those were the cleanest looking prison in mates i'v ever seen !! and that's also yeardley smith [voice of lisa simpson!] as one of her friends !! yes i confirm it as well this was what the eighties looked like in all it's neon glory great song !! enjoy the night!
Amen. I re-watched this the other night and felt the same way. This is one of the better time capsules of that era; it's so guilty of being an 80's period film and it wasn't ashamed of it that's one reason why I love it so much.
I’m a 39 yr old black man that just woke up in my car at 2 in the morning in Vegas and for some reason this song was on my mind so here I am. God bless the 80’s 😩
True that, especially since they’re getting indoctrinated into woke(fascist communist). 80s-90s was truly free, no bullshit identity politics. We all got along, we didn’t see color, we saw human beings, loved everyone.
Question, if all they do is redo all our great movies and shows and whatever from the 80s and 90s then what the hell they gonna look back on when they are old? Seriously, they got nothing
Almost right, we didn't come home when it was dark but we didn't think twice about getting into the car of a stranger...we were lucky as well but I wouldn't change one thing about what we did in the 80's. in the 70's home before dark but the 80's no way...that was the time to sneak in at 1, 2, or 3 a.m. if it was after that I just passed out where I was. I had great parents. They loved and cared but let me make my own mistakes and learn from them. Man, I could write a book!! Cheers to all the 80's teens from Canada, lets do it again sometime!!
kendra scott That something is people. Lol. The malls are still the same, but amazon and online shopping have made everyone stay home. The malls are becoming deserted. Its progress, but its kinda sad too. Malls were so much fun.
Malls were the Facebook of the 80's... It where you went to meet your friends, find cool clothes, meet girls.. And eat fast food.. I'm glad I was born when I was.. God is good :)
In 80's Things honestly smelt better - Malls, Movie Theatres, *Arcades (member them),* Dr Offices, Carnivals & esp. Pizza Parlours ( Which don't exist anymore, like PIZANO'S & PASQUALIES ) ! Almost like The air was cleaner or something back than.. Everything but maybe some food's were cheaper, so were comics (which were e everywhere back than) Women were naturally Hotter w/ out All the artificiality & fake "add-ons" of 2020.. I'll Always Treasure them memories.. Even the late 90's destroys the 21st Century.
ncavlleguy 80s were better than 70s. Those 70s concerts were crazy because hardly any security. It also sucks I live in Buffalo, NY SNOW CAPITAL OF USA got that name from 1977 Blizzard winds 80mph 19 feet of snow City & Schools closed for 3 weeks. That winter it snowed every day in January. Lake Erie has a mind of its own, 2 years ago 8 feet in 12 hours. Even now we average 10 feet from the Lake. Of all Citys near 5 Great Lakes why Buffalo gets most snow. Always WHITE XMAS IN BUFFALO
Godamn it I miss the Fucking 80’s........it’s almost to hard to listen to. Slammed with feelings of childhood regrets and memories....crazy how We had no clue that when we used to watch all these movies, that they’d turn into these emotional bookmarker’s for my past. Everything was so simple but seemed so hard...good times !......better times
Super J, it does hurt to watch these films. Life seemed so open and free. And now, it seems like we're stuck. But, just like back then we didn't know where life would take us, we still don't today. Anything is Still possible.
Back in the 80's I would have never never thought of putting the F word on something just in case some younger kids was reading whatever I wrote or just simply because I was brought up better . Had more respect for others and myself. Look at people now. Have to do it just in a comment section of RUclips lol .
80's rock. I was 14 and watched that movie in the theater. This movie was a great representation of what we looked like back then. Great times. Great memories. Life was easy our parents were happy and we had a great economy.
I was a child back then but I grew up loving this movie. They wonder why many of us cringe when they say women were not strong leads till recently. Not sure what they were watching to make that claim.
Now this is the 80’s. Very good times. You kids today will never understand. The music, the clothes, the style, the people, the Malls, the movies, the innocence, Hell... even the food was better. The whoppers were even bigger back then, I kid you not lol. etc. I can’t really put into words of just how good of times this era really was lol. Everything was bigger and grand.
