Hate to get deep in the middle of this top tier comedy, but real talk the proliferation and popularity of this movie in the 80s and 90s is telling of where black elders heads were at during this time. White writer or not, I was shown this movie 100 times as a kid. That ridiculous opening scene legit gave me nightmares cause it was so horrifying. They really thought all we needed was tough love...
From the color grading, the wardrobe, the atmosphere and dialogue gave me fever dream when I first watched it as a kid. Like the atmosphere was ashy and gritty. Yet I’ve learned how to persevere in my education because of it. Very odd looking back as a 30 year old lol.
Facts! That all we lack is a strong father figure and tough love. An we shall over come. White people watch this movie an be like see I told y’all. They just needed tough love,accountability an a father figure lmao.

This movie was peak Reagan era with its premise that Black people have slipped into social and moral dysfunction that can only be reformed by hard nose law and order tactics while ignoring the underlying socioeconomic issues! Morgan Freeman is a masterclass tho!
Well, but that's true. Things have only gotten worse in the black community, and people keep ignoring the real issues, and focusing on the fake while also lying and spreading false narratives.
My dad actually went to this school shortly before this happened. He confirmed they exaggerated, but the school was absolutely in an unacceptable position. The school improved for a bit, but gangs gonna gang.
I mean, that’s really the problem with education in America. Overworked and underpaid teachers can do what they can in school, and if they are able, they even sacrifice their scarce free time to make sure their students are okay. Yet, none of that really addresses the material conditions that exist outside of it’s doors. You can send take home bags of food, but there is never enough to feed a hungry family. You can try your absolute best to make sure the school is a safe space from the violence and trauma that exists in the world outside of those walls, and tragically in, but once they leave there is nothing you can do. Surrounding material conditions and economic and social inequity are the most massive hurdles between a child and their education.

If not, I would have either needed summer school, which ain't free or come back as a repeat senior. No way Jose. I went from 14 credits, to the needed 22 1/2 in 3 quarters.
There were a lot of movies like this back in the day. The Principal, The Substitute, Only The Strong, Dangerous Minds, etc. It was practically it's own genre.
I never got why the dude selling the drugs in the beginning walked in the school? Was he a teacher selling drugs or just a drug dealer that was just walking the school halls? This movie wild as hell
I'm assuming it was just an adult drug dealer casually walking the halls during school hours. That's how poorly the school's security is that anyone can walk in, that's kinda disturbing lol
Joe Clark was pretty nuts IRL but this movie is insane. It’s like a racist’s fever dream. Also, I’m working with a school that the state took over, (put into receivership), which means the school failed to meet certain benchmarks over so many years so the governor appoints someone with authority over the superintendent. It’s not a great system - more money comes into the school to meet state goals, but, like in this movie, the goals are always test score based, not, “is the school actually better?” Anyway, yes, that is something that happens, unfortunately.
I meet him IRL when I was a kid and he wasn’t “nuts”, he was actually a cool guy. He was always trying to motivate people and spoke like he was giving a speech all the time. RIP to Mr Joe Louis Clark
Glad you did this one. And yeah, one year after the real Joe Clark resigned and less than two years after the film was released, the state came in and took control of the school. And since they weren't actually threatening to take over in the first place, I think we can assume they got the idea from the movie. Have to say I never noticed Candyman was in the movie XD
@@desmondclark3193 Schools are within districts and each district has their own leadership group (superintendent and his/her employees). And those districts control how schools within their districts are ran/operated. When the state takes over a school, the district no longer has a say in how that school is ran/operated. The state itself now controls all of that. Including funding.

I know right? Aren’t schools there to teach kids? Why shut it down because the kids aren’t learning, that seems counterintuitive at best. Besides why the fuck to test scores matter so much, they’re arbitrary. Some kids are just bad at taking tests.
@@nootnewt3 They weren't going to shut it down. The state was going to take it over. And exam results are one thing but kids should be at least able to read the tests.
Someone could watch this movie, think all 'inner-city' schools need tough love and discipline branded under the lense of personal accountabilty instead of support from public programs, then write off Black people under their perception of them not trying hard enough. It's a Reagan era movie.

