Willis? I love this movie. It's about my hometown, and filmed in the town I lived in before moving to Huntsville.

I went to high school with Wooderson's kids.

10, great movie, great cast, great soundtrack.

Seriously, everybody. Don’t go getting soft on me this summer. You’re sitting around the pool all day, chasing the muff around. BREAK DOWN!



Oh and some of Linklaters former HS classmates sued him because of his portayals.

quote:

the real Wooderson, Slater and Floyd are here, sitting at this long, shiny conference table in a Huntsville law office, looking older and less hairy and a bit peeved. They're explaining why they recently filed suit against their old high school acquaintance Richard Linklater, who made "Dazed and Confused" back in 1993, for "defamation" and "negligent infliction of emotional distress."

"Like, for example, the scene that shows me showing somebody how to make a bong in shop class," says Andy Slater, now 45. "I did not do that. I never did that. But they used my name and they show me making a bong in shop class."

Slater pauses for a second, then smiles. "I don't sit around the house making bongs -- dammit."
...Well, of course. Making bongs in shop class -- that is a tad far-fetched.

"Oh, no, they did that," says Slater. "But it wasn't me."




quote:

Floyd says he was shocked to see a character played by Jason London called Randall "Pink" Floyd, the school's star quarterback, who wonders if he'd rather smoke weed and drink beer than play football. Floyd had been a second-string offensive lineman on the school team, but the cinematic promotion to star quarterback didn't make him feel any better about all the dope the Pink character smokes in the movie


read the article its good stuff

I am from this era as well, and this movie captured the time perfectly.
Most accuarate portrayal of any time period in any movie, ever.
