Risky Biz introduced me to the 928, but that Weird Science LSD burn out made it the 928 a "must have" for me.

That was Risky Business and a Ferrari 308 was used. The 928's exhaust sound in Weird Science was really the car's sound.

It disappeared before Wyatt's parents came home and everything was put back in place by Lisa, the computer generated woman created by Wyatt and Gary.

I watch Risky business with my wife from time to time... I say I watch it for the 928 scenes. But I REALLY watch it with her because it usually has the desired effect, if you know what I mean.

No, Erik, what do you mean?! She wants to go for a ride in the 928?! Or maybe she wants to go for a ride on the subway or is it an Elevated?

Man I remember liking the young blond girl in Weird Science thinking that she was hot. Now that I'm older I realize that I've had beer goggles on even before I was legal to drink.

Rebecca De Mornay was not the "young blond girl" on Weird Science, she was the blond on Risky Business.
