Movie Review - I Wouldn't Recast a Single Part

"I wouldn't recast a single part. I would like to see Tom Cruise play... Estebes," he said. "They got Estebes right, as close as you could get him to looking like a high school wrestler." Filming took place at Maine North High School in the Plains, Illinois, which had already closed down. The same setting was used for the interior scenes of first Bueller's Day off the high school. Hugh shot the two films concurrently to save time and money.
