I heard Jon Cryer talking about that film on Adam Carrolla a few weeks/months ago.
He said that the first choice for casting "Duckie" was Robert Downy Jr., apparently Molly Ringwald was heavily involved in the casting choices. He wasn't available, so they went with Jon. He also said that in the original cut/script Duckie does get the girl, but she insisted that it would be a bad character choice. Apparently this is also in the anniversary DVD interviews. So they reshot the ending, and Duckie loses. And I like that ending better, because it rang truer. (I *was* Duckie in highschool) ....
