Ferris Bueller Time Capsule: Then & Now
By now most of the world has been given a glimpse of the Superbowl ad for Honda featuring Matthew Broderick‘s reprise of 1986′s Ferris Bueller much to the delight of millions. Although another film will most likely never happen, this nostalgic throwback commercial has peaked the world’s interest in Ferris 26 years after ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ was a hit in theaters. Let’s jump into our DeLorean (I know, wrong film but same era) and travel back to a time when ‘Save Ferris’ wasn’t a band, Jennifer Grey had her original nose, and Principal Rooney wasn’t a registered sex offender (sadly, Jeffrey Jones truly is).
To celebrate this renewed fanfare, here is a comparison between 5 classic, key scenes from the original film and the 2012 Honda CR-V ad:
1986: “They Bought It”
2012: “He Bought It”
1986: “Life Moves Pretty Fast”
2012: “Life Moves Pretty Fast”
1986: “You’re Still Here?“
2012: “You’re Still Here?”
