I've lost track of the number of times I've watched 40 seconds of that movie.

Met Judge Reinhold and his kind and beautiful wife Amy - and he told me that the book was in galley form when they were working on the A. Heckerling film... and the story had two characters that were Spicolli-like but they ended up as the single character in the film.

Cameron Crowe, incidentally, attended a high school and pretended to be a student at about age 19 and only the principal of the school agreed and was in on this event; this led to the story and the script. HEART member Nancy Wilson (married for a good number of years to screenwriter/filmmaker Crowe) "really loved Cameron Crowe, she really did like him" those years ago.

Nancy Wilson has a cameo in the scene in the car, right next to the Reinhold is in when he has the "pirate hat" and tosses a delivery cartoon of food from the window!
