Yeah Michelle Pfeiffer, why teach 'm if you can just shoot 'm?


This started out just like Dangerous Minds, which I had seen already, and I thought, oh my God not again, but then he started being no more mr. nice guy and I must say that was much better. Damn funny at least. Especially how the guy flies away when they blow up the cocaine in the basement, just brilliant. So I guess there should be a Dangerous Minds II where Michelle, who after all was a marine, just start kind of the same riot with which Tom Berenger showed us how you should handle a couple of brats like that.

Saw it again today, it really is a brilliant idea! Starting out with the same I'm-gonna-doze-off-now moralistic bulls*** speeches, and then he just graps his shooters and kills the whole lot! A bit of the old ultra violence! Go Tom Berenger!

The only thing missing was a little of the Ludvig Van

The main difference, of course, being that Dangerous Minds is based on actual events. But this one was still a good ride. :D

This movie has always been "The Other Dangerous Minds" to me.
