High School High : What movies did HSH spoof?

What movies did HSH spoof?

I'm not sure of HSH is supposed to be a spoof or not, but if it is what movies did it make fun of?

I wanted to say this movie spoofed some of "Lean on me" remember Morgan Freeman character was named Mr. Clark also and he came to a new school as the new teacher. Also the principal in "Lean on Me" was supposed to be strict like Ms. Doyle.

Re: What movies did HSH spoof?

I saw on the back of the dvd cover that the movie also spoofed:

1. To Sir, With Love
2. Dangerous Minds
3. Dead Poet's Society

Re: What movies did HSH spoof?

Thanks for letting me know. I have the DVD and I'll have to look at the cover again. How did it spoof Dangerous Minds? Was it with the students?

Re: What movies did HSH spoof?

Russian Roulette scene = "The Deer Hunter" (1978)

Re: What movies did HSH spoof?

Car racing scene = The Heavenly Kid
Library Fight= The Substitute

Re: What movies did HSH spoof?

Actually, I think it's more like…

Car racing scene = Rebel Without a Cause

Library Fight= Blackboard Jungle

That's what I think anyway.

Re: What movies did HSH spoof?

The funny thing about the Russian Roulette scene being a spoof of "The Deer Hunter" is that the following year, "187" starring Samuel L. Jackson came out. It is a movie in the same vein as the ones that are spoofed in HSH (ie "Stand and Deliver", "Lean On Me", "Dangerous Minds"). Jackson's character meets his end playing a game of Russian Roulette with his gang-member students, an idea the main gang member got from watching "The Deer Hunter". Quite the coincidence.

Re: What movies did HSH spoof?

Basically trying to motivate students at a rough inner-city school. But that could be a lot of movies as well.


Oh stewardess...I speak jive.

Re: What movies did HSH spoof?

That is alot of movies spoofed in one movie.

Re: What movies did HSH spoof?

I think it also parodies "The Principal" (1987), with James Belushi.

Re: What movies did HSH spoof?

The whole concept spoofed dangerous minds....a white teacher from a decent area going to teach at an inner city school, dealing with the kids there and the faculty that were part of the problem why the kids didn't do well.

Re: What movies did HSH spoof?

I gotta watch Dangerous Minds again I haven't seen that movie in a minute. I could have sworn they spoofed parts of Lean On Me.

Re: What movies did HSH spoof?

They also paid tribute to "Blackboard Jungle" and "Rebel without a Cause"

Re: What movies did HSH spoof?

The Principal starring Jim Belushi.
