If that suit and coat were in the trunk of the Ferrari, then they ended up sitting in a ditch in Cameron's backyard, because we never see Ferris bringing anything home at the end of his adventure. We've already determined that Ferris and his friends are pretty adept at packing a lot of action into a short timeframe.
But unless this film included a time machine scene that was left on the cutting room floor, there's really no accounting for how they managed this next feat. Early in the movie, Ferris and Cameron make their phony phone call to Ed Rooney and come to a disagreement about how to handle picking up Sloane at school. To Ferris' dismay, Cameron as Sloane's dad blurts out that Mr. Rooney should have Sloane outside the school in ten minutes, and that Mr.
Rooney better be standing there with her. This leads to a spat: Ferris kicks Cameron, Cameron storms off, Ferris delivers an emotional apology, and the two are chums again. They then travel all the way back to Cameron's house, where Ferris convinces Cameron to "borrow" Cameron's dad's vintage Ferrari. They secure the vehicle and travel all the way back to Shermer High, just as Mr.
Rooney and Sloane emerge. We may not know all that much about Cameron's elusive and wealthy parents, but the one thing we do learn is that Cameron's dad loves his prized collection of vintage cars — maybe even more than he loves his own family. So if a wealthy man cherishes his car collection that much, it would only stand to reason that he'd keep it on lockdown. You'd expect pretty tight security in the museum-like house where the Fryes live. Except Cameron's dad has housed his car collection in an unlocked garage, with giant, completely see-through glass walls.
Oh, and he also left the keys in the ignition. Kind of makes you wonder why Cameron doesn't just say the garage was broken into instead of admitting he trashed the car himself. Here's another reason that there must have been a time machine in Ferris' bedroom along with the rest of his gear — or at the very least a transporter whisking the gang where they needed to be throughout their eight hours of hijinks.
We know Sloane and Cameron weren't privy to Ferris' elaborate plan to bust Sloane out of school. Yet part of the plan hinged on Cameron's answering machine playing an outgoing message that told callers they'd reached Coughlin Brothers Mortuary — the same funeral home where Sloane's answering machine said the family could be found during her grandmother's services.
But when did Cameron and Sloane record those messages? Earlier in the day, before they knew the plan? Was it a lightning fast stop at the Frye and Peterson homes while the teens jetted off to the city? Even worse, what happens when other people call Sloane's number Sloane Peterson was the kind of '80s movie girlfriend that made girls wish they had that fringed leather jacket — and made boys wish they had a girlfriend with a British accent who went swimming in a silk negligee.
But there are a couple of things about her that might leave you scratching your head when you watch the film as an adult. The biggest mystery? How seamlessly she goes from utter terror that Ferris' dad might spot her with the crew on the taxi line at Chez Quis to nonchalance about making kissy faces to Mr.
Bueller just a few minutes later from the backseat of the taxi cab. Sure, she has those Ray-Ban sunglasses on as a brilliant disguise, but even perpetually oblivious Mr. Bueller must recognize his son's serious girlfriend. Considering Ferris proposed to Sloane back at the Stock Exchange, things might get pretty awkward at the wedding.
For starters, she's waaayyy too vindictive seriously, who cuts class just to get their sibling in trouble? Even worse, she yells "you speak-a the English? Yeesh, these Bueller brats! This is how we feel whenever Ferris goes into one of his "But I wanted a car!
It should be. It was like the only funny thing to be found online between and Literally too cool for school. Sure, he kinda leers at Simone at one point, and he seemingly has problems recognizing his own son hiding in plain sight, but Ferris is relatively level-headed for a middle-aged father of two spoiled scamps. If you don't think Tom's cool, might we suggest wrapping a hot towel around your head, and then maybe having some soup?
Neither of the Bueller folks seem too plugged-in when it comes to their kids' lives, which may explain why their children are such ungrateful little shits.
But working parenthood is pretty much the toughest gig of all time, and considering Katie doesn't lose her cool when the Vermont deal goes sour—and seeing how genuinely sweet she is toward Ferris when she thinks he's sick—we're gonna cut her some cool-mom slack.
Ooof, this scene : So saccharine. So, you know, deep , in that high-school senior-paper way. And yet it's impossible not to get the slightest bit sniffly while watching it, as you think of that brief period in your life in which your troubles were still solvable, your parents were still heroic, and your friends were still within arm's reach. Oh, geez. Look at what I've done! I've become a complete wreck. But a cool wreck, maybe? Ohhhhhhhhhh, yeeeeaaaahhhhh.

Sure, he may drone on a bit, but he's in the movie for barely twenty seconds, and yet has one of the most oft-quoted lines of the '80s. Could that be any When you rewatch the movie now, it seems like even she's kind of leery of him, in a "Okay, man-child, this was fun, and thanks for getting me out of school, but the grown-up world awaits.
Is it also one of the giddiest, fun-stupidest sequences of the last three decades? Yup, and it's all thanks to these super-cool dancers, who show up from out of nowhere and strut their stuff with so much style, the coolness actually seeps onto the steps, making it a bit of a safety hazard. Be still our Rooney-ruing heart! It's like she stepped out of the screen from Liquid Sky just so she could head straight to a showing of The Hunger. Penetrating self-doubt? Cameron's got it! Well-articulated alienation?
That too. Lovelorn mawkishness? Hoo boy, yes! And yet Cameron never feels like a drag nor a dip, and of all the film's characters, he undergoes the most radical self-transformation by killing his dad's car and discovering his own self-worth. Plus, he gets to call his principal an asshole, which is pretty much every high-schooler's dream.
Pardon our French, but Cameron's cool—even cooler than his titular pal. Who doesn't love Grace?
