Hollywood High Gangsters

Warning: Spoilers
So much for 3:15. I've come to the party 2 hours late, as it's five in the afternoon when watching this.

The movie starts out with a family-sized pizza assaulting an innocent bystander while a confused St. Vincent De Paul gang from the 50s meets what looks like a fun-loving family gang from The Happy Days, and the two eras fail to get along, resulting in conflict. Oh, wait, Happy Days was centered around the 1950s, too. My bad. So then Milwaukee didn't get along with LA then.

Lincoln High looks like Elmore Junior High.

Ron Weasley is bullied upon arriving at Elmore and robbed of his Harry Potter glasses.

It's what's-his-name from EYC again: Dave Loeffler. I only watched him not long ago in "To Be the Best."

Man, what's wrong with "3:15?" The school looks like it's been molded from Hollywood High but is trying to be Brandel; the graffiti was spray-painted by 8-year-olds; the students all look like actors waiting in the unemployment line; and why would these 4 preppy white kids be attending this dump in East LA when they live over in Bel Air? They all drive from Palm Springs to attend Brandel? Come on!

What's-her-name is still wearing the same red dress from "Tuff Turf."

Stitch Jones graduated from Elmore and jumped straight into "Heartbreak Ridge" right after this.

These people are all between 30 and 40 years old; why are they attending high school?

So, the St. Vincent De Paul thugs upgrade to a Carpet Snake tribe and operate some banking business where they invest the students money into a pharmaceutical scheme without the school's approval.

At the 14-minute mark, Taylor Swift is introduced, and it has to be asked again: why is Miss Palm Springs attending Brandel?

Holy hell, who should show up at the 15:38 minute mark but none other than Jeffrey Dahmer himself. He heads up a surprise raid to shake down the bankers who are corrupting the majority of Elmore High's students so the Green Tree Snake gang is all rounded up for unethical practices as a result.

I reviewed "3:15" on YouTube a long time ago. I should find the old USB chip and just repeat what I said back then, as I don't think I can make it through this atrocious movie.

The only thing I like about this movie is when Patch, and the hot one who skips, jump out of the van and bash up Frankie Croyden.

"I'm not going to die." What line delivery.

The actor from "Full Metal Jacket" is terrible. He's the reason why this movie fails.

Excuse me, miss? May I be excused? I'm getting an early mark out of this class, people. I'm checking out of "3:15" at the 54-minute mark. Count me out.

I've managed to find my old review from years ago, and here's what I said on YouTube in my now deleted review.

At first I talked about the Canadian movie "I Declare War" and Robert Forster's "Vigilante" and then did unboxing on the side where I assembled a VHS machine and zapped my hand with live audio cables.

"I just watched "3:15," and I'm a little disappointed. Two thumbs down. Do yourself a favor and just watch the far superior Linda Blair movie "Savage Streets" instead."

I'm paraphrasing here.

I mentioned the Taylor Swift and Jeffrey Dahmer parts back then as well.

"This sadly lacks atmosphere because of the main actor. Apparently, due to either daylight saving or GMT time, school is let out at 1pm and the dustup doesn't take place till 3:15 so they have to go home then return to school just for the donnybrook."

The guy from "Full Metal Jacket" was about as appealing as a jacket potato playing extreme sports.

Poor analogy, huh? He's about as appealing as a cold potato salad on a freezing Winter's day.

"Remember that movie "Combat Shock," aka "American Nightmare," where the soldier bakes his baby in the microwave, kills his wife, then blows his brains out? Remember that unemployment line scene in that movie? Is that where they got the cast for "3:15" from?

"In my conclusion, "3:15" is misleading. The fact that it failed to live up to high expectations means that I've betrayed my own judgment. I'm slipping. I had high hopes for this movie."

"Thievery, trickery, and deception - are these not traits of "3:15" with its misleading design?"

At Lincoln High, the first thing you learn is not to come to school. (What, so you can become a drug peddler instead, like Cinco and his boys?)

"3:15" should act as a prophylactic preventive measure. Heed the message and wear protection against this banal time waster, which infringes on the taste of decency."
