: the only thing i caught in AF that could have been a Fast Times
reference is near the beginning their is a mention that William(the
charecter fashoined after Crowe)is thought to be a narc by his
peers...that's probably not a reference though but i was just thinking
about Crowe going undercover as an adult (Fast Times) and as a
kid(AF) although i think im the only one that understands what im
talking about
: : Totally amped about the new Crowe/ Lee flick...
: : One question for any preview crowds out there - is there any
: : reference to Fast Times at Ridgemont High?
: : If you don't know, Fast Times at Ridgemont High was actually
based
: : on a non-fiction book by Crowe - weird. Crowe actually went back
: : "undercover" to high school to gather info for the book (after he had
: : already graduated). This project came about during his rock-writer

: : Seeing how Almost Famous is basically based on Crowe's
