  • Binks’s Vermont fantasy rests on a poster and heat avoidance; Hot Dog…The Movie is offered as an imagined influence.
  • Shooting at Billie Jean amid children for a house down payment is condemned; station wagons fishtailing reflect worse car handling, though it improved chases.
  • Invincible is jokingly proposed for fewer or many more repetitions, and an acoustic version for a love scene is imagined.
  • The report that Pat Benatar disliked the film is questioned despite her performing the song; a settle-down response is proposed.
  • The way adults speak to Billie Jean is recalled as an earlier criticism.
  • A reported reshoot wig is criticized for obvious hair discontinuity, especially given the earlier concern over her haircut.
