    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      While "visiting" 1960, Peggy Sue warns her sister about eating red M&Ms. Red M&Ms were discontinued in 1976, when Red #2 dye was named as a suspected carcinogen. In 1986--after the film was released--red M&Ms were reintroduced with a different red dye.
    • Goofs
      When Peggy Sue tells Richard that she had "come from the future," you can see that she actually said "back from the future" by watching her lips. The line was apparently overdubbed later so the movie wouldn't make viewers think of the recently-released hit movie Back to the Future (1985).
    • Quotes

      Evelyn Kelcher: Peggy, I don't mean to be intrusive, but are you having problems with Charlie?

      Peggy Sue: A lot of things are confusing right now, Charlie is just one of them.

      Evelyn Kelcher: Is Charlie pressuring you into doing things you don't think you should be doing?

      Peggy Sue: What do you mean?

      Evelyn Kelcher: Peggy, you know what a penis is? Stay away from it!

    "Oh, Ma...Chanel No.5 Always Makes Me Think Of Home" - Peggy Sue
    What a great movie! Originally intended for Debra Winger, but Kathleen Turner is wonderful as the title character Peggy Sue. It's a time-travel movie about a 42 year old woman who gets transported back in time to high school (circa early 1960's). Who wouldn't love an opportunity like that, not to mention being 18 again?? My favorite scene is when she walks back into her house, & sees her mom young again, while that beautiful music plays on the soundtrack. It's so touching & heartfelt. This movie has it all. Great acting, comedy, drama, fantasy, & a good story. Nicholas Cage can get annoying at times, but he felt this was the best way to portray his character (Charlie). He gets to "sing" in this movie too ("He Don't Love You"). Look for a very early performance by Jim Carrey. The cast also includes Helen Hunt & Catherine Hicks (the mom on the TV show "7th Heaven").
