie ATTEMPT to be. And they can't do it. Why do you think they are remaking them all And ruining them.
I remember the 80's, but apparently you don't. We LOVE to remember the good, original, and creative movies, but some of us (you) also LOVE to forget all the garbage we were bombarded with.
Seriously, there was a ton of crap back then - just like now - and the crap was far worse than today's crap.
Thank goodness we are now in a time of peace and no longer being bombarded by Movies!
I read somewhere that Star Wars isn’t real either.
WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!? NO WAY!!!
Revisionist history.
Wait what?!
Fart Wars
It's in a galaxy far far away.
This film is honestly a masterpiece.
What I have noticed is the insane amount of things they were able to experience in the space of one school day. The ball game, the art gallery, the stock exchange, the restaurant, the parade, the swimming pool, and all the driving in between. Ferris is so awesome that he can even defy time.
And anyone who lives in Chicago knows that just travelling between those destinations would take an entire school day!
It's a fantasy folks, chill.
Ferris can control time it’s obvious lol the perfect timeline would have been to hit the art gallery around 10am after that mingle at the parade for a bit go to restaurant and be at game in time for first pitch leave game early enough to get back to back home before his parents got home I know it sounds wild but he could have planned everything based on his parents routine he knew his parents would check up on him At some point and had to be home to answer phone lol
Actually, if I was a drunk/dope smoking teenager again in the 80s on a skip day, I could probably get most of this done. Exchange then gallery, then a swim, have some lunch, see some parade and hit an afternoon double header. Traffic wasn’t that bad in the 80’s and I had a car. My girlfriend was better looking too. Off the top of my head I recall one day we skip class after 1st period, went drinking at a buddies house, the space shuttle blew up, we went to lunch, performed in an airband competition at high schooled, were threatened with school suspension for cross dressing during the air band thing, then crossed a border to go drinking in a bar. My buddy who was still wearing a Tina turner wig for some reason had sex with a stripper in my car. The rest of the afternoon and into the evening got considerably more out of hand.
Epic!
I was an adult when it came out and I recognized it for what it was: a high school student's fantasy. Therefore, there was really nothing to criticize.
Rename the video "things only people hell bent on not having fun notice in Ferris Bueller's Day Off".
If you're asking why Ferris has an 8 grand synth in his bedroom then the movie isnt for you.
It was a pretty crap list. I thought they were going to pick up on ADULT culture references, naughty INTERESTING stuff... Nope, just a crappy list of minor errors.
Alistair Thorn p
@@trex2957 "Errors". They're only errors if the filmmakers intended on making it realistic. If not - if it was a satire of some type - then I'd expect they were intentional.
SAME!
Hahaha exactly!
"that would make him the envy of any 80ies teen."
THAT WAS THE POINT.
He WAS the envy of every 80ies teen, in the actual movie or watching the movie.
When millenials try to analyse the ‘80s 🙄
As a teen in the 2010's, he was the envy for me too
🤣🤣🤣IKR!
Even his own sister.
This is Ferris Bueller we're talking about, after all. He was probably given that synth keyboard by Depeche Mode!
The most important thing most people miss.
Rooney severely injured the dog.
Paramarta, no, that was a huge sticking point with me and many others I think. That should scene should have been cut out or never happened actually. Rooney could have bought the dog a Gyro, Chicago hot dog or Deepdish Pizza. It would have fit SO much better
@@bobbyhullfan1077 😂🤣
Fair point, but the audience is informed that the dog is totally fine because we not only see it wake up, but also get its revenge by attacking Rooney at the very end. If they had just left the dog in the alley, that would be dark!
@@DarkHelmet1976 I must admit I was rather aghast when I saw the dog lying there apparently dead from getting hit by that flower pot, but relieved when it woke up and attacked Rooney. I wasn't worried about Rooney. 😁
Your absolutely right. When I watch a comedy I never pay attention to how funny it is but rather count the minutes it takes to do things in real time. What a great date you must be.
Some of this pretty easily explained
1) The keyboard. It seems to stand that his parents are well off. His dad is eating at a very exclusive, members only club which would indicate they have money. And clearly Ferris is capable of talking anyone into anything.
2) We have no idea how far or close Cameron lives from the school. For all we know the school is just around the corner.
3) We are never told they are in a "super serious" relationship. Or have even been dating long. Ferris is impulsive which would be why he asked her to marry him.