This is a Masterpiece. I remember always watching this movie on cable on HBO when I was a kid. Even if it was on replay I still be watching it. And I like this music. 💯💯💯👍👍👍
I know! I remember bike riding, catching frogs, playing with our neighbors and many pets on the acreage, building snow forts and only coming in for supper or bedtime! Lol no sitting on my phone like I am now! Lol miss being a kid!
When I met Christian Slater at Comic Con last year I made sure to bring up this movie to him. He has to know how many people still love it! Fair is fair.
WOW, time capsule!! Definitely captures the 80's vibes well. I was around 13-15 when this came out. Life was so much more free as a kid. Pre internet and cell phone era, what a time to be alive!!
I was born in 77 and the 80”s I was growing up I loved those days great movies music my wife hates I jam 80”s music all the time and watch 80”s movies today what happed to the world I just sad 😞
Pat Benetar might as well be Pat Buchanan... Neither one is a hair on Joan Jett's MAJESTIC REGAL ass. Ok Pat Benetar is a badass. I'm just Joan Jett sensitive.
The 80”s were the best for movies and music. I’m so glad I was raised in that decade. It’s funny that the teens these days love ❤️ wearing 80’s clothes and listen to are music from back then. If I could go back in time it would be the 80’s where life for me was simple 😉
That was Sunrise mall which was fairly new at that time. Oddly enough it was built right across the street from an older dying Padre Staples mall. Decades later, the Sunrise mall is now the dying mall like so many other malls across the country and Padre Staples mall continues to grow and is stronger then ever.
Malls were the center of the social world for teens and people of all ages. Pretty much everything you used to do and see at the mall is compressed into the internet. People don't go to the mall anymore, they shop on Amazon and nobody talks to one another or hangs out in person, they just Instagram/Snapchat and text one another. Half the malls in existence in the 1980s are now, sadly, decaying and empty shells of themselves or are just completely gone, demolished and replaced by some other housing or retail development. I grew up in suburban St. Louis in the 1980s and one of the malls I used to go to in junior high is completely gone, torn down and the other is slowly dying as tenants keep leaving in droves. Very sad.
@@TheJer-jg4nz lol I find the word underrated to be overused on RUclips. It is ridiculous. It's under every post and in almost every other comment. People aren't thinking. These people, vids, whatever, are not underrated. That's why they're on RUclips to begin with! And it's why people are looking them up!! Exactly because they are not underrated!
Agreed!! She was/is still a fantastic artist and singer, and a revolution in making a female rocker known and accepted. Even as far back as the movie "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" her style was worn by MANY young women of the time and really stood out. Invincible made Pat Benetar even more famous, and made Helen Slater a dream for many teen boys lol. Long live the 80s!!!
John Llewellyn Rolling Stones played Buffalo, NY 6 times, bummer Led Zeppelin cancelled 1977 when Robert Plant son passed away. Even Allman Brothers & Lynyrd Skynyrd came to Buffalo. Never forget Mick Jagger opened saying HELLO BUFFALO. It sucks we have to deal with 10 feet of snow every winter from Lake Erie. Buffalo was called SNOW CAPITAL OF USA after 1977 Blizzard. I would too it snowed everyday in December & January. 19 feet we got that year, we still had snow on the ground in June. Citys & Schools closed for 3 weeks. We only got Visitors because Niagara Falls is close. Crazy of all Citys near 5 Great Lakes why Buffalo gets most Snow. Oh Yea Buffalo Bills Losing 4 Superbowls & were also labeled a Big Drinking Town, I think that's because we have lots of IRISH Familys in Buffalo. 1 good thing were called MIAMI of the NORTH because we have lots of 90 degree days in summer. Always WHITE CHRISTMAS IN BUFFALO
Remembering seeing this senior year of high school. We loved pat B. And this is timely now, women know the assignment and are taking care of each other- most of them. We really are battling for our lives. We are a force !