I remember watching this in 9th grade and some girl behind me said she wanted to go to a school like what they showed in the opening scene. It was weird. Telling that boy to off himself was jarring as well.
My question is as it always has been.... Where was PTA Villian Lady when the school was crappy? Where was this energy!?!?! She waits until someone else cleans up the school to start fussing...
The janitor part had me cracking up cause I said the same thing as a kid. Also when the teacher was getting his head smashed in I asked my father if high school was this bad? He said YUP! And I didn’t find out he was joking till I was in 7th grade
@@dajonikbickham9162 Men of Vizion was actually already an existing group from Brooklyn, a quintet. They had disbanded, then three of the guys from Riff joined the remaining members and they performed and recorded as Men of Vizion. After that ended, the guys from Riff reunited.
Another fun fact: They actually arranged those harmonies to the revamped school song themselves, not the music teacher apparently. Also, prior to going by the name Riff, they were known as The Playboys, the name Principal Joe Clark gave them.
The end part when he said he of course they passed because he kicked out half the kids. It reminds me of the family guy episode when they kick Chris out so their test scores would improve.
a common tactic instead of actually doing the work to HELP all the kids who can be helped it's a way to get funding, AND to do it in the ridiculous timeframes they're often given smh **mom was an educator and admin**
But that in itself contradicts his whole message of pull yourself up by your bootstraps and makes him a hypocrite. In the face of adversity instead of doing the hard work of improving test scores he took the easy way out by simply getting rid of the failing students. yet expects the students themselves to hit their nose to the grindstone and study using no shortcuts.
My uncle actually went to the school like this he told me that the students actually threw a teacher into a trash can and they would be making wine in the lockers.
This movie is telling of the times as it was released in early1989. The crime rate had steadily increased since the late-1960s and would continue rising to all time highs until the mid-1990s. The music group N.W.A. was exploding in popularity and were more controversial than any other. Crack dealers and users were the face of the war on drugs. Even politicians who were considered soft on crime advocated heavily for three-strikes laws. Many people (including those who lived in the most violent neighborhoods) looked for any way to curb crime as many felt nothing seemed to work. Primm's inciteful observations are spot on. In the end, the policies that improved schools, neighborhoods and and cities started during the Civil Rights era. When affirmative action legislation was passed, nearly 75% of minorities lived in poverty. Today, less than 25% live in poverty. The movie is reactionary. But in the ultimate bid of irony, the film's supposed protagonist, who served as the loud mouth pushing a tough love approach did little to actually help the students. Instead, it was the professionals who remained committed to their students despite all of the efforts of Joe Clark's character who seemed to get all of the credit. Reminds me of reality.

