Song Trivia In the original release of Weird Science in the '80s, the mall scene where Max (Robert Rusler) and Ian (Robert Downey, Jr.) spot Lisa (Kelly LeBrock) for the first time going up the escalator had Van Halen's "(Oh) Pretty Woman" playing. However, on the video/DVD release, it's replaced by Oingo Boingo's "Weird Science." -Thanks to Dave Wilson
