SOURCE-Flipper DVD with part 3 on the other side
Yea I had seen pieces of this film on cable tv back in the early 2000s. Just was never something I wanted to sit down and watch in full. Months back for 50 cents I got the 4 pack pictured above that has the full run of this 90s action franchise.
Tom Berringer is a mercenary. His latest mission goes bad and he needs to lie lown for a bit. He heads back to Miami to see his girlfriend. Where he learns the school she teaches at is crime ridden. Marc Anthony,yes the singer,is the leader of a gang. The principal,Ernie Hudson,seems to not be able to do anything about the issues at the school.Tom comes in as a subtitute teacher. Where he bonds with his class by telling them stories from his tour in Vietnam.
Over the top action,a high school so bad you only see it in films. And students that look mid 30s. The perfect blending of action cheese that makes for an entertaining viewing.
Tom just goes nuts,throwing people out windows,beating one guy with a helmet and appears to be having a blast. We get a rare heel turn from Ernie Hudson. Marc Anthony ain't a bad actor.
While not a huge box office hit this film was a vhs and cable hit and why we got 3 more films in the franchise.
The Subtitute gets a C+
