History YMMV / KindergartenCop

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Anytime we see John bonding with the kindergarteners and Dominic, when he's not in usual badass HollywoodActionHero mode and kicking bad guy butt (or in badass action guy mode and kicking any guy's butt if you also count ''Film/TheTerminator'' where Arnold played the BigBad). However, Arnold's time using his action guy mode in a heartwarming moment is when he confront one of the kindergarteners' parents who is an AbusiveDad, [[PapaWolf beats him up and press charges against him]].

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Tough guy Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger finds himself out of his depth when he has to deal with a class of adorable children: a heartwarming family comedy, right? Well, not really. Between the crackhouse shoot-out that introduces Kimble in all his {{Badass}} glory, to an abusive father getting punched by the hero, to the blue-lipped junkie cold on the slab after being spiked by the villain, to Kimble dreaming of Crisp shooting him, to O'Hara being caught having noisy sex with her fiancé, to Crisp holding his own five year old son hostage, to Crisp getting shot three times in the chest, to Kimble bleeding out in the corner of a bathroom as Eleanor Crisp demands her grandson, the film is definitely not for children. When they reviewed the film on their show, Series/SiskelAndEbert urged parents to take the PG-13 rating seriously.

* JerkassWoobie: Barely, but Crisp towards the end could be considered this. He seriously loves his son and the look on his face shows authentic joy when he confronts him and real sadness when his son doesn't recognize him, leading to a grief-stricken VillainousBreakdown. Yeah, he takes him as a hostage, but he could have just bluffed.

* HeReallyCanAct: Many critics thought this way about ArnoldSchwarzenegger in this film.

** TO DE CAHPET!

** Now I'm going to ask you a bunch of questions... and I want them answered ''IMMEDIATELY''...

* NightmareFuel: The big fire and shootout climax is pretty damn intense.

* AccidentalNightmareFuel: The big fire and shootout climax is pretty damn intense.

* NarmCharm: Arnold's BigShutUp during his first day at school.

* DidNotDoTheResearch: Ferrets were -- and still are, for the most part -- illegal in California. So where did LA cop Kimble get a pet ferret?

** Also, HilariousInHindsight as Arnold, as governor, supported the ban on keeping ferrets as pets.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Be honest: You flat out cheered when Kimble beat the shit out of the [[AbusiveParents abusive father]] and reported him to the police.
-->'''Kimble:''' "You hit the kid, ''I'' hit you."
* CrowningMomentOfFunny:
--> '''O'Hara''': "Not so tough without your car, are you?"
** And...
---> '''Kimble''': "I forgot to introduce myself. I'm John Kimble." ''(pumps shotgun)'' "And I love my car."\\
'''Punk''': "Hey, I was just looking after it for you, man..."
** After reading him the ArsonMurderAndLifesaving speech, Miss Schlowski has one final question for Kimble:
--->"What did it feel like to hit that son of a bitch?"

--> '''Kimble''': "I forgot to introduce myself. I'm John Kimble." ''(pumps shotgun)'' "And I love my car."
--> '''Punk''': "Hey, I was just looking after it for you, man..."

*** Thanks for da tip.