This movie has a special place in my heart. It was 1989, I was 13, and this was the first movie my cousins and I all went to see without any "grown ups" around "babysitting us" at the Security Mall theatre here in Baltimore, lol. Of course we had a blast (and a big popcorn fight with the other teenagers there.) Great memories! Thanks Primm. Btw, Please do Cooley High!
You brought a tear to my eye seriously! I grew up in Featherbed lane, close to Woodlawn. I used to go to the movies at Security Mall as a kid! My favorite mall was Westview mall because they had the best arcade! When i went Edmunson ave to visit my granny we would go to mondawmin mall! It used to be so dark in there 😂😂😂
im also class of 94 and this made me terrified of going to high school. Im from cleveland so this movie also prepared me for whats to come. I mean, I went to an all black school and the white people use to try and sell me drugs!
When I was in 8th grade back in 2013 I attended a predominantly black middle school in Louisiana. we were all called into the auditorium to wait for each of our test scores to be revealed us as we watched this film (go figure) I distinctively remember laughter among some of my peers at certain parts of the movie but didn't think much of it back then. I found out i passed all my test moved on and now that im older and wiser I cant help but realize that this film was so heavy handed and over the top that the very group of people that this film was aimed towards more than likely found it hilarious to watch. But hey that's just me.
I remember as a kid the opining scene of this movie traumatized me for high school especially the part when they were banging the teachers head into the ground....changed my life "Man I don't think I'm ready for all that " (younger me) Thank you so dang much for the upload i'm over here dying
@@chanelagaintv I’m glad it wasn’t just me 😭😭😭😭Chile I was scared up until the bus pulled up to the school 😭😭😭I was surprised to see normal kids …I was expecting 30 year old lookin niggaz like from the movies
I’m glad you pointed it out. They never explained that lady’s problem in the movie. From what the movie’s showing, Joe Clark was successful but she was on his case.
Me too, I've always wondered who's mother, was she? Was it one of the kids that got kicked out and instead of discussing it with her child she just wanted to take down Joe? Whatever the reason she had a hard-on for taking that man down.
from what i remember, she was just a community member - and didn't even have a kid at the school smh 🤦🏽😂 but it's possible she wanted the position for herself? or someone she knew? they didn't really explain, bcz...The 80's, y'know
I thought her son was the one who got kicked out the one who wanted to go to the “Air Force” ? just an assumption I made from him being one of the ones they focused on during the kick out scene
This was an entertaining movie, but way over the top. Ain’t no freshman in high school smoking crack then getting clean immediately lol. “You smoke crack don’t ya!” like come now😂😂😂😂
Yeah Batman has come under greater scrutiny and controversy since this movie. And Principal Joe's tactics have been seen as being less effective after the years have went by and people have had time to analyze them.
@Ichijou Miyamoto It's right between that Reagan era contempt for the poor and minorities bootstraps and Clinton era "we're racist and classist because we care" bootstraps.
Yeah, the more I look back at this movie and learn the real history behind it this film is about as fictional as a "biographical" film can be@@j.murphy4884
11:22 getting of drugs and feeling deep DEEP shame is real buddy. When I teach first generation parents English, their main concern is to not fail their children and it's a motivation thing. Parents saying they don't want their kids to know they were crummy students, gradewise, is a secret withheld in order to prevent their kids from thinking they are "just like their parents". Girls mom don't want that.
Im serious man you and AceVane,and maybe RcdWorld really got y'all's finger on the pulse. Thanks for caring enough to keep putting out videos and content that just keep getting better than the one before it. Again thanks brother
When the students were fighting in the beginning, I actually worked as a teacher at a middle school like that, so yeah there are school that are like this. There were students who were 16 in the 8th grade. It was horrible. I am not there anymore, let's just leave it at that. Also PLEASE review Stand and Deliver next.
While you were there, what efforts did you make to improve conditions in the school for students? Because I'm pretty sure those kids could've used someone who would stay and see them as more than violent people.
@@selalewis9189 you don't knoe what this person may or may not have been through. I grew up not too far from this school and i've seen teachers get literally f'd up. By students. I don't appreciate your tone at all. And don't reply, either. Bc I won't.
Principle Joe Clark really was like that in real life, I watched a speech he did back when I was teaching and he was like "The Jews, they wouldnt let them go to Florida, so they got rich and bought the whole damn state!"
Amazing timing and choice of video primm. Fun fact im actually from New Jersey and have met people that went to this high school that the movie is based on. And the opening scene is actually an accurate depiction of how the school was before this all took place so they actually did a good job believe it or not. And the real joe clark was actually in fact like this in real life lol. And even though the school is definitely not as bad as this anymore today it is actually still very bad and violent to this day lol.
@@SilkyLew nah its a fact bro that school was in fact exactly like that back in the day, its slightly better now but still a very dangerous school to this day
I remember going to elementary school in Trenton and watching a sixth grader get stabbed 10 times in front of the school. I was only in first grade in 1990.
From jersey as well my moms went to that school and said her and my aunts and uncle stuck together and mind their own business and made it out just fine but it’s crazy how a school could get that bad
I used to love this movie as a kid and recently watched it for the first time as an adult a month ago . I was laughing my ass off at the corny 80’s banter 😂🤣😂🤣
I love this movie. I agree with a few things but mostly? This was kind of the motif for a lot of movies during this era...no nonsense figures of authority cleaning up schools and turning students lives around. Wildcats, dangerous minds and the principal followed this formula too. It put butts in seats.
@@JoshTheTechnoShaman oh there's ALWAYS been a ton of exaggeration on Joe Clark. Don't get me wrong...he was a bit of a dickhead but he wasn't NEARLY this effective towards schools being reformed.
Prim I know you feel like the movie was overdramatic with the portrayal of how bad the school was but according to my mom who went to middle school and high school in the 80s at Southwest Philadelphia high school said this is actually very scary accurate
It’s over dramatic … my mom went to school when he was the principal .. it was bad .. but not that bad .. they overdramatized the crime n graffiti … n when I went there some of the teachers where still working there .. they did say he was crazy as hell lol but he really cares
@@reese2354 and I understand that but then again this is still a movie so they have to make it dramatic, and again I’m simply stating my mother‘s experience she said that that betrayal was scary accurate to what attending public predominantly black high schools in the 1980s, like the scene where the boy brings in the drug dealer my mom said she seen that happen so many times. Kids she grew up with doing crack and buying crack from school. But again Her opinion and her experience
Knowing a white man wrote this movie makes a lot of the scenes and lines VERY problematic. I loved this movie as a kid, but watching it now it is pretty questionable
I was in this movie we got paid $50 as extras I was in school #15 up the block plus I lived across the st 😊 so did my cousins and uncles and grandma 🥴 I had a few encounters with Joe. Also met Biz Markie and a cool V in the parking lot. Was outside when Run Dmc performed.

