my all-time fav high school movies - made AM Hall's career. "I never bagged a babe..." I still quote stuff from this and nobody knows wtf i'm talking about - lol My kids still haven't seen it, but I can't wait. Now that one has watched breakfast club with me, I have hope :) note: both John and sister Joan Cusack have small roles here
"No more yankie my wankie. The Donger need food!" Fun Fact: John Hughes cast Molly Ringwald after seeing her headshot. Inspired by Ringwald's appearance, he put it up over his desk and wrote the film just over a weekend, with her specifically in mind for the lead role. Trend Sitter Fact: The movie's costume designer begged Molly Ringwald not to wear the hat she wore in the beginning of the movie. Ringwald insisted. After the movie was released, teenage girls started wearing their hats tilted back like that. Slight Oversight Fact: Carlin Glynn (Brenda) confronted John Hughes about the fact that the script didn't call for her to apologize for forgetting her daughter's birthday, despite the fact that her character was described as a good and attentive mother. Hughes agreed, and added the scene where Brenda tearfully apologizes to Samantha (Molly Ringwald).
Love love love this movie. I made coffee for Molly Ringwald many years ago when I used to work at a Starbucks. It’s one of my favorite celebrity encounters I’ve had. Also, the soundtrack for this movie is the best!
My favorite ending scene of any Movie. I was 16 when this was released. John Hughes movies are so special to me . Please check out Some kind of Wonderful and Say Anything.. I adore you
there is a difference between a nerd, geek and dork 1. Nerd: if you have trouble in school and you want some tutoring then you need to go to a nerd. A. nerd can help you with ANY subject . If you can find one that is willing to give you the help you may need to also pay a small price for the service. 2. Geek: A geek is also knowledgeable of particular subject but their area of expertise might be limited to one or two subjects. The subjects might also be non academic. You might have a history geek or a math geek. You might also have one who is a Star Trek geek or a dungeons and dragons geek. 3. Dork: These guys are the type to throw erasers or come up to you and say “hey, pull my finger”
The license plate V58 stands for “Vacation ‘58”, the title of the article John Hughes wrote for National Lampoon magazine. That article was the inspiration for the Vacation movie he wrote starring Chevy Chase. The original National Lampoon article is available online. It’s pretty funny and an interesting piece of history.
It took me so long to realize that was John Cusack. 😂 I didn't find out Joan was the girl with the brace until editing, but I don't think I would have recognized her. I have only seen her in a couple movies ever.
Great movies at the time and place. I was 13 to 16 on this run from 16 candles, breakfast club, and pretty in pink, I don't right into these characters and what I thought high school was going to be like, and what outcasts in HS dealt with.
I've seen this a million times and never noticed the license plate. I'd bet it's a reference to VACATION 58, Hughes' National Lampoon article that the later VACATION film was based on.
It must be due to a generational thing. So many younger people nowadays miss read the scene in the Rolls Royce. Nothing happened sexually between the geek and Jake’s girlfriend. Jake only asked the geek to make sure she got home. The joke was that they had no idea when they woke in the parking lot (fully clothed) what exactly happened the night before. It was completely innocent.
Yes John Cusack and his sister Joan is the one with the neck brace. No they didnt mute Jake's "SOB" he is mouthing it to himself. Jake just told Ted to take her home, nothing else. Since Ted asked her if they did it, I always assumed he got drunk too.
Gotta disagree about Jake. Jake was talking about how she was so drunk anyone could violate her and she wouldn't know. Then they jump to them putting her in the car and he tells him to drop her off when they're done (or finished?). Done what exactly? Just driving her home? He also apologized after. If it was meant to just drop her off, why apologize? Whether they actually did it or not, is up in the air but the intent and validation of supposed actions is there.
@@JayBondReacts Jake said that he could violate Caroline to show he wasn't about just getting a piece and was interested in Sam because it was more than that. "I want a serious girlfriend, someone I can love and who is going to love me back" are his words. He never says drop her off when you're done. He says take her home but you cant leave her in some parking lot somewhere. And later he says have fun, meaning driving my dad's Rolls Royce, And he apologized to her later for introducing them since she didnt get home like he thought. watch it again. ruclips.net/video/Oxo7F75kd6w/видео.html
You're skipping crucial things like "She's so blitzed she won't know the difference" as if this is about driving her home. You say he says have fun meaning driving the car, then why does he say ""She's totally gone, have fun". What would her being "totally gone" have to do with him having fun driving? You're also taking Ted's whole character out of the picture. His entire purpose was to get laid or at the very least be perceived that he's a womanizer. Even after Jake says he can violate her, Ted's immediate response is "What are you waiting for?". Jake is not oblivious to Ted's intentions which is why he suggests he take her in the first place. You're really just passing over the weird stuff as if it's not there.
@@JayBondReacts but she doesn't know Farmer Ted. He's saying she won't know the difference between Farmer Ted driving her home and Jake driving her home.
This is the first time I realized that Stevie Ray Vaughan's Lenny was playing in the background of the scene between Molly Ringwald & Michael Anthony Hall
You need to watch Adventures in Babysitting. It's great. And then Pretty In Pink, which also stars Molly Ringwald. Michael Schoeffling, who plays Jake, left acting shortly after this, and now works making custom furniture. The kid you were asking about starred in Kramer vs. Kramer before this, after this, he just did a bunch of tv guesting roles.
Right on, that ks for the info! Adventures in Babysitting I'm sure I watched as a kid but can't remember anything. Pretty in Pink is definitely on my list as well! Might do Planes Trains and Uncle Buck and come back around for Pretty in Pink.
For some reason everyone today keeps thinking that Jake gave his gf to Ted to be taken advantage of. That's not what he did. He gave Ted the chance to drive her home because he knew that for a guy like Ted that in of itself is the thrill. He let Ted do it because he trusted Ted. That's why he said "Holy sh&t" the next morning when he saw that they were kissing because he was surprised that Ted got anywhere with her. Modern audiences being trained to see things only a certain way. Anyway great reaction.
You were asking about the kid who played the little brother: His name is Justin Henry and before this movie he was in an amazing movie called “Kramer vs Kramer” with Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep. It won a jillion Oscars and you should definitely check it out!
I just started watching and I wanted to mention the binder Sam is carrying at the beginning, has the band name "The Rave Ups" written on it. Molly Ringwald was such a fan she had John Hughes feature them in "Pretty in Pink". The band would perform the song "Positively Lost Me", during one of the pivotal club scenes with Ducky and Andy. I have absolutely loved the song; and the scene it plays in, for decades.
You must not have watched my video. 🤷♂️ Where did I say I was offended? I liked Dong. If you're talking about the SA, and want to advocate that "boys will be boys" stuff, that's on you.
@@JayBondReacts Watching it now! Didn't mean you, sorry. I shouldn't have said "you". Was skimming the comments and this is currently a topic on my FB and so many are, and I'm not kidding, horrified this movie even exists nowadays. It's just ridiculous. Again, my apologies for my perceived attack. I like your reviews!
No sweat, that's fair. There's most definitely stuff that I may find offensive that you probably wouldn't but that comes with different times. It is what it is. Appreciate the clarification.
@@JayBondReacts Absolutely. And there’s definitely times when there are things I may find laughable that you probably wouldn’t and that comes from different times. Keep up the great reactions. 👍🏼
For a movie with Gedde Watanabe (Long Duk Dong) where he a) isn't treated as a blatant stereotype and b) is actually playing Japanese - Gung Ho, with Michael Keaton.
This is one of the best John Hughes "high school" movies. Obviously he wrote a lot of other stuff not involving high school (National Lampoon Vacation movies, Mr. Mom, Home Alone, Uncle Buck, Dutch, Planes Trains & Automobiles, etc.). As for his "high school" movies, by far the best is Some Kind of Wonderful. It does not try to be as funny or over the top as his other movies, it's a bit more serious, more mature, and it works. I'd rank his "high school" movies: (1) Some Kind of Wonderful, (2) Sixteen Candles, (3) Weird Science, (4) Pretty in Pink, (5) The Breakfast Club, .... (6 to infinity) anything else he wrote, (infinity + 1) Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
The song played when the girls are passing notes is "Happy Birthday" by Altered Images. I just noticed that. John Hughes music choice was always fun and clever.
