    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Mark L. Lester said the film was inspired by several true stories of school violence he had read about in papers. In particular, was a story of a teacher who brought a gun to class to control his students, the scene ended up in the film.
    • Goofs
      In the scene where Stegman and his gang go to the punk band club, the punk band Teenage Head are playing. The song that the band is playing is called "Got No Sense". Before Stegman gets on stage to stage dive, he gives a two fingered gesture to the crowd. The singer of the band onstage is next to Stegman singing the song, but his lips are not matching to the words of the song being played by the band.

      Peter Stegman: Life... is pain. Pain... is everything. You... you will learn!

    • Alternate versions
      The original UK cinema release featured the R-rated U.S print (minus scenes of nudity) which was then cut by 4 minutes 14 secs by the BBFC to heavily edit the gang fight, the rape scene, Fallon's arm being sliced off with a buzzsaw, a shot of Stegman slashing Diane's chest on the rooftop, and Norris hitting Barnyard with a hand wrench - and this version was later rejected completely for a UK video certificate in 1987. The full unedited version was finally passed uncut by the BBFC in 2005.

    maybe my favorite b-grade film of all time...
    wonderful and amusing punk rock version of the teen gang movie. when new teacher andy norris (perry king) arrives at lincoln high, he unwittingly pits himself against a gang of punks led by the legendary timothy van patton (who shocks the audience with a beautiful self-written piano solo). as norris continues to investigate the punks' behavior, he finds himself and his wife caught up in violent world of high school brutality. some of the best and worst moments in video history are caught within the action-packed 93 minutes. absolutely fantastic cult film, deserves many, many viewings...