4) depending on where you live some busses take A LONG time to get home. There are also After school busses that take kids home that stay for extracurricular activities such as clubs and sports.
D.M.Turner nailed it
also...the fact that he has all those things go further to the absurb point that he doesnt have a car
Point is, it was made to be funny, not to make perfect logical sense. People are so stupid these days.
And when Ferris picks her up from school Rooney was already on the steps with her waiting.. We have no idea how long they were waiting, only that they were waiting.
I guess my school was the only school to ever have late buses.. Our's was on Tuesday's and Thursday, there was a 6pm late bus for ppl who stayed after school for tutoring or whatever.
When Cameron was in Egypt’s land--
Let my Cameron goooooo
good point
Ferris Bueller’s day off is the best film ever made in history! Save Ferris!!
Yu Tuzz ferris buellers day off is my favorite movie ever
Yes
Yu Tuzz True that
@@savannahwagner8240 Mine too. But I did come up with a list of 15 others that are my all time favourites or if not will be.
You misspelled The Blues Brothers.
One thing I notice as an adult is how much looper blows. There is nothing worth mentioning here.
I'm 50. If a friend of mind points these out to me, he/she would no longer be my friend
principal in the movie hit the sister's butt, shrugged off the dad (ferris) making out with the daughter (gf) thing and was convicted of child molestation later on. That guy also appeared in howard the duck as the bad guy. He had access to dozens of children while working and if this movie was so laissez faire about incest and principals touching students butts, its likely because the director and producers were pedos too. Hollywood has been trying to normalize this evil behavior for fifty years. At some point we, as a people, have to say NO MORE. No more statute of limitations, no more laws that make molestation a lesser crime than raping a full grown woman, no more judges giving only probation for abuse, NO MORE LETTING THOSE WHO STAND BY AND DO NOTHING GET AWAY WITH NO CHARGES!
P Stead :"there's nothing worth mentioning here"
...
I politely disagree. I just very recently rewatched the movie, and while most things mentioned here escaped my attention, the "gifts and flowers" raised my eyebrows.
Because that point is valid. Who brought that stuff into the house and decorated the hallway with it?
I'm pretty sure I didn't notice that when I saw the movie as a teenager...but today? Yeah - it definitely stands out.
Never mind the fact that their house is a 7 bedroom, 5 bathroom, 4900 square foot house with a pool. It's worth 1.6 million today, and Cameron's house was designed a a famous architect. Obviously just based on the fact that he had a vintage Ferrari that was worth 6 figures back then also adds to teh fact that both families were very well off.
Yeah the house is in Longbeach.
It’s been over 30 years and I still want his bedroom!!
The bus that you called the "late bus" is in fact exactly what it is. In my HS we had the late bus to take you home from after school activities and practice
Even as a kid I noticed that Ferris had unbelievably expensive electronics in his room. I had to conclude that his parents are, in fact, rich.
And the best part about it all is.... none of these details matters when it comes to enjoying the film!
Agreed, that is why I don't watch any 'Everything wrong with .... movies, videos any more. I don't watch movies, any movies, and look to see what is wrong with them. Exception - I dislike, very much, movies based on otherwise great books where entire parts of the book are completely destroyed.
One of the greatest movies of all time. And as someone who grew up throughout the 80’s and 90’s in the Midwest in a middle class family and spent a lot of time in Chicago, I relate to all John Hughes’ movies on a crazy level. But with all of this, keep in mind, it’s a movie!! No movie is total reality. Crap, half the stunts Ferris pulls in the movie would likely never work in real life. But we’d like to believe they would, and wish they would. And that’s a whole lot of what makes the movie so much fun.
Even more strange is how Jeannie didn’t even recognize her own principal when he was in her house.
Excuse me but if Ferris has an " 8k Synth" and lives in a house THAT big, then his parents are VERY "well off!"
hey, just bcause theey richh doesn't mean my live ain't hard as other okay get it right an you will all an is be
@@farrisbueller7795 - Whaat?? Are you off your meds again, Farris??
No evidence that Ferris's parents aren't well off? Big ass house, real nice cars, big ass house in a rich ass suburb of Chicago. Yep, they are right, no evidence...
Remember Jeanie got a new car for her birthday. Ferris got a new computer. Back then a computer was expensive back in the 1980s, maybe about $1,200 A new car was about $7,000 in the 80s. So Ferris' parents could have had good jobs that paid very well. Ferris' mother was a realtor. A realtor can make over $100,000 a year working full time.
