: Instead of being fired, the school board transfers him to Brandel High—the district's most dangerous "last resort" school—to serve as the new principal.
: Playing the head of security, Gossett provides the film's moral backbone and gravitas, often elevating scenes that would otherwise feel lackluster.
: Jim Belushi stars as Rick Latimer, a hot-headed teacher who destroys his ex-wife's boyfriend's car in a drunken rage.
