Saw this a couple weeks ago for the first time in 19 yrs

shyt was mad racist. Why the only black dude in the film gotta steal the car. And why the only other black guy in the film also gotta be a hood.

And why the only black woman in the film gotta steal the girls shades.

Was it cheesy? Yes but it's still an 80's baby Classic. I always thought "Don't Tell Mom, The Babysitter's dead" was a loose spin off, growing up. I assumed "The Sitter" was also a loose spin off basically but that was a remake of a TV movie by the same name but I think all the "Babysitting Genre" can be traced to "Adventures in Babysitting". I had no idea Disney remade the movie, lol. But "Adventures and Babysitting" is just one of those movies you watched a lot as a kid weither on VHS or television. That littile girl hanging outside the window was crazy and LOL @ Thor being so central to the plot.

Man, I had the same experience. I didn't notice how low key racist a lot of these 80s films were. I thought it was the shyt back then too, but it was basically, "clean cut white kids go to the hood, hilarity ensues."

The little girl in the movie was also in back to the future briefly. She is Lorraine sister who is at the dinner table after Marty is hit by the car. I believe she is a lesbian now
