“The Principal (1987) was another star vehicle for James Belushi. This fun film is Blackboard Jungle mixed with Class of 1984. The film is filled with a lot of the minor stars of this era such as Lou Gossett Jr., Rae Dawn Chong, Esai Morales and Kelly Jo Minter to name a few.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJ.B.stars as a washed out High School Prep teacher whou0026#39;s personal life begins to fall apart.

Who am I kidding, this is a bone crunching exploitive film that features all of the things that we love about these type of movies. If this movie was made today it would be a P.G.-13 flick. Not a classic but a nice exploitive affair.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRecommended.”
