Fun facts of TBC
Brian's (Anthony Michael Hall) real life mother, Mercedes
Hall, played his on-screen mother.
Cameo - At the end of the
film, John Hughes played Brian’s father.
Filming took place in a
real school gym, which the studio turned into a library.
The same school was
featured in Hughes’ Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
Nicolas Cage was
originally considered to play the role of John Bender, but production couldn't
afford his salary at the time.
Then, John Cusack was
cast as John Bender, but Hughes replaced him with Judd Nelson because he looked
rebellious compared to Cusack’s boy-next-door looks.
"The Lunch
Bunch" was a proposed title.
Eesh. Thank goodness he went with The Breakfast Club.
My favorite quote from TBC . . .
John Bender to Vernon: Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?
