i haven not see this in year but when i be about 6 i first saw this on vhs and i must have watch it at least 10 time . now like i say it be awhile so i might screw up the plot but i remember some columbian terrorist take a prep school hostage with demand for the head terrorist ( the wishmaster ) father to be release from prison . now i could just check the plot here on imdb but i be pretty sure thats right . any way and a group of boy at the school decide that theyre not gon na just sit around and wait to die so they decide to fight back . this film have always be stick in my mind . there be so many image that i haven not forget like joey ( i think . ) death scene or billy spit in the terrorist sandwich or the one kid ( no idea of his name ) fake asthma attack . just a great film . it may be film like this that have give me my tolerance for film violence because if i remember right this movie be pretty graphic . guy get mow down by helicopter machine gun and a special force guy hand get blow off by a grenade ( not sure about that but i seem to remember something like that towards the end ) and the most bloody be the lead terrorist get cap in the head in gory detail . great action and great humor and good acting and wonderful film experience . i have get to watch this again after all these year .
