Dan McDonogh (MopHead Boy) personal collection

 

Dan McDonogh played the Mop Head boy wearing the Bart Taylor the Man shirt. He was the punkass kid that Wesley kicked on the playground. Dan contacted me about a year ago and we have stayed in touch. He recently visited his parents in Calgary and wanted to share the memories he has from RAD. Thanks alot Dan for taking the time, I really appreciate it.

RAD Filming Locations

This might be the coolest thing I have seen yet for RAD fans. This guy Andy Dewey via Cochrane Kurt just sent me a link to a Google Map where he documented alot of the filming locations by scene. Very cool job and very interesting to checkout. I haven't personally verified these, but I think they got it right. If you click on the item there are alot of before and after photos. Andy did a ton of work to pull this off.

The Fire Truck From RAD

My friend Kurt from Cochrane was cool enough to take these shots for me. This is the actual fire truck used in the movie at the beginning and during the parade. It is still in Cochrane and gets to make appearances from time to time. There are several more shots so click on this and scroll through the gallery. Thanks alot Kurt.

RAD 25 Year Reunion?

Sounds like a group of RAD enthusiasts from Cochrane, Alberta, Canada are beginning to put one together.  A good majority of the movie was filmed there. I will keep you updated as this progresses. I'm in, good times up there.
