Some of Jane's students happen to be members of a street gang known as the "Kings of Destruction" (KOD), led by Juan Lacas, who has been terrorizing Jane. After Jane's kneecap is broken by a big seminole named Bull, she tells Shale that she believes Lacas ordered the attack, so Shale goes undercover as Jane's substitute, and initially, Jane has no idea that Shale is doing this.

  Boy, this movie was really a lot of fun. The comedic undertones in this movie were hilarious. I love how square each character played their role. The dry coldness of the bad guy was just awesome.
  
  And it was even a bit of a captivating plot at the same time :)

  En langt under middels film. Eneste lyspunktet er en barnslig scene som inneholder en frokost med litt for mye fiber...

  A reworking of "Dangerous Minds", which was a reworking of "Stand and Deliver". DM and SAD were in west coast environments. This film takes place in South Florida and Tom Berenger shows that he still is BA in this film even though it is nothing special.

  This urban thriller is good by introducing the ultimate high-school disciplinarian - an unemployed mercenary soldier.

  What could have been a cheesy plot turned into a great film by Berenger and cast. Violent mercenary army versus local gang action.
