      Those who watched this film at Nicolas Cage were disappointed. At that time, he was still a member of the Coppola family. A total of two shots appeared before and after, for a total of two seconds. Fortunately, he was

      looking at Sean Sean in his first place. In the two films he dedicated his first classic role: Jeff Spicoli

      80s movies not to be missed

      If you like the 80s, if you like the 80s movies, if you like the 80s campus movies, then it will definitely be a huge loss to miss this movie.

      Open American colleges are crazy. Spring is not a day for reading. Breakfast clubs are very representative movies. They are interesting and memorable, vivid and very individual. Each is a movie worth watching many times.

      Compared with the other three movies, the open American college portrays a more interesting campus life. The style of...

      "Open American Academy"

      The originator-level films of American campus comedies still seem to have a certain degree of visibility and modernity. Compared with the current generation of "American Pie" series and other films, the latter is just more absurd and vulgar, and its essence is not much progressive.

      However, Pan’s performance is not as memorable as he has seen many acting selections praise before. Of course, he does not have many roles. In addition, many of his roles later have this kind of...

      "When it comes down to making out, whenever possible, put on side one of Led Zeppelin IV." However the sound track plays "Kashmir" which is not on Led Zeppelin IV, but Physical Graffiti. This is because the producers couldn't get the rights to Led Zeppelin...

      The 1980s had a strong style, well-written group dramas, and BGM was light and pleasant, but I just didn't like this mythical youth life. The reflection in the 1970s has been replaced by vanity, which in my opinion is a kind of...

      3+ 2012-03-16 I want to see Fast Times at Ridgemont High, based on private xp at Clairemont High School's Class of 1979, San Diego. The youth of the early 1980s on the West Coast is noisy but smooth. Get an attitude, get a life. Sean Penn stoned tongue. side one of Led Zeppelin IV to peche. Besides sex, drugs and rock n'roll, time was equally fast for the...

    Movie quotes

    • Jeff Spicoli: [notices Spicoli's empty desk] Where is Jeff Spicoli? I saw him near the first floor restrooms. Is he still on campus? Anyone? Yes, Desmond?

      Desmond: Uh, I saw him by the food machines.

      Mr. Hand: How long ago?

      Desmond: Right before class.

      Mr. Hand: Good. Bring him in.

      [Desmond exits the room]

      Mr. Hand: [to the class] What is this fascination about truancy? What is it that gets inside your heads? There are some teachers, in this school, who look the other way at truants. It's a little game you both play: they pretend they don't see you, you pretend you don't ditch. Now, who pays the price, later? You!

      Jeff Spicoli: [Spicoli, with a bagel tucked in his pants, enters the room as Desmond returns to his seat]

      [laughs]

      Jeff Spicoli: Hey, wait, there's no birthday party for me, here!

      [the class laughs]

      Jeff Spicoli: Hola, Mr. Hand.

      Mr. Hand: What's the reason for your truancy?

      Jeff Spicoli: Just couldn't make it on time?

      Mr. Hand: You mean, you couldn't or you wouldn't?

      Jeff Spicoli: Well, there was big crowd scene over at the food lines.

      Mr. Hand: Food will be eaten on YOUR time! Why are you continuously late for this class, Mr. Spicoli? Why do you shamelessly waste my time like this?

      Mr. Hand: [dubious] I don't know.

      [the class laughs as Hand sighs heavily and writes I DON'T KNOW across the blackboard]

      Mr. Hand: I like that.

      [chuckles]

      Mr. Hand: "I don't know". That's very nice.

      [to Spicoli]

      Mr. Hand: You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna leave these words on the board for all my classes to enjoy, giving you full credit, of course, Mr. Spicoli.

      Jeff Spicoli: [happily] All right.

    • Mr. Vargas: [before he and his class enter a operating room] I just want to ask you one last time. Please conduct yourselves with the utmost maturity.

      [the class files in, but pulls Spicoli aside]

      Mr. Vargas: Hey, you in my class?

      Jeff Spicoli: I am, today.

    • Cindy: [disgusted by the students' lack of spirit for an upcoming football game] You know, it takes a lot of guts to stand there and do something that you know people will make fun of.
