 Who hasn't dreamed of having a day off and doing whatever the hell you want? Well, it's been 30 years since Ferris Bueller did just that. What's up nerds, I'm Ryan and this is the facts you didn't know about Ferris Bueller's day off. Before we begin, we'd love it if you can hit that like button and if we give you a fact that you didn't know about, make sure you hit that subscribe. So much of what actually makes the movie so iconic wasn't actually even in the script. Director John Hughes wanted to have a lot of realism in his movies. He wanted to give teenagers a real voice and allow a lot of the actors freedom to play around. This explains why it only took John Hughes six days to write the entire movie. I've been alive for 32 years and I've achieved nothing. And this guy writes one of the greatest movies of all time in six days. Damn it. This is the reason why actor Ben Stein is so good at being boring as hell. It's because he was actually an economics teacher before the film and John Hughes instead of scripting the scene just told Ben to actually try and teach the kids. So listen up. You might actually learn something. I bet you thought Kevin Smith or maybe even Marvel came up with a whole cinematic universe thing. No, that was actually John Hughes. He was the king of connecting up his films. Ferris's school, Sherma High School, is the exact same school that all the students from the breakfast club 16 candles and even weird science went to. While a sequel to Ferris Bueller's Day Off has been in the works for years, Matthew Broderick refuses to take part. He knows that the film is timeless and doing another one could tarnish the original. Plus the fact that John Hughes unfortunately passed away a few years ago means that they would have to find a new writer and director. And we know how that turned out in the Ferris Bueller TV series. I'm Ferris Bueller and I've never changed mine. Once they put me up on the big screen it was out of the question. But come on. Matthew Broderick as me? No way. He's too white bread. This is television. This is real. Nope. No, no, no it isn't. Wait a second. You didn't know there was a Ferris Bueller TV series? Well, that's probably because it was terrible in the last 13 episodes but it did give us Jennifer Anderson. So I guess we can thank it for something. Ferris and Jeannie are brother and sister in the film. But I bet you didn't know they were dating in real life. Super weird. Alright, yeah, maybe you did know that. But did you know a year after the film's release the pair were the cause of a fatal car accident? Yeah, Matthew Broderick was facing up to five years in prison with the charge of causing death by dangerous driving for driving head-on into a car and island. But this was later reduced to just literally a slap on the wrist and a fine of $175. Somebody tell me that fame didn't have anything to do with that one. Speaking of siblings, this one's my own theory but I'm rolling with it. Ferris doesn't just have one sibling but three. Another younger sister and a brother that were cut from the film. Check this out. That's a family photo in Ferris's dad's office. While it might be hard to make out you can clearly see two younger children with the parents and Ferris and Genie in the back. What? You want even more evidence? We'll check out the fridge. That's children's art right there. There's no way that Genie or Ferris had drawn that. So where are the kids? Who knows? Maybe they had their day off too. So, did you learn something? If so, make sure you hit that subscribe button and if you can, give us a like because that helps us so much growing this channel.
