glad to see it does indeed have all the dvd extras so thats enough for me to upgrade. :P

its cool that they kept the "video" footage from the home video sequence of the film interruption. but it would have been cool to have both versions of the movie through seamless branching or something. granted that sequence is literally the only difference so it might seem pointless but yeah...i woulda like that.

Can't wait to own this. Loved it as a kid. Agreed with Bouncy that branching would have been cool.

i know it's odd, but i really prefer this one to the original.

Not odd at all. There are quite a few of us. I liked the original but love the sequel. It just went with the zany comedy and I thought it did it quite well.

PHOEBE CATES Mmmmmmmmmmmm

I've never got the male devotion to Phoebe Cates. Sure she is cute, but beyond that she has never been near the top of my list for hot actresses. And I have seen Fast Times many times.

Yep, totally with you. This one is the classic in my eyes.

This seems like a better disc than I anticipated it to be and I'm glad both interruption sequences are included.

Phoebe was one of my boyhood dreamgirls. She will forever be that. Love her. Oh the innocent days of my youth. Everyone likes different flavors

I'm among those that prefer the sequel to the original. Such a fun movie. Will definitely pick this up on bd.

This is in so many ways a different movie than the first. I thought it was quite clever (but also quite stupid at times). The amount of shtick only sometimes was annoying, but most of the time welcome. I love the jabs at pop culture, and it was great that the humor was often self-aware. While I like the first one a lot and find this one enjoyable, I cannot pick one over the other simply because they feel like two different movies. Either way, if you haven't seen both, you should.
