Seems to me that of the 2, RD Jr would have been the better fit. I mean, his Back to School character (Derek) was a tad on the odd side.

That’s who they really wanted, it would have been a much different movie.

Because teenage girls want the cool guy and most girls want the rich guy. Its hardwired hunter-gatherer DNA...the question women ask: who's gonna be man enough to take care of me? Duckie is no hunter. Plus Duckie was screwed from the get go. He was in the friend zone, serving 18 to life, and that's a female maximum security prison even Andy Dufresne couldn't escape from.


Robert Downey Jr or Michael J Fox was supposed to be Duckie in the original script though. So it wasn’t supposed to be someone like Cryer. They had to change the story to fit Cryer as Duckie.
