Fresh off his success with Star Wars and with the Holiday Special on the horizon, Hamill wanted to do something different, and playing a 26 year old high school virgin apparently fit the bill. This was Potts’ first film role. Interestingly, both actors were injured in serious car accidents just prior to filming.
In addition to Luke Skywalker and Ghostbusters' Janine there are quite a few familiar faces. Dick Miller, who has appeared in just about everything, has a small role. Danny (Partridge) Bonaduce is one of Luke’s schoolmates, as is Wendie Jo Sperber. She was all over television and light comedies in the 80’s, most notably Bosom Buddies and Back to the Futures, one and three.
If not for the cast, Corvette Summer would have been long forgotten. It’s mostly about a broke teen in Las Vegas chasing a Corvette with no plan on what to do if he finds it. I watched it for Mark and Annie, others may want to skip. AMRU 2.5.
