On the last day of summer vacation in 1962, friends Curt (Richard Dreyfuss), Steve (Ronny Howard), Terry (Charles Martin Smith) and John (Paul Le Mat) cruise the streets of small-town California while a mysterious disc jockey (Wolfman Jack) spins classic rock'n'roll tunes. It's the last night before their grown-up lives begin, and Steve's high-school sweetheart, a hot-to-trot blonde, a bratty adolescent and a disappearing angel in a Thunderbird provide all the excitement they can handle.

This scene really captures something beautiful. Despite the fact that both groups prank each other, nothing about it feels malicious. Rather, it all feels like it's in good fun. Teenagers simply enjoying life. Johnny B. Goode playing in the background, the playful smiles John and Carol give each other, the little dance they do at the end. This whole scene perfectly encapsulates pure, simple, teenage fun. What a wonderful film.❤

When making Hollywood movies was fun, not so much today

The water balloon wasn't supposed to hit Mackenzie Phillips directly in the face; this was an accident, but of course this turned out to be perfect.

I grew up in the 90s...but still...I hope teens today are having as much fun as we did. I worry about the world we have created for them...

BEWARE: Any time a "young lady" who looks as good as that girl did asks, "Do you want me to give it to you" there is something wrong!!!

[jvolstad]

Which one of the girls owned the caddy?

[debbiekeds]

This is so great! I've always loved pranks, such as them shaving creming the windows and flattening their tires. These girls are stuck in the middle of the road. Giggle. ;) I remember as a teenager, we found some gals skinny dipping. So we flattened their tires and took their clothes and sneakers. Giggle. ;)

From which state could be the girl who throws the water balloon?

The story goes that, the director told him to take it easy on the Cad, especially with his boots all over the body of the car . The director told him that the Cadi did not belong to the studio and the Cadi was rented and the owner of the Cadi was standing on the sidewalk watching her car, being stepped on .
