Roman Nowicki apparently has some issues with women. This film basically is about hot chicks who look down on a couple of janitor guys, and then they later are violently killed by an everso mysterious masked man. Apparently Roman Nowicki isn't the director's real name, the film wasn't really shot in Poland as he claims, and the prostitutes/strippers/actresses don't really speak Russian. Word is that everyone involved wanted to separate themselves from this one, and rightly so.

Take the blockbuster hit Fast Times and Ridgemont High and remove the sex, drugs and profanity, and what is left? That would be Fast Times: the short-lived television series. Oddly enough, the only returning cast members were a handful of the teaching staff. A young Patrick Dempsey takes over as Damone, Dean Cameron plays a halfway decent Spicoli, and a pre-Wonder Years Jason Hervey appears as Spicoli's brother.

Follow the exploits of some California high school students in this composite print of the film including footage exclusive to the cable TV and network TV versions of the movie. Added scenes include:
· Damone and Rattner talk about what to do on a date and Damone telling Ratt to play Led Zeppelin IV. This scene is after a scene in which Phoebe Cates and Jennifer Jason Leigh are talking on the phone and they are in their bra and panties. In this conversation Phoebe Cates warns Jennifer Jason Leigh about Led Zeppelin IV.
· A new scene between Brad and a guidance counselor about his life.
· After Brad gets fired there is a scene where he rips down a Coca-Cola poster in his bedroom.
· Mr. Hand signing people's yearbooks at the school dance.
· Scenes from Stacy's abortion that are omitted in the video version.
· An additional scene right after the scene where Mr. Hand rips up Spicoli's card on the first day of school. Spicoli and two of his buddies are in the bathroom and Spicoli is telling a overly fantastic version of the incident, about how he told Mr. Hand not to mess with him or there would be trouble. This probably was to tie in with the joke later where the story gets aroud that he pulled a knife on him.
· Ratner giving Damone dating advice at the end of the movie
· More dialogue in the "no shirt, no shoes, no dice" scene. Spicoli says "I have uno nickel-ette...and a pick". He then makes up a story of how Mick Jagger gave him that pick.
· A scene with Spicoli and his friends playing Pac-Man and Damone talking about junior high kids with Ratner.
· Dennis appears in a scene following the "no shirt, no shoes, no dice" scene, and he tells Brad to explain why the french fries that were poured in the trashcan.
· Brad's Bud (played by Nicolas Cage) has a much larger role in the TV network version whereas in the theatrical version he has virtually no dialogue. A new scene between Stacey and her brother and his friends where they warn her about Mr. Hand. His first (and best) line in the TV version is: "Brad, your sister's turning into a fox!" said after Stacy and Brad's conversation about Mr. Hand, plus more dialogue between Brad and Brad's Bud during the cafeteria scene with Brad discussing their plans for the weekend.
· The scene with Stacy and Linda in the mall after closing is expanded with a girl approaching Linda asking her about borrowing money to "take care of her problem."
· An extra scene of Linda comforting Stacy after she tells Linda that she might be pregnant after her tryst with Mike.
· More telephone conversation between Spicoli and his friend (Eric Stoltz) about summer vacation plans.

Hard-nosed, realistic view of college fraternity life circa 1954.

Morgan plays Harrison's girl friend who thinks the whole frat system is elitist and corrupt and begs him to abandon his desire to join before it is too late. Uncompromising in its brutal examination of the hazing and prejudice practiced in the fraternity system, the film is filled with excellent performances from a cast of newcomers (especially Newman, Paul Newman's son, who died tragically of a drug overdose soon after this film's release). It was produced and scripted by USC graduate student Charles Gary Allison:, who employed a student cast and crew with advice from Hollywood professionals.

Roman Nowicki apparently has some issues with women. This film basically is about hot chicks who look down on a couple of janitor guys, and then they later are violently killed by an everso mysterious masked man. Apparently Roman Nowicki isn't the director's real name, the film wasn't really shot in Poland as he claims, and the prostitutes/strippers/actresses don't really speak Russian. Word is that everyone involved wanted to separate themselves from this one, and rightly so.

Take the blockbuster hit Fast Times and Ridgemont High and remove the sex, drugs and profanity, and what is left? That would be Fast Times: the short-lived television series. Oddly enough, the only returning cast members were a handful of the teaching staff. A young Patrick Dempsey takes over as Damone, Dean Cameron plays a halfway decent Spicoli, and a pre-Wonder Years Jason Hervey appears as Spicoli's brother.

Follow the exploits of some California high school students in this composite print of the film including footage exclusive to the cable TV and network TV versions of the movie. Added scenes include:
· Damone and Rattner talk about what to do on a date and Damone telling Ratt to play Led Zeppelin IV. This scene is after a scene in which Phoebe Cates and Jennifer Jason Leigh are talking on the phone and they are in their bra and panties. In this conversation Phoebe Cates warns Jennifer Jason Leigh about Led Zeppelin IV.
· A new scene between Brad and a guidance counselor about his life.
· After Brad gets fired there is a scene where he rips down a Coca-Cola poster in his bedroom.
· Mr. Hand signing people's yearbooks at the school dance.
· Scenes from Stacy's abortion that are omitted in the video version.
· An additional scene right after the scene where Mr. Hand rips up Spicoli's card on the first day of school. Spicoli and two of his buddies are in the bathroom and Spicoli is telling a overly fantastic version of the incident, about how he told Mr. Hand not to mess with him or there would be trouble. This probably was to tie in with the joke later where the story gets aroud that he pulled a knife on him.
· Ratner giving Damone dating advice at the end of the movie
· More dialogue in the "no shirt, no shoes, no dice" scene. Spicoli says "I have uno nickel-ette...and a pick". He then makes up a story of how Mick Jagger gave him that pick.
· A scene with Spicoli and his friends playing Pac-Man and Damone talking about junior high kids with Ratner.
· Dennis appears in a scene following the "no shirt, no shoes, no dice" scene, and he tells Brad to explain why the french fries that were poured in the trashcan.
· Brad's Bud (played by Nicolas Cage) has a much larger role in the TV network version whereas in the theatrical version he has virtually no dialogue. A new scene between Stacey and her brother and his friends where they warn her about Mr. Hand. His first (and best) line in the TV version is: "Brad, your sister's turning into a fox!" said after Stacy and Brad's conversation about Mr. Hand, plus more dialogue between Brad and Brad's Bud during the cafeteria scene with Brad discussing their plans for the weekend.
· The scene with Stacy and Linda in the mall after closing is expanded with a girl approaching Linda asking her about borrowing money to "take care of her problem."
· An extra scene of Linda comforting Stacy after she tells Linda that she might be pregnant after her tryst with Mike.
· More telephone conversation between Spicoli and his friend (Eric Stoltz) about summer vacation plans.

Hard-nosed, realistic view of college fraternity life circa 1954.

Uncompromising in its brutal examination of the hazing and prejudice practiced in the fraternity system, the film is filled with excellent performances from a cast of newcomers (especially Newman, Paul Newman's son, who died tragically of a drug overdose soon after this film's release). It was produced and scripted by USC graduate student Charles Gary Allison:, who employed a student cast and crew with advice from Hollywood professionals.
