10 Things You Didnt Know About 3 0'ClockHigh

[starbrand]

Three O'clock High is a classic. Brilliant movie.

The principal yelling "DON'T F*CK THIS UP, MITCHELL!" always had me

The sweet FJ40 Toyota Land Cruiser was mine and alot of my friends and I were extras. It was fascinating to see the behind the scenes of how a movie is made. I a few years later I wish I had never sold the Land Cruiser. It’s also fun to see through social media where a lot of the kids ended up in life like careers, families and where they live today. I’d love to go back to those simpler days.

Thank you Minty for doing this. One of my favorites of the 80s.

This was a movie I enjoyed as a kid so many great movies in my early childhood life.

I stood up to bullies in school. They retreated. But I remember what my bro said don't turn your back on them.

[gdodson]

Absolutely love this film. Saw it multiple times in the theater when it came out, wish others did as well and it had become a big hit.

[rufioquin]

This is such an underrated 80s film. Anyone who went to high school in the 80s or 90s I feel can relate to this on some level, even if you didn’t have someone who wanted to kick your ass, or just bully you a little even. Just waiting for that clock to get to 3:00.

The protagonist’s best friend reminds me of a cross between Wednesday Adams and Lydia Deetz.

This is a criminally underrated movie.

Thanks for doing this minty. This film ranks amping my top 3 teen movies of the 80’s. It’s a bit exaggerated in a typical teen day at high school but not so much that it “couldn’t” happen. There are no werewolf’s, time traveling, touring Chicago on a fake sick day. Just a boy and a bully.

Buddy I swear was the perfect bully. His looks, eye contact and even voice was spot on. The actor did extremely well!!

Great movie!!!

What a great flick. Loved watching this movie as a kid. Held up too!

[crakatoot]

Richard Tyson was SO good in this as Buddy. And in Kindergarten Cop too. Ok the guy is no Brando but as a villain he had such a presence and menace to him. That scene in Kindergarten when he telling his son how much in loves him and then Immediately shifts to using him a hostage, is terrifying. A shame he isn’t more well known.

[joshjhutton]

This film is so underrated. Better known actors might have made it more well known, but the casting was perfect.

[MrWoodMan]

The fight scene at the end of this movie just made this so much bigger. The anticipation, trying to find a way out, and ultimately Jerry facing his fear, this fight. He faced Buddy straight ahead. And Buddy ended up getting his dose of bullying at the end of this.

[davidsinferno]

Such an underrated gem, good job minty once again you never disappoint!

[bigkmoviesandgames]

Buddy Ravel can actually be seen as something of an unwilling villain. What I mean by that is he's clearly a very smart character and simply wants to be left alone and people just won't do that, thus he has to bring out his more villainous side.

[markbrowning]

Home run with this one, Minty. Nice.
Despite all of the exaggerated happenings and the questionable motives and the inconclusive results, this movie 100% nailed down the angst of what Jerry, or anyone who has been in his shoes, would be internally going through.
This is a great movie.

[kforcer]

The style of Parker Lewis Can't Lose was highly influenced by Three O'Clock High. It was probably the single biggest influence on the show.

[hareofsteel]

This movie is so good and under-rated. It's actually got great cinematography too. Thanks for doing this.

An apartment complex I lived in in the 80’s had their own movie channel that they played 3 or 4 movies on repeat for weeks at a time.

This movie was one of them. So I watched this movie like a 100 times. Loved it.
