      Yes. The only drawback is that we didn't get a few follow-up films... Kimble's married and a teacher. His old partner O'Hara shows up with a case. Or he calls O'Hara with a mystery to solve... that's two films right there!

    One thing I think is easily overlooked by modern audiences is the context of when this film was made. Up to this point, Arnold had done pretty much exclusively action films, like Conan and the Terminator; so his character in the opening sequence, with the trench coat, sunglasses, and shotgun, kicking down doors and busting heads, was straight to type. Suddenly putting him in a kindergarten class wasn't just against type for the character, but for the actor as well, which made it extra funny.

Despite the title and the ad campaign, which make it look like a sweet and jolly fun fest, the movie contains images sure to be terrifying to grade-schoolers, such as a man setting a school on fire, small children kidnapped and terrorized, a father slapping his child, and so forth.

    What I love is how Arnold's character took a trope that the non-James-Bond spy fiction (as in, the semi-realistic spy fiction like Tom Clancy's early-to-middle books) and spy FACT books and accounts (like from the people that inspired Ian Fleming to write James Bond, like the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare from WW2 that had among its members Christopher Lee... and Ian Fleming!) and ran with it. That concept is that you make up as little as possible about your cover as possible so that you don't trip yourself up. Even in James Bond: you'll notice that Commander James Bond, Royal Navy, always posed as banker James Bond of Universal Exports or similar business concerns (well, almost every time). So he was in the family business of being a police officer, he just went with the idea that _teaching_ was his family tradition and adapted it.

Between that and being relentlessly teased by kids who almost certainly didn't know what to do with me any more than I knew what to do with them, school was rough.
      Being diagnosed with ADHD and Asperger's sooner probably wouldn't have helped any, either, considering this was the '80s and '90s. Meds help *now* as an adult, but *way* too many kids were turned into zombies in an effort to get them to sit still and focus.

    I really do love seeing younger generations watching the movies I grew up on! And one of the things I love the most is seeing how much further you've grown than we had. That moment of confusion you had at "he uses the dolls to look up girls' skirts" is strong evidence that while we still have a long way to go, we at least have come long enough away from how bad things were in my childhood, when little boys could not play with dolls at all, and when little boys creeping on little girls was a given, that you just outright didn't understand how on earth that was "a relief"!
    I completely understand what you mean about school supplies. I don't have children myself, but could it be that with computers being such a normal part of life now, pens and pencils might feel less exciting simply because they're just tools to be used when a computer/tablet/phone isn't available? I wonder if they would have strong preferences over what wallpaper they had on their laptop, or if their mouse was wireless, or if their phone case was Spider-man or TMNT! But yes, in my day you wanted to ensure you had the right lunchbox, the right trapper keeper, the right pencils and pens... because you'd be stuck with them for at least a year! I've recently discovered that a lot of younger adults/teenagers can't read cursive anymore, and that was a big thing in very early school - learning to write with a pencil until you 'graduated' to one of those pens that had a bulbous grip that tapered to a blunted narrow tip. Funny the things we remember! I do still use printing for scribbled hand notes regularly, but I can't remember the last time I handwrote anything except my signature. Which makes me wonder now, for the kids that didn't learn cursive... what do they use as a signature?

      That length would be more of a pain to fake than growing it for the shoot, it is too short to have a backing piece for the individual hairs to stick into for it to be more easily applied/removed daily, it being fake would be more plausible if it were a fuller beard.

      I watched this a lot with my dad too. I was 12 when this came out, but it sure was a staple movie at home. He still quotes it a lot. My dad is still around, but who knows for how much longer. I'm glad you also got to enjoy this movie with your dad. ❤

    Im a behavioral health technician & currently I work with a 6 year old (1st grade) & this movie resonates with me a ton when im in the classrooms with these kids. Its true.....you cannot turn your back on them & the amount of patience it takes is a real thing. Without it....forget it. Ive always loved this movie but it means so much more to me now that i do what i do for a living. Its hard and draining at times.....but i wouldnt trade it for anything in the world. Its very rewarding when you finally have a break through with them & they start to understand. Thanks for this one Cassie.

    I always thought the ”put the cookie down, now!!” line from Jingle All The Way would’ve been funnier in this movie

      He almost hits that kind of moment with the boy eating lunches. "Put those lunches down!" would have fit great!
