When the script was originally written, there was the following line:
Cherry lines up the sight on the gun. She scans the room until she locks on a poster with a guy on it. The red bead of the laser sight is on his forehead. Cherry pulls the trigger. It clicks. Not loaded. Cherry smiles, though. It feels good.CHERRY Bang.
In the next revision, Director Kyle Day changed the line to reflect a specific person on that poster. Trivia Question… who was the person that Kyle Day wanted on that poster? The first person to comment below with the name of the celebrity will win a mini-poster autographed by Julin, Director Kyle Day, writer Garrett Hargrove and other people from the film!
First Hint: The person on the poster is male.
Second Hint: The person on the poster is a star of TV and Film (but more so known for TV).
Third Hint: Per imdb, this person played his most famous character in 147 television episodes. (Although folks my age or younger might think another of his roles was his most famous.)
Fourth Hint: Born in the 1960′s.
ANSWER: Scott Baio
Yes. This is what Kyle was thinking about when doing rewrites on our stripper revenge film:
Congrats, Scott Sneddon on your winning guess!
*PLEASE*** Anyone who has a copy of the script, do not answer. And if you have the most recent version of the script, the celebrity on the poster has changed.
HINT: Cherry Bomb takes place in 1984 and the person was current during that time.
Tiger Woods
or dandney colemen and the Cloak and Dagger poster
Dabney Colemen
i guess it could be arnold schwarzenegger’s Terminator poster
Better not be Bruce Abbott and “The Last Star Fighter’ that movie was awesome!
All wrong, Scott.
It has to be Julin, ’cause she is Cherry, no?
George Michael
Eddie Murphy from Beverly Hills cop?
Mr Miyagi from The Karate Kid?
Oh wait, I got it, Kevin Bacon from Footlose?!
No winners yet.
Guy Ritchie.
Not Guy Ritchie.

Dan Aykroyd in Ghostbusters?
Tom Hanks in Splash?
Freddy Kruger in Nightmare on Elm Street?
Kermit the frog in Muppets take Manhatten?
Clint Eastwood? Charles Bronson? Chuck Norris? Sylvester Stallone?
Linda Hamilton from Terminator, yes?
Charles Bronson is the best guess so far
perhaps its time for a hint?
Ha. Atleast I’ve had the best guess so far. That’s something I suppose.
I don’t know how much of a “hint” the “First Hint” is since the line says “laser sight is on his forehead”. I kind of got that right away which is why I thought it was odd some of the guesses so far were females. But then again it also says the movie takes place in 1984 and there have been some very non-80′s guesses too. lol.
Could it be Lee Van Cleef? That was the best thing that came to mind when you said my Charles Bronson guess was close.
Robert Englund aka Freddy Krueger – Nightmare on Elm Street
Not Freddy.
Tom Magnum?
Dr. Rocky Von Stromboli ?
No on Magnum and the guy in question is nowhere near as awesome as Dr. Rocky Von Stromboli.

No to Tj Hooker, Kurt Russel, Burt or Tom.

No Fonzie or Tom Selleck.

Nope.

Not Doogie Howser.
Lou Ferrigno? Remington Steele? The Six Million Dollar Man? William Shatner? Michael J. Fox?
No. No. No. No. And sorry, no.
David Hasselhoff?
Nope to the Hoff.
Danny DeVito in Romancing the Stone?
Oh, Kyle knows John Lithgow recently as a pretty good bad guy… is it him from Footloose?
John Goodman from Revenge of the nerds?
Im reaching at this point… what are we missing?!
No to DeVito or Lithgow or Goodman.
I’m trying to keep it vague for now to get more guesses. I’ll keep giving better and better clues.
It really is about as random a person as you can think of. There’s really no logic behind it.
