How much of the movie did you get to watch flaco? It's a simple Yes, or no. Your lack of response to mikes question has deprived him of 3 months of sleep. He hasn't been himself. His family is worried... Not really, but that's beside the point. Anyway, your science teacher was the "Real Genius" in knowing how to cap off the school year in a genuine 80's fashion!
@@thepancakereviewer it's music... there fore it is art. There fore it is up to YOUR interpretation... as in the meaning of the artist does NOT matter.. It's up to you and what you feel and think about it :) Since you know, you decided to bring up the original meaning. So.... in case you want to mask that now lol which is why music, book, theater, movies, all of it, is GREAT!!!!!!!!
Juan Pablo Monzon Or it could be that this laser intended to be tested to see if it could truly incinerate a person from orbit was turned into something so benign and wonderful at the end.
I remember as I was enjoying the blissful ending, my mom said there would be so much glass in that popcorn that it wouldn’t be safe to eat or play in it like that. Dammit, mom!!! Lol!
@@Ivy94F , I was thinking that they might have used what is referred to sometimes as "sugar glass". It is a clear pane of specially processed sugar used to allow stunt persons to crash through simulated window panes with a low probability of suffering the cuts they might get if real glass was used. The material is extremely expensive, but far less costly than real cuts would be.
This movie is bittersweet to me. I always thought I'd go to college, fit in, have friends, and live a life filled with love and happiness... It never happened, but I'm still alive, and so it goes...
If you were an 80s kid, this song embodied what you thought life was going to be like when you grew up and it STILL gives you chills in 2021. Can I get a like on that or what?
Remember waking up from a typical Californian hot summer night and this was on cable ... nothing to do early in morning by the end all of my friends came over to play but watch the movie till the end... my mom made us strawberry vanilla shakes .. seems like an unexciting memory but things like this is what I recall when ever that song everybody wants to rule the world comes on...
From director Martha Coolidge: "Our Special FX guy became an expert on popcorn (which, by the way, weighs 2 pounds per cubic foot). In order to build the exploding house, he had to design all kinds of hydraulic systems to move the popcorn inside. To get that much popcorn, we had to make half of it as we couldn’t buy that much popcorn from commercial companies in that short a period of time. We popped 40 tons ourselves on the lot for 6 weeks with huge poppers outside so the whole lot smelled like popcorn. We bought another 100 tons with a six week advanced order. When we shot on location, we stored the popcorn in 38 40-foot tractor-trailer trucks parked up the road. It took more than a day to clean up the site to do take two, so we had to go shoot other scenes in between. It was also amazing to watch. I’ll never forget tons of popcorn gushing out of that house.”
This is a lost art. No one would do this today, you'd just CGI that. Now I'm not going to be an old fart and say the old ways are better and all CGI is shit...movies evolve, that's how it is. But it does give you an appreciation for how much work really went into a movie, and the lengths people would go to get an amazing show in the age before you could just get animators to do it for you.
@@dahitmannwell I think it really shows in the actors expressions that the popcorn is real. CGI there's always those looks that don't appear to be real, because the actor can't make us believe that the CGI is real. To me, the genuine smiles in this scene let us know that the actors are really enjoying what's going on around them.
try these Top Secret, The Man With One Red Shoe, Better Off Dead, Fletch, Ferris Buellers Day Off. There's so many but those all came out mid 80s like Real Genius
I will be praying for you, if you haven't found it already there is a much deeper purpose to life, Jesus will accept us no matter where we've been or what we've done if we just turn to him and ask. I know depression is a terrible thing but if you do already have Jesus then know that he has a purpose and reason and remember that some of the most prominent leaders of the Christian faith suffered terribly in their lives. May God give you the strength to stand up through it, even through medical assistance and may he give you the comfort of purpose to your life and security of spending eternal life with him. Hit me up if you feel like God is trying to talk to you about this and know that I care about you as a fellow person and will do everything I can to be there for you🤗🤗
This was the epitome of my childhood... And it makes me feel so emotional any time I hear this song.... The sad happy melancholy of ruling the world is nostalgic
We got my Dad a DVD player for his birthday more about fifteen years ago (when those things were still relatively new), and this was one of the first movies on DVD my family ever got. Plus, "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" is one of his favorite songs.
