Overview
Rebel without a cause or a clue at an elite but uptight college discovers some of his classmates have formed an even more elite clique more or less hell-bent on ridding the school, and quite possibly American society, of what they deem to be its undesirables because of ethnicity, politics, etc. Our hero recruits a teacher and some other “less desirable” classmates to undermine the elitists, and, naturally, things get quite violent.

Viewing Notes
The fourth movie at BTSNAT 4, my pick!! Figured it was time to bring a little Pyun into the mix and a film I’ve always adored. Still works for me as a thriller and class warfare. Amazing soundtrack.
Here’s what Micah wrote about it:
The next flick of the night was one that Jay brought. It’s an Albert Pyun action/revenge/drama movie starring John Stockwell. I *really* liked this one. A bunch of upper-class students form a revenge/monitor squad to squelch JD-related incidents at their school. They get, not unexpectedly, out of hand. The lead has to try and navigate the system while avoiding their wrath. Very solid action/drama flick that has never been on DVD. It spawned our favorite phrase of the night: “Hey, I was at a ska festival!”
