When the teacher is reading the excerpt from Dicken's book, the last girl it stops on looks so much like Jennifer Beals. She's in there again in the alley scene standing near Joan Cusack...at least I think it's her. She's not wearing an off the shoulder sweat shirt so I can't be sure.
Woah! I'm watching this movie for the first time in years (OK, decades), and I'm at the scene where Clifford announces he has a bodyguard. Shelly (Joan Cusack, who I also don't remember being in this movie) says "Who's the fruit this time, Moody?", and who's standing right next to her? Jennifer Beals! I had no idea she was in this movie!
And the chauffeur? I recognized him right away as the dude who was "Asssssssssistant Principal Scampi" on the TV show "Weird Science"
What's that internet law...I think it's 43 or something; If it exists then there is porn of it. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some fan fic of the adult and also gay nature out there involving ol' Peachy and Linderman.
I was talking to a friend about Firefly today and the conversation turned to this movie and we wondered if maybe John Cusack and Jeremy Piven might play bit parts as well. They would have been the right age and obviously grew up in Chicago. Anyone spot either?
