In the movie, Ricky and Julian get teased by some guy calling them Ravene and Patrick Swayze. Espesially Ricky gets teased. RAVENE, REVINE, RAVIENE....no idea how to spell it....anyhow, who is RAVENE? Is it a known caracter from a movie or cartoon? I dont get it. Can someone explain. Im a ignorant white trailer trash punk from Norway, so we dont get all the American "TV/Movie jokes"
shareRaveen is a hypnotist/illusionist/entertainer who toured Canada a lot I don't know if he still does, anyway he looks a lot like ricky. More info on him here:

Actually tft-3 it's a Canadian show, so the jokes are usually Canadian. Reveen is a hypnotist I think originally hailing from Australia, who has done A LOT of performances in Canada...if you go to google or yahoo type in Peter Reveen and do image search, you can see a pictures of Reveen.
shareThere's also the connection that Cory or Trever mentions of him looking like a comic book character because of his side-burns, that being Wolverine, who is of Canadian origin.
shareRevene is an Australian mentalist who used to visit the Halifax area regularly and was very popular. He retired, but has recently been here again. The reference is to the similarity of his and Ricky's Wolfman hair style.
