Real Genius (3/8) Movie CLIP - Jordan Never Sleeps (1985) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Mitch (Gabriel Jarret) has an awkward encounter with Jordan (Michelle Meyrink) in the men's room.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Martha Coolidge directed this comedy taking place at fictional Pacific Tech, concerning incoming freshman Mitch (Gabe Jarret), a high school student whose Science Fair project made important inroads into laser beam technology. Mitch has been recruited by famed physics professor Hathaway (William Atherton), who asks Mitch to work in his laboratory. On campus, Mitch becomes roommates with the brilliant Chris Knight (Val Kilmer), legendary as the smartest freshman in the history of the college; but now, as a senior, he is less interested in his studies and more interested in having fun. It turns out that Hathaway is enlisting his students, unbeknownst to them, as a slave labor force to do research in developing a state-of-the-art laser device for the Defense Department (he uses his government grant funds to build a house). But Chris and Mitch begin to suspect that something is amiss with Hathaway's project.

“Well I have go.”
“Me too”
Brilliant subtlety

[protamine]

Michelle Meyrink is adorable. Her hyperactive Jordan is a beloved nerd girl character. Decades later MM left acting and moved back to Canada and practiced Buddhism.

[wyyrdojim]

She’s the reason I’ve watched this movie so many times!🥰

[acerodney]

And the small part of the closet guy, “Laszlo” was played by Jon Gries who would later play “Uncle Rico” in Napoleon Dynamite. Great casting all around in this one!

[happy_camper]

Had a crush on her for years. Such a cute character, and played to perfection by Miss Meyrink! That hairstyle did suit her so.

[EphemeralProductions]

That girl is so funny! I loved her, she is one of the things i remember most about this movie!

[JadyLester]

I'd never seen this movie, but I can fully believe she inspired Gadget in Rescue Rangers.

[Ktonrider]

She’s the same girl as the accordion playing omega moo from Revenge of the Nerds! Mind blown!! 🤯

[Wagon_Queen_Family_Truckster]

She never sleeps, she says. She says she’ll never die. She bows to the fiddlers and sashays backwards and throws back her head and laughs deep in her throat and she is a great favorite, Jordan. She wafts her hat and the lunar dome of her skull passes palely under the lamps and she swings about and takes possession of one of the fiddles and she pirouettes and makes a pass, two passes, dancing and fiddling at once. Her feet are light and nimble. She never sleeps. She says that she will never die. She dances in light and in shadow and she is a great favorite. She never sleeps, Jordan. She is dancing, dancing. She says that she will never die.

I always loved the Mitch/Jordan storyline -- I like to imagine a deleted scene where we see them the morning after they get together (after Mitch turns down Sherry and says to Jordan, "I wanted to... but not with her."), and Jordan is actually _asleep_ and marvels at being able to sleep when she wakes up and realizes it.

MITCH: Really? It was that good?
JORDAN: Oh, no, no -- well yes, it was good, but I, uh, I've done this before, and I take care of myself a lot as well, and that's never happened before. I guess maybe I must just ... trust you. Weird, huh?
MITCH: Is it?
JORDAN: ...No. It isn't.

[greg]

I can't believe I didn't realize that was Suzi from Valley Girl. She's completely different! I'm so impressed!

[Ortiz]

Michelle is adorable in this classic comedy from the 80s.

[beegchunguz]

When I first watched this I was so high and I don't recommend watchin it any other way.

[claida]

"-Are you peeing?
-Yeah."
That's stupid, but that's funny.

[cristiandiego]

She's insanely cute and sweet !!!

[philipmarable]

Yep! That’s Gadget from Rescue Rangers alright.

[clashj]

Back in '85 I had a crush on Jordan (Michelle Meyrink)

[EloPSuperFly]

Hard to believe she's Judy from Revenge of the Nerds.

[gmccord]

Jordan reminds me exactly of a client I worked with when I was working in mental health for the state.  She was really intelligent for her age but had Asperger's.  She had a hard time with social ques and conversations with her tended to be very one-sided, fast-paced, flat and jumping from one topic to the next.

[sifugurusensei]

I thought that the way Jordan speaks and that voice reminded me of some other actress, and now I know. It's not exactly but her character reminds me of the band camp girl from American pie. They both talk fast about random topics. I thought their voices similar too