I never got why the dude selling the drugs in the beginning walked in the school? Was he a teacher selling drugs or just a drug dealer that was just walking the school halls? This movie wild as hell
😆😆😆
I'm assuming it was just an adult drug dealer casually walking the halls during school hours. That's how poorly the school's security is that anyone can walk in, that's kinda disturbing lol
Can I say this, as a teacher:
DO NOT TELL YOUR KIDS TO KILL THEMSELVES!!
Ya smoke crack don't ya? You have addiction problems DON'T YA!??
I don’t think you need to be a teacher for this. You just need to be a decent human being.

Straight up 💯
Joe Clark was pretty nuts IRL but this movie is insane. It’s like a racist’s fever dream. Also, I’m working with a school that the state took over, (put into receivership), which means the school failed to meet certain benchmarks over so many years so the governor appoints someone with authority over the superintendent. It’s not a great system - more money comes into the school to meet state goals, but, like in this movie, the goals are always test score based, not, “is the school actually better?” Anyway, yes, that is something that happens, unfortunately.
The American Education system is so fucked up.
Racist's fever dream. That sums it up in a nut shell. Lol
I meet him IRL when I was a kid and he wasn’t “nuts”, he was actually a cool guy. He was always trying to motivate people and spoke like he was giving a speech all the time. RIP to Mr Joe Louis Clark

Glad you did this one. And yeah, one year after the real Joe Clark resigned and less than two years after the film was released, the state came in and took control of the school. And since they weren't actually threatening to take over in the first place, I think we can assume they got the idea from the movie.
Have to say I never noticed Candyman was in the movie XD
Me either, that’s the first time I saw bruh in this film lol
The state took over? What does that mean?
States taking over a school is not a movie based idea. It's been happening for a longggg time across our country. Still does.
@@desmondclark3193 Schools are within districts and each district has their own leadership group (superintendent and his/her employees). And those districts control how schools within their districts are ran/operated.
When the state takes over a school, the district no longer has a say in how that school is ran/operated. The state itself now controls all of that. Including funding.

The idea of shutting down a school that gets bad test scores is… horrifying at best
I know right? Aren’t schools there to teach kids? Why shut it down because the kids aren’t learning, that seems counterintuitive at best. Besides why the fuck to test scores matter so much, they’re arbitrary. Some kids are just bad at taking tests.
They weren't threatening to shut it down, the threat was the state would take it over.
@@nootnewt3 They weren't going to shut it down. The state was going to take it over. And exam results are one thing but kids should be at least able to read the tests.
Someone could watch this movie, think all 'inner-city' schools need tough love and discipline branded under the lense of personal accountabilty instead of support from public programs, then write off Black people under their perception of them not trying hard enough. It's a Reagan era movie.
@JonnyWiles No because they’ve never been properly funded, this not the gotcha u think it is
Charter school philosophy is based off this I swear
@@MyMyManMelo_ and the charter school kids don’t behave any better than the general public school ones despite the funding. You can’t fund personal accountability and ambition. I’ve seen kids do more with less. Go to the those underfunded schools and make the best of themselves
And they haven't been funded because nobody cares for children anymore.Thats the tough reality
It's pretty much reality

