"I can't believe the director of this movie keeps standing for the out and out censorship of this! It's (at least) the third release of it on DVD, and this latest (Nov. 2004) try is still a dud. Sure it cleaned up the flatter-sounding audio of 2.0, but if you don't have an expensive 5.1 sytem, who cares?
But the big problem remains the scenes which they only include in the cable TV versions of this, but keep cutting from the DVD. Why? One of the missing scenes is a very cool safe sex/birth control scene in the mall, for instance. Fast Times sticks out as one of the very rare films that this odd censorship has been performed on. In fact, out of thousands of releases since DVDs started in 1995, this is almost the only one this has happened to. So again we can only ask why? WHY?

"This is better than the first with a lot more gags and monsterous Gremlins. Gizmo looks more cuter than ever and I hope they can one day make another one..."
"As the earthbound angel, the almost-impossibly lovely Beart is enchanting. Without saying a word, she's funny too, trying to walk in high heels, and eating fast food french fries.
This was one of my favorite movies from the 80s. It's well worth owning. It makes me feel good to watch it."
"I saw this on USA Up All Night firsti** a corny 80's high school movie. What USA Network edited out is on this tape and it is super! The shower scene in this movie is ten times better than the one in Porky's. A lot of pointless nudity."
"I've been watching 'Drop Dead Fred' for years and it's still one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Everybody does a good job acting and it has some of the funniest sequences of any movie ever. Phoebe Cates used to have an imaginary friend, but now she's grown up. All of a sudden he comes back and she's the only one that can see him. However, she is more mature now, so she tries to ignore him and even make him go away, but she realizes she still feels like a kid sometimes and wants her imaginary friend to stay around. 'Drop Dead Fred' is one of the best comedy films ever and you'll never get tired of watching iti** one of the few movies that will never get old. If you like comedy movies, this is one you can't miss."
