Welcome to Blue Bay, an alligator-infested, affluent South Florida beach community. High school guidance counselor, Sam Lombardo , gets in hot water when an heiress , and a misfit from the wrong side of the swamp accuse him of rape.
The plot has more twists than a Twizzler and almost every line is loaded with innuendo. Whether it holds up is a matter of opinion and tolerance of late nineties radio hits, but you can’t beat the cast, most of which have maintained steady work. Plus, the sexy leads give the audience more than an eyeful. In 1998, erotic thrillers were still hot following the success of. Richards had just bug-zapped her way into our hearts in.
Campbell had twice and wanted to branch out, and Dillon and were already well established stars. People clamored to see the film, which recouped almost half its budget on opening weekend, and ultimately grossed over $55 million.
In order to properly celebrate this cinematic revelation, we’ll need to get specific, so this is your SPOILER ALERT. If you haven’t seen the film, close your browser and get to it. For the rest of you, it’s time to learn what’s up with the cast of Wild Things. Matt Dillon (Sam Lombardo).
“This is a celebration Suzie, not a suicide pact.” Lombardo is a lot of things: a boat man, a ladies man, and a concerned Guidance Counselor. Sure, maybe he accidentally overstepped a few teacher/student boundaries, but he’s innocent, goddamnit! Of course, he’s not really innocent, but he is oblivious to the plan’s full scope. He wants to dive into Sandra Van Ryan’s deep pockets, but he doesn’t want anyone to die for it. Then again, he gets over Kelly’s death right quick. Equal parts handsome, smarmy, stupid, and conniving, Matt Dillon is the perfect Sam.
His line readings are spot on. Lombardo is just one of many signature Matt Dillon roles on a resume that includes, The Flamingo Kid, Singles, and Drugstore Cowboy. In, Dillon played a Secret Service agent investigating the disappearance of two colleagues. Come 2018, he’ll embody a brilliant serial killer in ‘s The House That Jack Built. Earlier this year, he had a supporting role alongside feisty seniors Morgan Freeman and in. Bill Murray (Ken Bowden). “SuzieBe Good.” clearly has the time of his life playing the original.
Ken is the only public defender willing to represent an accused statutory rapist. He’s rewarded with enough cash from the Van Ryan settlement to afford a new car, designer suit, and an invite to The Club. We later learn that Ken is working for Suzie, hence his confidence about going up against the Van Ryans. Murray was already a huge star before Wild Things, but he was starting to get typecast as a scheister. He didn’t do too much afterward except become an indie superstar in and. In real life, Murray reportedly crashes parties, guest bartends, and dispenses marriage advice like a fairy godfather.
Like Ken, Murray doesn’t really even need to work anymore, so he gets to do pretty much whatever the hell he wants. In recent years, he’s played Balloo in, Mayor Gunderson on, and a supernatural skeptic in the. Cory Pendergast (Jimmy Leach). I could definitely party on one of those!” Class clown Jimmy Leach is also Mr. Lombardo’s star sailing pupil, trading boat labor for free lessons. After Sam’s rape accusation, Jimmy is the only student who doesn’t drop the class. Sam gives Jimmy lifts and dispenses bullshit advice about how to work his way through college and become “ a real boat man”.
Jimmy is so bummed about what happens to Mr. Lombardo that he stops shaving and starts wearing suits. Following Wild Things, Pendergast appeared briefly in (also featuring Dillon). In 1999, he reunited with fellow Floridian, Toi Svane Stepp (Nicole) and starred alongside Dee Wallace and Joyce DeWitt in Brandon Fowler’s coming-of-age story, 18. Unfortunately, the film’s negative mysteriously vanished, preventing its completion. Pendergast mostly laid low after that until 2007, when he starred as a small-town con man in the low budget comedy, Trust Me.
He now lends his expressive face to commercial work for the likes of Netflix, National Car Rental, and Macy’s. Dennis Neal (Art Maddox). “It’s a Barracuda. If you weren’t so busy chasing booty at the yacht club, you could have caught one for yourself.” Art is both “a fellow guidance counselor” at Blue Bay High School and Sam’s only friend apart from Jimmy. Sometimes, the pals hang at the yacht club, but for the most part, Art is Sam’s rock.
He’s the kind of friend who will quit razzing you about your romantic life the second you’re accused of rape. After that, he’ll fully support you, take care of your lizards, and provide crucial exposition about the Van Ryans. Since Wild Things, Neal has kept busy.
