History YMMV / RiskyBusiness

** The "love on a real train" sex scene is a solid runner-up, particularly due to Tangerine Dream's score.

* BestKnownForTheFanservice: The movie is remembered for two things: The RiskyBusinessDance, and Rebecca De Mornay's sex scenes with Creator/TomCruise. (Well, men who were teens when the movie came out remember them fondly. They may seem a little tame by today's standards.)

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: "Sometimes you just gotta say 'what the fuck'." Ok, cool, Fortune favors the bold and Joel gets his college admission, but considering all of the (mis)adventures of the movie happen because he also decides it's okay to have sex with a prostitute...

%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample * FamilyUnfriendlyAesop

** Creator/TomCruise dancing, in socks, underwear, and business shirt, to "Old Time Rock and Roll", so much so that it has it's own [[RiskyBusinessDance trope]].

%%* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: When the Princeton interviewer is going over Joel's school records, Lana is standing nearby listening to all of the things Joel's done to get his chance at a good college. The look on her face suggests [[spoiler:she's seriously falling in love with Joel.]]

* ValuesDissonance: Unprotected sex with hookers = harmless fun[=/=][[SexAsRiteOfPassage male rite of passage]]. The movie came out just before the [=HIV=]/[=AIDS=] scare went nationwide.

** The soundtrack by Music/TangerineDream.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Music/BobSeger. "Old Time Rock and Roll." If you got the hardwood floor, you may strip to your underwear, socks and pink business button-shirt, [[RiskyBusinessDance and proceed to dance]].

** Mixed in are songs from that time period by Music/{{Journey}}, Music/{{Prince}}, and oh yeah Music/PhilCollins' "In The Air Tonight" which was required by law to be on every soundtrack between 1982 to 1987.
-->'''Joel's Dad''': A preponderance of bass, perhaps?

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic - Joel has been a ''good son'' his whole life, but [[YouNeedToGetLaid needs to cut loose]]. During the first night with Lana, the camera pans across childhood photos of Joel undercutting his achieving manhood through sex. Joel's dealings with Guido the Killer Pimp teach him more about business than twelve years of school ever did.
