re: I feel stupid...what are some movie facts you didn't realize for waaay too long

Here's one - that may even have been unintentional on the filmmakers' part:

I've seen Risky Business - give or take, a dozen times over the past 30 years. After about 6 or 7 times, the lightbulb went on -

They're waiting at the shop, after the 928 has been extracted from Lake Michigan - the mechanic says, "Who's the U-Boat commander?"

Fine - I got that the car was underwater right away - but it was a German car - so, 6 or 7 viewings, and probably the same number of years, later - FINALLY - I got it.



So this is both "Germans" AND I was a dumbass - and really no excuse, because I was also a history major.