HAHAHA. I remember how cool I thought I looked with one dangling feather earring. Feathers clipped to my hair too. Long men's dress shirts over my jeans. Thanks Dad! Loved the 80s though. Never saw this movie. I hope I can see it sometime.
Oh my feeling a little nostalgic right about now. How I sure missed the 80's. It sure was the best. Remember oh to well watching this movie and all the wonderful 80's movies like The Wraith, Teen Wolf, Teen Witch, Weird Science, Monster Squad, The Lost Boys ect.., so much more. Also listening to 80's freestyle and watch real MTV and VH1 where they actually played music not all this reality tv. Kids and teens in this time have no clue as to what living is really like. That was living life not now. Things sure aren't the same at all. 😢😢😢😢😢
I Truly Miss The Movies Then. Not These Disgusting Sex Movies That Now These Children Watch. I Remember If My Folks Said Not To See A Movie That They Did Want Us To See. We Did Not See It Until The Age Was 18 Not Like Now 10 Years Old.
I can remember as far back as the very end of the 1950's, the 60's, and the 70's. I was in my twenties and thirties in the 80's and I knew even then how special that time period was. Decades later, and many years older, I claim that time as my own, and I am "stuck" in the 80's forever.
Watched Pat Benatar about 3 years ago live. I think she was 61 at the time. She was awesome. Still sounds fantastic. If you get a chance to see her, do it. She is still a rock queen.
I was born in 1975, so this music was the soundtrack of my childhood. This song screams of summer! Endless days on our bikes, hanging in our clubhouse/hideout, bottle rocket wars, building go-carts, nighttime games of manhunt, whiffle ball, ...........and just playing outside till it was dark out! The summer back then had a different feel. No, .....really. It just felt different. Maybe it was the shrinking ozone layer we were all warned about? Not sure, but the summer sky was hazier, almost orange. What a time to be a kid! I drove through my home town on Long Island last summer on a Saturday afternoon. Not one kid outside. Not one. It made me very sad. Back then, there were "gangs" of us out. Not sure what happened, but it must be terrible to be a kid nowadays, ........or perhaps the kids now don't even realize it. Cheers to my childhood!
80s CHILD I was born in 72...and can relate to everything you just said. My neighbor's kid has to ride his bike back and forth on a closed in driveway...with a full gear of helmet/pads while she watches. So sad to be a kid nowadays...no movies, music, NO CULTURE.
I hear you, Carlos! My wife and I are not raising our three kids like that. Always outside. We see neighbors in our town who actually drive to the end of their driveways in their cars to pick up their kids from the bus, which stops in front of EVERY HOUSE, and drive them back up the driveway to the front door! Pathetic! Cheers Carlos!
Yup and I am not positive but abandoned theme park was called magic isle for all us Bluff Rats,,lol (Go Hornets ! ) Great Movie and Pat B killed the music as always, Hope to come home soon, God Bless TEXAS!!!
trey chic a lots changed. the old Mall is now the new Mall. The bluff has grown too. Buc days & Bay fest still goes on. supposed to get a new & taller harbor bridge.
"The Legend of Billie Jean" Will forever be a top 10 movie in my list. Thank you to all the actors and the director of that movie and thank you to Pat benatar absolute powerful song! 🙏🏾💪🏾
Have you ever noticed that post millenium kids do not have any 'adventure moives'? Stand By Me. The Goonies. Explorers. Big. The Last Starfighter. Adventures in Babysitting. The Monster Squad. Whitewater Summer. Where are all the kids adventure movies now???? Are their imaginations being suppressed on purpose??
The 80s were priceless the best time ever clothes movies music everything was so much fun and the way it was meant to be I think . I would literally give up my phone and all this other technology in a heartbeat if us as a world could go back . 80s kids never die !!!!!!!! Legends
You must watch it. It's a movie with nice story and good vibes. Helen is awesome. She is cutting her hair and turn into a strong girl. This movie passes lot of messages.
I still need to see it. Supergirl 4eva, though. Earlier, I'd asked if we have new '80s style songs' anymore? I said that I don't know about country, but I like some 'club/trance' (ex. Laura Aqui - After Dark or any Emma Hewitt). Elsewhere, someone mentioned Retrowave music.
