Dinger's broken leg


why? It's almost like he had one in real life, and they decided to write it in, but I also noticed that scars and bandages were a theme in the movie, because at some point all the main characters had them. Just curious if anyone knows the scoop.

It was for real!
It seems that right before production began, Corey's mom hit him with the car! It was an accident, of course...but that is what happened. The writers made some last minute changes to the script. Even in the movie, Dinger says that his mom hit him with the car, inside joke since that is really what happened! :)

thanks misty!

NO PROBLEM!

I bet corey was happy that it happened.

Yes, most people are happy to be hit by cars and have bones broken....???????

I thought we was teaching his mom how to ride a motorbike, and she ran them into a wall?

"I bet corey was happy that it happened." - Care to elaborate? Seems like a bit of an odd theory.

He was probably happy since he could get some kind of prescription medication.LOL



Huh?

reply

This was BEFORE he became addicted to pills and that's not funny, regardless. Making light of an addiction... and I'm pretty sure that NO ONE would find it funny to be in an accident where you and your Mom are hurt.

reply

It was absolutely a Vespa accident caused by Judy (Haims Mom) prior to shooting,

The broken leg was written into the script.


As for prescriptions drugs. this WAS the start of Haims destruction.

Corey Feldman discusses it in his AutoBio 'Coregraphy'.

Yeah, it's loads of fun!
(I sustained a broken leg after being hit by a car when I was 14)

I didn't know that. If it's true I guess it makes sense. Why would they write a character to be hobbling around the whole movie. I figured it was a character trait the wanted him to have.

nerp! he was teaching her how to drive his motorcycle and she missed a turn. they crashed and she broke his nose.



Reading the paper can really be depressing. Mr. Dithers fired Dagwood again.

This is actually what happened.

It's a sad thing that your adventures have ended here