This movie came ot when I was going to Medical school at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee! The guy standing up and screaming reminds me of people burning out! Great fun! Thanks you for posting this! Dr.Tim Rasico
This song can go over the ending of any movie and work. It's universal in a way. You can recut any ending to an awesome montage and put this song over it and it's incredible.
This ending almost gives off the same vibe of the last day of school, I dont know why, this movie is great, and in my opinion my favorite ending of all time
it was the best time to grow up...I will always have fond memories that will stay with me even when I'm old.....oh shit!!! I am old..............................\\m//
Its funny everyone thinks their decade of childhood is the best. Its less about the decade and more about you just being a care free child, which everyone will experience throughout all time
supercaptain - I used to think that - but positive movies like this aren't made anymore. The 80's culture is far superior to that of modern America, that's why everyone tries to remake media from that era.
This song brings back so many happy memories of the summer I graduated high school. My best friend Joe and I went to see this movie just before we were about to head off to college. So, whenever I hear "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", it reminds me of that day and a very happy time in my life. :) Thanks for posting this! :)
The 80s have to be one of the best decades...or possibly the best decade in American history! Life was so good in those days! What a time to be young and alive to experience the feeling of that time! I'll go to my grave happy to have been so blessed to see practically the best of everything life had to offer at the right time! Fun is an understatement when it comes to the awesome 80s!💯
Poor William Atherton. He gets soaked in liquid marshmallow in one movie and his house filled with popcorn to the point where it's knocked off its foundation in another. Oh and punched in the face too. It really sucks to be him lol.
i wish i grew up in the 80s Real Genius is my favorite movie 1985 was a good year for movies like BTTF, The Breakfast Club And The Goonies and i saw this movie on The Disney Channel for the first time in 1997 and on HBO & Cinemax in 1998
Rumor has it after this event Kent left school right before graduation and joined a monastery. The others never told him it wasn’t really God. Chris Knight graduated and got the job but was fired some months later for hitting on the CEOs hot daughter. He ended up working at a Best Buy where he tells everyone he built a mega laser weapon. No one believes him. Mitch sadly became what Chris tried so hard to not become. He cracked but only because without the mega laser he had no purpose. He moved into Laszlo’s old basement place. He’s also tried to enter a Frito Lays contest even though there hasn’t been one since they stopped it after Laszlo won 31.9 percent of the prizes. Jordan graduated but started her own business manufacturing beds that have a book holder that can turn the pages to a book you’re reading. It will also turn off your lamp for you. She also will make sweaters for anyone…still based on her brother’s size. She also still hasn’t slept. Laszlo divorced Sherry and lost 50% of the 31.9 percent of his Frito Lay prizes in the settlement. She was cheating on him with a student at Pacific Tech. Laszlo is trying to move back into his old basement apartment. Mitch won’t let him. Ick, the Asian guy, started his own laboratory but sadly died when in one of his ice experiments the evaporation gas did end up exploding. RIP Ick Professor Hathaway was fired from Pacific Tech and after a congressional investigation was prosecuted but given a 3 years probation. He found a job teaching at a local junior where he was fired for sleeping with one of his students.
Fun-fact: every bit of the popcorn was real and taken from farms which were unable to sell excess that season. The farmers received a good compensation, all given free movie passes, and even had signs made which said “As seen in “Real Genius”-all of which received a boost in business the following season by mounting them on the signs on the road by their farms. Made up, but fun.
Quite possibly the best ending scene and song in any movie. Ever.
icing on the cake for me is when the dog shows up!
agree..
Not as good as "The Breakfast Club" but close
YES!!!
@@dancrews7769 real genius tops it
It's absolutely impossible to hear this song and NOT think of this movie.
This has to be the most 80's movie ending of all time
came here instead of the actual video
But in a good way.
Remember Better Off Dead...the newspaper boy 'still wants his two dollars'.
🤣😂
surely it's bender throwing his fist in the air at the end of the breakfast club.
This is what the 80’s were all about. Fun times. Adventure. Great movies that were outside the box.
yeah movies take themselves way too seriously these days. Perfect commentary about music and movies of the 80's
I wish I could give your comment a trillion trillion trillion likes
agreed, even though i was from baby to toddler though the 80's
@Joe Williams agreed
Aside from the growing economic inequality and disbanding of mental health services.

