Yes, that is Bill Paxton as Ilan Mitchell-Smith's militaristic big brother. And that's Robert Downey Jr. as one of the in-crowd jerks who makes nerds Mitchell-Smith and Hall's lives miserable. Fortunately, this is a John Hughes comedy and our smart nerds create the perfect woman, Lisa (Kelly LeBrock), using a computer and voodoo. Lisa is a willing sex toy, has magical powers, and just wants to help the boys get even and meet nice babes. She even cleans up. The fantasy ebullience of Hughes is given full rein here and that's good and bad (mostly good). It's all aimed at a certain kind of hormone-addled, 16-year-old sensibility; but who doesn't have a little bit of that in them? --Keith Simanton

My item arrived in excellent condition as was described by the seller. It was well packed in bubble wrap and came in a box instead of a flimsy shipping envelope.I will certainly recommend this seller and shop this seller in the future! Thanks!

I purchased this product online with confidence as I had ordered from Amazon in the past when I lived in Georgia. However I will never order again.... This product was ordered in good faith, as being a new DVD. It was most certainly not. The DVD was SCRATCHED, AND HAD FINGER PRINTS ALL OVER IT AND SOMETHING STICKY... ALSO AFTER THIS PURCHASE MY CARD NUMBER WAS STOLEN AND THIS IS THE ONLY PURCHASE EVER MADE ON LINE AND THE BANK TRACED IN BACK TO THIS PURCHASE. MY CARD WAS DUPLICATED AND SOMEONE TRIED TO USE IT IN WEST HOLLYWOOD CALIFORNIA. I also didn't like the fact that this product was probably sold from a local person as everything was handwritten and the return address was just a few miles away. Now I'm concerned that did they not only steal my bank # but they also have my local address...
I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT YOU ALLOW PEOPLE LIKE THAT TO REPRESENT YOUR GOOD NAME.
Sincerely, No longer an Amazon Customer...

I think this is a great movie. Another must have to add to your DVD collection.
One of, if not the best 80's movie EVER. PERIOD. January 21, 2009

This is literally my favorite movie. I can't say anything about how well this remastered version is, because I don't own it, but I have rented it and if you are reading to see how good the film is, let me tell you, it's amazing! It's a great high-school flick for boys and girls alike. The jokes are literal side splitters. My best friend and I watched it last night and laughed throughout the entire movie. Anthony Michael Hall and Ilan Mitchell-Smith are excellent. Kelly Lebrock is amazing. All the characters are believable and seeing young Robert Downey Jr. is a nice surprise! He sure was a cutie.
The idea is that sex-crazed and unpopular Wyatt and Gary make a sexy woman on their computer and she comes to life and helps them become popular. In the end, they get the girls they really wanted and Lisa (computer woman) becomes the male gym teacher. There is also a TV series, but I don't know if it is any good.
If you liked Buddy's character (played by Billy Jacoby/Jayne) in "Just One of the Guys", "Hocus Pocus", and other 80's movies where unpopular boys get the girls they want, you will enjoy this movie. A younger kid probably won't understand most of it, but if you are an overprotective parent, Wyatt does wear girl's underwear, there is a brief naked woman scene (just a flash, literally only like two seconds from far away), and Lisa is often dressed in clothes that show lots of leg and her belly button, but never her breasts or bra. Lisa also kisses Wyatt, who is fifteen, and Lisa looks in her twenties. There is a lot of sex reference using 80's slang, a drinking scene where Gary gets very drunk and uses a fake ID, and a scene where Gary and Wyatt are asked if they would "lend" Lisa to some bullies. There is very little to no cussing.

.. and speaking as a scientist, I have found that wearing a bra on your head may not have lead to the scientific breakthroughs that the success of this movie might have predicted, sadly. I still try it now and again, which causes some comment in the canteen at lunchtimes but there you go. Kelly Le Brock bears no resemblance to a badger in this film, which is surprising bearing in mind her name (she might want to think about that) but she is undoubtedly one of the sexiest 80s screen chicks ever. I mean, right up there with Ione Skye in the Rachael Papers or Tawny Kitaen (possibly not her real name) in Bachelor Party. Anyway, film good.
Not based on true story by the way.
