A Brooklyn high school science teacher is stabbed by a failing student and relocates to Los Angeles to work as a substitute, where he clashes with a gang of taggers whose escalating violence drives the film toward a tragic Russian-roulette confrontation. (Wikipedia) Directed by Kevin Reynolds, the film stars Samuel L. Jackson and John Heard; Warner Bros. released it July 30, 1997.
Watches
- Unidentified watch
- Worn by Samuel L. Jackson as Trevor Garfield. Trevor Garfield's watch is a materially contested identification between two prop-auction records, neither corroborated by a legible scene frame. Propstore's own lot describes its prop as "designed and branded by production to resemble a real-world Rolex Oyster Perpetual," not a genuine Rolex, with a faux alligator-skin strap and a metal bezel and back. (Propstore) Planet Hollywood Vault separately auctioned a plain wristwatch reading "TIMEX / INDIGLO" on the dial, with a silver-toned elastic stainless-steel band, describing it as acquired directly from Icon Productions, the film's own studio. (Planet Hollywood Vault, archived) The two props share nothing in common: a faux-Rolex dial on leather versus a real Timex Indiglo dial on a metal expansion band. The cataloged frame shows only a sliver of metal case edge below the cuff, not enough strap or dial to split them.
