Guys I have depression, I don't love myself and I'm going through a lot of frustration in life, but when I received this recommendation I laughed so much, thank you for making me happy "again", I needed this.
Fun Fact: Chet's haircut was actually Bill Paxton's idea. He thought it was perfect for the kind of asshole he was supposed to play. Better yet, he didn't tell anyone he was going to do it. So he just showed up on set like that out of nowhere and everyone just died.
Haha! For Once "A fun Fact" was very fun! RIP Bill Paxton. BTW: "Call me by your name" is dedicated to him, he was in Italy on vaccation and hang around the set, helped out and just gave everyone good advice (without taking credit for it) and was generally a very nice guy I've heard. So when he died, they dedicated that movie to him.
Kelly LeBrock as Lisa is the epitome of '80s pin up girl. Also, Anthony Michael Hall getting drunk in the bar scene is still one of the most hilarious scenes to this day. He can do both drama and comedy so well.
You know, it's funny. When I saw "Edward Scissorhands" it took me to the dinner scene to realize Anthony Michael Hall was the bully! My jaw dropped for a long time when I realized. He was all buff, a big tough guy! A far cry from his earlier characters. I always liked him, he was good in Dead Zone (the TV show) too.
Good ear guys! The Weird Science theme was performed by a group called Oingo Boingo featuring Danny Elfman. Elfman has been involved with an insane amount of movie music including many critically recognized work. His music is so freakin' good!
Bill Paxton (Chet) decided Chet needed an Assshole Haircut, so he went out and got the douchiest haircut he could think of and showed up for filming. Very much wasn't what Director John Hughes was expecting, but he ended up loving it. One of the best improvised additions to character design by an actor in the history of film.
Fun Fact! Christie Brinkley was original Cast as Lisa but she got a high heel stuck in a storm grate and was late to the studio. Kelly Lebrock was there just to use the bathroom and she got cast!
@@yournamehere6002 I watch younger people watching our movies and the comments they make cracks me up. Wanna give them a pacifier and tell them to go night night - it's the big peoples time
For the majority of my adult life, every time I see Bill Paxton I see him as Chet, the pile of … Lisa is like Mary Poppins for teenage boys. Chet’s haircut is flat on top because it’s, literally, called a flat top.
Weird Science and Sixteen Candles were both filmed in the fictional town of Shermer , Illinois. And the exterior shots of the high school were the same as Risky Business and sixteen candles. ❤
Weird Science, Sixteen Candles and Risky Business all filmed at Niles East High School in Skokie, IL. School closed in 1980. Now it is the East campus for Oakton College
Today she probably would be some generative AI with extra powers running wild. (Yes that could be an idea for a remake. No I don't think it would be any good …)
Show is the same name I'm guessing? I'll check it out, sounds cool. I think even if they remade it today, Electric Genie is still a good entity premise.
Main song and probably soundtrack was Oingo Boingo with lead singer, Danny Elfman. Danny Elfman is responsible for some of the best movie soundtracks of the last 40 years.
One of the craziest, off the wall, whacko light hearted movies, and these guys turn it around into a serious discussion about life balance. Impressive.
*_SIGH! Be still my childhood heart!! 😁👍 Weird Science is one of those favorite movies from my childhood! I don’t think there was a movie like it before it and there’s never been one like it ever since! Pure fun teenage fun!_*

@@joeblow8206 He has several great movies that were well respected before Iron Man. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was probably his comeback movie, and he got an Oscar nomination for Tropic Thunder. All before Iron Man.