@@StMichael7 Not EVERYONE did that. A few did, but likely not as many as you'd assume. I grew up going to drive ins. When I was a kid, there were no theaters, only drive-ins and when the drive-ins arrived, they were often too expensive for kids to bother with.
So fantastic to see my hometown on screen.. I remember when they filmed here in Corpus Christi.. it’s like looking back in time.. one of my all time fav movies.. and I was lucky to Pat in concert.. legendary 🤙🏽🤙🏽
I was stationed in Beeville Tx.....65 miled from where this movie was filmed, when it was filmed in the Corpus Christi area I remember the casting call for extras.
So glad I grew up in the 80s with all this stuff, and eventually moving onto metal with Headbangers Ball in the late 80s and early 90s. You know, back when MTV (Music Television) actually played music.
Is IT JUST ME OR DOES THIS SONG MAKE YOU WANNA STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT REASONS AND LOOK GOOD WHILE FIGHTING FOR JUSTICE AND THE TRUTH.......I HAVE AND FOREVER WILL LOVE THIS UNDERRATED MASTERPIECE OF A FILM...THIS FILM SHOULD BE SHOWN EVERY SUMMER BEFOR HIGHSCHOOL LETS OUT.......
This song and movie when I was young I loved it. I have had that passion in me to fight bad people who abuse kids. I helped a few friends out of abusive homes before I was 12 years old. Now I am ll46 and have been raped twice. I never told when I was 15 . So this time three years ago I tried and I was not believed and got no help at all from a drug rape. So I now work in the law and will be an advocate to help others to be their voice when they can't speak, to help them fight for justice. . No one deserves that trauma for sure! This is my life's theme song now. .. I will never stop pursuing the criminals who do those things. . Justice has to be dealt.
holy shit, Jamie , I remember you from twitter when I had an account a few years ago....fellow ninja here...hope all is well WHOOP WHOOP! stay sexy ninjette
I lived in Flour Bluff, Texas where most of this was filmed...... as a child of the 80s we past by the Sonic while they were filming :) and the Sunrise Mall scene....
John Staggs would you happen to know where the lake scene was filmed? (the scene where the scooter gets stolen). i suspect it is somewhere off laguna shores but i havent been able to pin down the location.
This is my 18 year old little girls favorite movie and song,she loves the 80s and 90s. She asked me if the 80s and 90s were cool, I said they were freeken awesome! She has all this music in her phone! Her and her friends will keep this music alive!!
Yes children this is exactly what things looked like in 1985. The hair and the clothes. A perfect time capsule of a movie. No joke.
those were the cleanest looking prison in mates i'v ever seen !! and that's also yeardley smith [voice of lisa simpson!] as one of her friends !! yes i confirm it as well this was what the eighties looked like in all it's neon glory great song !! enjoy the night!
im so thank full i grew up in the 80's
I also was thinking, no tattoos at all to be seen anywhere on their bodies, arms,legs.
If you had tats back then you were trash.
Amen. I re-watched this the other night and felt the same way. This is one of the better time capsules of that era; it's so guilty of being an 80's period film and it wasn't ashamed of it that's one reason why I love it so much.
I was born in ‘65. This is a MASTERPIECE!!!!!

Sad really
I know how sad.😊
Exactly real music
It was... and I lived it!
True that, especially since they’re getting indoctrinated into woke(fascist communist). 80s-90s was truly free, no bullshit identity politics. We all got along, we didn’t see color, we saw human beings, loved everyone.

She did San Antonio’s NY Eve Party a few years ago. Freezing and she still rocked that shit!
“FAIR is FAIR”!!!!!!!!!
Many female artist can stand behind her. Few if any can stand in front of her. What a powerful voice. Beautiful women.
"The memories will come back so thick, they'll have to brush them away from thier faces." -James Earl Jones
NOTHIN BETTER THEN THE 80's !!
I'm honored to be an 80's kid
GREAT MOVIE n SOUNDTRACK !.!.!
