Initially, "Breakfast Club" had planned to shoot a sequel every ten years to show the life of every club member, but this idea was not achieved in the end. The primary reason is that the relationship between John Hughes and the actor Judd Nelson, who plays Bender, is too bad. Hughes even said that he would never work with Nelson again. In addition, Hughes's former queen actor, Molly Linward, also drifted away from him in the late 1980s. As an adult, Linward hoped that his acting path would not be limited to teen movies. As a result, the two diverged and eventually parted ways.

In the last scene of the movie, Bender raised his fist and pointed to the sky. This scene is now almost regarded as the icon of the 80s movie.

When they were about to finish filming, Nelson suddenly made this action.

I seem to have a special love for John Hughes' films, more heartfelt than spring is not a reading day. I like this kind of funny little taste of the film. But after watching this film, in addition to having the same understanding and resonance, I would like to ask, will every child who cannot be easily classified become a mediocre adult in the end? Such an inevitable transformation was unexpected.

Allison Reynolds: Is that good or bad?
Andrew: It's good.
