The Breakfast Club premiered 39 years ago in 1985.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Breakfast Club was first released in theaters on February 7, 1985, and almost 40 years later, it’s seen as a treasured classic with some pretty big flaws. There are some wild details behind the making of The Breakfast Club, so it isn’t entirely shocking that some of the material that made it to the big screen has been viewed as problematic.
9 The Nine-Hour Detention Didn’t Make Sense The Detention Was Longer Than A Typical School Day Close The students in The Breakfast Club receive detention for various reasons. Bender pulled the fire alarm; Claire skipped class to go shopping; Brian brought a flare gun to school; and Andrew duct-taped a student’s butt cheeks together, which led to some of his skin being ripped off. Only Allison didn’t earn detention, later confessing she showed up because she had nothing better to do.
7 Bender’s Backstory Shouldn’t Excuse His Actions Bender’s Backstory Just Explained His Behavior Close Despite Bender’s sexual harassment of Claire and his general bullying towards everyone else in The Breakfast Club, his behavior is often excused because of his home life. When the other students finally had enough of his treatment of them, they started to give him a taste of his own medicine. Then, Bender revealed his parents were always fighting and his father abused him.
Bender tries to make fun of Carl, telling him he wants to learn more about becoming a janitor because Andrew was “interested in pursuing a career in the custodial arts.” Bender wanted to embarrass and shame Carl for being a janitor, but Carl didn’t take the bait. Instead, he reminded them that what he does is important, and it makes him “the eyes and ears of institution.”
5 The Breakfast Club Features A Controversial Flag The Confederate Flag Is Hanging In The Library Close One of the most famous scenes in The Breakfast Club is when Andrew unexpectedly and wildly dances in the library to “We Are Not Alone” by Karla DeVito. It’s a very fun scene that sees the students let loose, with the other students eventually joining him.
Before this, she makes up a fake scenario about her seeing a therapist for sex addiction and then having sex with her therapist. She comments that it can’t be rape because she paid for the sessions. Claire is indignant, arguing that he’s still a grown man taking advantage of her. It ends up being a lie and The Breakfast Club frames it as Claire being upset over nothing. Yet, she was right and rightfully upset at Allison’s story.
