This film covers an investigation by Lt. Grumman and his partner, Bruno, of a high school chem lab where an accident occurred. This movie was Great in its stupidity and dullness, and in the fact that my biology teacher has an obsession with Bruno. The class enjoyed the fact that the producer’s name was Phillip Gay. I enjoyed the following parts… (Webmistress comments on quotes are added in bold brackets)
“This may have been a high school chem lab, but I could see this was not kids’ stuff.”
There’s a great scene where this kid is trying to relight a gas burner and asks everyone for matches. It cuts away before the kid throws the match into the burner and goes to random shots of students falling out of chairs, off stools, and slipping on the floor. It’s Great!
The chick discussing solutions of hydrogen is hilarious, mostly because nobody talks like that.
The movie talks about taking off jewelry and loose items, and goes to a shot of a girl taking off about twenty or thirty bracelets, and then shows a huge pile of bracelets on the counter next to her. She wasn’t wearing any black, but she was definitely some distant relative of Ailly’s.
“It’s like Mr. [blank] always says: be alert and proceed with caution.” [Ooo…that’s catchy.]
“Spilled acid is dangerous.” [Well, duh.]
“I could see this kid wasn’t going to fall for any cheap tricks.” [Lt. Grumman spent the entire movie saying stuff like this every time he interrogated somebody!]
It turned out at the end of the film that Lt. Grumman and Bruno had gone to the wrong crime scene. No accident had occurred at the lab they visited. They weren’t even at Jefferson High School. Bruno spent the entire film trying to tell Lt. Grumman that they weren’t in the right place but Grumman was too busy playing gumshoe.
