(Yahoo Entertainment) It’s not a toomah — but it is apparently canceled, at least from one Portland drive-in screening series.
Kindergarten Cop, the quotable 1990 hit comedy starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a detective who poses as a teacher to apprehend a dangerous drug dealer, has been removed from its opening night slot at Portland’s Northwest Film Center’s Cinema Unbound Drive-in Theater after criticisms that it plays a “school-to-prison pipeline” for laughs and “romanticizes over-policing in the U.S.”
The charge was led by local author Lois Leveen, who took to Twitter Saturday to call out the film ahead of its planned screening, which was scheduled to kick off the film series on Thursday.
