    The house they used in the film was my friend's childhood home in Glendale, CA. His mom still lives there today. My friend was about 3 years old at the time. All the filming was done inside. His younger brother's room was John Cusack's room. The house has been remodeled inside, but my friend said there is some original wallpaper still there.

    Lane's Camaro was a 67 RS/SS with hideaway headlights. 68 was the same body, but the easy way to discern the two is, 68 has mandated side marker lights, and no vent aka smoker windows due to the introduction of GM's astrovent system that replaced the vent windows with fresh air vents in the dash. Again, another great video man, keep it up

    Another great one. I grew up a few blocks from Clark Jr High. Many movies and TV shows filmed there. Was skating there in the mid 80s and there was a film crew. Turns out they were filming the short lived Fast Times(no, at Ridgemont High) TV show. Got to meet Mr Hand. Could not have been a nicer dude. We saw him walking to his trailer and being the stupid punk kids we were screamed out "hey Mr Hand". He came over introduced himself as Ray and made a joke about us all being Spicolis.Ray was in his 70s at the time I think he got a kick out of a bunch of 13 year old skater kids recognizing him.

    Fantastic! I loved this! One of my all time favorite movies. The K-12 is the top of the Snowbird tram. Love that it was filmed here in Utah also.

    Such a great movie, is it academy award winning? No, is it a heck of a lot of fun? Oh, ABSOLUTELY!!! Class, Sixteen Candles, Grandview, U.S.A., The Sure Thing, Better Off Dead, The Journey of Natty Gann, Stand By Me, One Crazy Summer, Hot Pursuit. All great films, it's a shame John won't talk about them.

    I've seen other location videos for this movie but by far, yours is the best and your son was funny as Johnny the paper boy..
    That school-courtyard @5:44 was used for the final scene in Corvette Summer; one of my favourite 70's movies.

    that school at Plainview Ave is also the same courtyard at the ending of the movie Corvette Summer where they washing off the dirty Corvette and Mark Hamills character makes up with Annie Potts character and carries her away while the sappy love song plays in the background before the credits rolls
