Rememba! Rememba! Rememba! Rememba! Fame!

Almost 30 years before



there was



For those of y'all that don't know, everybody LOVED skinny little Coco/Irene Cara's teacup titties and stringy "Indian" hair. Leroy/Gene Anthony Ray was the business and every female and not a few males wanted to give him the business. Leroy was straight in the movie, but there was widespread speculation about his preference in real life. Regardless, there was a legion of women who wanted to find out how strong that "preference" was. Everybody loved to hate Hilary, the rich little ballerina bitch. Peep a super young Dr. Romano from E.R. with an orange afro (Montgomery MacNeil/Paul McCrane). A legion of kids grew up thinking high school was going to be like "Hot Lunch" in the cafeteria and the scene where all the kids pour out of the school and dance on the cars. News flash: high school was nowhere near as fun as this movie!

  1. I absolutely loved the original. My aunt introduced me to the movie. I always wanted to go to that high school growing up. I hope the new movie does the old one justice.
