Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesAccording to Savage Steve Holland, the film is mostly autobiographical. He was suicidal when his high school girlfriend left him for the captain of the ski team. Following the film's release, his ex-girlfriend contacted him to apologise.
- GaffesAt the final race, the race official signals Lane to go first. The official then sends Roy 5 seconds later, thus suggesting that the race is based on time. Lane beats Roy by only a fraction of a second. Therefore, Roy had the better time and should have won the race.
- Crédits fousThe last line of the credits reads The film's over... you can go now.
- Versions alternativesNetwork TV/HBO versions include two additional shots at the end of the film, one being a wide angle shot of the baseball stadium, and the other being a close up shot of Monique and Lane kissing together. Because of the deletion of these shots, the music and sound effects on the current video release are not synchronized with the picture.

Commentaire à la une
Better Off Dead is a childhood favorite that I still enjoy as an adult. Yes, the filmmaking is a little amateurish, but that's part of the charm. This movie has so many quotable quotes ("I want my two dollars!" "Gee, I'm really sorry your mom blew up, Ricky.") and moments that make me smirk. I don't think they'd ever make a movie like this these days, so I'm glad they did in the 80s.