This movie is the reason why James Cameron wanted to invite Bill Paxton as one of main side characters in his new Alien movie soon known as "Hudson", the "Game over man!" dude
The concept is pretty interesting as it starts out with two guys who have no social skills wanting to create a program (initially) that can be used to practice how to approach a woman for successful dating. I mean, think about it, you could have it based on the idea of percentage and odds in that you would type what the latest fashion trends are, popular music, social interests and background, historical geographical interests in terms of what type of men women of a certain region go for and use this and more to test what would be your best chance to approach a woman of a certain style and look in terms of what to wear, types of music you should show interest, conversational starting point and so on. Its not that far fetched in today's AI and Apps world.
Drunk Gary walking away from Chet: “He’s a asshole, look at his haircut, anybody with a haircut like that, you KNOW he’s a asshole..” Drunk Gary is a fountain of wisdom.
Welcome to 1985! I was the same age as these characters in the film in 85’ ( Jr in HS) . Saw this the night it came out like every John Hughes movie. The greatest films of the 80’s . Check out Fast times at Ridgemont High by Cameron Crowe next Cameron Crowe
The old guy with the deep voice at the bar was in "Jumpin' Jack Flash," "Terminator," and "Road House" (the Patrick Swazye version). And Chet wasn't a toad; he was a pile of poo!
That banger of a theme song for Weird Science is by a band called "Oingo Boingo", you may have heard of their lead singer Danny Elfman. If not, for some background he is the creator of the music for "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (as well as the singing voice of Jack Skellington) "Beetlejuice" "Edward Scissorhands" and most of Tim Burton's other movies as well as the theme song for "The Simpsons".
29:02 Fun Fact for you guys: The group that did the soundtrack for this movie was Oingo Boingo, which was the band that Danny Elfman, the guy who scored the soundtrack of the 1989 Batman movie starring Michael Keaton, was the lead vocalist of
Me and my sister when to the movies to see this. We were cracking up the whole time. We liked it so much we stayed in our seats and waited for the next showing. Back then this was common to see a movies multiple times in a day or theater hop.
Back when I was about 14, I went to a Bar mitzvah in South Africa and got very drunk on Tequila slammers... the older brother of the kid having the Bar mitzvah saw me in a real mess and tried to make me sick by doing this Chet impression at me, and I projectile vomited on his legs... good times good times
Chet's haircut was called a flat-top, & was popular at the time amongst those who were enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. I think it may be why people used to refer to them as, "Jar-heads." 😅
Haha this movie is so damn 80's! From the fashion to the music and vibes! I love it, its one of my favorite movies! FYI I think Chet's hair was supposed to be like a military-style buzz-cut. A flat-top as they used to call it. Definitely an 80's style that thankfully went away
Oingo Boingo was the band, they also did the song "Dead Man's Party" in the movie Back to School. Ellfman is amazing, and his movie scores are some of the best in the business.
Weird Science band is known as Oingo Boingo which is Movie composer aka DANNY ELFMAN's band which Danny Elfman and band star in another movie in 1986 known as (Back to School) starring Rodney Dangerfield, Keith Gordon, Sally Kellerman, Burt Young, Robert Downey Jr
He’s a very accomplished composer also. People would be surprised at the movies that he’s written the score & or songs for. Everything from the Men in Black & Marvel franchises to movies like Silver Linings Playbook & Good Will Hunting. He seems to like working with Tim Burton. Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands & Beetlejuice are just a few examples. I always think Oingo Boingo when I hear his name though, what a great band!
Thank you so much, guys, for having a real sense of humor. So many of the other channels really snubbed their noses at this movie. They whined and complained that the jokes and subject matter were graphic and inappropriate. which it is not when the subject matter is teenagers. So, thank you for laughing along and not being a buzz kill to an 80's comedy.
SUCH A FUCKN CLASSIC….Chris n Curtis shout out to y’all 4 reacting to this movie…first off dis my favorite movie of all time…it’s comedy, classic n surreal
Flat-top haircuts were popular for decades; especially in the military for service members who wanted something different but still be within regulations.
The optimal description of Chet's hair is from his own words. "A greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray." I've always seen it as a realistic take on Cat in the Hat. Magical person arrives, causes adventure and havoc, and once everyone relaxes and rolls with it... resets everything to normal. Makes me wish this had become a series, and each movie had a new cast but the same summoning a sex genie premise.
This film came out in 1986, long before home computers were the norm and about a decade before the internet became widespread. This film is like imaging today what AI will be capable for in 10 years, but also making a parody/mockery of that potential future.
6:27 Interesting Fact about that scene: Actress Kelly Lebrock, who played Lisa, had said that kissing actor who played Wyatt felt like she was kissing her little brother

Also, Anthony Michael Hall getting drunk in the bar scene is still one of the most hilarious scenes to this day. He can do both drama and comedy so well.
Personal recommendation for a Anthony Michael Hall film Out of Bounds. Underrated thriller of the 80's.

