WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

    Ferris Bueller. Larger than life. Blessed with a magical sense of serendipity. He's a model for all those who take themselves too seriously. A guy who knows the value of a day off.
    Ferris Bueller's Day Off chronicles the events in the day of a rather magical young man, Ferris (Matthew Broderick). One spring day, toward the end of his senior year, Ferris gives in to an overwhelming urge to cut school and head for downtown Chicago with his girl (Mia Sara) and his best friend (Alan Ruck), to see the sights, to experience a day of freedom and show that with a little ingenuity, a bit of courage and a red Ferrari, life at 17 can be a joy!

TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• This movie inspired a short lived TV series called Ferris Bueller that ran for only one season from 1990 to 1991 on NBC. The show starred Charlie Schlatter as Ferris Bueller and Jennifer Aniston as his sister Jeannie Bueller.
• Charlie Sheen, who only has a small role as a drug user in the film, reportedly stayed awake for more than 48 hours to create the look of an actual tweaker.
• The role of Cameron was originally offered to Anthony Michael Hall, but he turned down the role because he did not want to be type cast.
• Alan Ruck, who ended up playing Cameron in the film was actually 30 years old at the time of filming, his character was supposed to be 17.
• Cindy Pickett and Lyman Ward who played Ferris Bueller's mom and dad in the movie, actually ended up marrying each other in real life shortly after filming.
• Since it was too expensive to use a real Ferrari in the film, the producers actually made three fake cars using fiberglass to make the outside of the car. The car they wanted it to look like was actually as rare as they said in the film, and after the film's release Paramount received many angry letters from car enthusiasts who thought they actually wrecked the rare vehicle.
• Ben Stein, who played the economics teacher in the film, actually graduated with honors in 1966 with an economics degree, and for his role he was told to improvise a lecture that he might give, as a result, everything he said except for role call was made up on set.
