I hate Grease. My wife tries to watch it everytime its on, so if I see it I flip passed it real quick hoping she doesn't notice.


"Just one of the Guys." "Taps." "Red Dawn." "Police Academy 1" All these movies were good when I was 11 and now suck.

Yeah I think the school parts were filmed at Tempe High School. They had the prom at Big Surf they even mention it in the movie.

There is a movie that was shot at Paradise Valley High also, with Lou Gossett Jr. in it.

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure was filmed entirely in Phoenix.

Revenge of the Nerds was filmed entirely on the campus of UofA.

I was friends with Frazier Bain who played Deacon (Keanu's little brother) in Bill and Ted's. If you ask me he still had the best line in the movie.

Bill: You ditched Napolean?
Deacon: He was a d*ck!

Oh man, I almost forgot about Red Dawn. The one where Cuba's "army" invades Florida while the Russkies somehow invade the West Coast? And somehow some kids with hunting rifles manage to engage and defend themselves!!! Man, the 80's had some horrible action movies. This is one of them, for sure.

Another one that was so cool back in the day and now you realize it's just schlock - Invasion U.S.A.

What is that other movie where the kids from the Military Academy overthrow the school? I know TAPS is one, but what is the other one. "Rudy/Sam Gamgee" is in it.

Karate Kid Knockoff.

The main characters are Billy and Kenn.

Billy is being played by a guy named Billy.

Kenn is being played by a guy named Kenn.

Creativity at its best.
