Kindergarten Cop (1990)

This is an imperfect-but-creditable movie. Detective John Kimble (Arnold Schwarzenegger) uses aggressive and unconventional methods to fight crime. His efforts to stop a dangerous killer are being thwarted. He is given an undercover assignment, along with a partner, to visit a small town in Oregon and find the criminal’s ex-wife so she can testify against him. His partner is supposed to be disguised as a substitute teacher, but when she falls ill, Kimble must take charge of the unruly classroom.

Exterior scenes of the school were filmed at John Jacob Astor Elementary in Astoria, Oregon. Students and staff were used as extras. The school picnic was filmed at Ecola State Park.
