It's been a while since I've seen that movie, but I don't recognize any of the actors or characters from that movie. Ben Stein said this was a sequel to it though.
Cameron Crowe wrote this as a sequel to fast times, but he wasn't able to resign any of the actors from the first movie. So, new actors were cast and the script was tweaked a little bit so it was no longer a direct sequel to fast times.
It's easy to figure out who was suppose to be who in this movie.
Jeff Spicoli = Tom Drake
Stacy Hamilton = Anita
Linda Barrett = Eileen
Mark Ratner = Bill Conrad
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
It's unbelievable to me that they never did make a sequel to such a culturally significant and iconic film but I guess it would be terribly difficult to get such an amazing cast all back together for a sequel. They should do a reunion- Fast Times- 35th high school reunion...1982-2017 such a great cast...but sadly no Mr. Hand or the pizza delivery guy (RIP Taylor Negron)
