With the obvious aging of the cast, they should have had this take place in 1991, not 1987. That way, they could still use a Queen song instead of the one from Highlander--Show Must Go On, which I think would be more of a fitting song.
Yeeeeaaaah, that's not what "Hungry Like the Wolf" means, in that context
I hope not. Gay characters get killed way too often in too much media.
I forgot how long ago that was released. Thought it was later. I saw them at The Concert Hall, in Toronto, the summer of '82. Something happened that could have been right out of a show like "Stranger Things." A group of girls who had come to the concert from Buffalo, NY, created a "flying wedge", with one of them in the centre, and forced their way to the stage so they could throw a rose to Simon Le Bon. It was truly surreal.
Yeah, we saw how well that worked out for Eddie.
The thing with Eddie though, is that they had no idea he would become so beloved. I recall an interview where the creators regretted having so little screen with between Eddie and Chrissy (the cheerleader). They filmed those scenes at the end and didn't realize how much chemistry they had. A lost opportunity for that arc to develop.
I've never worked in television or movies, but it always amazes me when that stuff isn't picked up on set, since with Eddie, the audience pretty much loves him from the second time he appears and it's clear he's not the jerk people say he is.
With the way that shooting and editing works, you never really know until it's all in the can. They generally shoot all the scenes that take place in one location all at once. So all the mall scenes at once, all the Upside-Down scenes at once, and so on. Then they get cut into the appropriate spots later on. So you aren't actually seeing anything in context of the overall story.
I guess, but people working in theatrical productions can see when there's chemistry and charisma. They also often rehearse out of order and, for much of the time, without costuming, make-up or sets.
