Did you know the director of Class of 1984 did a sequel called Class of 1999 that stars Malcom McDowell, Stacy Keach, and Pam Grier that's about how the teachers are replaced by cyborgs due to the school making a deal with an evil corporation? Malcom McDowell plays the principle who basically sees the cyborg teachers outright murder the kids and he is confronts the corporate people about it, but then the evil corporate guy who is an albino with a massive mullet is like "The program is running as intended!" And McDowell just walks off scene visibly dismayed that he is a highly billed actor in the film Class of 1999.

This happens like four or five times before he figures out the plot of the movie that was explained to him in the opening scenes of the movie. It's a campy stupid movie but pretty watchable due to almost everyone over acting and Stacy Keach playing a cyborg teacher that spanks kids who peak up so hard that they can no longer walk. Also it's weirdly good looking, like not Terminator 2 good or anything like that but the cyborg effects at the end of the movie pretty decent.

Finally, in 1994, a different "creative" team did Class of 1999 II: The Substitute (no relation to The Substitute series of films of which there were three) starring Sasha Mitchell (the bad guy in like 20349852343209 kickboxing movies from the 80s). Nick Cassavetes and Rick Hill (Deathstalker himself) are also featured prominently.

EDIT: So the crack whore is supposed to be in highschool right? Because if so...this is a scene wherein teenagers rate another teenager in terms of her ability to be a crackwhore and test her accordingly, after which the main villains' girlfriend takes her off screen to have underage lesbian sex

He was actively doing soundtrack music and appearing in films during this period, yeah. The "accepted" soundtrack for genre films in the 80s was also generally either electronic like what Carpenter would do or metal, which meant you got lots of Alice Cooper as well as Dokken doing music for Nightmare on Elm Street films and stuff like that. There were WAY more soundtracks with metal bands than good punk stuff, but there were also notable exceptions like the incredible soundtrack for Repo Man, which as a film would make an excellent double feature with Class of 1984.

The movie has no idea how the justice system works. Assaults, organized crime, and eventually a quintuple homicide go essentially uninvestigated because... reasons.

It's a callback to an earlier scene. Also, law enforcement was shown throughout the movie to be operating at near complete incompetence

That is something I loved about the movie, how raw it is. No punches pulled, no allusions to things, just straight up murder, drug use, skinned animals, dismemberment, rape, it's all so wonderfully trashy and not done with any kind of ironic filter to it.

The punk look was great too, it's a style I've always loved stuff like the hair cuts and fingerless gloves reminded me a lot of the "tough" kids in the neighborhood. Who, looking back, were just a bunch of douchebags, but aren't they all?


Feels like Suburbia or Return of the Living Dead would make a good double feature.

Yeah I know, that's what I'm saying with all those assaults they couldn't prosecute because it wasn't on film with 20 eyewitnesses or something. Also there's no mention of juvenile detention in this at all.

When taken to the screwball extreme you get Troma's Class of Nuke 'em High.


And yes, the title is exactly what you think.

The original title for the film was simply; 'Nuke 'Em High'. It was changed in hopes of people mistaking it for Class of 1984.

I still need to see Class of 1984, but if it's the more reserved version of Class of Nuke 'Em High, that's a good enough recommendation for me. Class of Nuke 'Em High is really, really good. Like, even better than The Toxic Avenger and Sgt. Kabukiman, N.Y.P.D.

We really just need to hijack the thread and have it be about the "Urban Terror" genre, which is an entire movie genre that justifies school discipline, vigilantism, private school vouchers, declining public education spending and increased police presence and militarization because of the "fear" of "inner-city" "youth gang" "crime". Everything from this to Death Wish 3 to Robocop.

I can't say I felt particularly deceived by any of their in house stuff. If anything the grandest trick was Toxic Avenger becoming Toxic Crusaders the friendly Saturday morning cartoon series with tie in video game tie ins on the NES/Game Boy Genesis.

Tuff Turf is a good example of this, as are things like Angel, Savage Streets, Massacre at Central High, etc. But at some point you're talking about punksploitation. Or what is The Last American Virgin, or Dazed and Confused? They're kind of those movies, too.

Maybe I'm unclear about who Class of 1984 was made for, but I think that the difference between "Urban Terror" and "Punksploitation" is the audience. "Urban Terror" seems to be aimed more for audiences older than teenagers. For instance, Class of 1984's primary protagonist is Perry King, with the Roddy McDowell scene holding up a classroom viewed as "a honest man pushed too far" instead of "are you a goddamn maniac?", much like Martin Balsam and the residents of the apartment building in Death Wish 3 (in fact, Death Wish 3 has a similar scene where Balsam attempts to leap into action and fails when he misloads his machinegun).

The punks in both are typically viewed as being less than sympathetic. You can have Tim Van Patten, I'll raise you Gavan O'Herlihy, who seems to be channeling Richard Widmark in Kiss Of Death, except now he has a reverse mohawk. You do get outliers, like Tuff Turf and stuff like The Warriors and The Wanderers, who cast the youth or same punk gang members as heroes but essentially make them the least objectionable of the gangbangers. The Warriors look like the guys who could ride a train with compared to the Turnball ACs or the Baseball Furies.

Edit: I forgot, since you brought up Angel, but, holy poo poo is that film creepy, with all these guys running around looking for underage poon. It was really bad when Peter Jason shows up and you're going "Hey, it's the guy from Deadwood" and the first thing that's out of his mouth he's asking is if Angel is under age, because that's what he wants. And don't think that doesn't count, because the whole movie since it plays on "Dads, look out for your daughters" fears (especially with Rory Calhoun and the police detective as stand-ins for that audience) while encouraging them to watch them have sex :pedo:
