Weird Science (M) Presented in 35mm
Weird Science at Revival House Perth
Get ready for the ultimate 80s teen fantasy! John Hughes' wild 1985 sci-fi comedy follows nerdy best friends Gary (Anthony Michael Hall) and Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell-Smith) as they use Gary's computer to create their dream woman. What starts as teenage wish fulfillment becomes reality when their digital creation materializes as Lisa (Kelly LeBrock), a sophisticated and magical woman who turns their lives upside down.
Lisa doesn't just fulfill their fantasies - she becomes their guide to confidence, helping the awkward teens stand up to bullies, impress girls, and discover their own potential. But when Lisa's powers spiral out of control, turning their house into a supernatural party zone complete with bikers and military chaos, the boys learn that getting everything you want isn't always what you expect.
Hughes brings his signature blend of teen comedy and heartfelt coming-of-age storytelling to this high-concept adventure. With its iconic 80s soundtrack, outrageous special effects, and Bill Paxton's memorable performance as the bullying older brother Chet, Weird Science captures the decade's fascination with technology and teenage dreams.
