Most of those, the only way not to have noticed them was to not have watched the movie at all. But, yes, hardly anyone noticed blow me written in soft pencil on a sheet of paper shown for a fraction of a second because of being viewed from the distance of one's seat to the movie screen or because the graininess of video tape and low-res of '80s TVs made it literally invisible, i. e, you tend not to notice what's impossible to notice because you can't see it.

At 10: 23, the narration says that the janitor caught the VP snooping through students private records. I don't think so. They are clearly in the basement. Vernon is looking at a record jacket for someone named Mr Tierney. Perhaps he was being sarcastic calling a student mister, but I believe he was looking at staff records. That's why they were stored in the basement. Student records are kept in the administrative offices upstairs.

I really enjoy watching the Breakfast Club movie, especially the part where they all attempt to escape. However, their plan to make a run for it was almost ruined by Mr. Vernon, who seemed to have a magical ability to appear out of nowhere no matter which direction they went. He seems to magically appear until they manage to nearly escape getting caught by Mr. Vernon but instead run into a locked door blocking their only way out!

Not a bad list - I must have watched this movie 100 times in the 80's. Just to mention, you did miss a pretty good fact. You discuss Brian Johnson's father picking him up, the fact that he doesn't speak and the fact that it is a John Hughes cameo; it may also be interesting to some that the woman and young girl that play Brian Johnson's mother and sister in the beginning, are Anthony Michael Hall's actual mother and sister.

I knew most of these things. As for the gun, it was not there to destroy the elephant lamp, it was there because Brian was in a very dark personal place where he felt he could not continue, but nobody today even still wants to talk about our young people choosing to make a permanent action to a temporary situation, and even the magic word can not be used as the algorithm will flag and remove my post.

There is a deleted scene, where Carl the Janitor tells all of the kids how he went from being Man of the Year to becoming the janitor at his old school. He then goes on to tell each one of the kids a horrible prediction about their own futures. It's a very revealing scene, but the overall feel of the movie would have been a little too dark if they had left it in.

I graduated in 182 long before this movie came out and I identify with Bender. I was a lot like him. Only I never went to school and never took Detention. I just didn't show up. I never took a lunch when I did go because I either didn't stay until lunch or I was too hung over and running late to pack one. Parents packing me lunch? What was I 6? Hahaha.
reply

I wish, when they were mentioning John Hughes portraying Brian's Dad, that they would have mentioned that Anthony Michael Hall's real life Mom & little sister play the same roles in the movie. Probably why she was so good at scolding him and of course, his little sister throwing a dig at him just by saying yeah was such the stuff of siblings.
reply

My God. are you seriously saying you JUST NOW realized that Weird Science is set at Shermer High also? Is this even an Easter egg? It's kind of obvious. Why don't you mention that the guidance counselor nameplate that reads Mr. Hashimoto is the name of one of the producers of the movie? THAT's an Easter egg. Y'all are lousy at this.
reply

I also think showing the burnt locker explains Carl having a personal interest in Brian. He would have had to clean that up. I forget his prediction for Brian's future in the awesome exteended outtake where he tells them where they'll be in 10 years, it's been a while since I last saw it, but I feel like he wasn't as harsh on him.
reply

The film's Production Supervisor is Richard Hashimoto. In the beginning of the movie where it shows various parts of the school, there is a desk with a placard on it that reads, Dr. R. Hashimoto - Guidance Counselor.
Plus, in the movie Ferris Beuhler's Day Off, the police officer talking to Ferris' mother is named Hashimoto.

Brian's flare gun did not destroy the elephant. The elephant he made did not work, so he failed class. He knew his parents would not accept that and he had a gun in his locker to possibly end his life. Apparently he could not get hold of a real gun so he had a flare gun which went off in his locker.

I watch this movie as a binge-watch in this order:
The Breakfast Club
St. Elmo's Fire
The Big Chill
The Cemetary Club
They take you from your teens to your twenties, to your late 30s-early 40s, & to your 60s, & show the trials & tribulations of each age group.
I love them all.

I want to know why they change Sporto's Dad's line Guys screw around. to mess around whenever it's aired on basic cable. Over the years previously edited scenes became acceptable and some words are now allowed but oddly they still censor screw around, and I can't understand why.
reply

I REALLY want the original actors to do a sequel. Its THEIR kids that are in trouble and after the kids are dropped off for THEIR detentions, they hang out in the bleachers of football stadium. They might sneak into school for old times sake. What you do you think?
reply

Brief glimpse of Dr. Hashimoto's desk, and under his name it says 'Dr. R. Hashimoto, Guidance Counselor'. It is also implied Allison Reynolds sees him a lot. This is a nod to the film's production supervisor, Richard Hashimoto.
reply

I think he was snooping through his co-workers (faculty and staff) HR private records, not his students, which makes him even worse. As Vice-Principal, it's likely nothing in a student's records would be withheld from him.
reply

I love the movie. Just hate that they used adults. Bender looks 40. Molly looked 35. The only one that passes as a kid was Brian. The rest looked well over 30 so it made it unbelievable or not relatable
reply

Shermer High School architecture is called brutalist design. If you think that's bad, look up what the front of Stephen Leacock C I looks like. Mike Myers went there too, just a year behind me. 5: 45
reply

My o my, you must think the human race is dumb! Everything you mentioned is easily understood if you're able to CRITICALLY THINK and observe the optics in every scene and be able to put them together.
reply

03: 54 The Shattering Glass, Even you missed a detail here. If you pay attention closely the glass is actually supposed to be safety glass it has a wire mesh in it to keep it from shattering.
reply

Sorry, but you are wrong. Carl the Janitor is Brian's father. Not sure who John Hughes was playing, but probably an uncle. Bender makes a big deal about it earlier in the film.
reply

How come when he says the flare gun went off in his locker, no one, like the tapping of the buns when brian said, that was you, no one says that was you about the flare gun.
reply

I absolutely love this movie. I've watched it so many times, I've lost count. I think i can relate to each one of them. I was/am each one of them in one way or another.
reply

Of course the door glass was fake because it was a movie, but it was the kind with wire in it and it, when shattered, would have stayed attached to the door.
reply

A minute and a half in, and that whiney, juvenile, nannynannybooboo speech pattern is far too much of a grating irritation to subhect myself to any further.
reply

I like to think that Bender later ended up owning his own construction company and became a millionaire turning out better off than everyone else.
reply

I watched Breakfast Club probably over 100 times in college. Brian is dropped off in a car in the morning with the license plate EMC2. That's one you missed.
reply

OMG I refuse to believe that Claire did not have surplus brushes and used the same one to do Ally's makeup. Claire would not do her new BFF dirty that way