LOL This one is wild, and not all the parts aged well. I don't think it's my favorite John Hughes film, but I'm glad you watched it, as it's a classic 80s film. I think my favorite is Ferris Bueller's Day Off still. Some people don't like Ferris, I will defend him til I die. Excited for Pretty in Pink when you get to that one!
Weird Science I did a reaction too, For Keeps I've never heard of so I'll look into that one, and Encino Man is a movie I watched so much as a kid. Just watched it recently for one of my other channels, it holds up! 😂
@@JayBondReacts I just seen you did do a reaction to Weird Science! I was about to watch it but then came across your reaction to Life Of Brian, just got done with that one! Onto Weird Science!
The younger brother played a cute 7 year old in the movie Kramer vs Kramer. Meryl Streep’s character walks out on her husband (Dustin Hoffman) and their son (Justin Henry). It’s a very good drama.
I hadn’t notice it before, but there’s an Arnold connection with this movie. Sam’s sister and Jake’s friend Rock both worked with him in 2 action films, Raw Deal and Eraser. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this one, it was like watching it for the first time.
I actually watched those ones back in the day, so can't really do a first time reaction, but perhaps if I'm feeling like revisiting some stuff I've seen, I'll keep em in mind!
Watching this again makes me appreciate these scenes even more -- Sam & Ted talking in the car, Sam & her dad on the couch, and Sam and her mom in the hallway, at the end. The actress who played the mom didn't have a scene where she apologizes to Sam, so she requested one. She didn't want the mother to have not acknowledged the screwup.
I think being cool on Instagram is way easier and less sketchy. I just need to show off some horror memorabilia and people think I'm cool. No panties needed. 😂
Although Sixteen Candles was just a middle of the road, John Hughes film, Long Duk Dong was an iconic 80’s character. Without him, this film would be pretty forgettable.
John Hughes has written and directed some of my most favorite movies. I like how he's able to create characters you can relate too, even if they're put into situations that require you to suspend disbelief. Successfully combining realism with ego driven fantasy, and not coming off as perverted, especially with young characters, is not an easy task.
Already did it! It's a rougher reaction editing & talking too much wise, because it was one of the first I recorded. 😂 ruclips.net/video/XOK_ien0hxs/видео.html
Well, if you thought the Jake scene was "kind of messed up" then strap in and prepare yourself mentally before Revenge of the Nerds (if you ever do it). The retro-hindsight woke goggles are particularly cruel to that one. Choose your words carefully for that reaction, or you'll be chased by a mob of angry villagers with pitchforks and flaming torches in the comments.
Yeah, we'll see. 😂 The angry mobs already come out to defend their favorite movies with nostalgia goggles. I'll probably do Revenge of the Nerds at some point but it's not high on my lift.
This is one that I didn't see until much later in life and while it had its charms, the Date R non-consent thing soured the whole watch. I agree with Kira, this aged like milk. Fun seeing a first-time-watcher's reactions to that now, though. Very much mirrored mine, "WTF? Is this actually happening?"
Some of these movies are a real mixbag. Like I can look past some of the offensive language because that's ever changing and adapting but the SA stuff just makes things awkward. The fact that he ends up with the girl is also an attempt to validate his actions which is the most messed up thing.
Okay, a couple of things. Did I miss Pretty in Pink? HOW are you not reacting to that one too? Perhaps I'm assuming, so lemme stop. 2, what's really awesome about this channel compared to your other ones, is that you kind of get to see a side of you that the others don't show. A softer side, if you will. Except...yanno, yes you still talk about boobies just as much lol.
I haven't done Pretty in Pink yet, but I'm sure I will. And thank you. Yes, definitely a softer more normal not "putting it on" version of myself which is actually funny to say, considering people tell me I'm faking reactions. Trust me, I'd be much more wild if I was faking anything. Y'all don't know me! 😂 I still swear a bit more on this channel than I wanted to when I started, but it's so hard not to!
