Tori Amos originally auditioned for the part of Beverly Switzler. You have to ask yourself what the movie would have been like if she had played Beverly.
Thanks to Leigh Barrett
Although she's no Tori Amos in the singing department, Lea Thompson held her own doing her own singing as Beverly for the "Cherry Bomb" performances in the film. She was insecure at first, but when she saw that Thomas Dolby was more insecure than she was, she went for it!
Director/co-scriptwriter Willard Huyck and producer/co-scripwriter Gloria Katz were planning to make a sequel -- until they saw the box office takings for "Howard the Duck."
