| 1 | * BestKnownForTheFanservice: This film is considered one of John Hughes's lesser works and is generally only remembered for the copious fanservice it makes of a young, Creator/JenniferConnelly, particularly the scene where she rides a mechanical horse [[VaporWear in a tight white tank top]]. |
| 2 | * DirectorDisplacement: While Creator/JohnHughes wrote and co-produced the movie, he was not the director. The fact they used his name so much to bring attention to the movie while also [[ExecutiveMeddling ignoring most of his actual input]] is one of many reasons [[CreatorBacklash he didn't think of this movie very fondly]]. |
| 3 | * JustHereForGodzilla: Especially amongst modern viewers, chances are you saw this movie because you saw [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlW1w6gCWr8 one of the many fan-made music videos using scenes from this movie]]. You probably ''also'' saw it because you agree that 20-year-old Jennifer Connelly is ''gorgeous'' to say the least. |
| 4 | * OneSceneWonder: |
| 5 | ** Can't have a John Hughes movie without a cameo from Creator/JohnCandy, this time playing the manager of Target interviewing Jim. |
| 6 | ** William Forsyth spends one scene chewing scenery before walking out of the film. |
| 7 | * RetroactiveRecognition: Frank Whaley would become slightly more recognizable as Brett in ''Film/PulpFiction'', AKA the poor fella dared to [[SignatureLine “say ‘what’ again”]] by Creator/SamuelLJackson. |
