After a botched mission in Cuba, professional mercenary Shale and his crew Joey Six, Hollan, Rem, and Wellman head home to Miami, Florida, where Shale is reunited with his fiance Jane Hetzko, who is a history teacher at Columbus High School in Miami. Some of Jane's students happen to be members of a street gang known as the "Kings of Destruction" (KOD), led by Juan Lacas, who has been terrorizing Jane. After Jane's kneecap is broken by a big seminole named Bull, she tells Shale that she believes Lacas ordered the attack, so Shale goes undercover as Jane's substitute, and initially, Jane has no idea that Shale is doing this. At the school, Shale meets principal Claude Rolle, librarian Hannah Dillon, and english and drama teacher Darrell Sherman. It turns out that Lacas is one of Jane's students. As Shale investigates the attack on Jane, he discovers that drugs are being circulated into the school. Shale even investigates local drug kingpin Johnny Glades, who may or may not have someone...

Given the Social Justice rhetoric, they will never be able to make a movie like this again. That's sad. - @Wednesday, September 5, 2018 1:15 AM

I remembered this movie from when I was a kid and my parents rented it. I didn't understand the movie at the time of course but I rediscovered it as an adult. It's one my go tos when I'm in the mood for a cheesy action movie. Anybody know if the sequels or any good. I don't know that there isn't any real continuity between them but I'm curious. - @Monday, March 27, 2017 12:14 AM

Diane Venora who was Tom Berenger's woman was Al Pacino's wife in the classic movie Heat with Robert Deniro, Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore, Mykelti Williamson, Dennis Haysbert and Danny Trejo. Tom Berenger has done some good movies like Someone To Watch Over Me, Major League 1 and 2, Platoon, Body Language(Heidi Schanz is hot in this and Tom has sex with her even though she's married to Robert Patrick who was the bad guy in Terminator 2 with Arnold Schwarzenegger LOL)and Shoot To Kill with Sidney Poitier and Kirstie Alley. He's also done several Sniper sequels and I haven't seen them. I wanna see them. - @Tuesday, November 24, 2015 9:57 PM

The Substitute was a good movie and I like Tom Berenger, Ernie Hudson, Glenn Plummer. Marc Anthony who was Jennifer Lopez ex-husband was the bad guy. I love Mack 10's Hoo Bangin song that's on the soundtrack. - @Wednesday, January 7, 2015 10:08 PM