- Where's Billie Jean ?!... EVERYWHERE 😉😎💙
Hell yeah me too!!
Agreed
Me too I was born in the 80's
What a powerful voice Pat Benatar has! Highly underrated!!!!
WTF..lol. She's NEVER been underrated!! She was a superstar back then, and even today is still playing to sold out crowds
One of my favorite movies in the 80s along with Gleaming the Cube, BMX Bandits and Goonies
Glad I'm not the only one who remembers Gleaming the Cube....skater movies from hell :)
I LOVE Gleaming The Cube. I can't find it on any streaming services.
Gleaming the cube?! Haven’t heard of that one. Must check it out👍
Those were the days.
What about RAD?!...Send Me An Angel?
takes me back to the 80's ❤
one of the most underrated songs of all time - love it.
Underrated? WTF. Lol..
The 80”s were the best for movies and music. I’m so glad I was raised in that decade. It’s funny that the teens these days love ❤️ wearing 80’s clothes and listen to are music from back then. If I could go back in time it would be the 80’s where life for me was simple 😉
back when kids stood up for themselves..unlike today where they run home or to the therapist...pathetic...
Blessed are the chosen who were 80s kids!
Something about malls in the 80s,they just seemed cooler back then!
Art V yeah. You could smoke in them back then. Lol
That was Sunrise mall which was fairly new at that time. Oddly enough it was built right across the street from an older dying Padre Staples mall. Decades later, the Sunrise mall is now the dying mall like so many other malls across the country and Padre Staples mall continues to grow and is stronger then ever.
..they were..and such a more brighter time in the world too
Art V +largely graveyards now.
Malls were the center of the social world for teens and people of all ages. Pretty much everything you used to do and see at the mall is compressed into the internet. People don't go to the mall anymore, they shop on Amazon and nobody talks to one another or hangs out in person, they just Instagram/Snapchat and text one another. Half the malls in existence in the 1980s are now, sadly, decaying and empty shells of themselves or are just completely gone, demolished and replaced by some other housing or retail development. I grew up in suburban St. Louis in the 1980s and one of the malls I used to go to in junior high is completely gone, torn down and the other is slowly dying as tenants keep leaving in droves. Very sad.
One of the best movies and songs when I was a kid growing up in the 80's.
Loved this movie.Helen Slater is beautiful,she can sing,and is one of the most underrated actresses I've ever known.
The word underrated I find to be underrated...........
@@TheJer-jg4nz
lol
I find the word underrated to be overused on RUclips. It is ridiculous. It's under every post and in almost every other comment. People aren't thinking. These people, vids, whatever, are not underrated. That's why they're on RUclips to begin with! And it's why people are looking them up!! Exactly because they are not underrated!
85-86 the peak of the 80’s
Pat Benatar Rocks....Seen her in Dubuque,,,Iowa!!!
This is one of my favorite songs, favorite movies and favorite era. The 80’s and 90’s was the shit!
Hell yeah.
this was one of my favorite Pat Benatar songs. in the 80s she ROCKED!
Agreed!! She was/is still a fantastic artist and singer, and a revolution in making a female rocker known and accepted. Even as far back as the movie "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" her style was worn by MANY young women of the time and really stood out. Invincible made Pat Benetar even more famous, and made Helen Slater a dream for many teen boys lol. Long live the 80s!!!
May Loo Pat Benatar played on New Years Eve & I was so Drunk I kissed a total stranger instead of my GF
May Loo This song and, We Are Young are my all time favorites from her.
@@jamesogrady6612 what was his name?
Pat Benator 4life.
Another one of my 80's jams!! Love Helen Slater"s haircut & look!!! 💘 💘 Pat Benatar & her husband, guitarist, Neil Geraldo, Musical soulmates!💘
"And with the power of conviction there is no sacrifice / It's a do or die situation / We will be invincible!"
Back when I had my whole life ahead of me.
I hear that.
Dustin 3423 You still have the rest of your life ahead of you.
I can't argue that.
Oh Dustin, I feel the same way... peace \m/
No shit brother.... damn
I was 19 when this movie hit the theaters. Great memories 80s.
