> [@](#): > > Lethal Weapon 3 has the line "Close is a lingerie shop without a front window. " It is never explained. As I recall, it was another case of a cut scene. There had originally been a scene where a lingerie shop was being used as a front for drug dealing. Rene Russo’s character realized it wasn’t a real store because she said all real lingerie shops have a front window display. ---

Very minor point, but in The Breakfast Club, I never understood what exactly Bender meant when he gave his sunglasses to the nerdy guy and said, “For better hallway vision” right before the vice principal hauls him off to the closet. ETA: For that matter, why was the movie entitled “The Breakfast Club”? ---

> [@Koxinga](#): > > Very minor point, but in The Breakfast Club, I never understood what exactly Bender meant when he gave his sunglasses to the nerdy guy and said, “For better hallway vision” right before the vice principal hauls him off to the closet. I thought it was because he took them down a hall that ended with them being trapped by the teacher. If he had listened to Bender, they would have gone the other way and escaped unnoticed back to the library. As it was, Bender had to distract him to let the others escape. ---

> [@Alessan](#): > > [You know you want it.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6i2WRreARo) I was expecting this to be all over the place in here. Most of the movie triggers the WTF reaction. Hilarious though, if you’re not watching it for the drama ---

> [@Skammer](#): > > I just read an explanation for this one, in _Ferris Beuler’s Day Off_. Near the end of the movie, Ferris is recounting for Cameron all the amazing things they did/saw that day, and includes “we ate pancreas..”. Also from _Ferris_, later in the movie: Mrs. Bueller: I just picked up Jeannie at the police station! She got a speeding ticket, another speeding ticket, and I lost the Vermont deal because of her! Mr. Bueller: I think we should shoot her. … WTF. ---

If he had listened to Bender, they would have gone the other way and escaped unnoticed back to the library. As it was, Bender had to distract him to let the others escape. I thought because Bender had now turned the nerd into a reefer addict and knew he’d need sunglasses to cover up the redeyes at school. ---

The only one I can think of that hasn’t been mentioned is from _Pulp Fiction_ when Mia says to Vincent “An Elvis man should love this.” I remember that being a WTF moment when I saw it in the theater. It’s a reference to a deleted scene where Mia claims that everyone can be classified as either an Elvis person or a Beatles person and Vincent says he’s an Elvis. ---

That’s not a deleted scene is it? I haven’t watched the DVD extras and I know that scene. ---

> [@garygnu](#): > > [Here is the deleted Goonies octopus scene](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLqpxpvgVsg). Yeah, it’s **really** cheesy, and the animatronic octopus is horrible. Plus, for a film that at least _pretends_ to take place in the real world, it breaks any kind of suspended disbelief. My god that was terrible.
