The guy John Cusack fought in the high school hallway by the lockers is Benny "The Jet" Urquidez, a world-famous Kickboxing champion with a 67-1 career record. John Cusack idolized Benny in real life, and his character in the 1980s comedy "Better Off Dead" referred to Benny in several scenes. John finally got to work Benny into one of his movies. John has been training kickboxing under Benny for over 30 years, and holds a 6th degree black belt!

This is a great movie. I like how he tells people what he really does for a living and no one believes him.
BTW some trivia- the fight scene between Martin and the ghoul looked very good. The reason is John Cusack is actually a black belt in real life, and the actor playing the ghoul is Cusack's trainer.

John was 30 when he filmed this and 31 when it was released...so just a couple of years past his 10 year HS reunion. Also, the reason you see John and Jeremy Piven in movies together all of the time is because they were real life best friends who grew up together outside of Chicago. Jeremy's parents owned a theater workshop in Evanston, Illinois and it's where they both trained to be actors growing up. Jeremy played Ari Gold on the TV show Entourage and it's probably his most famous role.

His secretary was played by his real sister Joan Cusack. Always liked this movie. Plus I'm an 80s music nut and the music in this movie is awesome. This movie has two soundtracks because it had so much music. Take care Cassie
