I have to say, as someone a couple of years too young to remember John Hughes (and Weird Science) from my actual childhood, I preferred Vanessa Angel in the TV series butchering of it.
Actually, I really like Vanessa Angel as well. But I really liked the TV series - it has some just plain *weird* episodes. And it was always amusing seeing what Trouble would edit out of the show next. Completely unsuitable for kids morning telly...
I just discovered that there's a Region 1 DVD, which I'm sure I've looked for before so it's probably a recent release, but it's now only a matter of time until I get it.
As much as we all appreciate John Hughes, I think we can agree that this is a far superior poster (and one that I'm buying):
What could it be?!

It's a lovely poster.
But it does not contain Kelly LeBrock showing her pants.

Tough call but by virtue of Vanessa Angel being hotter and 'The Wizard' having both Fred Savage and Christian Slater. It's a win for the away team.
I'm actually impressed anyone remembers that film. Does anyone actually own it?

Ah, The Wizard; one long advert for Super Mario Bros 3.
An incredible movie.