Yeah, its like the people that say theres no evidence that socialism has ever been tried before. Or the people that say theres no evidence that hating white people is racism.
They even mention his dad working at the stock exchange. Rofl!
And PUBLIC school?
Besides Ferris is that sort of kid that could charm a store owner into giving him what he wants for a fraction of the price
I have seen this movie about 50 times and I won't be bored watching it again.
I've seen this film at least 200 times since 1986 lol
+shitfoo no.
ChowDownDetroit [Seoung Lee] THANK YOU. AMEN.
It's a movie that I can watch, then watch it the very next night and not get bored of it.
Same with Terminator 2 and The Blues Brothers. Best films in my opinion.
Back when it came out on cable, I found it amusing for a couple of viewings. Beyond that, I didn't care to watch it anymore. "Better Off Dead"... that, I could watch over and over.
"Two dollars!!!"
"I heard that you were feeling ill. Headaches, fever, and a chill. I came here to restore your pluck. Cause I'm the nurse that likes to"
🤣🤣🤣👍
The rules of space-time do not apply to Ferris.
That’s all you need to know.
PROTEST!
Almost all movies (non documentaries) require a suspension of disbelief.
Even some documentaries, considering that a) truth is often stranger than fiction, and b) many documentaries either stretch the truth or outright lie.
Stay tuned, folks. Next up... we fact check Home Alone. It's chock full of ulikely scenarios and absurd stunts that every adult was already fully aware were merely comedic farces. "/
Barney Rubble - You have to find the flaws in the Airplane movies. People keep telling me things about them but I don't see it.
lmfao
Merry christmas ya filthy animal
@Ken D Ralph Foody " use of unessesary violence in the aprehension of the blues brothers....has been approved
I can and do watch this movie over & over. I laugh every time
the dialogue is so good and well written and the film is so well shot and edited with a fantastic soundtrack I look past all the points in this video.
You're not alone. Jan 2024 and the like to dislike ratio is 2:1. That's pretty high. On average, it's more like 10:1.
The fact that you didnt cut to the "9 times" scene when you said ferris changed 9 times dissapoints me.
james madison
Hey James, the #9 theme runs
thruout the movie. 9 wardrobe changes, 9 absences, G.Howe's
#9 Detroit jersey, etc.
Awesome catch.
Damn, man. I'm 50 and I can't remember how many times I've watched it and never realized it. Like JJ said, awesome catch.
The kids on the school bus at the end was a scene that was supposed to go earlier in the film. The scene would have been intercut with Ferris running home. The scene was scrapped. Then later editor Paul Hirsch suggested to Hughes that the scene be placed at the end of the film with the credits so the audience would stay in the theatre and see the gag at the end with Ferris saying "you're still here?.. Go home" That explains why there are kids on a bus supposedly at 6pm.
Ferris lives in Winnetka, Illinois, one of the richest towns in the U.S. He's pretty well off
A lot of scenes were filmed there but the Bueller family house is in Long Beach, CA. You would think Hughes could have found a house in Winnetka for that...
The girl on the bus is one of the very few movie characters who says their first line after their name appears in the closing credits of the film.
Now that's something only an adult would notice.
Wait - did you think _Ferris Bueller's Day Off_ was a documentary? Or is this the only movie you've ever seen?
Laughing Gravy they're just having fun pointing out inconsistencies and plotholes, christ will you people stop hyperventilating and calm down
dildonius having fun? This is buzz killing at its finest, literally the exact opposite of having fun.
dildonius so off brand cinema sins
🤣
(from memory): "um, he's sick... my best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night... I guess he's pretty sick."
true
Thank you Simone.
They have a point about the bus. In the original cut, Rooney gets on it immediately after running away from the house to get away from Jeanie. It was supposed to be a shock when he shows up and catches Ferris at the door. You weren't supposed to still think he was waiting around for Ferris. However, they moved the scene to the end credits because they wanted to make people stick around to see Ferris' post-credits scene at the end.
1:16
How did you not play the "nine times" scene from this very movie after saying that? BIG missed reference!
The irony of Charlie Sheen playing a guy busted for drugs. Something you only notice as an adult.
That’s not irony.
Tree Corleone I know it's not irony, but that's what most people think irony is. So I wrote it like that for people to understand. But nice of you to notice. :-)
SoldierPayne ...yeah I know what you meant. I just felt like being that guy.
And as an adult you’re still using the word irony incorrectly.
