LOVE M agazine isn’t afraid to recreate iconic videos . With the best models in the biz as their stars, why should they be? But this time, they’re taking on part of cinema’s sexual canon: the topless scene from Fast Times at Ridgemont High .
The red bikini, the sprinkler, the works.
Below, the two very NSFW videos, and a point-by-point comparison. Will Alessandra Ambrosio or Phoebe Cates come out on top?
Overall Look: Fast Times . The dreamlike quality of being shot on film paired with the ’80s styling of director Amy Heckerling (who also wrote and directed Clueless ) are unbeatable.
Song Choice: Fast Times . “Boneyard” by Fink is a better listen, but “Moving in Stereo” by the Cars fits this scene like a glove.
Editing: LOVE . The original cuts back and forth between Cates and Judge Reinhold, well, pleasuring himself. The recreation cuts between Ambrosio in the pool and Ambrosio in a bathtub. It’s a no-brainer.
Water Effects : LOVE . Though the old-school quality of Fast Times works on the whole, modern cameras and color editing win out when water comes into play. (Never wanted to jump in a pool or saunter through a sprinkler more in my entire life.)
Ending: Draw. It depends on whether you prefer comedy, like the classic line, “Doesn’t anybody f*cking knock anymore?” Or drama, like when LOVE pans up to a shadowy male figure looking in on Ambrosio in the tub, changing the whole film into a stalker thriller. Is this commentary on the dehumanizing voyeurism perpetuated by these kinds of scenes? Holding a mirror up to the camera’s male gaze? You decide.
Winner: LOVE. Yes, we’re well aware of the consequences of this decision.

In the summer of 1982, a little teen comedy by the name of Fast Times at Ridgemont High came onto the scene and became one of the most iconic ’80s movies , making instant stars out of its large ensemble cast. Nearly 40 years later, Amy Heckerling’s cult classic, which was based on the real-life experiences of writer Cameron Crowe, remains just as righteous, and just as "awesome, totally awesome" as ever before.
But, as great as the movie is, some of the behind-the-scenes facts from the making of Fast Times at Ridgemont High are just as awesome, just as righteous, and just as entertaining as spotting a young Nicolas Cage flipping burgers at the local mall. Here are some of those stories.
The story of Fast Times at Ridgemont High begins in 1979 when Cameron Crowe, who was writing for Rolling Stone at time time, published a book by the same name containing observations after spending a year undercover as a high school senior. Upon the release of the film in August 1982, The Washington Post published a lengthy profile on Crowe and his year masquerading as a 17-year-old even though he was well into his 20s at the time.
Over the course of nine months, Cameron Crowe acted as if he were just any normal student with the only people in on the gag being Ridgemont High School’s principal, his homeroom teacher, and several other instructors. When it came time to write the book, Crowe left himself out of the narrative and instead focused on six major characters, which would become the basis for teens featured in the movie three years later.
Amy Heckerling would famously make her directorial debut with Fast Times at Ridgemont High , but before the young filmmaker signed on to helm the teen comedy, the whole project could have gone in a very different direction. When speaking with Variety for the film’s 35th anniversary, Cameron Crowe revealed that a Universal Pictures executive really wanted David Lynch to direct, going as far as to invite to visionary director to the studio for a meeting:
He had a very wry smile on his face as I sat talking with him. He went and read it. We met again. He was very, very sweet about it, but slightly perplexed we thought of him. He said hit was a really nice story but ‘it’s not really the kind of thing that I do, but good luck.’ He got into the white VW bug and drove off.
Okay, who doesn’t want to see a Lynchian version of Fast Times now?
A large portion of Fast Times at Ridgemont High takes place at the Ridgemont Mall, which was filmed on location at the since-remodeled Sherman Oaks Galleria in Los Angeles. Since the mall was very munch in operation at the time, production on the movie had to take place during night, as director Amy Heckerling noted in Variety’s 35th anniversary piece. Something similar had been done at the Monroeville Mall in suburban Pittsburgh for Dawn of the Dead in 1978, though Fast Times didn’t have to worry about zombies getting drunk and wrecking golf carts between takes.
Like many actors, Nicolas Cage has used a stage name for the vast majority of his career, but there was one movie early on where he went by his legal name: Nicolas Coppola. The nephew of acclaimed filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, Cage was just 17 years old when he joined the cast of Fast Times at Ridgemont High as “Brad’s Bud” at All-American Burger, and the experience, as he told The Hollywood Reporter , was enough for him to make a major change:
And I was surrounded by actors, whose names I won’t mention, who were not very open to the idea of a young guy named “Coppola” being an actor. So that movie was instrumental in me changing my name because of the kind of unfortunate responses to my last name.
In that same interview, Cage also revealed he originally auditioned for the role of Brad Hamilton (which later went to Judge Reinhold), but was rejected because his age prevented him from working long hours.
The original version of Jeff Spicoli’s dream sequence in the Fast Times at Ridgemont High book sees the resident stoner being interviewed on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson , but the scene had to be changed prior to the start of production. According to The Uncool (the official website for all things Cameron Crowe), Carson, and several other talk show hosts including David Letterman and Merv Griffin turned down the opportunity, resulting in scene being completely rewritten to the one in the final version of the movie.
There is the famous segment in Fast Times at Ridgemont High where Mike Damone (Robert Romanus) goes over his five-point plan to woo a girl to Mark “Rat” Ratner (Brian Backer) which involves playing side one of Led Zeppelin IV, only for the next scene to cut in with Rat playing Led Zeppelin ’s rocking “Kashmir” while driving Stacy Hamilton (Jennifer Jason Leigh). When speaking with the New York Daily News , Cameron Crowe explained that this wasn’t a flub in the editing process but instead something to do with the publishing rights of the album. Crowe went on to say that a decision was made to imply that Rat had messed up his big moment with his crush.
One of the hardest scenes in Fast Times at Ridgemont High to watch in a crowded room takes place when Linda Barrett (Phoebe Cates) walks in on Brad Hamilton (Judge Reinhold) pleasuring himself. And, while no full-frontal male nudity is shown, there was one unused take that writer Cameron Crowe said left studio executives laughing in shock, as he revealed in a 2017 interview on The Da