This is when music was all that, real musicians
John Llewellyn Rolling Stones played Buffalo, NY 6 times, bummer Led Zeppelin cancelled 1977 when Robert Plant son passed away. Even Allman Brothers & Lynyrd Skynyrd came to Buffalo. Never forget Mick Jagger opened saying HELLO BUFFALO. It sucks we have to deal with 10 feet of snow every winter from Lake Erie. Buffalo was called SNOW CAPITAL OF USA after 1977 Blizzard. I would too it snowed everyday in December & January. 19 feet we got that year, we still had snow on the ground in June. Citys & Schools closed for 3 weeks. We only got Visitors because Niagara Falls is close. Crazy of all Citys near 5 Great Lakes why Buffalo gets most Snow. Oh Yea Buffalo Bills Losing 4 Superbowls & were also labeled a Big Drinking Town, I think that's because we have lots of IRISH Familys in Buffalo. 1 good thing were called MIAMI of the NORTH because we have lots of 90 degree days in summer. Always WHITE CHRISTMAS IN BUFFALO
Amazing how these lyrics have taken on a new and dynamic meaning. The fight is timeless! Don't let them steal your rights or brainwash you.
Amen!
FAZ O L QUE PASSA HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI
Speaking to this 4 year old comment - Just wait until you see what they do/try over the next few years.
Exactly
Remembering seeing this senior year of high school. We loved pat B. And this is timely now, women know the assignment and are taking care of each other- most of them. We really are battling for our lives. We are a force !
HAHAHA. I remember how cool I thought I looked with one dangling feather earring. Feathers clipped to my hair too. Long men's dress shirts over my jeans. Thanks Dad! Loved the 80s though. Never saw this movie. I hope I can see it sometime.
Oh my feeling a little nostalgic right about now. How I sure missed the 80's. It sure was the best. Remember oh to well watching this movie and all the wonderful 80's movies like The Wraith, Teen Wolf, Teen Witch, Weird Science, Monster Squad, The Lost Boys ect.., so much more. Also listening to 80's freestyle and watch real MTV and VH1 where they actually played music not all this reality tv. Kids and teens in this time have no clue as to what living is really like. That was living life not now. Things sure aren't the same at all. 😢😢😢😢😢
Zoey Jafferally 80s forever
I was only 11 when they ended but I knew even then there was something special about it. It sucks it all had to change.
I Truly Miss The Movies Then. Not These Disgusting Sex Movies That Now These Children Watch. I Remember If My Folks Said Not To See A Movie That They Did Want Us To See. We Did Not See It Until The Age Was 18 Not Like Now 10 Years Old.
I can remember as far back as the very end of the 1950's, the 60's, and the 70's. I was in my twenties and thirties in the 80's and I knew even then how special that time period was. Decades later, and many years older, I claim that time as my own, and I am "stuck" in the 80's forever.
Zoey Jafferally The Wraith is one of my all time favorite car movies.
Watched Pat Benatar about 3 years ago live. I think she was 61 at the time. She was awesome. Still sounds fantastic. If you get a chance to see her, do it. She is still a rock queen.
Exactly
Just saw her at 70,she sounds better than ever, unbelievable!!!
Love This Song & Film!!!!❤❤❤
I was born in 1975, so this music was the soundtrack of my childhood. This song screams of summer! Endless days on our bikes, hanging in our clubhouse/hideout, bottle rocket wars, building go-carts, nighttime games of manhunt, whiffle ball, ...........and just playing outside till it was dark out! The summer back then had a different feel. No, .....really. It just felt different. Maybe it was the shrinking ozone layer we were all warned about? Not sure, but the summer sky was hazier, almost orange. What a time to be a kid! I drove through my home town on Long Island last summer on a Saturday afternoon. Not one kid outside. Not one. It made me very sad. Back then, there were "gangs" of us out. Not sure what happened, but it must be terrible to be a kid nowadays, ........or perhaps the kids now don't even realize it. Cheers to my childhood!