He logs a couple of credits a year, mostly TV guest spots ( Arli$$, and Moesha). That’s pretty much what he was doing before Wild Things too. But in August, he’ll get a crack at a lead role in HeartBreak, a film about a washed-up professional billiard champion who mentors a Korean woman on her quest to become the billiard world champion and save her son’s life. Kevin Bacon (Ray Duquette).
“The thing about it is, threesomes so rarely work out.” Ray is arguably the chumpiest of the chumps in the quartet of deception at the center of Wild Things. A dirty cop from the Department of Sex Crimes, Ray seems hell bent on nailing Lombardo. In reality, Suzie convinces Sam to rope in Ray, under the guise that Sam will cut out the girls and split the money two ways. Of course, Suzie has no intention of sharing with Ray, or anyone else that screwed her over.
He never should have killed that kid out in the Glades. Is so ubiquitous, you can link him to any Hollywood actor in six moves or less (hence the infamous Six Degrees of Bacon rule). He’s made a million more things since the advent of this internet standard, including three seasons of the crime thriller,. He currently sizzles on Jill Soloway’s Amazon series with Katherine Hahn, and soon, he’ll appear in Story of a Girl, a coming of age drama directed by his wife,. Daphne Rubin-Vega (Gloria Perez). “You want my gut, there it is. I think she’s acting.” Poor Perez.
As a Sex Crimes detective, and Ray’s partner, she gets to be perpetually wary, but doesn’t get any real information until it’s too late to do anything about it. Daphne Rubin-Vega is overqualified for this underdeveloped role, which mostly involves placating Ray’s “theories”. She’s the picture of professionalism until Ray sends her to spy on Sam, who invites her into his hotel room, where they share an out-of-the-blue flirtation and almost kiss. The Panamanian born Rubin-Vega played a key role in Philip Seymour Hoffman’s directorial debut, Jack Goes Boating.
Before that, she had a small part in Flawless, with PSH and. More recently, she had a recurring role on season two of as Eileen Rand’s (Anjelica Huston) publicist.
You can catch her next with in The Holdouts, a TV comedy movie about New Yorkers who can no longer afford to live in the Big Apple. Carrie Snodgress (Ruby). “That’s all there is to say about Ray Duquette.” Ruby runs Smilin’ Jack’s Fish Camp, a bait shop and gator wrastlin’ exhibition.

She’s Walter’s mother and Suzie’s surrogate grandmother. She’s also an exposition machine with an ever-present cigarette and a knack for answering the right questions before they’re even asked.
She’s extremely important because at the end, she gives Gloria pretty much all the juicy info she needs to bust the case wide open. As it turns out, Suzie has motive up the wazoo to want everyone dead. Before Wild Things, Snodgress was nominated for an Oscar for her role as the titular housewife in Diary of a Mad Housewife. Over the years, she stayed busy with TV work on shows like, In the Heat of the Night, and Touched by an Angel. She died in 2004 at the age of 58. Her final credits were a guest spot on and a role in Iron Jawed Angels, a TV movie about Suffragettes. Marc Macaulay (Walter).
“That girl could do just about anything she put her mind to.” Walter is a slow burn character. We meet him outside Smilin’ Jack’s Fish Camp, the bait shop by Suzie’s trailer park. He’s usually engaged in some form of alligator slapstick. We later learn that he’s Ruby’s son, and he got his gator-wrastlin’ proclivities as a result of Army P.T.S.D. He stays mum until the film’s end, when he inadvertently tips Gloria off to Suzie’s conniving brilliance. “Old lady had her tested once. They said her IQ was way up there, round two hundred or some such shit.” Marc Macaulay has 140 acting credits to his name, so you’ve likely seen him somewhere since Wild Things.
He even played different characters in two of the film’s straight-to-video sequels. He also had small parts in, Monster, and a recurring role as Agent Harris on. Most recently, he was the lead in a film called Manhattan Cop. Robert Wagner (Tom Baxter). “I don’t think you understand, Sandy. Your little princess here committed perjury.
It will be all I can do to keep her f. little ass out of jail.” Baxter is Sandra Van Ryan’s sharp-dressed lawyer and father to Sam’s only adult girlfriend, Barbara.
He confronts Sam at The Club with a terrific speech: “Maybe you didn’t hear me, Lombardo. You’re finished in Blue Bay.
And if I find you around my daughter again, you’ll be finished, period. Get the f.
out of here”. Wagner became a legend from his role as Jonathan Hart on the early 1980’s mystery series, Hart to Hart. He subsequently made a career of playing off that image, as Number Two in the movies, and a celebrity head on. He also had a regular role on NCIS. Soon, he’ll play the important-sounding Evil One on the upcoming supernatural comedy series, Donna’s Inferno. He’ll also share top billing with Glenn Close, Willem Defoe, and Noomi Rapace in the sci-fi film. “My daughter does NOT get raped in Blue Bay!” Sandra Van Ryan isn’t going to win any awards for mothering, but she’s doing her best as a single mother and Jet Set Real Estate Agent.
