Since it’s been bumped anyways, I’ll mention my pet theory: Very Bad Things is an alt-future sequel to Heathers, in which JD survives the ending of Heathers, and takes on a new identity. There’s even a call back: When Slater’s character is explaining how they’ll sneak a dead body out of the hotel, he’s so on the ball with the details, one of the guys asks him, “Have you done this before?”
I remember watching Heathers at a friend’s house around 1990-1991. During the movie his mother kept telling us what a sick movie it was and she shouldn’t be allowing us to watch it. She let us finish it. Now his father made us turn The Kentucky Fried movie off.
But there was the opportunity to kill 50, maybe 60 people!