80s CHILD
I was born in 72...and can relate to everything you just said. My neighbor's kid has to ride his bike back and forth on a closed in driveway...with a full gear of helmet/pads while she watches.
So sad to be a kid nowadays...no movies, music, NO CULTURE.
I hear you, Carlos! My wife and I are not raising our three kids like that. Always outside. We see neighbors in our town who actually drive to the end of their driveways in their cars to pick up their kids from the bus, which stops in front of EVERY HOUSE, and drive them back up the driveway to the front door! Pathetic! Cheers Carlos!
This movie was shot in Corpus Christi Tx... Awesome Movie!
bullshit D Luyo I was there and a good friend was an extra at the beach seen,
trey chic
the harbor bridge, the Tule lift bridge, the island bridge by packery channel, sunrise mall escalators,....
Yup and I am not positive but abandoned theme park was called magic isle for all us Bluff Rats,,lol (Go Hornets ! ) Great Movie and Pat B killed the music as always, Hope to come home soon, God Bless TEXAS!!!
trey chic
a lots changed. the old Mall is now the new Mall. The bluff has grown too. Buc days & Bay fest still goes on. supposed to get a new & taller harbor bridge.
Lived there for 7 years and never knew. Hey what do you have when you put 8 Bluff Rats in a room?
A full set of teeth.
This movie was a great memory of our dad. This was the fun days in the 80's.May our daddy rest in Heaven. ❤. We will forever miss you and LOVE you.
helen slater most underrated 80s babe
She was a smokeshow.
My brother met her at comicon a few years ago and she was gorgeous and super sweet!
This was my favorite movie growing up and I still love the song 💕💕💕💕💕
This was my movie! Christian slater and helen slater.
The legand of Billie Jean!
I must admit i miss the 80s
I remember renting this movie so many times back when there was video stores
"The Legend of Billie Jean" Will forever be a top 10 movie in my list. Thank you to all the actors and the director of that movie and thank you to Pat benatar absolute powerful song! 🙏🏾💪🏾
Best time period ever.
Send me back to the 80s and let me be there forever, please...
The 80's were the best of times...hands down!! Music, life, everything. After that it went downhill.
It's not just nostalgia. It was superior. We will not see a decade better.
The 80's still Rock
Loved this movie as a kid. I'll always associate this song with it.
I loved this movie. So glad i grew up in the 80's❤
Have you ever noticed that post millenium kids do not have any 'adventure moives'? Stand By Me. The Goonies. Explorers. Big. The Last Starfighter. Adventures in Babysitting. The Monster Squad. Whitewater Summer. Where are all the kids adventure movies now???? Are their imaginations being suppressed on purpose??
Ther was less tek more time 4 hands on shit cars bikes raidos 2023 great times after 1966
Lots of dystopian stuff
Willow 1988!
Wow great movies out siders goonies
Wow great movies out siders goonies
I'm glad Igrew up in the 80's but unfortunately I have to grow old in the it's all about me, and the how does it affect me era!
The 80s were priceless the best time ever clothes movies music everything was so much fun and the way it was meant to be I think . I would literally give up my phone and all this other technology in a heartbeat if us as a world could go back . 80s kids never die !!!!!!!! Legends
In the 70s and 80s we had this thing called outside. We didn't sit inside on the internet.
Zoomers are pretty much weaned on the Internet. Laych-key kids had no choice but to go outside.
So true Bro
I saw this movie at a drive-in in 1985. Good times.
+RecordWarped Definite good times! I remember this gem of movie! This movie showcases one of our best memories of the 80s!
me too
You are a lucky man
You must watch it. It's a movie with nice story and good vibes. Helen is awesome. She is cutting her hair and turn into a strong girl. This movie passes lot of messages.
I still need to see it. Supergirl 4eva, though. Earlier, I'd asked if we have new '80s style songs' anymore? I said that I don't know about country, but I like some 'club/trance' (ex. Laura Aqui - After Dark or any Emma Hewitt). Elsewhere, someone mentioned Retrowave music.
I remember when this movie was being filmed here, Corpus Christi, I was 24. Great movie, great song.
