Ferris Bueller

Answer: The Union Jack

Ferris Bueller's choice to hang the Union Jack on the reverse of his bedroom door is a nod to his appreciation for British culture. The flag's design, featuring a combination of crosses and a diagonal stripe, is distinct and recognizable, and serves as an emblem for the United Kingdom. Ferris' fascination with the country and its history is hinted at throughout the film, such as his use of a British accent when ordering food at a fancy restaurant. The use of the Union Jack as a decorative prop in his bedroom reinforces Ferris' character as someone who values style and individuality. Whether it was a conscious decision by the filmmakers or simply a characteristic chosen for the character, the presence of the flag serves as a small yet significant detail that adds to the charm of the movie.

Answer: Charlie Sheen

"You ought to spend a little more time dealing with yourself, and a little less time worrying about what your brother does." - Junkie.

Besides the Rooney subplot, the arc of Jeannie throughout the movie provides a second subplot. Jeanie is a bitter girl. She hates that her brother gets away with so much and resents her parents for their inability to see through Ferris' shenanigans. At school, she is resentful of the student body's collective sadness over Ferris' (apparent) illness. When she reports Rooney as an intruder in the Ferris Home (after she knocks him out with a kick to the face), she is hauled into the police station and charged with making a prank call (this would never have happened to Ferris). At the police station, she meets a junkie, about to be charged and, after an initial hostile conversation, she tells him she hates her brother because he skips school frequently when everybody else still has to go. The junkie, played with aplomb by a pre-star Charlie Sheen, tells Jeannie to deal with herself rather than think of what her brother is doing.

This appears to be a turning point in the movie as, towards the end of the movie, when she sees Ferris whilst driving her mother home (Ferris is unseen by Katie), Jeannie says nothing. Then when it appears Rooney has finally caught Ferris at the eleventh hour, Jeannie opens the door, drags Ferris inside and thanks Rooney for driving Ferris home. She then shows Rooney she has his wallet which he must have dropped when he broke into the Ferris home earlier. Jeanie tosses the wallet in the yard. As Rooney tries to retrieve it, we hear the family rottweiler recognise Rooney as his attacker. Rooney's screams are off-camera. Later a mauled Rooney is seen getting picked up by a school bus.

Farris makes it to his bedroom, gets into bed and uses the baseball to silence the stereo making the snoring sounds.

Answer: Atlanta Braves

Ferris caught a foul ball, and was seen on TV. He was seen right after Rooney looked at the game on TV. The away team was the Atlanta Braves, wearing their powder blue jerseys.

Answer: He opened the door Jeanie left unlocked when she came home and walked right in.

Rooney spent at least an hour of the film trying to get into the house, presumably to catch Ferris NOT being sick. But if the Dean had a brain he would have realized that a teen-aged kid -- especially a kid like Ferris Bueller -- who was playing hookie on a beautiful spring day, would not be at home.

After all the trouble he went through with the family Rottweiler, Rooney just waltzed right in the front door Jeanie left open when she flew home to catch and confront Ferris. I noticed at the end of the movie, however, as Mr. Rooney confronted Ferris at the back door -- when Ferris was trying to beat his parents home -- the Dean showed Ferris the house key, which was normally kept under the mat. "Looking for this?" Rooney smirked, implying he found and used it to get into the house. Continuity or editing error? Or just an additional piece of insight into the Dastardly Dean?

Answer: Hero

He said this after Ferris 'saved' him from drowning.

Answer: Save Ferris

The cover of the kid's notebook says 'Save Ferris'. This is also the name of a band but I'm not sure if that's where they got their name from or not.

Answer: Chicago Cubs

Ferris and friends attended a game at Chicago's Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs.

Answer: Dean of Students

Mr. Rooney was the one who chased Ferris all day long to prove that he was skipping school.

Answer: 4FBDO

The license plate number of Ed Rooney's car in the movie is 4FBDO. This alphanumeric code may seem insignificant, but it actually plays a pivotal role in the storyline. Ferris Bueller tricks Ed Rooney by using his computer to change his number of absences to cater him sick, which leads to Rooney's mission to catch Ferris in the act, eventually leading him to Ferris's house where he spots his car. It is the license plate number, 4FBDO, that Rooney checks on his clipboard and realizes that Ferris used his computer as a reference. This realization sets up the movie's climax, where Ferris and his friends try to make it home before Rooney catches them. This small detail proves that even seemingly insignificant details can have a major impact on the storyline of a movie.

Answer: For making a phony phone call

She did not really make a phony phone call; Rooney was actually intruding into their house. She was released after her mother came and picked her up.

