Favorite Scene?

This movie came out when I was in high school (summer between my freshmen and sophomore year) and I loved it. Watched it the other day and still enjoy it! As a teacher now there is one particular scene that I find hilarious. I love the scene when all the teachers are making attempts to drive out of the parking lot as the vice principal is trying to get someone to teach the class. They've had it and are ready for summer break! Although I love my job as a teacher and so many of us do, I doubt there is a teacher out there that cannot appreciate this scene. Very funny!

I love that scene too. I remember the first time seeing the movie when he said that, I actually thought just a split second prior what he said about the "double negative". Another scene I like is when Wonder Mut finds his toy at the end of the movie. I like that the producers and directors did not forget about that!

The classroom massacre, I'm surprised nobody mentioned it yet.

That's my favorite, too. I watched this on cable a few years after it came out when I was around 13 or 14 and I thought that scene was just genius. It was so unexpected, and I laughed so hard that I almost couldn't breathe. I know it's not the greatest movie of all time but it's funny, genuine and likeable.

As a Rick Baker fan and the one who was the makeup guy (horror and gore) for all our friends for parties that was definitely my favorite. My mom never knew what scary or dead thing she was going to find in my room.

Agreed. The classroom massacre is my favourite, too.

Chainsaw & Dave (brandishing chainsaws) : WE'RE BACK!!!!!

(Sub teacher screams -- right in Gills' ear.)

Chainsaw : IT'S LIKE YOU SAID, GILLS! WE'RE PSYCHOPATHS!!!!!!!!!

The Chainsaw Massacre scene where they scared the crap out of the new teacher LOL

The classroom massacre and Shoop's first day are my favorite scenes.

I liked it when Gills walked in when they were watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre and he asked what were they watching and Shoop said "New Film from the District Safe Use of Power Tools" and in the background you hear Chainsaw say "Do the dance for me baby" as it shows the scene from the movie where LeatherFace is swinging the chainsaw around in the air

The driving practice and driving test scene

[–] lantzn 8 years ago

Yes when after Chainsaw crashed the car, and is chasing the instructor down the street, he keeps switching between foul comments and sincere apologies. LOL

Court house scene. You were a black marine in Vietnam? Lol

Yeah, I was still in high school myself. Do I have a scene I like? Well, when Shoop finally gets angry at the kids and decides to leave because they don't want to learn and all the crap he went through that summer with them that he talks about was a good scene. But this film just sucked to begin with. Not even worth looking at again.

My favorite is definitely the classroom massacre scene. Eliza Jane from little house on the prairie screaming in Gill's ear. The look on his face was priceless when he new it was all a put on lol.

I am not amused! Turn off those motors!
