If you enjoy spoof movies like Scary Movie, you’ll enjoy this short from Douglas Jordan who went on to direct and write Not Another Teen Movie.
The ending to every possible 80’s teen movie can be found in this 5-minute long segment. Be prepared for some major cheese…
I never realized how similar movies like Weird Science, Pretty In Pink, and Ferris Bueller were until I saw this clip. Sure, a lot of movies in the 1980’s had stereotypes, but looking back, the ones aimed at a younger audience were even more stereotypical.
Of course, this trend only continued in the 90’s with movies like Clueless, Bring It On, 10 Things I Hate About You, and American Pie. It seems as if the cycle of senseless clichés is just now starting to dwindle.
Finally, some directors are starting to realize that the world isn’t just made up of token black guys, weird Chinese boys, preppy cheerleaders, jock jerks, and burnout stoners.
