Pete M @Petegeorge Oct 18, 2026 Love this underrated gem from the 80s. I can see how some people would say. It was a little bit of a slow burn at times, but I loved every minute of it And the payoff was great. See more Freddy V @RT18427309 Aug 14, 2026 Cool film. Amazing music.

I’m not sure why it doesn’t get the acclaim that other high-school movies from the 80s do. It’s always been a favorite of mine. Richard Tyson is perfect as Buddy Revell, and Casey Siemaszko plays a believable Everyman who eventually has to stand up for himself. The film does a great job at building tension as you see Siemaszko's "Jerry Mitchell" character nervously find ways around confronting Revell throughout the day until he's forced to face his ultimate fate. It's definitely darker than most films from this era; perhaps that's why it doesn't get mentioned as much as other teen-based 80s movies. If that's the case, it's a shame because there's actually more realism in this film than many of the more popular movies that came from this decade.

I agree that the protagonist, Buddy Revell, is under developed, as so many protagonists are. Think of Tom Cruise in most of his blockbusters. I would like to rewrite the ending of this film – if you watch carefully at the end, there is a tiny, tiny smile from Buddy Revell. That would've been an excellent point to say something like, "Well, perhaps we could be friends, in time". The character Buddy Revell is simply a collection of prejudices – but we got a glimpse that he might be a lot smarter than what the school yard gossip suggests – and had the ending been played a fraction beyond that simple fight, the film could've been made hugely more interesting.
