I was so shocked to see almost 30 years old dude playing 16-17 years old teens. This is so ridiculous. Especially one fat dude the guy looks like he's 35-40 years old.. (well he is just below 30 in reality ) They are all from the late 50's so they are at the very least 23 years old.
That's always so dumb.. It's a bit like " vampire diaries " where "teens" are 30 something and still in high school :)

Teens can't act, so I'm glad they did it this way

They obviously needed actors with a little experience, and who looked a bit tougher than the average teenager.

It happens a lot in films about tough kids. They rarely play someone their own age.

Fat dude was the most ridiculous for sure. :D

That's just how it was for teen movies in the '80s and '90s.