Answer: "Danke Schoen" and "Twist and Shout"

What a range that Ferris Bueller had! One minute he was tenor Wayne Newton ("Danke Schoen," which spent eight weeks on "Billboard's Hot 100" in 1963), the next he was baritone Beatle John Lennon, huskily singing lead on "Twist and Shout" (a number 17 hit by the Isley Brothers in 1962 that reached number two by the Beatles in 1964).
And what a memorable movie scene that was!

Answer: European Socialism

"I do have a test today, that wasn't complete bull. It's on European socialism. I mean honestly, what's the point? I'm not European. I don't plan on becoming European. So who [cares] if they're socialists or not? They could be fascist anarchists. It still doesn't change the fact that I don't own a car".

Answer: Morris

Cameron, after killing the car: "When Morris comes home, he and I'll just have a little chat..."

Answer: A museum

'It's very cold, very beautiful, and you're not allowed to touch ANYTHING! Can you appreciate what it must've been like for Cameron in that joint as a baby?'

Answer: None

After he plays he proclaims to the audience with great pride that he has never had one lesson.

Answer: Rottweiler

The guard dog which gave Edward Rooney such a hard time was a Rottweiler.

Answer: A Computer

Ferris Bueller is known for his iconic red Ferrari, but in Ferris Bueller's Day Off 2, instead of a car, Ferris gets a computer. The gifted computer was a Macintosh 128K, one of the first personal computers released by Apple. The computer played a significant role in the plot of the movie, as Ferris uses it to hack into his school's system to change his grades. The computer ultimately becomes a crucial tool in Ferris's escape from being caught by his principal. Although it may not have been the flashy sports car that Ferris hoped for, the computer was a pivotal tool that helped him achieve his ultimate goal of having the best day off ever.

Answer: Cameron

"The 1961 Ferrari 250GT California. Less than a hundred were made. My father spent three years restoring this car. It is his love. It is his passion." - Cameron
"It is his fault he didn't lock the garage." - Ferris

The movie should have been titled "Cameron's Day Off" because, at its nub, this was what the movie was all about: Ferris trying to get his friend Cameron to face his fears so he can rid himself of all his psychological issues wrapped up as chronic hypochondria. (Cameron believes his Dad loves the Ferrari more than he loves Cameron - The Ferrari is a symbol of both Cameron's devastating misplaced attention and his son's sum of all fears.).

"Cameron, this is my ninth sick day. If I get caught, I don't graduate. I'm not doing it for me, I'm doing it for you." - Ferris

Not that Ferris was so altruistic that he (and Sloane) are not going to enjoy the day as well. Ferris' plan, of taking the Ferrari on a spin (and returning it unnoticed by Cameron's father) would go a long way to helping Cameron. The plan worked except for the parking garage attendants clocked up 170 miles on the odometer while our friends were enjoying the city.

(Incidentally, there were four Ferraris. The genuine one is on display in Cameron's garage and three cheaper copies - fibreglass replicas built on Mustang mechanicals. One was used for the friends' driving scenes, one with beefed-up suspension for the parking attendants' escapade and one that crashed).

There was a moment in the art gallery when Cameron examines Georges Seurat's "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte". Cameron sees himself in the painting, as the little girl dressed in white, who is holding her mother's hand. The mother isn't paying any attention to the girl and she seems upset. As the camera pans in on the girl, she is reduced to a group of dots, demonstrating how Cameron identifies with her discomfort but also with her absence. His sense of self has been destroyed by all of his anxiety. This painting signifies Cameron's lack of identity as he has been reduced to a collection of dots. It is at this point we realise that Ferris' monologues about his friend are accurate.

Back at the garage, Ferris and Cameron jack up the car and run the car in reverse, hoping to take off the extra miles. It doesn't work. At this point, Cameron starts to get angry. "Who do you love?", Cameron rhetorically asks his absent father while kicking the front bumper, damaging the car.
"Who do you love? You love a car!"
Cameron does not hate the car, it's what the car represents: an absent pre-occupied father who loves an inanimate object more than his own son, and the fear and anxiety that such knowledge has shaped him. By kicking the car repeatedly Cameron, kicks it off the jack. It reverses through the back glass wall of the garage and crashes into the woods below. He sends his fears with it, and he realises he now has the strength to finally confront his missing, withholding parent.

This is not the way Ferris wanted Cameron to face his fears but it works nonetheless. There is nothing left for Ferris to do but to get home before his parents, to ensure his day off is not discovered. (We never find out what happens to Cameron, but we assume he has conquered all his psychological issues).

Cut to the final scene where Ferris is lying in bed, his parents happy that he is 'recovering' from his illness:

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it" - Ferris.

Answer: Wrist

Ferris wanted to use the car to pick up Sloane. However, Cameron kept on thinking of excuses for Ferris not to use it. Cameron said that his dad memorized the mileage. This scene took place while Ferris was trying to convince Cameron to use his dad's Ferrari.
