Weird Science was released on August 2, 1985 and starred Anthony Michael-Hall, Ilan Mitchell-Smith, Kelly LeBrock, Robert Downey, Jr., Bill Paxton, and a host of other familiar faces from the ’80s movies. In the movie, nerdy outcasts Gary and Wyatt (Anthony Michael-Hall and Ilan Mitchell-Smith) create the perfect woman (Kelly LeBrock) in their own Frankenstein-inspired way, and their lives are changed forever. The movie has become an ’80s cult classic!
