Kindergarten Cop
Directed by Ivan Reitman
Hard-edged cop John Kimble gets more than he bargained for when he goes undercover as a kindergarten teacher to get the goods on a brutal drug lord while at the same time protecting the man's young son. Pitted against a class of boisterous moppets whose antics try his patience and test his mettle, Kimble may have met his match … in more ways than one. From TMDB

It’s narrated by Dick Van Dyke and stars the kid from Kindergarten Cop who gave us an anatomy lesson. With @horrormoviebbq.bsky.social, @lostchristmaspod.bsky.social, & @sean-cpp.bsky.social!

neutral · AI labelView post →It's also supremely underrated because it is a meta commentary about action movies 10 years before "meta narrative" was a discussion in film schools. Last Action Hero is a great deconstruction of 80s action movies by the director who was responsible for some epic action movies himself, like Die Hard and Predator, so it feels like a reflection on his career. Arnold is also at the start of his speaking roles and isn't afraid of being campy with the material, like Kindergarten Cop and Twins. It's…

However, the kids nailed their parts in the film, acting and talking like kids do! All in all though, it was an okay movie 5/10 I’m the party pooper

neutral · AI labelView post →“Kindergarten Cop” came out in 1990 meaning if the kids in that movie were indeed 5 at the time (they were probably older and it was probably shot a year earlier), then this year those kids will be 40.

Riff off Kindergarten Cop, with Bond riding herd on a collection of unruly but loveable kids being chased by gun-runners. (The film was produced by Albert Broccoli, so they have the rights!)

neutral · AI labelView post →In 1990, Linda Hunt and Penelope Ann Miller starred in Kindergarten Cop. 7 years later, they starred in horror film The Relic which is my horror movie choice tonight. I was 10 when the former came out & 17 when I sat in the theater for the latter. Quite the movie arc for coming of age in the 90s.
