The 1986 film

  • Awesome Music:
    • SEND ME AN ANGELLLL... SEND ME AN ANGELLLL... RIIGHT NOWWWWW!
    • John Farnham's songs Break The Ice and Thunder In Your Heart are awesome in their own right.
    • Don't get boring! Just get strange!
    • Sparks’ “Music That You Can Dance To” is awesome in its own right too, but makes for, well, lip-smacking, good, good music during that party scene.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: In one scene, Lori Loughlin's character, Christian, runs a T-Shirts for test scores scam. In 2019, she would be accused of conspiring with College Admissions Scam mastermind, William "Rick" Singer, to pass off her two daughters as rowing athletes, when they really weren't.
    • In another scene, she straight-up advises the hero on applying to college.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: The T-Shirts that said "Rad Racing" were very similar to another Rad Racer.
