Product Description

Risky Business 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition (DVD)

“A classic American comedy” (Stephen Schaefer, US Magazine) celebrates its enduring 25-years-young appeal. As a straight-arrow son (left home alone while his parents are away) who takes a walk on the wild side, Tom Cruise soared to stardom. Rebecca De Mornay makes a dynamic movie debut as a liberated call girl crossing his path. They and the pitch-perfect script and direction by Paul Brickman make Risky Business “a first-class affair” (People).

Saw this when I was 18 at the theater. Thought it’d be fun to revisit. Safe to say I’ve outgrown the genre. But it was fun to rewatch and remember that night in the 80’s

What can I say about the film that made Tom Cruise a star and brought Bob Seeger back to the forefront of Rock n' Roll History by a silly lip-sinking impression and dance in one's underwear? This became the protoypical teenage angst movie with a genuine happy ending (Rebecca De Mornay, several years Tom's senior, became his real life lover during the filming) Add a pulse quickening musical score (an almost haunting techno creation by the Japanese Synthesist, Tangerine Dream) and an improbable plot facing most High School Seniors (can I get into college and WHERE?) Its all good fun until a chance meeting with a callgirl (De Mornay) complicates Cruise's plans with a business offer of her own. With the parents out of town for a weekend, Joel (Tom) takes the advice of one of his privileged pals ("F____" it, just do it man!), casts caution aside and goes out on a limb (actually SEVERAL limbs) and gets mixed up with a seedy pimp, a college recruiter and pretty much every teenage boy from his school.....Tom cemented his role as a tentative teen teetering on the edge of independence while trying to do the sensible thing; he is charming, vulnerable and endearing in his evolution into young adulthood. Rebecca De Mornay is perfect as the fallen angel--sexy, sweet but driven in her ambitions. This movie is an incredible look back 30 years ago when most of us were struggling with GPA's and hopes of a college education--what it delivers is an education in the risky business of finding ourselves!

While no Academy Award Winner, I'd forgotten what a great movie this is!

This was THE movie of 1983, for anyone remotely near their teenage years at the time. Has it really been nearly 30 years? It's easy to bury this in a sea of teenage coming-of-age comedies that were the rage at that time, but this one's a stand-out!

The movie that made Tom Cruise's career (well before he became a wack-a-doo tabloid-fodder Scientologist talk-show freak, LOL!). This movie was basically a "first" for several up-coming '80's actors like Bronson Pinchot ("Beverly Hills Cop"), Curtis Armstrong ("Revenge of the Nerds", "Moonlighting"), Joe Pantoliano ("The Soprano's"), in addition to the lovely Rebecca DeMornay ("Hand That Rocks the Cradle") and, of course, Cruise. The "Stars" (actually not yet quite stars), DeMornay and Cruise, deliver honest performances: you actually believe they are who they're portraying! DeMornay in particular is a standout as a gorgeous, young street-wise yet vulnerable "lady of the night".

Amazing vid and audio quality for a shoe-string budget '80's flick. I've never seen this movie look this good! The moody Tangerine Dream synth soundtrack melds well interspersed with some good 'ole Rock 'n Roll. While the cars, clothes, hairstyles and "props" may be dated, the movie has aged remarkably well. While there is a certain sense of nostalgia to the piece...for those of us who lived throught the period and were of the same age as the featured actors...you tend to forget that its 1983 and just enjoy the movie.

Lots of great movie quotes and memorable scenes abound amongst the outrageous storyline, and they throw in a bunch of extras features, like a "making of" documenatry, alternate ending, trailer, etc...all mostly in HD (except the Cruise/DeMornay Screen test, which was videotaped at the producer's house). There's also the obligatory comment track by Cruise, the producer, etc.

While clearly a reflection of the Reaganomics capitalistic mindset pervasive in the early '80's, this is a movie that, IMHO, will resonate with many generations, not just those Baby and post-Baby Boomers who saw this first run! This "adolescent" comedy is quite a bit darker and much more substantive than the typical ilk that abounded at that time.

Highly Recommmended!

Joel, Sohn reicher Eltern schrottet den Wagen seines Vaters und zieht mit dem "leichten" Mädchen Lana, während seine Eltern auf Reisen sind, lockere Geschäfte im Haus seiner Eltern auf, um die Reparatur des Wagens bezahlen zu können. Witzig, und für die Männer die traumhafte Rebecca de Mornay, für die Frauen Tom Cruise, was will man mehr.
