Though I LOVE This Movie:

1. Terrorist Will Let Their Hostages Go Out And Play For Recess

2. Blue Chips? Red Chips? Screw It, It Doesn't Matter, Just Stick One In

3. If You're A Brown Skinned Guy And You Say You Don't Speak Spanish, You'll Be Threatened To Be Shot

4. If You're A Brown Skinned Guy And You Realize You Do Speak Spanish After Saying You Don't, You'll Get Hit In The Knee

7. When somebody's says "we don't wanna hurt anybody, get in the truck" it's not a good idea to reach for your gun.

reply

terrorists can not hear helicopters (especially if it is sneaking right under their noses) in their vicinity. they hear them only if it rises up to their level.

9. Tapping into phone lines is only good for pornographic activities. You must risk your life and risk having 5 others executed to get information to the outside instead of phoning it in.

10. Lots of kids in this movie (probably extras) had weird haircuts, unusual haircuts, but I suppose that was the style at the time.

11. Going around in nothing but underpants in a small dorm room packed with 7 dudes could not even be remotely misconstrued in a homoerotic context.

12. When a head count is being taken of all the students, always get the only black guy in school to skip in line in order to dupe the terrorists into miscounting the one kid that's missing

13. "I'm sorry" is the only thing you need to say when the head terrorist, on his last legs and ready to blow himself and the school up, looks hysterically to you for an answer once you've foiled his entire scheme.

14. Smoking isn't such a good idea, period

15. Eat $hit, Mr Peterson!

16. Spray painting police cars and school property with the word "rejects" isn't very smart, since it lets everyone know exactly who done it every time you vandalize something

17. Did Billy mention he was black?

18. How do you think Billy broke into the headmaster's office to get the furniture out? How do you think he got last year's algebra final?

19. Jeez Louise, Yogurt! You'd think we were going to defuse a bomb or something?!

19. With a f-in machine gun we could shred these f-ers!

20. You shouldn't have been being sarcastic, you should've been writing it down.

21. Joey, shut the door!

22. If you own the third largest construction company in the world - you're a contractor

23. When attemping to disarm a bomb with the terrorists being distracted in another part of the school, always hide underneath the desk, just in front of the chair, when a bad guy unexpectedly returns to the room. Chances are he wouldn't sit down there

24. Americans always say stuff - but they never actually do it!

25. Don't make Billy look like a Narc to his friends


So you see, both Dunn and I were under Oveur, even though I was under Dunn.

26. Never underestimate what they can find out about your father from your school records.

reply

27. If you're going to kill off one of the cast, kill off the one played by the actor who plays the obnoxious kid on Star Trek that everyone hates.

reply

28. If you pull a kid out of school because you're afraid terrorists will come for him because they already killed a judge and three others, there's no need to beef up security at that school.

reply

Didn't they take the kid out of school because his dad (a judge) was going to be put in a federal witness protection program, which I guess would mean his whole family would have to come with him?

35. Machine gun stuff must run in mafia families.

36. Do you have anymore magazines?

37. If the Dean catches you, he doesn't kill you!

38. Billy sold 8 bottles of mouthwash for 35 bucks a piece. He's a genius.

39. Billy's going for the guinness book of records.

40. When you want to give a kid a really terrible punishment you give him pots and pans. Billy has to wash that $hit after every meal.

41. It wouldn't have happened if the American government hadn't kidnapped his father.

I love that scene, especially Keith Coogan (snuffy) saying "take it off! take it off now!!". 

He was my C.O. in Nam. CIA listed him as MIA but the V.A. ID'd his M.O. and put out an APB.
