User Reviews

"The Punch" has nothing on this scene!

Best part, when Fiona goes to Parker's house with her demo tape, and Parker is sleeping. He gets out of bed in his long johns, puts on jeans and goes on the porch. He lifts up his shirt and pulls up his zipper. Sorry guys. That's waaaaaaay better than the punch.

Someone previously posted he was glad Dylan didn't take off his clothes during the lake scene. I, on the other hand, was extremely disappointed.

I did read in a book that there was a nude Dylan scene that was deleted from the movie. It was dropped before the film was sold to Lorimar. It didn't show much but the side of him rolling around in bed with Fiona. Would have liked to have seen that too.

Since I thought Bob was smokin' hot in 1986/7, I feel this movie is better than adult entertainment. lol Now who owned that before Lorimar bought it? Maybe they have that "deleted scene."
