The Adventures of Ford Fairlane
Billy Idol was cast as Smiley, but had to pull out of the role after a nearly-fatal motorcycle accident. Renny Harlin personally asked Robert Englund, who had previously worked with him on A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988), to take over the role after Idol's accident. Idol's song "Cradle of Love" is playing when the fraternity sister takes Ford Fairlane and Zuzu Petals to her house.,Johnny tells Ford to meet him at the radio station at 6:00 p.m. When Ford parks outside the station, the sky is dark. As we learn later in the film, the story is taking place in late July. Sunset in Los Angeles in late July is about 8:00 p.m., so it shouldn't have been dark yet.,Ford Fairlane: So many assholes... So few bullets...,Featured in Billy Idol: Cradle of Love (1990),Cradle of Love
