Trivia edit
It's not good when nearly half the article is trivia about references to other works. The article should be about the movie, not about how it was obscurely referenced somewhere.-joe 15:43, 4 April 2006 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.234.203.32 (talk) 15:43, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Plot Summary edit
This article states: "While retrieving her purse from Joel's car, she moves the shifter out of gear." This could be misconstrued to mean that she did this intentionally. As I recall (and it's been many years since I saw this movie), the strap of her purse snags the gear lever accidentally shifting the car out of park. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.160 (talk) 17:30, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
Stub edit
Is this article still really a stub? Jeffhoy 18:13, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
No Ferris Bueller's Day Off in References and parodies? edit
I believe that Ferris Bueller's Day off also parodied this movie and should be at the top of the list considering it was among the first to parody it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Willy Sillybones (talk • contribs) 14:00, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- The two films are quite similar, but unless you provide a source, we are not allowed to add it.--24.62.109.225 (talk) 23:44, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
Reason for edits edit
I took out the part that states Mr. Goodson is a Princeton alum, as this is never stated in the film. Also, Joel was part of FE before his dad told him to apply to Princeton, so I changed that, too.--24.62.109.225 (talk) 23:42, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
The 30th Anniversary edition edit
So after watching this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xkfkUyps3Y
University of California Television, lecture series, "script to screen", that episode featuring the movie Risky Business ″ In honor of the film's 30th anniversary, "Risky Business" writer and director Paul Brickman, award-winning producer Jon Avnet and co-star Curtis Armstrong paid a visit to UCSB, discussing the film's creative development and the movie-making process. ″ It seems like there was a different ending than originally intended, but what I would like to know is if this 'director's cut' version was ever made commercially available? - — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.75.197.234 (talk) 19:21, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
Shirt edit
Wasn't the shirt red & white striped? That's what I remember, and what is first stated in the article, but near the end it says his pink shirt. Haven't seen it in long enough to say, but I'm sure someone else knows enough to edit that. Mccat8 (talk) 05:01, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
- Whatever color it is, it's not a worthwhile detail (and cotton, that's WP:OR), so that's all out. P.S. The scene's on youtube; the shirt is pink, but the cuffs have pink and white stripes. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:00, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
“Cover[ing] themes” edit
My, my, my. We’ve stated
- The film covers themes including materialism, loss of innocence, Italic textcoming of age, and capitalism.
Encyclopedias strive mightily to cover topics at all well; theatrical movies, not quite so much, since it so seldom pays at the box office. And when the topics reek of landmark human aspirations, well, nahhh.... more like evocation of aspirational prospects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JerzyA (talk • contribs) 16:05, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