07foxmulder I blame that to not have English as my native language. :-) Born and raised in Sweden.
Damn. Mia Sara was beautiful beyond words.
she rarely spoke in the movie
She didn't have to speak
still
You can see her naked in Time Cop getting it on with Jean Claude Van Damme.
KesselRunner606
Mia was pretty, but I had a
mad crush on Phoebe Cates!
She was my 1st. Then came Jennifer Connelly & Megan Fox.
The "late bus" can be explained: field trip, band practice, sporting event transport, or any number of after-school things.
As for the wealth of the family, um... giant houses, vintage Ferrari (among other cars kept in a glass garage with a polished floor). Both the Buellers and Cameron's family were loaded.
Sloan was a hottie
“Identity crisis” or she could just be a good faker like Ferris only she uses looks instead of charm lol
easy buddy
This is one of my favorite movies.
apparently only adults will notice these unnoticeable things
Granted, I noticed these things the first few times I saw it. Only because every school day from 1986-1990 I contemplated doing everything Ferris did. It IS amazing what I could accomplish as a teenager before the internet and cell phones!
her: ferris changes his clothes 9 times before cameron picks him up in the morning!
me in the principal’s voice: niYNe TiYmes
The producer of this movie was interviewed in later years and said that "one must consider the fact that Ferris MAY only exist in Cameron's mind.".. Making this movie....FIGHT CLUB!!!
Theory: Rooney died and that's a spectral bus taking him to the afterlife.
Like Heart and Souls with Robert Downey Jr!
It was a bus full of poor kids that probably were in detention that day and who live outside of the catchment area on the wrong side of the tracks.
lemsip I think it is probably a joke
@@erinoldcoot3381 That's a good RDJ movie. Also, Only You with Marissa Torme.
That face kick is amazing and kills me every time 🤣
Nine times? I don’t remember Ferris changing his outfit nine times.
"Well I've got it right here in front of me. Wake up and smell the coffee. He's just LEADING you down the primrose path." lol
N I N E
T I M E S
same
That's probably because he wasn't changing. He was photoshopping clothes.
@@trevjo He did have a top of the line (for the time) computer. Why not!
Ferris Bueller's day off is one of those movies I never get tired of watching
This and Risky Business, are 2 of my favorite movies of this time frame, and both are set in Chicago.
I always assumed we were watching what happened to Rooney after he left Ferris' house. I never figured it was in the same time line, but rather watching what had happened to him earlier in the afternoon.
“His parents aren’t that well off” ok buddy sure
The mysterious gifts in the house when Ferris’ parents come home is likely because of deleted scenes. Originally Ferrie and Jeanie had two younger siblings. Likely they were the ones who brought all those things into the house. But John Hughes needed to shorten the film and ended up cutting all their scenes and likely eliminated any scenes of them bringing the gifts into the house.
ya but they woulda been in school too...
@@jonp2338 If you notice the gifts are seen when the parents get home. Likely the two younger kids would have been home around the time Jeanie got home.
I wouldn’t necessarily describe this as “things only adults noticed”
Yeah, adults don't watch FB.
+LINDA H
Are you kidding, I love to watch it. Funny is good for you, and this is Laurel and Hardy funny, can't get funnier than that, and beside it is done without scatological humor.
By the way, I'm 74 yrs young.
And that Ferris did virtually nothing controversial when he had his day off. Everything he did was 'wholesome'.
My high school actually did have a "late bus," for all the kids who had school sanctioned after-school activities. Athletes, school club members, tutors, band members etc all had access to the late busses which was usually at about 4:30 to 5 pm.
-On a few field trips and other out-of-school activities, that bus for me was driving through the streets at five or six
-Both Ferris's parents seem to be in well-paying jobs, so between that and Ferris's persuasiveness, it's remotely possible that he could own that synthesizer.
-Sloane was worried about being caught by Mr. Bueller with no cover. With the giant shades hiding most of her face and the boys in the bucket, she was able to keep cool long enough (though how they all changed positions in that small space in less than five seconds....)
-That ten minutes line might be being taken a little too literally
his sister got the car that he wanted. which was cheaper than the synth and the computer. realistically they should've just gotten him a car instead.
oldfrend I quote, "I asked for a car; I got a computer. How's that for being born under a bad sign?"
His sister's car cost at least 8 grand. He got a computer and that sampler.
-The bus could also have been between Rooney chasing his being-towed-away car, and later, going back to Ferris's house. In between, he might have gotten a lift from the bus and then gotten a rental car to go back to Ferris' house to (almost) bust him.
