Light It Up

The characters of the film actually parallel the students from The Breakfast Club (1995). Rosario Dawson's character is the perfect, well behaved good student (Molly Ringwald), Fredro Starr and Clifton Collins both play the criminal troublemaker (Judd Nelson), Usher plays the jock (Emilio Estevez), Sara Gilbert plays the unpopular reject girl (Ally Sheedy), while Robert Ri'chard plays the naive runt (Anthony Michael Hall). Ironically, Judd Nelson who played troublemaker John Bender in The Breakfast Club appears in the movie as a straight-laced teacher.

At the beginning of the movie, Stephanie is tapping a purple pen on her notebook when the ceiling leaks and a close-up of her hand is shown to let us see the water. In the close-up she has a pink pen, then it cuts back to her holding the purple pen. This was fixed on the DVD but it remains on the VHS version of the movie.
