    • Trivia
      After seeing Aidan Quinn in this film, director Martin Scorsese hired him to play the lead central role of Jesus in the original Paramount Pictures development of The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) (which later got canceled). Quinn has said: "Marty quite liked Reckless (1984). I mean, he said, 'I hate this kind of movie,' but he thought Jamie Foley did a real good job for a first try".
    • Quotes

      Tracy Prescott: He's all upset and it's probably my fault.

      Johnny Rourke: Well, I'm pretty fuckin' upset and it's definitely your fault.

    We're the kids of America whoa whoa
    I love this movie when I saw it on cable back in 1985. It was dealt with normal suburban life rather than these kids had money and felt like they were snobs. I saw it as Randy had this hot chick Tracey and Tracey wanted something else - Johnny Rourke. I loved the soundtrack and I wish some of the songs were released. I do remember INXS, Kim Wilde and Romeo Void (who can ever forget that dance scene between Johnny and Tracey, making Randy so mad that he stopped dancing with Mary Pat). This was good that I myself was in high school that I saw this film and I thought it was charming. I liked that Tracey's brother actually liked Johnny, while Randy and Tracey's friends (Kathy, Mary Pat and Karen) did not like him. I also like the cast of the film.
