3. What does John's character want to be now that he is finished with high school?

Answer: Artist

4. Who plays John's love interest, Cassandra, in this film?

Answer: Demi Moore

Molly Ringwald, who was a brat-packer along with Demi Moore and Ally Sheedy in the early 80's, appeared with Cusack in "Sixteen Candles". Lori Singer gained fame by being Kevin Bacon's love interest in "Footloose". Cusack never appeared with Ally or Lori.

5. What does Hoops call the rich and beautiful kids?

Answer: cute, fuzzy bunnies

There are some very amusing cartoon sequences involving Hoops and the cute, fuzzy bunnies. Especially when the bunnies get their come-uppance.

6. Who played Beckersted, the "elder" baddie in this film?

Answer: Mark Metcalf

Many people may not recognize Mark Metcalf, but he's portrayed some very popular characters over the years. He was the "jerk" Neidermeyer in "Animal House", the Master in the TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", and the loud-mouthed dad in the Twisted Sister videos back in the 80s.

7. What stand-up comedian plays a Stork brother in this film?

Rodney Dangerfield and Sam Kinison played characters in "Back To School", which was also released in 1986.

Answer: Odie

Teddy Beckersted and his crew of "baddies" cut Odie's tongue off before the start of the race.

9. Curtis Armstrong, who plays Ack-Ack, was in another film with Cusack. What was it?

Answer: Better Off Dead

Yep, Savage Steve Holland must have liked these two guys a lot since he cast them both in his first couple of films. Cusack played in both "Sixteen Candles" and "Grosse Pointe Blank". Armstrong portrayed "Booger" in all of the "Revenge of the Nerds" films.

10. What was Uncle Frank determined to do that summer?

Answer: Win $1,000,000 on the radio

He got through on the phone and actually won the million, but while dancing around he accidentally unplugged the phone. When the D.J. announced that the next caller won, Frank lost it completely and fired an RPG at the radio station. Rich Little (the man of 1,000 voices) was the D.J.
