Dumb Things In Ferris Bueller's Day Off Everyone Ignored

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well, Ferris Bueller's Day Off moves pretty fast, too. Perhaps everyone has seen it so many times that they didn't stop and look around and realize that there are a lot of baffling events in the movie.

One of Ferris’ earliest schemes involves securing a car for the day. Ferris tells us

"I asked for a car, I got a computer."

...as a way of explaining why he doesn’t have wheels of his own. The problem is that his computer is one of the many expensive toys that fill his bedroom.

In addition to a computer cool enough to be connected to the web in the mid-80s, Ferris' room is also stuffed with a slick sound system and even a synthesizer he puts to particularly good use.

Throw in the classic electric guitar and he's got quite a bit of money laying around. Sell your stuff, Bueller!

After fooling his parents with a fake illness, Ferris' next big task is convincing his best friend Cameron Frye to join him on his day off. Ironically, Cameron is already out of school for the day, home sick in bed for real. Ferris doesn't believe Cameron, noting his hypochondriac
tendencies. But Cameron does seem to be quite ill, so much so that he barely feels like moving.

Somehow, Ferris is able to rouse him and bring him along on the trip, and just like that, Cameron is fine. He goes from lying in bed to hanging out at a Chicago Cubs game. Not once during the day do we see Cameron becoming dizzy, trying to nap, or knocking back some DayQuil. He was either faking it, or he was miraculously cured.

Ferris invites Cameron along, in part, because he needs a car. They could just use Cameron's, but Ferris is too greedy for that. He wants to spend his day on the town in style, and has his heart set on stealing Cameron’s father’s car: A limited edition 1961 Ferrari convertible.