After all, Kelly’s dad “ didn’t HAVE to kill himself.” Kelly has no right to begrudge her screwing Sam, seeing as Sandra’s the more lawful choice. Sandra is genuinely upset when Kelly claims Sam raped her — she even offers to share her Valium! After Wild Things, Russell starred in Kevin Williamson’s short-lived TV series, Glory Days. She also played another dubious mom, Sara Taylor, in the TV movie, with Lindsay Lohan.
In 2016, Russell starred with Taryn Manning and in A Winter Rose, a movie about an alcoholic orphan who becomes an overnight international singing sensation. The critically acclaimed film screened at the 2014 Dances with Films Festival and the soundtrack boasted six hit singles. It’s been picked up for distribution, and will hit screens in 2017. Jeff Perry (Bryce Hunter). “Rules are rules, Mr.

Lombardo.” Nicole is Kelly’s friend and fellow cheerleader who helps wash Mr. Lombardo’s Glades muddied jeep. The rule-conscious Nicole insists that Sam produce the car wash coupon he purchased from the school fundraiser. While Sam is in the house, Nicole deliberately strands her friend, at Kelly’s insistence, leaving her conspicuously alone with Sam. A Florida native, Toi hasn’t done a whole lot of acting since her first role in Wild Things.
Apart from a brief appearance in From Justin to Kelly and a guest spot on, she took a decade off to start a family. But she got back in the saddle in 1998 for a small role in Creature, the sci-fi horror mini-series starring Craig T. Nelson and Kim Cattrall. Based on the book, White Shark, by author Peter Benchley, it tells the story of small town that gets terrorized by a shark monster (minus ). Jennifer Taylor – as Jennifer Bini (Barbara Baxter). “Kelly Van Ryan’s gonna wash your jeep?” Barbara is Sam’s girlfriend at the time of the rape allegations.
Her dad (Sandra’s lawyer) dumps Sam by proxy at the country club. Besides, as an elderly woman in her late twenties, her tenure as Sam’s girlfriend was probably short-lived.
Barbara doesn’t get to do much besides eye Kelly suspiciously, look scandalized in the courtroom, and get called “ pricey trim” by Ray. Actress Jennifer Taylor was first runner up for Miss Florida in 1995, and Wild Things was only her second acting credit. But she went on to do numerous guest spots on TV shows like Arli$$, Diagnosis Murder, and Shameless, plus a four episode arc on Burn Notice as another Sam’s “ sugar mommy”, Elsa. She planned to quit acting and teach the trade in Florida when she was offered the part of Chelsea, Charlie Sheen’s first serious girlfriend, on. Before that, she had played three different characters on the show, including an appearance in the pilot.
Denise Richards (Kelly Van Ryan). “My mom would kill me if she knew I took the rover.” The filmmakers clearly anticipated that Richards would be the number one draw for boob enthusiasts, because when she’s not in a bikini, she’s in a sheer one-piece or she’s entirely topless.
She’s perfectly cast as the spoiled little rich girl who, despite living in a literal mansion, can’t wait till her mother dies to cash in her trust fund. Richards went on to star in the cult favorite, and has continued to pay the bills with TV guest spots a-plenty and five films in postproduction for 2017. Most recently, she acted alongside Dolph Lundgren and Jonathan Lipnicki as a morally ambiguous FBI agent in the action thriller, Altitude. She also stars in American Violence as a psychologist who studies a death row serial killer. In life, Richards mirrored Kelly’s dubious romantic choices, but turned it around when she divorced Charlie Sheen and sued for full custody of their two children. It’s probably safe to assume that she’s a better mom than Sandra Van Ryan.
Neve Campbell (Suzie Toller). “Take a look around us, Sam. You’re gonna have to teach me how to drive this thing before I can get rid of you.” as Suzie Toller is everything. The role is a well-calculated 180 from the good girl image Neve depicted in the movies and six seasons of the Fox melodrama, Party of Five. She’s a secretly brilliant swamp-dwelling delinquent with a vendetta and an intricate master plan. Throughout the film, characters compliment Kelly on her “performance”, but nobody ever suspects Suzie, who plays the patsy to the hilt. Her flawless deception enables her to sail off into the sunset with the lump sum of Van Ryan moneys and zero loose ends.
