Trivia Several of the actors are real-life cowboys of North Philly. See more »
Goofs When you first see Cole he is sitting down outside the principal's office with his hands handcuffed behind him and by himself with no authority figure with him. Additionally, he was not tethered to a pole or anything. This is highly unusual. A handcuffed student would not be left outside of a room unintended, especially in a situation where they can easily get up and leave. See more »
