Three O' Clock High (1987)

Three O' Clock High Movie Poster
J

erry Mitchell.

Just another high school nerd. Pretty normal life.

But today, his car has a flat tire, he's late for school, and the student store cash register won't open.

But that is nothing...

There's a new student on campus: Buddy Revell. -A guy that's been in over 20 fights and won 'em all. Beat up his teacher, pulled a knife on his football coach, and most important, DOES NOT like to be touched by anybody, AT ALL.

Well, guess what? Jerry has been given an assignment to interview Buddy and write an article for the school newspaper about him. He meets Buddy in the bathroom and talks to him, but makes a BIG mistake. Yep, he touches him.

Now Buddy just challenged him to a fight in the parking lot when school ends at 3:00. Unfortunately, Jerry is real short and has never been in any fights.

Uh-oh!

Poor Jerry. For the rest of the day, he tries everything to get out of the impending death sentence... Soon it will be 3:00.

Can Jerry win?

You'll just have to find out! This movie is hilarious! It is laugh out loud funny. You gotta see it! It's too cool to pass up!

Don't wait till 3:00! See it now!

Don't forget that Three O' Clock High is now available to order on Widescreen DVD using our special 80s Retro Assistant...

Richard Tyson, who plays Buddy Revell in the film, has had a very diverse career.

In that movie he played a rough, muscled carnival worker who seduces Sherilyn Fenn. -Thanks to Patrick Peeters

Casey Siemaszko also played in "Biloxi Blues" with Matthew Brodrick. -Thanks to April Amos

Casey Siemaszko was also cast (alongside John Malkovich and Gary Sinise) as the ranch owner's mean and bossy son in the remake of "Of Mice And Men", a short story by the famed novelist John Steinbeck.

If you watch closely at the end of Three O' Clock High when the kids are buying the loose-leaf notebook paper to save Jerry, one of the first kids that comes up to the counter is a teenage (and long-haired) Brian Andrews (credited as 'Nerdy Kid') who played Tommy Doyle in John Carpenter's original 1978 movie Halloween. -Thanks to John Sullivan

Voytek Dolinski was not a made up character name. He was a drama teacher and later the actual Dean of Discipline at Phil Joanou's high school alma mater, La Canada High School.