I did not know it was filmed in Corpus! That is really cool!! I live just north of Houston about 4 hours from Corpus.
One of the best 80s songs...one of the best 80s movies
I remember seeing this movie at the Drive-In theater with my boyfriend in 1985. We were in my dad's 1979 Ford Bronco.
same here me and my girlfriend but mine was a 72 ford maverick
Brenda S. People didn’t go to the Drive In to just watch a movie but to make out or have sex. Lots of jumping cars from the back seat or van
Wow, that’s dope!
Are there still any left in america??
@@StMichael7 Not EVERYONE did that. A few did, but likely not as many as you'd assume. I grew up going to drive ins. When I was a kid, there were no theaters, only drive-ins and when the drive-ins arrived, they were often too expensive for kids to bother with.
So fantastic to see my hometown on screen.. I remember when they filmed here in Corpus Christi.. it’s like looking back in time.. one of my all time fav movies.. and I was lucky to Pat in concert.. legendary 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Shame what happened to the Sunrise Mall. Used to hang out there all the time.
361 represent
Helen Slater was hot as hell in Billie Jean yes one of my cult favorites
I was stationed in Beeville Tx.....65 miled from where this movie was filmed, when it was filmed in the Corpus Christi area
I remember the casting call for extras.
BEE
WARE
OF
THE STING ..
BEE' Ville !! 💥🤣💥
So glad I grew up in the 80s with all this stuff, and eventually moving onto metal with Headbangers Ball in the late 80s and early 90s. You know, back when MTV (Music Television) actually played music.
Pat benatar, thank you for the memories. Saw her a few years back and at 60 ish rocks with the best of them.
Damn she rocks that haircut though, go Supergirl!
Is IT JUST ME OR DOES THIS SONG MAKE YOU WANNA STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT REASONS AND LOOK GOOD WHILE FIGHTING FOR JUSTICE AND THE TRUTH.......I HAVE AND FOREVER WILL LOVE THIS UNDERRATED MASTERPIECE OF A FILM...THIS FILM SHOULD BE SHOWN EVERY SUMMER BEFOR HIGHSCHOOL LETS OUT.......
This song and movie when I was young I loved it. I have had that passion in me to fight bad people who abuse kids. I helped a few friends out of abusive homes before I was 12 years old. Now I am ll46 and have been raped twice. I never told when I was 15 . So this time three years ago I tried and I was not believed and got no help at all from a drug rape. So I now work in the law and will be an advocate to help others to be their voice when they can't speak, to help them fight for justice. . No one deserves that trauma for sure! This is my life's theme song now. .. I will never stop pursuing the criminals who do those things. . Justice has to be dealt.
Definitely
Haven't been styled and feathered
excellent song! killer movie!
+Jamie McMahon Warren brings back so many 80s memories. I live for the day I can buy a snowmobile like at the end of this movie!
+Ninjacatprincess. yes it does. I was a little kid in the 80's. This was 1 of my favorite movies.
holy shit, Jamie , I remember you from twitter when I had an account a few years ago....fellow ninja here...hope all is well WHOOP WHOOP! stay sexy ninjette
i want a scooter, like the one that got trashed, i tried looking for one, but no luck.
Jamie McMahon Warren this song makes me happy while the movie play gives me chills idk why lol
I lived in Flour Bluff, Texas where most of this was filmed...... as a child of the 80s we past by the Sonic while they were filming :) and the Sunrise Mall scene....
John Staggs would you happen to know where the lake scene was filmed? (the scene where the scooter gets stolen). i suspect it is somewhere off laguna shores but i havent been able to pin down the location.
???? Good location query??? I don't know either, have been trying to find
i miss living there but i thought the sonic was in portland my sis worked there. and yes the mall scene! so fun.
This is my 18 year old little girls favorite movie and song,she loves the 80s and 90s. She asked me if the 80s and 90s were cool, I said they were freeken awesome! She has all this music in her phone! Her and her friends will keep this music alive!!
I loved this movie back in the day. it never comes on tv
Great song and one of the best movies from the 80s! Thanks for sharing.
