    Like a John Hughes 80s coming of age comedy w/ an edge. Buddy Revell is the ultimate bully and nothing will stop him from kicking your ass.

    Great 80's flick! Fun to quote. This was what I envisioned high school to be. Unfortunately my high school did not have lockers or bullies that looked 30.

    Funny "High Noon" spoof with great camerawork by Barry Sonnenfeld and that lovely and unique 80s style.

    This is a film from 1987 (noone I know has ever seen it and i've watched it countless times) and it has to do with this really nerdy guy having to go against a bully. It's one of the more realistic bully type films i've seen and the film is not great or good, it's decent. It's all due to him bumping into the bully by mistake and the dude wants to kill him. The sequence of events has Jerry trying to get people to beat up Buddy (bully) but it does not work out. How he wins I will not spoil it because it's a doozy. Go underdogs.

    Quite possibly the best of the "teen films" of the 80's including the John Hughes ones.
    That's right I said it.
    It's also in style and wit the precursor to one of the best 90's TV shows, Parker Lewis Can't Lose.

    Great movie! Still a favorite, still watch every now and then. Casey Siemaszko was simply brilliant in this!

    ...not funny. Either it didn't hold up well to time or it was never the epic to begin with but with the exception of a pleasing Jeffrey Tambor appearance, this movie just wasnt a pleaser.

    One of my fav teen comedy movies of all time!
    Love the camera movements and fast jump cuts. Maybe one of the first to do so? Also alot of great character actors are in this. Mr. O'Rourke: Don't fuck this up, Mitchell!

    One of those movies I can't resist watching when it's on tv. Glad I didn't pay $12, but a very watchable tv movie.

    This movie is awesome. Richard Tyson is the meanest son of a bitch in the world. He made me want to punch a geek. Its also the first time I heard one guy call another guy a pussy. A wonderful movie.

    A watchable and somewhat entertaining teen comedy that is well diretced and solidly acted but the script is avearge and some of the jokes don't work. It has some good moments but it could have been better.

    A very cool and entertaining film about a teen who has to deal with a bully and will go to some extremes to not have to meet him at 3:00. Casey Siemaszko and Richard Tyson star in this 1987 film.

    Not quite as fun as other 80's teen movies, but still pretty good. (Aaron Spelling is an executive producer.)

    Waste of TIME!! Very Weak movie, DO NOT WATCH, if you do end up watching it, side effects may include: Suicide, murder ramapages, road ramapage, any kinds of ways of harming yourself, and many others...

    I caught this film late one night on BBC1, must have been at least several years ago. It's a really good film, I may even try and get the DVD.

    This film needed to have more advertising. It has become an 80s cult classic. The camera movements really define the film and tie in "3 O'clock" quite well.