Today I learned that the writer of this movie also was a writer for the first three Call of Duty games.
My dad went to eastside high and graduated the year before the principal came. He said it obviously wasnt this bad but it was terrible he saw some CRAZY shit. Including students beating teachers asses.
I even have his old year book where he had written which students had died and how and such.
He(my dad) also said he was one of like 5 white students in the school
@@joebubba1220 I knew east side had some dark side but when Hollywood made up like it was a crazy school was nuts but I glad some people say it wasn’t that bad…
I heard crazy shit to I heard there were brawls every other day niggas selling crack and coke kids getting stabbed etc my uncles went there to before Joe Clark and my other uncle was one of the extras for lean on Me
@@Du808-o8k Holland will ofc exaggerate the shit out of everything but all of this fucked up stuff did happened in a realistic way
I remember watching this in 9th grade and some girl behind me said she wanted to go to a school like what they showed in the opening scene. It was weird. Telling that boy to off himself was jarring as well.
My question is as it always has been.... Where was PTA Villian Lady when the school was crappy? Where was this energy!?!?! She waits until someone else cleans up the school to start fussing...
Always
She a Karen
The janitor part had me cracking up cause I said the same thing as a kid. Also when the teacher was getting his head smashed in I asked my father if high school was this bad? He said YUP! And I didn’t find out he was joking till I was in 7th grade
15:54 "You deserve a good principal."
"We don't want a good principal!"

Fun fact: The guys singing the school song were a real life R&B group called “Riff”
Yup. Shout out to Riff from Paterson, NJ.
I didn't know that.
Then some members became Men of Vizion. I didn’t know they were an actual group when Lean on Me was filmed. Very talented
@@dajonikbickham9162 Men of Vizion was actually already an existing group from Brooklyn, a quintet. They had disbanded, then three of the guys from Riff joined the remaining members and they performed and recorded as Men of Vizion. After that ended, the guys from Riff reunited.
Another fun fact: They actually arranged those harmonies to the revamped school song themselves, not the music teacher apparently. Also, prior to going by the name Riff, they were known as The Playboys, the name Principal Joe Clark gave them.
"Jump off the roof then, its your fault....or something"
YOU KILL ME!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
The end part when he said he of course they passed because he kicked out half the kids. It reminds me of the family guy episode when they kick Chris out so their test scores would improve.
Or like when charter schools expel students who aren't achieving so they can boost their test scores. Real life stuff.
a common tactic
instead of actually doing the work to HELP all the kids who can be helped
it's a way to get funding, AND to do it in the ridiculous timeframes they're often given smh
**mom was an educator and admin**
But that in itself contradicts his whole message of pull yourself up by your bootstraps and makes him a hypocrite. In the face of adversity instead of doing the hard work of improving test scores he took the easy way out by simply getting rid of the failing students. yet expects the students themselves to hit their nose to the grindstone and study using no shortcuts.
My uncle actually went to the school like this he told me that the students actually threw a teacher into a trash can and they would be making wine in the lockers.

This and dangerous minds was what our school used to play for us all the time. As soon as we saw the cart with the tv on it we knew what was up.
😄😄😄😄 I remember those days, right up until they started putting the TV's on the wall.
This movie is telling of the times as it was released in early1989. The crime rate had steadily increased since the late-1960s and would continue rising to all time highs until the mid-1990s. The music group N.W.A. was exploding in popularity and were more controversial than any other. Crack dealers and users were the face of the war on drugs. Even politicians who were considered soft on crime advocated heavily for three-strikes laws. Many people (including those who lived in the most violent neighborhoods) looked for any way to curb crime as many felt nothing seemed to work.
Primm's inciteful observations are spot on. In the end, the policies that improved schools, neighborhoods and and cities started during the Civil Rights era. When affirmative action legislation was passed, nearly 75% of minorities lived in poverty. Today, less than 25% live in poverty.
The movie is reactionary. But in the ultimate bid of irony, the film's supposed protagonist, who served as the loud mouth pushing a tough love approach did little to actually help the students. Instead, it was the professionals who remained committed to their students despite all of the efforts of Joe Clark's character who seemed to get all of the credit. Reminds me of reality.

