Michael J. Fox has a role as a student before he was a household name.  Director Mark L. Lester later made "Class of 1999", a loosely-related sci-fi sequel. -Thanks to Neil LuggTom Holland co-wrote this movie. He also wrote and directed "Fright Night" (1985). Roddy McDowall also starred in that movie. Roddy McDowall is one of the few child stars who successfully mastered the transition to adult actor, and in the process, he became part of our collective film memory. Born in England, McDowall had already begun to carve out a niche for himself as a child actor in British films before his family moved to America. Since then, the actor known for both his consistency and professionalism, has worked constantly in theater, film and television. McDowall has appeared in almost every major TV series of the past 20 years and well over 60 feature films, among them "Planet of The Apes" and "Fright Night". Look out for the O.J. graffiti in the bathroom scene... premonitions anyone???

 Featured Movie Location: Lincoln HighWanna see the real life filming location used for Lincoln High in the movie? These scenes were actually shot at Central Tech High School, located at Harbord and Bathurst in Toronto, ON, Canada.

[Thanks to Chris Tennant] Can you help? Do you know any of the Toronto, ON, Canada (or any other) filming locations used for Class of 1984? [Please send them in] | |||||||||||||||||||||||

The opening song, "I Am The Future", is by none other than Alice Cooper. Other songs were contributed by Bands like "Fear". "Stegman's Concerto" was performed by Timothy Van Patten himself! The theme song "I Am the Future" by Alice Cooper, can be found on his 1982 album "Zipper Catches Skin" and on the box set "The Life and Crimes of Alice Cooper." [Thanks to Brad Duren] A popular band called Teenage Head appears in the film. They are from Hamilton, ON and play "Ain't Got No Sense" and "Little Boxes". I don't believe there is a soundtrack to this movie but the Teenage Head songs are the same as on their S/T LP (1979) which was rereleased in 1996 on CD/LP by Other Peoples Music. [Thanks to Derek Keenan] We don't know if a soundtrack album was ever released... Can anyone help? The title song was written and recorded by Alice Cooper and appears on his album zipper Catches Skin; the track is titled "I am the future". -Thanks to TimThe band playing in the club scene is Canadian Punk Rock legends 'Teenage Head', they are performing the song "Ain't got no sense". -Thanks to Mark MirelesFunnily enough, the Tchaikovsky music played by the orchestra during the last scenes/killing of Stegman is the same "theme" song that was used for the first two Bad News Bears movies. -Thanks to Daniel G.
