Madness Quotes |
Let
us be frank; it is certainly no secret that these mentally deficient,
giant, uncivilized vulgarians care nothing about the nobler pursuits;
such as art, music and library science.
--Wesley
------------
Count me in. I'd like to get back at those MORON JOCKS!!
--Berle
------------
Who are we? M-E-A-T-M-A-C-H-I-N-E. Meat Machine! Meat Machine! All
right, break!
--Lavitas & the Green Team
------------
If I'm lucky, I may get a view of Venus' two moons.
--Bratty Kid
------------
Fagabeefe?
--Barf
------------
Yeah, they make a smaller moped, but there's nothing like having
one of these mean machines between your legs.
--Wesley |

& Film References |
This
film makes reference to:
One Million Years B.C. (1966)-In the wax museum, Armpit
measures the bust of Rachel Welch dressed as her character from
this film.
Star Wars (1977)-In Pinball City, the game that the
teams have to beat is the Star Wars video game disguised
as the Star Fire video game.
"Kojak" (1973- 1978) When all of the teams are
in the airport, the 'false prophets' that Leon has sent to deliver
the next clue are all bald. One of them continually bothers Harold,
trying to give him the flyer, but Harold turns on him and says,
"Beat it, Kojack," then sends all of the flyers...flying.
For those of you not in the know, the role of Kojak was played by
Telly Sevalis, who was very bald. |

Madness Song Lyrics |
Come
see how good a night can be.
Are you ready for a brand new game?
(A brand new game).
Come take a change and play with me,
and you're never gonna be the same...
CHORUS:
When Midnight Madness,
starts to get to you;
Doesn't matter what you say,
doesn't matter what you do.
You gotta play.
Just
when you think you've had your fun,
and you're ready to say goodnight.
(don't say goodnight)
You'll find the fun has just begun,
'cause the game's gonna last all night.
Repeat
CHORUS two times
Just
when you think you've had your fun,
and you're ready to say goodnight.
(don't say goodnight)
You'll find the fund has just begun,
'cause the game's gonna last all night.
CHORUS
A:
When Midnight Madness,
starts to get to you;
Doesn't matter what you say,
doesn't matter what you do.
Ooooh! |

| TRIVIA |
|
| During
the interrogation of Scott in the Blue Teams' van, Andy Tennant
(Melio) was sick with the flu and had a 103 degree fever.
Midnight
Madness was the second film that Disney produced that was
rated PG. The first was The Black Hole. All previous Disney
films had been rated G.
When
the Yellow Team stops for 'dinner' (I don't really know what you'd
call the meal that comes after Midnight), David Naughton is drinking
a conspicuously placed Dr. Pepper. Naughton is famous for his
Dr. Pepper commercials in the 1970's....I'm a Pepper, she's
a Pepper, he's a Pepper. Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too?
Be a Pepper, drink Dr. Pepper...
SIX
DEGREES OF MICHAEL J. FOX: David Naughton is most famous for his
role of a young werewolf in the film An American Werewolf in
London - Michael J. Fox starred in Teen Wolf as a young
werewolf, which pays homage to Naughton's film during the transformation
sequence.
