Robert Downey Jr.?


I've watched this movie several times and still can't spot him. Where's he at in this film? On the back of the VHS box it has him listed as being in the movie and I can't even spot him once!

when Jill is dancing with her date at the prom (that she doesn't want to be with,) there's a couple dancing behind them, in that shot. the couple is Robert Downey Jr and some girl.

he's also in Joey D's cocktail lounge after the prom, before Jody cuts herself.
he actually has some lines, i think that his character was talking to Jill's date about his fake id.

WOW! That's it and they put his name on the back of the box????

reply

LOL I couldn't pick him out either. They should have put Matthew Modine's name on the back of the box instead of Robert Downey Jr.'s, as he (Modine) had a few good scenes with Rosanna Arquette.

Where the hell IS Robert Downey Jr. in this movie? I can't spot him

reply

He's the prom date of one of Jill's friends.

reply

you know what, i still can't spot him. I'll take your word for it. Lol, can't believe they listed him as being in the movie, does he even have any lines?

reply

Sure, he has a couple of lines. He's at the table in the bar after the dance where Jill and her underage friends are served alcohol. Actually, Jill is the designated driver, so she orders a Tab. Robert Downey jr is very young in this, so he might be hard for you to recognize if you are used to seeing him as a grown man. Once Jodie goes into the ladies' room in the bar and cuts herself with the broken mirror, you don't see Robert again.

He's also shown dancing at the prom before the bar scene, as someone pointed out. But no lines there.

reply

ok I'm going to check that scene out. I remember it, but i definitely don't remember him in it or any spoken words from him but i'll give it a look.

reply

ok now I've finally seen him in it, and now i know I'm not nuts for missing him in it all these years! lol....

in the dance scene, all you see is the back of his head and a very,, very, very brief look at part of his face.
and in the bar scene he's at the end of the table partially obscured by another person and he mumbles one barely audible line about his id.....and thats it!
But you are right, that is him for sure. Good look.
