Three O'Clock High

Great quality blu ray of an awesome 80s movie

Jerry Mitchell is given the dubious honour of writing an expose on the new kid in town Buddy Revell. However Buddy's reputation as a total headcase proceeds him and when Jerry finally plucks up the courage in seizing the opportunity to make friends, he makes a big mistake by innocently touching Buddy's arm. Resulting in Buddy taking exception and calling Jerry out at 3pm at the end of school. Will Jerry be able to wriggle out of a certain beating before 3pm or is Buddy gonna add yet another scalp to his long record of classmates he's duffed up...Really good 80's, feel good, teen comedy from America this one. I completely agree with other reviewers in that I cant believe this isn't better known, as it's right up there with the best of 'em. Again, as another reviewer stated, the editing is really well done but I would also say that this is well written, acted and made too, with for my money at least, a great cast of usual suspects, especially with the relentless loner and oddly complex psycho Buddy!In the end, the pay out is pretty much what you'd expect but over all its highly entertaining and has a number of great lines and moments that made me laugh. The lead, reminding me a little of Robert Blake from Electra Glide In Blue and its got John P. Ryan in it, who's always great to watch!The biggest downside to this film being the fact that there wasn't a spazzy kid running round the corridors repeatedly shouting "FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT" when it all kicks off, like there always was in my day.The Region 2 dvd although a decent print is as bare bones as it gets. However I doubt this will ever have the following to generate an extras packed blu ray.4.5/5 stars rounded up.

Had this on videotape, struggled to get it on DVD, by chance i found it on Amazon...Please be aware.. this DVD is not Region 2 {UK etc} but USA & Canada...Fortunately i do have a multi region dvd player...but it may catch a few people unaware of this... [like me!]Nowhere does it say on the Amazon page for this that its only region 1....sort this out Amazon...

This is a kind of forgotten 80s film. It’s not up there with goonies or risky business but it’s still fantastic. It’s Still as good as I remember all those years ago. And tangerine dream hit the mark again with the soundtrack. A great addition to any 80s collection.

The best film ever made

Great film good quality!

This is a must see 80's film! Can't believe this wasn't more popular, def buy it if you are a John Hughes fan, very like some of his 80's films.

Saw this film many years ago and it still carried itself so long later. No flashing effects but just pure fun :)
