Review of The Principal (1987) by Scott G — 15 Jan 2007

Loose-cannon high school teacher Rick Latimer (James Belushi) is "promoted" to principal of Brandel High -- the toughest school in Berkeley, Calif. But no worries: He speaks loudly and carries a big stick (a baseball bat, actually).

And he'll need it when he comes up against Victor (Michael Wright), a young tough who can make even the teachers cower. Gossett and Belushi make a great team in this movie. Good story line and some exciting scenes to keep you interested.

Louis Gossett Jr plays the head of security and together they team up to clean the school out of all violence and crime.