@@JayBondReacts Good times. I don't know, I suck at a lot of things but usually i can tell when someone is putting it on, or faking, acting, etc about stuff. I think you're sincere, it's one of the reasons I'm a fan! Buuut, now I want to see this wild part lol. I know, I mean, I know RUclips so it sucks, but it's even harder when you watch those foul mouth films! Think of the children! I didn't type that with a straight face at all.

As an old timer here - jake only let the geek take Carolyn home because he knew he could trust him. He's the only one that was honest with him
"Where's Dong fit in?" Yes, you said that
I'm still laughing at that. I'm a great big gray haired child.
At least he didn't say WHERE'S Dong fit in...
Dong steals every scene he is in. Classic.
"Jake Ryan? He doesn't even know you're alive." Then why did he pick up Sam's note?

Successfully combining realism with ego driven fantasy, and not coming off as perverted, especially with young characters, is not an easy task.

A few things in this movie are kinda cringey now, but I still laugh my a** of every time I watch it.
Check out Pretty in Pink
That one's on my list! I want to do all the John Hughes directed movies at some point. I think I'm down to 3 more.
now do not another teen movie, it is a parody of all of them.And it's really good.
I did see it, but I was a teen and high as hell. I probably also didn't get any jokes cause I hadn't seen these movies. 😂
next weird science
Already did it! It's a rougher reaction editing & talking too much wise, because it was one of the first I recorded. 😂 ruclips.net/video/XOK_ien0hxs/видео.html
I really like John Hughes films, but Sixteen Candles aged like milk.
Well, if you thought the Jake scene was "kind of messed up" then strap in and prepare yourself mentally before Revenge of the Nerds (if you ever do it). The retro-hindsight woke goggles are particularly cruel to that one. Choose your words carefully for that reaction, or you'll be chased by a mob of angry villagers with pitchforks and flaming torches in the comments.
Yeah, we'll see. 😂 The angry mobs already come out to defend their favorite movies with nostalgia goggles. I'll probably do Revenge of the Nerds at some point but it's not high on my lift.
This is one that I didn't see until much later in life and while it had its charms, the Date R non-consent thing soured the whole watch. I agree with Kira, this aged like milk. Fun seeing a first-time-watcher's reactions to that now, though. Very much mirrored mine, "WTF? Is this actually happening?"
Some of these movies are a real mixbag. Like I can look past some of the offensive language because that's ever changing and adapting but the SA stuff just makes things awkward. The fact that he ends up with the girl is also an attempt to validate his actions which is the most messed up thing.
They didn't actually do it.🙄
Hello
Hello
5:36 -- my team and I entered a John Hughes trivia contest, and our name was the Sofa City Sweethearts. Came in 3rd.
I think that including Old Style in most of his movies was John Hughes' way of shouting out another Chicago "institution."
Okay, a couple of things. Did I miss Pretty in Pink? HOW are you not reacting to that one too? Perhaps I'm assuming, so lemme stop. 2, what's really awesome about this channel compared to your other ones, is that you kind of get to see a side of you that the others don't show. A softer side, if you will. Except...yanno, yes you still talk about boobies just as much lol.
I haven't done Pretty in Pink yet, but I'm sure I will. And thank you. Yes, definitely a softer more normal not "putting it on" version of myself which is actually funny to say, considering people tell me I'm faking reactions. Trust me, I'd be much more wild if I was faking anything. Y'all don't know me! 😂 I still swear a bit more on this channel than I wanted to when I started, but it's so hard not to!
@@JayBondReacts Good times. I don't know, I suck at a lot of things but usually i can tell when someone is putting it on, or faking, acting, etc about stuff. I think you're sincere, it's one of the reasons I'm a fan! Buuut, now I want to see this wild part lol. I know, I mean, I know RUclips so it sucks, but it's even harder when you watch those foul mouth films! Think of the children! I didn't type that with a straight face at all.
While he hasn't done the John Hughes stuff in order, "Pretty in Pink" was the last collaboration so it will appropriately be seen after the others.
@@Tr0nzoid Facts. I should have kept that out. But I'm high and antsy lol. But you're right. And would make sense.
Thanks!
Thank you! 🙏
