Ferris Bueller’s Last Line Almost Didn’t Happen

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off panel attendees, including Cindy Pickett and Matthew Broderick, revealed the film’s famous closing line was not in the original script.
The iconic line “Life moves pretty fast” was added by director John Hughes at the last minute.

Pickett shared that she often thinks about this line, which has become her favorite part of the movie. The actress played mom Katie Bueller and said Hughes had a great sense of humor.

Meanwhile, Broderick recalled his experience working with Hughes, who he described as serious but not easygoing. Despite some tension on set, the actor praised Hughes’ dedication to the film’s success.
