Muffy.. the William Zabka look alike was actually a guy named Tom Franz who worked as a production assistant on "Valley Girl".
As far as imdb.. I Iove imdb, but while helping my buddy get his page up to date.. I realized it is only as good as the person managing each individual page.

Has anybody ever checked out the shooting locations for this movie? Like the houses that were used, school, etc?

Veronica.. I'd love to tell you that I took that pic, but you so know that I would have parked my car diagonal in the driveway first!
I've been to The Sherman Oaks Galleria, DuPar's, The Del Amo Fashion Center, The Viper Room, and Casa Vega.. but I never knew the addresses to the houses until recently. So the next time I'm in LA.. I'm totally going to seek them out too.

I was waiting for Ronnie's input on this topic!
I love the girls trying on Beth's lingerie....tying it on and over their heads....I swear I need the captions in that scene to translate the val-talk.

Ronnie - you summed up the very complicated domestic scenario in the Brent household perfectly. As for Beth's comment to Lyle about Suzi "feeling the need to compete with her since her father died" - what a joke; it was so obviously vice-versa! Beth Brent was a classic cougar. A very pretty one at that.

and to top it off, i think beth was the prettiest valley girl in the movie. ha!!
regarding the special edition dvd, i had bought valley girl for a friend who hadn't seen it a few years back, and that was when i noticed the special features were not the same as mine. it sucks they did it that way.

quote:20. -How so many questions were left unanswered: why didn’t the lead girl (i forget her name) ever find out about Tommy and her slutty friend?
i see julie never finds out what happened, but doesn't loryn try to tell her about it, when they are sitting at the diner, talking about picking randy or tommy?
i always wondered about that scene, because it feels like loryn is about to confess what she did with tommy, but it just cuts off after julie says, "i don't know what to do" and loryn replies.."me neither." *end scene* lol
about julie finally running off with randy in the end, even though julie was back with tommy, we know that she wanted to be with randy deep down. when she agrees to go back to tommy, the look on her face at the end of the scene says that it's not what she really wants, but she's gonna go through with it. so randy tries a bunch of ways to get her back, and she starts to become flattered by it, but still doesn't respond, until the end, at the prom. tommy is promising this big surprise after prom, and julie starts to become annoyed by him. tommy tries to kiss her when they are backstage and she pulls away. and then BAM, randy pops up again, ready to fight tommy off once and for all, and snags julie up. i guess at that final moment, she wasn't going to fight it anymore. and they run off together.
it made sense to me?

Ronnie.. you did an excellent job of describing my thoughts on Julie's situation.
The discussion with her Dad was an awesome scene and explained how she truly felt towards Randy. However, Stacey basically made Julie choose between Randy and her friends. Personally, I think Suzi and Loryn would have accepted Randy.. it was Stacey that just wouldn't allow Julie to be happy with a Val dude.
Also, when the "Valley Girl" Special Edition DVD came out originally someone on here posted that it was a limited edition and future editions would be stripped down. So I went out that week and bought 2 extra copies... at the time it seemed crazy, but I remember having a VHS tape of "Valley Girl" for years after it went out of print and I had to be extremely careful every time I would rewind it for fear it might break. In 2003 the "Valley Girl" VHS was selling for like $150 on ebay it was so in demand.
Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts and answers! As you know, this is a movie I cherish and totally enjoy reading everyone's input.

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone can give me the dialog between Julie and her dad, talking about Randy and being yourself? Something along those lines? When they had that heartfelt discussion? Thanks

Found this little posting from a guy named Vance Gentile who claimed to be..
OK an extra - I am in the salmon colored polo shirt in the Sushi Party scene. I love being in this time capsule. Nicholas Cage was intense yet distant, Deborah Foreman was a sweetheart, EG Daily brought her dog and told extras to hold it when she had scenes. Meeting Josie Cotton was cool..

The only thing in this movie I found disapointing is that skip did not shag the hot mum.
She was smokin and IMO the hottest Valley Girl.
don't get me wrong though - very classic movie. I just wish skip nailed the hot mum.

Man I wish I lived in the States and could cruise around to different movie locations.
I live in Australia, and they didn't make classic 80's teen movies like Valley Girl and Caddyshack here.

Plastics is definitely a nod to "The Graduate." Dustin Hoffman has just graduated college. A family friend gives him a tip on what to do for his career. "Plastics." He says. The main focus of the movie is Dustin Hoffman's affair with an older woman. So, when she says to Skip "Plastics... The time to act is when the time is right" she is trying to tell him to make his move. When he plays dumb and says "what time is it" she gets exasperated and says "actually it's time for Suzie to be home." Basically, you blew it Skip.

I totally agree, though I must admit when I first watched "Valley Girl" condoms was my original thought. Also, enjoy the fact that "Plastics" is the password for the club in "Modern Girls".

The movie still would have been made better if Skip slept with the hot mum.
