Better Off Dead Utard question

[Max Gosey]

I could swear that the "K12" was a run at the Bird, especially since at the very end, when Cusack wins the race and is all up on Monique, there is a lift that I could swear says "Mid Gad" in the background (it's a very brief glimpse). The scenery looks much like LCC. There was no listing in the credits or on IMDB of where the movie was filmed. Can any Utards more familiar with the area (and the movie) than I am confirm the Bird as the site for the flick? Just curious... Thanks.

I believe its Mammy....that's the whole idea: he lives in CA, scores the french babe after shredding the K12, hops in his sweet Camero and guns it doen to LA in Dodger Stadium for the final shot of the pic....so hot.

Snowbird yes, Great Scott in the Cirque. If something gets in your way, turn or just straight run the biatch!

[Max Gosey]

SUPPOSED to be Mammoth, right? I figured that much. Less likely to be a Dodgers fan in SLC than in SoCal...

Cool movie, though. Very funny. Cusack is a cool dude.

I saw that years ago & laughed when I saw mid gad as well!

the high school dance scene/in front of the school scene was filmed less than a mile from my house...went by there the other day and was laughing thinking about it!

I dunno... I'm no baseball fan, but they always say that Dodger Stadium is one of the few places where there's often as many fans for the visitors as there are for the home team. A Dodger fan in SLC may be easier to spot then one in L.A.

Still, nothing beats Hot Dog, the Movie.

Dont Forget that Lane Meyer drives off in that bitchen Camaro with his ski boots on...

yes that was the old Gad lift before Gadzoom.

and if you watch it again, look closely, at the very very end, because they do mention UT in the credits.

This is a movie every Magnion should own

[Lane Meyer]

Hell yeah I drove off in my camaro with my boots on! All the way into the field at Dod-jer Stadiyummm! (Monique)

And lemme tell you, Language Lessons are WHERE IT'S AT!

(Max - it was both Alta and Snowbird, supposed to be Mammoth, but modeled after KT-22 here at Squaw).

"Riiccckkkkkkyyyyyyyyyyyy"

Ricky (to LM) "Come Monique, mother is waiting. One does not want to disappoint mother"...

my lil sis and I watch that movie every xmas together, since we were teenagers, has become a tradition in our house....so funny...

According to imdb the Cusack character is named Lane Myer, so obviously our Lane Meyer is a different person entirely.

This thread caused me to bump "Better Off Dead" to near the top of my Netflix queue, so thanks Max, et al!

Oh....my...God....

all these years, I've been impersonating the wrong character. My life is a meaningless waste of breaths. I better go jump off a bridge or something...

[Max Gosey]

Well at least no one can call you unoriginal now...

You are your own boss, LM. Cusack ain't got nothin on ya!

why bother making the effort to find a bridge, just go to the garage. there you can find the tools for incineration, hanging, and carbon monoxide poisioning.

Good luck.
