Yup, chris is right.

I enjoyed this movie when they showed it non-stop on HBO.  Haven't seen it in years.  All I remember is the sheets of paper scene and the prominence of brass knuckles.

I can't forget the name of the bald Yul Brenner-esque principal: Voytek Dolinski.  It just SOUNDS like a principal.  I found out years later that Voytek is actually a real first name that is semi-common in Eastern Europe.  

This was a very likeable movie.  It and Ferris Bueller were ripped off and merged to form the TV show Parker Lewis Can't Lose.

It was turning up on the daytime movie on A&E recently. I always liked it, and it has its moments. For me that's saying something, since I was never a big fan of John Hughes teen films or their clones. Good camera work during the parking lot fight, lots of movement and makes the action seems bigger than it really is, but probably how a fight like that would seem to the main character as it was happening to him..
