A 1990 movie written and directed by Allan Moyle and starring Christian Slater, Pump Up the Volume features the exploits of Mark Hunter, a recent transfer to Hubert Humphrey High in Arizona, where he spends his days as a moping teenager and spends his nights running a pirate radio station under the moniker Happy Harry Hard-on.While entertaining the locals, his show becomes more political as he takes on the local school over injustices done toward the local student body. He goes from an underground favorite to a controversial figure overnight, however, when one of his call-in guests claims to be contemplating suicide... and then actually does it after hanging up on Harry.The film underperformed at the box office, but has become a cult favorite since its release. In the long term, it's perhaps most notable for featuring the debut of Samantha Mathis and its soundtrack, as well as an early performance by Seth Green. | |

Chekhov's Gun : We see Nora's red letter in the very first shot of the film, and it's later the way she identifies him. Also, Mark finds the letter from Deaver in his dad's office several scenes before he reads it on the air. | |

Censorship Bureau: The F.C.C. form up a Stern Chase posse during the final act. The Principal tries her hardest to be this, but it becomes increasingly notable to the ones looking that she is just escalating her fascist methods and stopping to bother with covering them up. | |

Dean Bitterman: Principal Crestwood, of the two-faced and thoroughly illegal methods variety. If she feels for any reason a student will ruin her school's GPA or SAT average record, she will find some way to get them kicked out, even if that means passive-aggressive bullying of the establishment or just looking the other way while they are harassed. | |

Deaver might get a bit of a Heel–Face Turn at the end, when Brian Hunter confronts Ms. Crestwood about her illegal and unethical activities. It seems that his decision to expel Cheryl might have been intended to help her, and he didn't know how far Crestwood had gone in her actions - or maybe he just knows the scheme is about to be exposed, and he's trying to make himself look better. | |

Clark Kenting: Mark needs glasses and seemingly can't speak above a mutter, which initially convinces Nora that he can't be Harry. Subverted at first in that this really is Mark's personality, and "Harry" is an act he is putting on (Nora's first clue is the books he returns to the school library, which are a recipe for a character like Harry), but later he seems to have come out of his shell and truly become more (though not completely) like Harry. | |

Slimeball: Deaver the guidance counselor is a creep who takes orders from Crestwood to validate the expulsion of "undesirable" students while pretending to care about them. Crestwood herself is a whole lot worse (not only creating this policy (and enforcing it through flat-out illegal means) in order to get better grades and thus up the school's funding, but she calls the expelled students "losers" when confronted about this). Deaver might get a bit of a Heel–Face Turn at the end, when Brian Hunter confronts Ms. Crestwood about her illegal and unethical activities. It seems that his decision to expel Cheryl might have been intended to help her, and he didn't know how far Crestwood had gone in her actions - or maybe he just knows the scheme is about to be exposed, and he's trying to make himself look better. | |

Open-Minded Parent: Mark's parents are such stereotypical baby boomers that it's vaguely ridiculous, but they're absolutely delighted at the idea that Mark has been sneaking Nora into the house under their noses. Of course, at the time they find out, they A. think Mark's the pirate DJ they're hearing about on the news, so it beats the alternative, and B. have been pushing him to try and have more of a social life at his new school - a cute girlfriend is a major step in that direction. It could also be interpreted that they had been worried about Mark being gay, although this isn't stated. | |

A young teacher, her classes are conducted in a relaxed and casual manner, and she seems to have a friendly and supportive relationship with her students (seemingly an exception to the rule at HHH). She is genuinely entertained by Hard Harry's broadcasts, and is even fired for standing up for a former student being physically assaulted by another member of the faculty. | |

Can't Stop The Signal | |
| Pump Up the Volume / int_f93f10e | comment |
Can't Stop The Signal: The very last scene is Mark being arrested by the police... and a number of teenage Buccaneer Broadcasters starting to broadcast (encouraged by Mark/Harry and his "speak up!" last speech) throughout America as the film fades to black. | |

Eating Lunch Alone | |
| Pump Up the Volume / int_fe5c7660 | comment |
Eating Lunch Alone: Used as a way to highlight Mark's isolation in his school. Also a plot point, as it allows Nora to identify him, in the stairwell. | |
