Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Class Act is a 1992 comedy film starring hip-hop duo Kid 'N Play. The film is an urban retelling of the fairy tale The Prince and the Pauper. The main characters are Duncan Pinderhughes, a genius high school student, and Michael "Blade" Brown, a juvenile delinquent.Duncan is getting ready for graduation, but finds out during an interview that despite his perfect SAT score and GPA, Harvard University will not admit him unless he can pass phys. ed. Ex-convict Blade is released from jail, and told by his parole officer that the condition of his release is staying out of trouble and a satisfactory graduation from high school. Having moved to a new neighborhood, Duncan now has to go to Higgins High School to complete his graduation requirements. As both boys encounter one another in the hallway, causing Blade to forcefully push Duncan aside, a mishap results in their pictures being swapped on their school records, causing everyone to think that each is the other one. Thus Blade is placed in Gifted classes, while Duncan is placed in minimal classes with substandard conditions and miscreants for classmates.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })At first both boys are perplexed about their situation, until they learn what has happened. Duncan is eager to tell the Principal what has happened while Blade, on the other hand, decides to use this situation to his advantage, threatening Duncan to pass all his classes, while also trying to give the clumsy genius a new persona to keep his good name and rep intact. Despite the changes in their lives, both boys gradually discover their own untapped skills while continuing the charade. | |

Brutal Honesty: Part of Blade's attitude, in addition to his arrogance and lack of respect for authority, is his curt honesty. Duncan as well, though he's more of an Innocently Insensitive due to his sheltered upbringing: "I think Blade Brown is the biggest asshole on the planet!" | |

Accidental Pervert: Duncan (multiple times). The first time was when Blade sends him crashing through the secretary, Ms. Jackson's, office resulting in him face-planting onto her chest. The second time was Duncan trying to crawl away from danger and ends up face-planting into Damita's chest. Despite this little mishap, Damita asked for Blade's (i.e. Duncan's) phone number, as he leaves his words are jumbled: "See you later da'titty- I mean Damita." When crawling through the vents at the museum, he face-plants into Damita's rump. | |

Traumatic Haircut: As Blade's parole officer, Reichert, stands up to leave he tells Blade that the judge has arranged a special parting gift for him. Blade thinks he will be getting new shoes but it turns out it is a haircut, proceeded by a long drawn out F-Bomb. Upon tossing away Duncan's glasses, Blade pretty much destroys Duncan's Hi-top fade by giving him hairlocs, all the while Duncan is screaming his lungs out. | |

The Family for the Whole Family: Mink and his gang have a legitimately threatening edge to them (as they carry loaded guns and are competent enough to kidnap both Duncan and Wedge, with the latter one being implied), but their execution still leaves a lot to be desired. For starters, after abducting Duncan, they keep him alive throughout the night to threaten and crack jokes at him instead of shooting him then and there, they apparently don't know enough to have extra bullets with them before doing a job, at one point when he tries to escape from the car, Mink's two henchmen get into an argument because the other left his gun in the trunk and they ultimately end up being overpowered by a group of high-schoolers. And let's not even get into their lackluster aiming skills. | |

Duncan "I was the perfect child who learned to share, while Blade was becoming a harden criminal." Tween Duncan exploring the universe with a telescope. Tween Blade peeping through a keyhole as a girl undresses. Duncan received a trophy for academic achievements. Blade received a jail sentence. | |

Upon tossing away Duncan's glasses, Blade pretty much destroys Duncan's Hi-top fade by giving him hairlocs, all the while Duncan is screaming his lungs out. | |

Ephebophile: Ms. Jackson the secretary and Ms. Joanne Simpson the Advanced Latin teacher. As Ms. Jackson was sorting student records, and rubbing the photos on her breasts, she proclaims "Woo! Jailbait!" When Ms. Simpson wants to know more about Duncan (i.e. Blade) she seductively places a single leg on his desk and bites on a piece of candy, she tells him that Latin is the Father of all Romance languages. | |