Marty Klestadt hi
"Ferris changes his outfit 9 times"
NINNNEEEE TIMES
Nine times?
Niiiiinnneeee times.
nice 'get'
Eric "get"?
good catch...good observation.
Eric Oh! Thank ya. Although I didn't come up with it ^^
I don't remember his being sick nine times.
Maybe it's because he wasn't really sick. Been too busy skipping school.
LOL
My favorite movie ever. Any movie can be nit picked for chronology and oddities. Still so 80’s and awesome. Mia Sara so beautiful. 😍
When you ask yourself these questions, remember "it is just a movie". Don't try to make sense of this.
Lots of things in this movie are over the top, but hey, that's part of what makes it so funny.
Mia Sara is absolutely gorgeous in this film. Cameron's phone call to Rooney is the best scene of all. When the line 2 of phone flickers and you hear the bell of death it just kills me, lmao!
Quite a few times my school bus broke down before picking us up from school. They may have extra buses, but not drivers lol.
I remember getting home at 5-6pm a few times.
thank you. we all needed ferris bueller's day off to be dissected.
Considering that the Bueller home is located in one of the most affluent suburbs of one of the most expensive cities in the country, dropping a few thousand on toys for their teen isn't such a stretch.
Beuller's dad drives a top of the line (for the time) Audi 5000, so they apparently have a bit of coin.
jumbofordman and that Chrysler Town & Country LeBaron station wagon that Mrs. Bueller drove was quite an expensive midsize station wagon back in its day too. Yes it was a midsize despite being small by today’s standards.
jumbofordman And his friend's dad had a 1961 GT 250 Spyder, which one recently sold for £5.5 million, which I would expect is north of $10 million American. So we discount it say to half million. He friend has bucks. His mother was a real estate agent and his father was going to lunch at that swanky restaurant after all.
Looper missed the boat on that "fact".
The idiots who make these videos have 3 brain cells among them, so it makes sense.
LoL Long Beach baby thats my town
My school had a late bus for people who participated in after school sports or activities. We also had an early bus that picked me up at 6am for band practice at 7 before school started. Yes I was in the band and on the football team.
Yep. The schools I taught at had this kind of setup as well. Especially on late sports afternoons.
The late bus could've been a field trip
Or it simply happened earlier. After Rooney was chasing after his car and before he returned to the Bueller house.
Good try, but what school trip comes back after 6, unless they went to a Six Flags kinda trip, driving through the suburbs, kids with school books.......really.....this whole movie was a FANTASTIC FANTASY.......NO NEED TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING AT ALL
@@2riverageo I think it was based on a true story
If you weren’t young in the 80s, you missed out on the most fun and optimistic decade ever!!
That school bus at the end could be coming home from a field trip.
good show ol chap i think we crack the case my dear watson
Who takes kids to a field for a trip, Some sort of hippie farmer???
I think you got your words mixed up man.
You guys missed the most obvious adult thing: Rooney sees what he thinks is an adult man french kissing his own teen daughter and responds by shrugging it off with a "So that's how it is in their family." WHAT THE WHAT!??!?
Ferris was kinda dressed like a Frenchie.
You still don't understand his comment.
Troll.
That guy was later convicted of child molestation. Looper doesn't mention it because its too obvious or too dark for this vid. He also hit ferris' sister's butt. I think the look on her face says that was ad-libbed. But to insert the dad makeout scene in the movie tells me the writer and producer and or director are trying to turn incest in to something funny or normal. Thats hollywood for you.
It were different times...
What amazes me more in these movies are the actors that they cast for playing teen high-school kids. Cameron 30y old, Ferris 24y old, Sloan 19y old.
Just HOW IN THE HECK was there enough TIME in a 6 - 7 hour-ish school day for:
A Ball Game
A Parade
A fancy Lunch
etc
"If I'm going to get busted, it's not going to be from a guy like that!"
They didn't stay for the entire game. They went to the parade passing through and stopped for Danke Schoen (2:33) and Twist and Shout (2:49) so that was under 6 minutes. As the Sausage King, he received quick service at lunch (easily under an hour). I think you just linger too long on RUclips :)
There was plenty of time because the script said so.
Not to mention the Art Institute.
Not unrealistic to believe that they both live less than 10 minutes away from their school. They could live around the corner for all you know.
