This movie and Porky's were undeniable classic movies that will always stand the test of good 'ol 80s times!

I always love Ogre being Jackson in Bloodsport.

As for Poindexter's glasses, the scene where he's trying to paint, and they have to push him closer to the pole, that wasn't scripted. He genuinely couldn't judge the distance to the pole due to the thickness of the lenses.

Bonus fact: John Goodman has always been 50

Timothy Busfield, who played 'Poindexter, ' really played professional baseball-in the MINOR leagues before becoming an actor.

Here’s one… Lamar Latrell was also an extra in Karate Kid. He was a Cobra Kai student and Daniel beat him in one of the first fights during the All-Valley.

Not even one actor in this movie was ever insincere in their portrayal of a character they all gave the writing its fullest portrayal !

I believe the Stan Gable character came out as a nerd in one of the sequels, and Ogre came out as a nerd in Nerds in Paradise.

One of my favorite childhood movies. Didn’t realize it was rated R till years later

Two years before Anthony Edwards played a nerd in this movie, he played one of Jeff Spicoli's stoner buds n Fast Times At Ridgemont High, with considerably longer hair. And Timothy Busfield is married to Melissa Gilbert, who played Laura on Little House On The Prairie.

I may have watched this a million times in the 80’s. Absolute classic.

This was one of the movies we got for ship's TV when I was deployed to the Med on an aircraft carrier '83 - '84. Makes me feel 20 again to watch it 😆. Much preferred it to Midnight Express which was played a couple times a day for a week before we pulled into Istanbul... turned out no worries though, that port visit lasted maybe 12 hours before we had to pull out & head back to the eastern Med.

"Oh, see....I got 2 sevens....and 2 sevens beats a frush" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 This was one of the funniest 80s movies ever.

Brian Tochi aka Takashi stated during questions & answers during cast members celebration of 40th anniversary of the movie at comic convention that prop guy for the movie ask him if he wanted real beer or non-beer drink simulates like beer for trike race scene. Brian replied, real beer. In other words, Brian was very drunk.
