Anecdotes
Arnold Schwarzenegger has said this is his favorite role of all his movies. It was a departure from his typical action heroes, and he loved working with the children.

Gaffes
As often happens in Hollywood productions, when one fire sprinkler was set off, the others were also. This is not how most fire sprinkler systems work.

To minimize water damage to property, individual fire sprinkler heads are set off by extreme heat or flame, extinguishing the fire on scene.

Running sprinklers in unaffected rooms and halls, would cause excessive damage and reduce water pressure for the important areas, and for any firefighters.

Lowell: It might be a tumor.
Detective John Kimble: It's not a tumor! It's not a tumor. At all!

Versions alternatives
The UK cinema version was cut by 19 secs by the BBFC for a 12 certificate with edits to footage of: a woman being slapped in the face, a head-butt, a man's head being hit against a car door, a baseball attack on a woman being reduced to one hit and the subsequent sight of the bat aimed at her midriff, and a reduction in gunshots (from 5 to 2). The cuts were fully restored in the 15 rated video release.

Wasn't expecting it to work, but it did...

Kindergarten Cop was a surprisingly good film. I was not expecting it to work, and it worked so much better than I expected it to. Kindergarten Cop is a little overlong and the villains are perhaps a little too pantomime. However, the film does look lovely, and the score and soundtrack gives it its heart-warming sentiment.

The script also worked. It was funny, it was poignant and it was well-meaning, while there is also a heart-warming story, good direction and pacing and the action while sometimes intense is well-handled.

I was very surprised by the acting. Kindergarten Cop is not Arnold Schwarznegger's best film, but it does show that he can do comedy, and here he does do it well. He is suitably low-key and avoids being wooden as well. Penelope Ann Miller gives good support as well, and the chemistry between the two is convincing without taking over the film too much. The characters could have easily been stereotypical and unlikeable, but they aren't, instead they have a certain warmth to them, and this is including the kids.

Overall, not a comedy classic, but it works far better than it should have done. 8/10 Bethany Cox