Yes but how did they have the argument after the phone call, make up, go to Cameron's house, pick up the Ferrari and then get to the school within 10 minutes?
MavenCree 10 minutes isn't usually taken literally. It's way of saying "I'll be there or see you really soon".
You need to understand "Chicago time". 10 minutes = a half hour or more. I found that out the hard way one time when I asked how long it took to get to the church for a wedding.
Exactly. I lived with in walking distance of every school I lived in except high school, and if the district hadn't decided to build a new school, instead of fixing the old one, it would have been. And yes, a LOT of walking to and from home that took maybe 10 minutes at most.
And it could have taken more than 10 minutes for them to inform the school nurse and have her go get Sloan out of the class and then meet up with Rooney and go outside. And they had a Ferrari.
John Hughes grew up rich. His movies reflect that for the most part.
Not rich, more like middle class.
@shitfoo Which means having a whole lot less stuff these days.
No, his movies are never from just one perspective-his talent lay in accurately depicting kids from poor homes, wealthy homes, nerds and popular kids, stoners and jocks, etc. He understood everyone, not just the rich kids, which is why his movies are still very watchable. Watch The Breakfast Club. Also, ignore Looper-this bit is complete bullshit.
+Brandon Wiesner have no idea what you're talking about dude. Dorothy b is right. some characters are poor, (Pretty in Pink) most are middle class. Although in Home Alone the family is pretty wealthy. Looper is complete shit.
Yup, because nothing screams "I am poor" like having a cell phone.....Lol

As many times as I’ve seen this movie, this is the first time I realized he has a Killing Joke poster. Good stuff.
Regardless, this is one of the best movies of all time.
We can thank John Hughes for so much American cinema nostalgia
Indeed we can.
God, I love that movie. A true classic.
I legit thought Sloane and Cameron were going to get together , just the way they looked at each other and their scenes
Cameron gets nothing. His character was designed that way.
@@marccolten9801 Cameron gets IBS.
This movie was classic af
That Cameron grew up to be the captain of the Enterprise-B is amazing! ;-P
A lot of ppl have said this. "Never let reality get in the way of telling a great story. "
My school used to have a late bus that left at 6 pm after practices for sports and music.
I used to have such a kid crush on Mia Sara. She was so beautiful. Between her and the girl in the "Cradle of Love" video, they rocketed me into puberty.
Joey M hard out
Most of these things I realized as a teenager when this movie came out.
I saw it at the theater in 86 when I was 13 and wondered how he managed to change clothes every few scenes. Time/space implausibilities exist in nearly every movie set over the course of a day so I tend to tune them out in general. The nice toys just reinforced that they had wealthy, yuppie parents who in the 1980's were being told to buy kids shit to makeup for leaving a generation home alone.
i call bullshit
That montage never fails to bring me to tears.. would have gone well with the last episode of modern family
I'm 53, and never notice these things, never cared, and never will. Never. Never ever. Save Ferris.
@Hello jerico641, How are you doing?
The school bus can be explained as the extra curricular activities bus! My kids bus for those activities comes after 6.
Yep. Exactly.
Not like that they don't. This wasn't some baseball or softball team coming back from a game. This was an assortment of different types of kids, male/female, nerds/trouble makers. Also they seem to be middle school aged. This was a screw up, but at least it was funny

Saw this like 10x when it played in the theaters..... bought the VHS tape.... the DVD.... paid for VOD when on the road, .... now Blu-ray. Wish I was so Timeless.
Now I have to go back n watch it all over again.
Ever notice how Ferris looks like Mr Gadget character when he goes to the school?. I wonder if he got that part from that scene.
Inspector Gadget, and Sloane's father was a detective with the Chicago Police. Mr. Peterson was apparently a very serious man.
Ever notice that Ferris and Inspecter Gadget are the SAME actor?
Lol loved this movie it was so funny
I thought it was gloomy. Truth of the matter about that era was. That in the 80s there would of been absolutely no reason to take a day off from high school that's how great 80s high school was. So the movie began of balance with me. But I liked the scenes of Chicago. It's just in the nd. There would of been no reason to take a day off from high school 84-88.
ray bon I bet you're fun at parties 😂😂
sucklefucker hardwick NICE!!!! 👍👍👍😂😂😂
The late school bus could be a group of students returning from a field trip. We had some come back as late as 8:00 and needed some drivers to come back then to take the students home
Kristen Swanson resited her lines to me on her 18th birthday. Movie fun
