The 1987 comedy, directed by Jim Drake, was Spade's debut feature film.
But once filming got underway, some time had passed since Hawk was initially hired, and during that period, the pro skateboarder said puberty also happened.] to the time we got there, and so for the first week, they were like, ‘I think that guy is too tall,'” Hawk said. “And I remember the director saying, like, ‘Y’know, he’s a pretty good skater but he’s a bad stunt double,’ and so then Stacy [Peralta, second unit director for skateboarding] kept telling me like, ‘Stay low.
Spade said Hawk was replaced by skater Chris Miller, but since he wasn’t goofy-footed like Spade, it led to some continuity issues while filming. “They sent in Chris Miller who looks more like him [Spade] but he’s regular footed, so in the skate sequence, his stance keeps changing. It’s so crazy,” Hawk added.
The iconic skateboarder did end up making an appearance in the movie though. Spade recalled Peralta asking him if he could perform one of his own stunts for a specific scene that involved jumping several steps on a skateboard. “I can do five steps seven out of 10 times,” the comedian quipped. “And then we go in and I do the first steps and I fuckin’ wipe out, and then everyone has to wipe out on top of me ’cause they’re all like two feet behind me. There’s no adjusting.”
Following the failed take, Peralta had Hawk step in to do the stunt, which the skater noted was “not nothing, but it was doable.”
