Rad. Very, very Rad.

Man, this was one of favourite movies when I was a kid. I only ever saw it once — maybe twice, the second time coming years later, unintentionally — but as far as my memory is concerned it was one of the best movies ever.
Decades later (dizzamn!), a friend claimed that Jason Schwartzman starred in the movie, and I was enticed to find evidence on YouTube. My reward? The film’s original trailer from 1986, and an IMDB page that is erroneously Schwartzman-free – it turns out that the Schwartzman involved with the film was Executive Producer Jack (he toplines the billing block on the poster), father to our beloved Jason, brother-in-law to Francis Ford Coppola, and uncle to one Mr. Nicholas Cage.

True, his father produces, and mom acts in it…but wouldn’t you think there’s a good chance he has at least a small part as an extra? There may be a ton of young Coppola’s as extras. May be hard to tell as they would be much younger.
