Ferris Bueller Frequently Asked Questions

Answer: All of these are correct.

Cameron's transformation occurred when he reached the point of self-loathing ("I put up with everything. My old man pushes me around. I never say anything.") At the same time the Cameron leopard was changing his spots, Ferris surprised his friend by volunteering to take the blame for the car's demise and thus the considerable grief that Morris Frye was expected to dish out. Maybe Cameron didn't know that inside Ferris' self-centered invincibility beat the heart of a true friend, but I suspect the viewers knew it all along.

They used three different versions of the Ferrari in this film. The one that was destroyed was a plastic or fiberglass kit-car, thank goodness!

Answer: his wallet

While leaving the Bueller's home, Rooney drops his wallet on the kitchen floor. Towards the end, Jeannie returns it by throwing it past Rooney to the family dog. His shoe got stuck in the mud outside the home, not in the kitchen.

Answer: His sister

She threw Mr. Rooney's wallet and slammed the door in his face.

Answer: Go Home Go

At the end of Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the camera pans to Ferris himself, who breaks the fourth wall and directly addresses the audience with the line "You're still here? It's over! Go home. Go!" While this line is often misquoted as simply "Go home", it's clear that Ferris is imploring the audience to leave the cinema and continue on with their own lives, just as he has spent his day doing. This line perfectly encapsulates the rebellious spirit at the heart of the movie, which encourages viewers to break free from their own boring routines and live their lives to the fullest. It's a fitting and memorable conclusion to one of the most iconic films of the 1980s, and a reminder to us all to make the most of every moment.

Answer: parking lot attendant

He says this when Ferris asks him if he speaks English.

Answer: 5

They almost met two times at Chez Quis: once in the men's room, the other in front of the restaurant while waiting for a taxi. The third time they were in taxis beside each other in a traffic jam. Not that his dad could see him, but he was in the parade and his dad could have looked out the window. The final time, Ferris was running beside his dad's car on the way home. That makes five times in total.

Answer: Charlie Sheen

Married the very plastic Denise Richards in June 2002.

Immediately following this scene, the camera focuses on Jeannie. Get it?

Answer: car

Answer: running the parked car in reverse

They attempted unsuccessfully to reverse the miles by running the car in reverse. They parked it in the glass garage and placed a cement block on the gas pedal. Cameron later kicked the car off the jack and out the glass wall.

Answer: British

British flag, British girlfriend, quoting John Lennon, are we noticing a theme here?

Answer: "It's over. Go home--go."

When Ferris pulls Cameron out of the pool, Cameron says, 'Ferris Bueller, you're my hero.' Although 'Save Ferris' was seen throughout the movie, it was not the last line. After Ferris's parents leave his room, he speaks to the audience about living life to the fullest. Many of you may have thought this was the correct answer, but due to John Hughes brilliant directing, he continues the movie while the credits are running, leaving the audience in their seats waiting to see what happens. He gets us to stay there until Ferris comes back and tells us to go home.
