![]() Scott Cameron,played by Doug McKeon(On Golden Pond), is a kid who hangs around with kids who do drugs. ![]() This TV movie really shows how drugs will effect the lives of all who take it and the family members who lose someone to drugs. Thank you Helen Hunt for jumping through the window and trying to cut your arm off with a piece of glass!!! this movie may have saved my life! I always tell people that this is the reason I didn't ever do drugs but no one believes me. ![]() How funny that others had the same reaction. Perhaps it was my formidable years but it really worked for me. I wish there was a way to show this to kids today but they may laugh at it. i was always afraid I would have the same reaction of thinking my arm was a snake. However, I always remembered Helen Hunt going through the window and have thanked her ever since for my wise choice to abstain. Not to mention I was exposed to EVERYTHING you can imagine. Yes, it would probably be cheesy if it were showed today but it really did work for me. I remember when I saw it, it scared me so bad I cried. I freaked out when I saw it as old sleepless nights came flashing back. ![]() I never knew the name of the movie until I watched an old episode of Saturday Night Live when she hosted and showed that scene as a spoof. This movie scared the you-know-what out of me!!! i remember seeing it when i was about 11 years old and i will NEVER forget the scene of Helen Hunt jumping out of the window. I mean, you knew kids were doing drugs in high school but for the counselor to go through all their lockers during an assembly, then emotionally storm into the assembly and light the drugs on fire was way over the top! As far as the poster who mentioned Helen Hunt and her scene being deleted during her better times, actually, I remember when she hosted "Saturday Night Live" in the early 90's, after she had her comeback hit with "Mad About You." She did a clip where she was doing something and then she walked over to a window, then the next shot was the inserted footage from this movie where she has her "PCP freak-out scene" and goes through the window! It was pretty hilarious! Anyway, those Afterschool Specials always meant well! I remember that it was quite bad acting, typical for those ABC After school Specials however, we get to see a young Helen Hunt and Diana Scarwid (post "Mommy Dearest"), in all her over-acting! It doesn't come across quite humorous and unrealistic at many points. ![]()
