When Daryl, Turtle, and Sherie Lee play 'Pole Position' it may be thought that the game runs far too fast for a 1980s console.
While this is factually true, Daryl is likely manipulating the game console, which is alluded to several times during the rest of the movie, e.g. the ATM hack, him playing 2 games simultaneously while watching 4 different television programs.
Also he lowers the volume of all the screens without using a remote control, again with his mind. See more »

This is one of my favorites film ever.It's a very nostalgic film for me because I saw it a lot when I was small,even now that I'm 19,I have the video and I never get bored of it. Barret Oliver is just fantastic as Daryl,it's very sad that he stop acting because he was truly talented.Now that films are just about sex,Blood,and more sex it's good to turn to a feel good film like Daryl.I would also like to say that the title song of the film (Somewhere I belong)is very nice and the lyrics go very well with the film. My personal ratings would be 10/10