Campbell currently plays political consultant Leann Harvey on. She also had a sexy cameo on as the flight attendant who made Don Draper’s skies a whole lot friendlier. In 2018, she’ll fly high again, this time alongside in the China set-action thriller,.

I have a boat trailer that has a serial number stamped into it.The first 3 letters on the serial number are ABC. The trailer was made in Hollywood Fla. And I am trying to find out what company made this trailer, and to see if I can get a title for it.The guy I bought it from got it with the boat that I bought from him, and never registered the trailer and the original owner never sent him the title for it.I never knew the original owner, so I can't go to him. I'm trying to get a title for this trailer. I figure if someone on this forum has a trailer that has 'ABC' in the first 3 letters stamped into their trailer, that they will be able to tell me where and who made the trailer.I've had both the boat and trailer for the last 2 years and have not been able to properly register the trailer.Thanks for your help.Jim.
I can't believe in this day and computer age, that motor vehicle can even find out anything on this serial number that I have.It's a shame to have to jump through all their hoops to register this trailer as an over 1000 lb home built trailer. In the over 1000 lb catagory I have more added fee's, additional inspections, etc.Typical NY paperword that does nothing more than generate revenue for something that since fuel prices are so high I will use MAYBE 8 times a year or so.
Putting things in perspective, the powers that be really put a damper on having good clean fun that we've all been use to having over the years.Life is getting more and more complicated. I registered a 1967 trailer in three states, and pursued it in another (none of them New York, unfortunately). Miraculously, I still have the serial number and manufacturer name, even though the manufacturer no longer exists (again, unfortunately, the number does not start with 'ABC', and I don't have it handy). But the more I think about it (this is my third edit of this post), it's a Gator trailer, and I seem to recall it had two manufacturing locations listed on the tag-was it Indiana? Florida would certainly be consistent with 'Gator.'
Maybe someone can confirm this, or try another post titled 'Gator trailers' to see if you can get any bites. A quick Google turns up nothing. I'm not near the trailer so I can't just run out and look. The state I tried but failed to register it in gave me a hard time because the trailer didn't have a VIN number. I even had an existing title from another state, using the serial number. No trailers have VIN numbers before a certain date; don't recall what date that is, but definitely after '67. DMV branch manager said I had to take up the matter at the capitol.
I think another problem is that I had the serial number on a capacity plate that had fallen off and I had in my possession, rather than permanently affixed to the trailer. Luckily I moved from that state and didn't have to worry about it. I got by fine in the other three states, which all required a title, but were much more reasonable. But the advice I got in the problem state, which you've already discovered, is to register the trailer as homemade.
Some states use this as the catch-all for obsolete trailers, too. Or at least find an official reasonable and knowledgeable enough to accept the fact that trailers get old and manufacturers disappear, etc. Be as informed and documented as possible before going to DMV. Obviously, that's what you're trying to do here. May take some run-around but you should be able to register your trailer without the manufacturer name. But I guess if someone can cough up a name here, that's one less thing for you to work around. If it's any consolation, I wound up having to add running lights and getting the trailer inspected in the state I wound up in.
Running lights! The trailer's pretty small so it seemed kind of ridiculous. So I hear you about the spoiling good fun with paperwork. Aero, Thanks for the reply.What gets me is the fact that this is a factory made trailer with a VIN number stamped in the Aluminum frame!!IT has side markers, running lights, brake lights, and even works with 4 way flashers along with directionals.It's a 2003 trailer that evidently was never registered and therefore does not exist. One would think that with the infinite wisdom of our DMV that they could simply give me a title with the VIN numbers that I can verify exist on this trailer, and look at the existing weight tag ( ON THE TRAILER ) and charge me according.
I don't even have a problem taking it for inspection.The trailer is in EXCELLENT condition!!! I'm not getting any info from anybody on this site that has similar ABC lettering on thier VIN number, nor any other site.I'm beginning to think that my trailer was made by a company that made ONLY my trailer and then went out of business. Homemade looks like my only alternative.How can a state with so many laws and so many things written into it's DMV statutes not have something sensible for a trailer like this????. Amharic fiction books free pdf. I guess it would make too much sense.Thanks again.Jim.
What is the point of a vehicle identification number if you can't identify the vehicle with it? I guess you could try Carfax or a similar VIN checking service. Funny thing is, when you Google that, you find more questions that answers. I'm sure you'll have to pay, but hopefully you can find one that will just charge you for your one lookup, and will of course include trailers. The model year should work in your favor. Sounds like $20 or whatever would be worth saving the trouble of going the 'homemade' route.
