I haven't seen this film in ages, but I'm absolutely positive that there was a plot thread where a mischievous group of students place a miniature bone-conduction walkie-talkie inside of an enemy's (probably Kent's) dental fillings (after drugging him, of course.) They then used it to convince him that God was talking to him, causing him to go insane.

And I definitely recall a scene where he was at the professor's house, standing in front of the huge thing of popcorn waiting for a sign from above on "God's" orders (maybe he even put it there, I don't remember), when the laser came through the window (accompanied by an angelic "aaaah" in the soundtrack) and set off the popcorn.

Maybe I'm mixing this up with another film, but I'm pretty sure this was it. 208.54.14.1 14:00, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

This scene did occur, I've seen the movie like a zillion times.--Reverend Distopia 20:59, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Is the section on Jordan "technically" committing statutory rape on Mich really necessary? I think someone was trying to make some kind of point about the double standards between women and men who commit statutory rape, which violates neutrality. Not that I'm trying to condone statutory rape, or pederastia of any sort, I'm just saying that it has no real bearing on the discussion of the movie. I'm going to remove it, but I'll retain it here if someone objects.--Reverend Distopia 19:03, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Miscellaneous

In many states, Jordan would have committed statutory rape if she made love to Mitch, as he was 15 and she was 19. (However, the relationship is portrayed in the film as largely innocent; also, females are rarely prosecuted for this crime, especially if they are under 21.)=
