Demolition High is a 1996 American direct-to-video action film directed by Jim Wynorski, and starring Corey Haim, Alan Thicke, and Dick Van Patten.[1]

A group of terrorists, led by Luther, take over a high school. While authorities negotiate with the terrorists, a group of students, led by Lenny Slater, lead a revolt in order to prevent a disaster.

Wynorski later recalled "Corey Haim was a nice kid who was totally fucked up in the head. You could see the path he was going down even then. I wish I could have turned him around. But I had to have a paid babysitter with him all the time. Believe it or not, he had to have a babysitter. The kid was in his early 20s and still didn’t have it figured out yet."[2]

Sequel

[edit | edit source]

In 1997, the sequel Demolition University was released with Haim reprising his role as Lenny and Ami Dolenz as Jenny.
