I've never seen either of these movies. I am a bad, bad 80s child.
Just think about it. Would you want your world changed in Saturday detention, or blow up the school?
You've all heard my rants about my horrid experience with Public School. Honestly, I don't think a Breakfast Club situation would have been possible, not with the kids I knew. I'm old enough now to recognize that they must have had their own issues, but part of me still wonders. I believe my class was just on the cusp of the school violence that manifested in the late 90s/early 2000s.
I wasn't there anymore, but I remember hearing about a girl being pushed down the cement stairs that led down to the locker rooms and consequently breaking her leg because another girl THOUGHT she was GOING to steal her boyfriend. This was in 8th grade. I also heard and saw the infamous walkout-- the 8th graders left the school as a body and walked downtown in a junior version of an angry mob. They tried to lay siege to the elementary school (why, I don't know), kicking over trash cans and committing minor vandalism along the way. I remember being not just verbally abused, but physically, by both the boys and the girls.
I'm not sure hanging around for high school would have been an improvement.
Would I like a BC situation? Heck yeah. But I'm not sure it's entirely possible. I have to say, had the Geek Squad hung around...well, we weren't the black leather types, but things might have been interesting.
