That's all well and good and here's your gold star from me, but Encino Man requires an empty pool (or more ideally a still under construction one but that would be messy).

I've never seen the movie in its entirety - just segments here and there. Sounds like I have missed an important plot point.

Brendan Fraser's Encino Man is found while Sean Astin and Pauly Shore are digging a new swimming pool.

(And I think it would be more accurate to say that Encino Man is a movie intended to highlight Sean Astin and instead launched Pauly Shore's movie career and Brendan Fraser.)

Hmm... I was just parroting what the "cute couple talking about the movie on the commercial breaks" said

In looking at the trivia about the movie on IMDb, I saw:

• Film debut of Rose McGowan.
  
• Jim Carrey and Nicolas Cage were both considered for the role of Link before Brendan Fraser was cast
  
• The group that is playing in the party scene is "Infectious Grooves" and features Mike Muir of the heavy metal band Suicidal Tendencies and Robert Trujillo, who currently plays bass with Metallica.
  
• The band at the prom, "Infectious Grooves", features Stephen Perkins of Jane's Addiction.

GAMMERA!! I love that movie!

Gammera is really neat
He is filled with turtle meat
We believe in Gammera!

This could be fun!

Doesn't Encino Man also go to Raging Waters, or is that just Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure?