Ngl I got a bit glassy eyed watching this because I haven't seen this movie since I was about 12 years old.
Science teacher in high school let us watch this on a Friday on last period before summer. I'll never forget it.
Flaco Rocks how much of the movie did you guys get to watch because class is only one hour long and the movie is probably longer
Holy shit,that must have been awesome. This is just one of the most fun movies ever made,never gets old...
How much of the movie did you get to watch flaco? It's a simple Yes, or no. Your lack of response to mikes question has deprived him of 3 months of sleep. He hasn't been himself.

@@MURDERDOLLSW13 thanks for the laugh buddy
Either the teacher showed it over two days OR he let the students stay after class 🤔
Movies just don't have endings like this anymore 😩😩😩😩
Val Kilmer, forever young in this movie. Such a classic movie!
Yup 😍❤️✨✨
Checkout the movie "Top Secret" It's hysterical.

I am 39 years old and i get such 80's nostalgia from the ending of this movie! Thank you for the time machine guys!
I'm also 39 and I feel and I totally understand
@Jason Strom 1985 was a good year for movies like BTTF , The Breakfast Club And The Goonies
Manny B. Take me back to when I was a kid filled with possibilities 👍🏼
36 here. Simpler times. Mom, Dad, grandma, and grandad were here. Cynicism was not in my vocabulary. I had hair. *sigh*
I just turned 37 and still come back to this movie when I need grounding👌
The feel good ending movie of the 80's and possibly all time. That music starts playing it just takes you back to another place in time. .
This song will always put a smile on face
I agree
Even knowing its about government corruption It always brings a smile on my face.

its called nostaalgia

There's still time for college. Who knows?
Is anyone going back to the 80's? If so take me with you!
Get these guys rig up the delorean and we're gone!!!!
I am working on my time machine right now, I will take you but I have a lot of people in front of you.
What about a telephone booth?
I can't wait till time machines are made
Future scientist: time travel is closer then we think.. I’ll be more then glad to take you back to the 80s

Caught this movie on a I love the 80's movie channel.
What's CRAZY is looking up these Actors almost 40 years later.. Val was soooo cute 😍
Definitely agree. This one exemplified the cautious optimism and fresh energy of that era. We were blessed to have lived through it.
*2023,, and ON
This song goes so good with the ending of this movie
A good one... this one, My Science Project, Weird Science, all great 80s flicks. I was 14 when this came out. A great time to be a teenager.
The ending is perfect, nothing but feel good,I miss my childhood ☹️
Me 2
my god, the memories and nostalgia....
Mark Weddle said perfect
Man I missed the he'll out of the 80's
Me too
Flight of the Navigator, Short Circuit, Weird Science, Explorers, Honey I shrunk the kids, Batteries not included.
I miss being a kid in the 80's!
21 Jump Street(TV show), Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off ...
Me too, so so much!!!
So do i a lot of great memories. Sports MJ at his prime magic killing it. Beautiful time.
This song became one of my favorite 80's songs, first time I heard it was from this movie😘😘love the 80's forever

Hey. I am on 8.11.2024. Born in 1949.

It was a great decade and I feel it was the last decade for kids to grow up with innocence.
Its funny everyone thinks their decade of childhood is the best. Its less about the decade and more about you just being a care free child, which everyone will experience throughout all time
Wrong.

Late response but you pick up so much more after a second and third viewing
Remember this being on HBO constantly In the late 80s 🤟🏽🙌🏽❤️
The '80s were glorious.
Yes they were, but not as good as the 70's.
We watched this movie at least every day or every other day during an IO cruise in the late 80's. Holds a place in my heart.

The nerd girl is Michelle Meyrink. She is also the nerd girl in Revenge of the Nerds. She's actually really cute when she's not trying to look bad.

Stacy Peralta as shuttle pilot!
I love the 80s!
Love this tune and this song rocks
Love this movie bring back memories ❤
Tear for fear
Que saudades dos anos 80, amo esse filme e sou muito fã de Val Kilmer!
I still pop this movie in if nothing else to watch, Or just for a pick up from being down, Love it :0)
I also wondered if Hathaway was allergic to popcorn because when Chris was eating it he gets pretty defensive when telling him to get rid of it
When your entire movie is a popcorn commercial
Mark my words this will be a show
I love the 80's never forgot about this movie
Most underrated movie of all time. Brilliant, funny, touching, and Tears for Fears' epic masterpiece.