Great blast from the past. Loved this movie as a kid. Nothing will beat the nostalgic feeling of 80’s movies.
Chips, Dips, Chains, Whips...... that was our line!!!
All us Gen-X kids quoted Chet lines pretty much our whole adolescent and adult years after this movie... also "she's into Malakas Dino!" 😅
I to this day, still do Chet’s weird reverse door opening move. 😂
"This is like, my worst nightmare. I HATE people"
"Maybe I'll be there . . ."

Weird Science and Sixteen Candles were both filmed in the fictional town of Shermer , Illinois. And the exterior shots of the high school were the same as Risky Business and sixteen candles. ❤
Yes... and The Breakfast Club.
Filmed in Highland Park, Lake Forest Northbrook and other surrounding suburbs of Chicago.
I wouldn't be surprised if "It happened in Shermer, Illinois" was its own tropes page.
What Are The Odds?
Weird Science, Sixteen Candles and Risky Business all filmed at Niles East High School in Skokie, IL. School closed in 1980. Now it is the East campus for Oakton College
Yes, and Shermer High School.
Anthony Michael Hall was so freaking funny in this movie 😂😂😂
Yes 🤣 That whole bar & car scene afterwards are the best 😂😂
His drunk voice was a callback to The Breakfast Club when he got high. Same voice.
Too bad these idiots thought normal teenage behavior from the pre-internet porn days was creepy merely by Gary being interested in sex with girls.
In the movie they never really explain what Lisa is but in the show they make her an electric genie and the computer is her lamp.
Today she probably would be some generative AI with extra powers running wild.
(Yes that could be an idea for a remake. No I don't think it would be any good …)
@@Cau_No Current technology could make it amazing, but current culture would neuter it into a sad shell of its former self.
The show was surprisingly good.💙

“Well my NUTS ARE HALF WAY UP MY ASS BUT OTHER THAN THAT I’M PERFECT!”

Impressive.
Kelly LeBrock was the BOMB in the 80s....she was so hot, she was "the BOMB" about 15 years before people started saying such and such was "The Bomb"!
Parliament/funkadelic were using "the BOMB" back in 1975. You probably mean before white people started using "the Bomb"

Ha Ha Ha.. Gaarrryyy...
Gary? Gary? Ah, Gary!
Gary!
'DO YOU REALIZE ITS SNOWING IN MY ROOM GODDAMMIT!' That line kills me every time. LOL!
Hell yeah, classic! My family still occasionally throws out the line “he don’t even have his license, Lisa!!” When it’s relevant to the situation.
This is definitely one of John Hughes’s Underrated movies! Glad you guys reacted to this one! You gotta do Sixteen Candles next!
People keep saying that they’re not strong female characters in the past. Lisa in my opinion was the baddest female movie character of all time.
One of my favorite movies of all time since childhood. Such a masterpiece

Yeah, that biker boss guy looking like out of a Mad Max movie was actually from a Mad Max Movie …
Detroit's Own Michael Berryman Jupiter from The original Hills Have Eyes.(1977)
The biker who didn’t want to “lose his teaching job” was in a Motley Crue music video.

This is one of the 80’s movies that raised a lot of 70’s and 80’s young boys…😂
I mean, hey, it’s John Hughes. You just have to trust him.
Kelly LeBrock in Weird Science reminds so much of Elizabeth Hurley in Bedazzled . Its eerie how similar they are.
I was a young teen when this movie came out n this has always been one of my favorite 80s movies.
The old guy with the deep voice at the bar was in "Jumpin' Jack Flash," "Terminator," and "Road House" (the Patrick Swazye version).
And Chet wasn't a toad; he was a pile of poo!
He was also the voice of the rental car lot bus driver in Planes, Tains and Automobiles. Such a classic.

A couple recommendations: Wargames with Matthew Broderick and Porky's.
I'm dying to see reactions to Porkys, Revenge of the Nerds and Bachelor Party.
Chet's flat top haircut was pretty common with military types.
“She’s into Malacas, Dino” is the greatest line in this movie
