    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The scene where Billy eats a banana and throws the peel in the trash is improvised, including Dean Parker's response: 'Pick up that banana'. Before the cameras started rolling, Sean Astin asked a prop guy for a banana and then proceeded to eat it during the take, even adding a roll of the eyes when asked to pick up the peel. Aside from Louis Gossett, Jr., actor reactions were pretty much genuine.
    • Goofs
      The Feds at least suspect Cali's plan to kidnap the Phil Donoghue, since they remove him from the school. The Feds could have protected the school by either announcing that Phil was removed, or by leaving a law-enforcement/military presence to defend it. Bizarrely, the Feds do neither.
    • Quotes

      Jonathan "Snuffy" Bradberry: Man, this stuff is great. It's opening up my lungs, it's making me breathe easier.

      Ricardo Montoya: Evidently it's making you fart easier, too.

      Jonathan "Snuffy" Bradberry: I didn't fart.

      Ricardo Montoya: It's the first rule of prep school etiquette. When you're in a basement with no windows, don't fart.

      Jonathan "Snuffy" Bradberry: No, the first rule of prep school etiquette is to pretend you're asleep when your roommate's beating off.

      Henry "Hank" Giles, III: No, the first rule of prep school etiquette is to wait until your roommate falls asleep before beating off.

      Jonathan "Snuffy" Bradberry: Was that a personal remark directed at me, roommate?

      Henry "Hank" Giles, III: Choke your chicken. It's yours.

      Jonathan "Snuffy" Bradberry: You slap your monkey all the time! I can't sleep at night!

    I remember seeing this when it first came out in theatres and wondering why it wasn't a bigger hit at the time. Writer/director Daniel Petrie Jr. and his co-writer David Koepp have done an excellent job of taking a basically far-fetched comic-book plot and then getting us to go along for the ride. The acting is generally good all-around, with special kudos going to Andrew Divoff as the smooth, suave villain. Smart, fast paced, action-packed and exciting....a perfect popcorn picture.
