- Blondie receives an early affirmative Apex suggestion in the discussion of the hit song.
- Gere is initially rejected here in favor of An Officer and a Gentleman.
- Gere is rejected here in favor of An Officer and a Gentleman, with 1990’s Pretty Woman and Internal Affairs another possible peak.
- Hutton is rejected here in favor of her 1970s modeling peak; Once Bitten is jokingly dismissed.
- Gigolos receive an affirmative choice, with Todd Parker’s uncertain status and the Showtime reality series raised as alternatives.
- Schrader is a probable affirmative choice because this is his biggest hit despite other more celebrated work.
- Blondie’s general period receives agreement after comparing Heart of Glass, Call Me, The Tide Is High and Rapture; a more specific preference chooses the preceding October’s Saturday Night Live appearance with Steve Martin.
- Bill Duke is rejected for Apex here.
- Gravity boots receive an affirmative choice despite their apparent danger.
- Malibu is considered but left unresolved because too little of the film is set there; Heat and The Big Lebowski are comparisons.
- The synthesizer-score era is placed at Risky Business rather than this film.
- Probe is floated without a settled answer, with uncertainty about whether it was a real bar.
- Male frontal/side nudity is rejected here in favor of Affleck in Gone Girl.
- Armani is considered a possible peak or springboard, but a 1990 s peak is also suggested without resolution.
- K Callan is rejected here in favor of Fast Break, where her teacher becomes a supporter of the basketball program.
