Did anyone have a hard time telling Babs and Mandy apart?


I could never tell who was Babs and Mandy cause they both looked very similar to each other

reply

I did the first time I saw it. But they have different color hair.

Kind of off-topic, but wasn't it interesting that every girl in this movie either showed her boobs or her ass except Babs? The actress must have been dead against it, since this movie was pretty much made for frat boys...

I pronounce you man and wife. Proceed with the execution.

It's been at least a couple years since I've seen the movie and I only remember seeing 2 females exposing their boobs.

reply

Just caught the last half of it and there's at least 2 in the pillow fight plus at least 2 more later. More than I remembered too.

reply

And even Katy shows her ass. But the actress only did it because Donald Sutherland did it with her

Props for the tag. Lets hope the gunboat runs into something explosive in between the wedding and the hanging.

Babs had a Southern accent. Mandy was prettier.

Babs may have kept her clothes on(well, her underwear on -- remember her last scene?) in the movie...but the actress who played her later did a Playboy layout.

reply

Martha Smith actually appeared in Playboy before she was cast in Animal House.

reply

The characters are quite a bit different. Mandy was smarter and had a sharp tongue. She was able to put Stratton in his place.

reply

Great Babs ad-lib: 'That boy is a P-I-G, pig!'

Keith Moon was the greatest 'Keith Moon Style' drummer ever!!

reply

With her southern accent, it always sounds to me like she spells it "P-R-G"


Y'all.......

And Babs later shows up in the most recent Sharknado movie.

Greg, hunnay, is it supposed to be this soft?"

reply

Never had this problem cause Mandy was 1000x hotter than Babs (who looked too much like a Stepford wife). And that bedroom undressing scene...holy crap! :O

They did look similar.

In movies most sorority girls are pretty. In real life they run the gamut.

reply

They had similar pouffed-up 60s style flips and were the same size and body type as each other, but they had very different eyes.

The biggest difference though, is can you imagine Babbs in that undressing scene where Bluto is looking at her though the window? Nope. They chose the right one for that scene.
