War Games seriously lacked an intense sex scene between David and Jennifer. I've imagined it so many times... he impresses her by fixing her grade on his computer, and in a moment of sheer joy she pushes the computer and modem off the desk, sparks flying around the room - both electronic and emotional - as clothes get pulled at, ripped, and torn off their bodies. An 8 bit instrumental version of Eurythmics' song Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These) bubbles in the background as the scene fades in and out of slow motion lustful embrace between the two, and abstract, digital graphics depicting sexual intercourse and the collision of two bodies to become one. With clothes fully removed, Jennifer, struggling to catch her breath, asks David "Are you sure we should be doing this?" to which he turns toward her, eyes flashing red like strobe lights, says simply "Of course," his voice altered to sound like a robot. The scene again switches to digital graphics, culminating in 30 seconds of a spaceship shooting wave after wave after wave of lasers into a growing and pulsating orb that eventually bursts and turns the screen white - a metaphor for the incredibly blissful sexual act the two have just experienced for the first time. The scene fades form white to a camera pan of the room: keyboard keys, capacitors, shattered plastic, wires, diodes, scattered across the room, pausing on the two teenager's exhausted bodies, laying near-lifeless on the bed in his room.
It is at this point that the movie returns to normal, and you hear David's dad yell up to him from downstairs because the dog has rummaged through the trash cans.
