I can't even calculate how cool I think this movie is. It's a genuine '90s with no doubt. I watched it again last night and guess what: it haven't aged a day since when it was released on theaters first!

[mchjsosde]

Thank God those alternate castings never happened. The casting is near perfect as it is

[hussinyusof]

I watched this movie 24 times... then I stopped counting.. I could even say out their dialogue when muted lol

Y’all Toby didn’t drop out to pursue script writing he dropped out bc Ethan Embry (Mark) gave Toby a bad tab of acid and he had to go home bc of it he said it himself in an interview

[frogprincess]

Toby McGuire was actually in the movie (small part) but asked to have his scenes cut because he was dealing with alcoholism and was entering rehab around the time the movie was to be released.

I could easily see Toby McGuire as a Lucas

[iamskippy]

*In IMDb Tobey is credited as Andre* *_can anyone tell me WHERE IN THE MOVIE DOES TOBEY AS ANDRE APPEAR???_*

[stuartomahony]

Tobey Maguire had a small part in empire records actually

[sydandtaytum]

i knew all of these except the tobey mcguire/angelina jolie/bilie joel armstrong casting

[ribbitbc]

A couple more things...Ethan Embry's sister plays the girl who got an autograph from Rex Manning for her mom. And Maxwell Caulfield's daughter is the ballet dancer Ethan Embry tries to kiss 💋

[officialgilmore]

This is my favorite cult classic and my mind would have literally exploded if Billie Joe was in it!

[serenapham]

brb imma go watch Rex Manning video now ✌️😚

[KingOfMakingItWorse]

What if none of these things had blown my mind ?

[rogermoreno]

Although I think Jolie would have been good as Deb, I’m glad Tunney landed the role. This is one of those films where the cast is just perfect and I couldn’t imagine anyone else playing any of these roles

[hazyincidents]

omg I hadn't known that both Gina and Roxie were played by Renee!! I've been thinking that Gina and Roxie's voice are alike but I didn't know that was real since I watch this vid

[jillybeangaming]

just popping in the morning after rex manning day to say hiiii

[kealamccarthy]

tobey maguire is still in the movie, i can’t find him but the credits say he played a character named andre

[Vikanuck]

Angelina Jolie and Billie Joe Armstrong wouldn’t have been a couple, those two just danced in one scene.
He was really in love with Liv Tyler’s character…??

[yogseventy-nine]

where is the deepfake version of the movie with the alternate actors?!
