(27,677 posts)Ferris: It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.
From the movie:
Most of the license plates are all abbreviations for titles of films by John Hughes. Katie's = VCTN (National Lampoon's Vacation); Jeannie's = TBC (The Breakfast Club); Tom's = MMOM (Mr. Mom); Rooney's = 4FBDO (Ferris Bueller's Day Off). The exception is Cameron's Ferrari (seen when Ferris first pulls out of the garage), the license plate of which reads NRVOUS.

Staring down a walrus, a tie-in to his movie quote, "I could be the walrus, I'd still have to bum rides off people."

Couple of my best friends are from Chicago and I've seen FB and The Blues Brothers more times than I would care to say.

Take-off on the post-credits ending.

(27,677 posts)BTW, there's a new one up. The original played twice with Broderick voice-over on the second.
Basically trying to defuse the Internet uproar that it's not a trailer for a sequel.

(27,677 posts)The restaurant at the end is Chez Neuf. Neuf is French for 9, as in the number of Bueller's absences pronounced so succinctly by Rooney in the movie.
In the movie: the French restaurant Bueller crashes is "Chez Quis" which is a pun, as said aloud it would be "Shakeys", the pizza chain. "Chez Qui" means 'to whom' in French.

No offense. Opinions of movies are subjective
