Visible crew/equipment: During the party, Deb and Hilly join Gary and Wyatt in the bathroom, and when the boys step into the shower enclosure and close the glass door, a crewmember's moving reflection is visible on the shower head.
Weird Science (1985)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: John Hughes
Starring: Bill Paxton, Anthony Michael Hall, Kelly LeBrock, Ilan Mitchell-Smith
Continuity mistake: When Chet gets home the morning after the big party, he does an about face at the bedroom door and starts to kick it open on one side. On the inside of the bedroom door, it shows Chet actually kicked the door in on the opposite side. (00:25:05)
Wyatt: By the way, why are we wearing bras on our heads?
Gary: It's ceremonial.
[Later, after Wyatt talks to Chet, Wyatt begins to leave the kitchen and Chet sees him wearing women's underwear.]
Chet: Like your panties.
Wyatt: [walking back into kitchen] It's a joke, Chet. Really.
Chet: No. That is not a joke. That is a severe behavioral disorder. Next thing you know you'll be wearing a bra on your head.
Trivia: The town in which Gary and Wyatt live is called Shermer. Another John Hughes reference to The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. (00:11:35 - 00:16:50)
Question: At the very end when Lisa is a gym instructor, when they pan from her feet up, on VHS and on my DVD the Rocky theme is played. But whenever I see it on cable, the Weird Science theme is played instead. Why is this?

Chosen answer: They probably only had permission to use the song at the cinema and take home releases, so when shown on broadcast TV they'd have to use another song.
