Goofs
The beginning of the film mentions the time period is early 1960s (1960 - 1962) which is when Bobby, who is Lenny's father, dies. However, even the oldest high school student in mid-1980s (1985 in this case) would have been born in the mid-to-late 1960s (1966 - 1968).

Quotes
[after learning that he's going Uptown]
Bobby: I'll be damned!
Rafferty: Couldn't you put that another way?

If you're an alum of North Miami Senior High...

... you might enjoy the location, as it was filmed there! If I remember correctly, the film was shot over the summer of 1984 at the school. Noticeable is part of the main hallway, one of the classrooms in the main hallway near the east entrance (the few with windows - most of the remaining classrooms had them removed) and the dreaded cafeteria. In the background there's familiar posters and signs from the era: the "SKATEBOARDING USA" sign honors Mr. David Hudak, one of the school's English teachers and the 'Pioneer Regiment' is the name of the school marching band. Contrary to popular belief, the school wasn't painted pink for the film, it was done afterward.
