God, I totally fell hard for Elisabeth Shue in this


She was so totally gorgeous and sweet in this. It always bugged me how the producers were trying to "hide the goods" so to speak - they always had her wearing extra layers so her amazing chest wouldn't distract us from the plot. I followed her career forever after this.

Too bad she ended up married to Costanza.

Exactly. Therefore, I don't consider that canon. Well, my penis doesn't, anyway.

I loved her, but hate how they basterize her character in the sequel by saying she was using Daniel to get a college guy and to get her ex off her back. I know it was the original ending but it would've made this film terrible in my opinion and she didn't seem that way at all.


I know, right? I thought the same thing when II started. If they wanted Daniel to go single for his trip to Okinawa, why not have them break up after her dad was (say) transferred and moved Ali's family to (wait for it)..... New Jersey?

Having her dump Daniel at the prom for a college guy was so out of character for what we saw for the whole first film. Dumb writing that left a real bad taste.

You can't trust Daniel La Russo. He lied repeatedly through the films. Perhaps he did something to ruin the relationship, and he made up that story to save face in front of Miyagi.

She looked great and like a real person. So many actresses today are 20 pounds under weight and look like dry leather from all the tanning.

She has always been hot.

She's the reason I watch this movie so frequently. You can see her nipping in the scene where Daniel is being chased by Johnny's bros during the Halloween dance.

Utah! Get me two.

Emotions don't change, people do, remember that.

I actually liked her friend a lot better, she was a lot cuter, the dark haired girl named Susie.

Me too. Even though her look in this movie is dated now, rewatching it recently brought back memories of how she was practically my first crush as a kid. And seeing her first date with Daniel became my sort of idealized expectation of what my first girlfriend would be like.

Yeah, she was cute too, although I didn't like her attitude. Alli was sweeter.

Me too. They dressed her preppy, which for the times meant sweaters. She looks like a rich girl.

Couldn't agree with you peeps any more. She's so cute in this movie, that smile that personality that loyalty and yes that body to boot.
