Weird Science

Gary and Wyatt are on the edge of American High School Life. In fact they are so far on the edge, they are desperately clinging on by their fingertips, trying anything to fit in, do well at their studies, make friends.... Naah, it's really only their aim to meet girls and get laid, same as all the rest.

They just aren't any good at it. Add to this Wyatt's retentive, blackmailing, would be GI Joe brother Chet (an early role for 80's stalwart, Bill Paxton), who makes both their lives a real misery and you get two pretty frustrated boys.

In desperation, they come up with a really wild, kooky idea whilst watching Frankenstein one night during a sleepover weekend - they can't get the perfect woman, so why not create one?

Using images from magazines cut out and scanned in (and some strange ritual involving some jump-leads and a barbie doll) the computer allows them to design her on screen, but some strange athmospheric conditions, a power surge and some strobe lighting later, there she is.... Lisa (the luscious Kelly LeBrock). Gym gear, bare midriff, legs from here to la-la, she's perfect and she's theirs.

She also seems to have some amazing powers over everybody else, so that suddenly the boys are popular, they are driving Ferrari's and throwing the best parties you could ever want to attend.

They even manage to get the girls (the usual way - save the life of a beautiful girl by rescuing her from a crazed gang of biker zombies and she'll fall for you. Works every time.)

On the way to the cutesy finale, Lisa helps them deal with Chet, put away Ian and Max, their two main tormentors at school, find a way to keep the girls after everything is finished and set them up for a much better life than they ever dreamed. Then she's away... but to where?