This movie has a special place in my heart. It was 1989, I was 13, and this was the first movie my cousins and I all went to see without any "grown ups" around "babysitting us" at the Security Mall theatre here in Baltimore, lol. Of course we had a blast (and a big popcorn fight with the other teenagers there.) Great memories! Thanks Primm. Btw, Please do Cooley High!
He did Cooley High
You brought a tear to my eye seriously! I grew up in Featherbed lane, close to Woodlawn. I used to go to the movies at Security Mall as a kid! My favorite mall was Westview mall because they had the best arcade! When i went Edmunson ave to visit my granny we would go to mondawmin mall! It used to be so dark in there 😂😂😂
im also class of 94 and this made me terrified of going to high school. Im from cleveland so this movie also prepared me for whats to come. I mean, I went to an all black school and the white people use to try and sell me drugs!
Awww , a popcorn 🍿 fight . 💜🌹
You look like Rick James in your thumbnail.
When I was in 8th grade back in 2013 I attended a predominantly black middle school in Louisiana. we were all called into the auditorium to wait for each of our test scores to be revealed us as we watched this film (go figure) I distinctively remember laughter among some of my peers at certain parts of the movie but didn't think much of it back then. I found out i passed all my test moved on and now that im older and wiser I cant help but realize that this film was so heavy handed and over the top that the very group of people that this film was aimed towards more than likely found it hilarious to watch. But hey that's just me.

I’m glad you pointed it out. They never explained that lady’s problem in the movie. From what the movie’s showing, Joe Clark was successful but she was on his case.
Me too, I've always wondered who's mother, was she? Was it one of the kids that got kicked out and instead of discussing it with her child she just wanted to take down Joe? Whatever the reason she had a hard-on for taking that man down.
@@jadorepixie9191 I bet if she had a child that got kicked out that school, she probably cared less if he never had homework to do.
from what i remember, she was just a community member - and didn't even have a kid at the school smh 🤦🏽😂
but it's possible she wanted the position for herself? or someone she knew?
they didn't really explain, bcz...The 80's, y'know
I thought her son was the one who got kicked out the one who wanted to go to the “Air Force” ? just an assumption I made from him being one of the ones they focused on during the kick out scene
I thought her (the lady from Carmen San Diego game show) son was the one who attacked Kid Ray?

Yeah Batman has come under greater scrutiny and controversy since this movie. And Principal Joe's tactics have been seen as being less effective after the years have went by and people have had time to analyze them.
This movie is painfully of its time.
@Ichijou Miyamoto It's right between that Reagan era contempt for the poor and minorities bootstraps and Clinton era "we're racist and classist because we care" bootstraps.

11:22 getting of drugs and feeling deep DEEP shame is real buddy. When I teach first generation parents English, their main concern is to not fail their children and it's a motivation thing.

And the opening scene is actually an accurate depiction of how the school was before this all took place so they actually did a good job believe it or not. And the real joe clark was actually in fact like this in real life lol. And even though the school is definitely not as bad as this anymore today it is actually still very bad and violent to this day lol.
No way swat haven't been called a few times for that school.

@@SilkyLew nah its a fact bro that school was in fact exactly like that back in the day, its slightly better now but still a very dangerous school to this day

From jersey as well my moms went to that school and said her and my aunts and uncle stuck together and mind their own business and made it out just fine but it’s crazy how a school could get that bad

So the white man who wrote this movie basically acted vicariously through Morgan Freeman?
I love this movie. I agree with a few things but mostly? This was kind of the motif for a lot of movies during this era...no nonsense figures of authority cleaning up schools and turning students lives around. Wildcats, dangerous minds and the principal followed this formula too. It put butts in seats.

Those events might have happened, but not all at the same time everyday.
It’s over dramatic … my mom went to school when he was the principal .. it was bad .. but not that bad .. they overdramatized the crime n graffiti … n when I went there some of the teachers where still working there .. they did say he was crazy as hell lol but he really cares
@@reese2354 and I understand that but then again this is still a movie so they have to make it dramatic, and again I’m simply stating my mother‘s experience she said that that betrayal was scary accurate to what attending public predominantly black high schools in the 1980s, like the scene where the boy brings in the drug dealer my mom said she seen that happen so many times. Kids she grew up with doing crack and buying crack from school. But again Her opinion and her experience
Knowing a white man wrote this movie makes a lot of the scenes and lines VERY problematic. I loved this movie as a kid, but watching it now it is pretty questionable
