School's Out!

Stefan Brogren (Archibald 'Snake' Simpson) was the first person to use the word "fuck" on Canadian television.

The character Joey turns 19 in the film. This wouldn't have been correct in Canada in those years. A teen in their Grade 12 year back then meant they were 17-going-on-18 in their senior year. A few other students are also mentioned being 19, however viewers saw them in caps and gowns at the beginning of the film, clearly graduating high school. This also doesn't make sense with the time line from the series given that the same kids who were seen graduating, had started Grade 8 in 1987. This would put all of those kids at 12 or 13 years old in 1987. It is now five years after this time. The timing was kept on par throughout the series, however for this film they should have aligned the ages with the senior year and with the series by making the graduating class 17-going-on-18, and not boosted their age to 19.

When "School's Out" premered in the United States in 1993 on PBS, lots of footage was left out. These scenes include:

• Joey and Tessa going into more detail about the movie they saw on their first date.
• Snake falling into the pool on his first day as a lifeguard.
• Snake being followed around the pool by little girls who develop crushes on him.
• Tessa showing up late for work the day after her date with Joey, then going into detail with Spike on how Joey will be her's before school starts.
• Snake confronting Joey about two-timing Caitlin with Tessa, and saying that Joey has spent his summer "f**king Tessa". (In the U.S. version, "seeing Tessa" was dubbed over the above mentioned words).
• When Caitlin overhears the coversation, she asks Joey, "You were f**king Tessa Campinelli?"
• Snake recuses a drowning girl at Bronco's party, then has a breakdown because of his lousy summer.
