In 1992, there were 543,767 violent incidents in American high schools. In some cities, the areas around these schools were beginning to fall under the control of violent youth gangs. By 1997, the number of violent incidents had tripled. Gangs had taken control of large sections of these cities. Some schools were shut down. The year is 1999. The gang-controlled areas have become known as free fire zones. Kennedy High is located in the middle of a free fire zone.

The police will not enter. There is no law. The Department of Education of Defense has been formed to reopen the schools and control the gangs. Baby, I need some passion. tonight. Hey, welcome back. We are back with another episode of THR. Oh, no, we're not doing that one.

Got my, got my shows mixed up. Got so many shows going on. This is the action returns. I'm your host, Brian. With me, as always. He's my host, co-host, Nez. What's up, man? Oh, I thought there was a stream feed.

I was. was like, wait, what? Okay, because I was trying to think of what my next pick was going to be, but we'll never mind. Too many shows. Yeah, never mind then. Oh, man, it's, everything's cool where I'm at so far. It's getting ready to snow. But the wind's been all crazy the past couple days and blows over the semi-trucks out on the open highway.

I'll be careful about all that. Other than that, ma'am, back to normal with my workdays, back to the night shift, because that morning shift about killed me. So it's why we weren't putting out of show every day, everyone. Now we can. I'm back to the regular groove.

So, but... In 1998, six million violent incidents took place in American high schools. Including 29,927 teacher fatalities. The public school system has been reduced to a battlefield. But the Board of Education has just found a solution. Perfect solution. You're next, Mr. Cope. For the class of 1999.

Where are you? The class of 1999. These Android were supposed to educate. was supposed to educate the students battle droids to graduate is to survive yeah class of 1999 um did you know there was a part two to this i have seen part two i started it yeah yeah it's a movie uh is it did uh mark luster director that one too? I don't think so. It barely has anything to do

with the first one. Barely. All right, man. Give us a synopsis of what this is. All right. Class of 1999, Google has it as a principal's attempt to demilitarize a high school battle zone with

Android educators backfires. Sure. IMDB, three ex-military robots are reprogrammed as teachers and secretly placed in a school where most students are part of organized gangs. They begin to respond violently to unruly students and their military training starts to take over. This, of course, is directed by Mark Lester. I believe he also produced it. screenplay by C. Courtney Joyner. This star is Bradley Gregg.

I'm assuming he's the guy that is kind of like a low-budget Corey Feldman. Tracy Lynn, John P. Ryan, the lovely, lovely Pam Greer, Joshua Miller, Stacey Keech, Malcolm McDowell, and many others. Neves, is this the first time, or have you seen class of 1999 before i had seen it a long time ago um i don't remember when um it was shit um i don't remember everyone it was a long time ago i just remember not being uh

being impressed with it i mean after class of 1984 man i was like oh my god that movie was just amazing. And, oh, this is part two, sweet. And it was everything but. I mean, but not to take it away from me. It's goofy. I mean, if you guys just want something to watch and laugh around with everyone, this is 1990.

We were still leaving the 80s with all these post-apocalyptic films. Because there was a ton of them throughout the 80s, be it the Bronx Warriors or escape from New York or I won't Rottie Pipe or something comes to Frogtown or whatever and hell comes to Frogtown was wasn't his name hell yeah rest in peace hot rod but it is what it is with this one it's got nothing to do with class of 1984 uh this the effects were cool for what they were they were practical i mean everybody in it i had seen

before and many movies i mean the main ones be it uh malcolm mcdow don't dr mcgown mcich mcich pittal stacy keatsy kitch patrick killpatrick pam greer and john p ryan and there's a few other stars in this like Joshua John Miller you guys if you guys have seen near dark he was Homer and that kid always bug me everything he was in especially in that film Rivers Edge he got on my nerves and that one he was getting on my nerves in this yeah he he turned out to be a pretty good screenwriter I know he did that movie uh the final girls

oh yeah and uh yeah and that uh that one uh drug cartel series uh what's it called, Queen of the South. Ah, okay. Yeah, he did the screenplays for though. So, I mean,

or is even Darren E. Burroughs, he plays Sunny in this one. He's been in a ton of things. I remember he was in Northern exposure. He was supposed to be like half native, but no, we weren't buying it.

I did like him in Crybaby. I liked him in that film and a bunch of other things he popped up in, but, Um, 1999 came and went long time ago, uh, boys and girls and we were yet to dress like

what they thought the future was going to look like. Um, I'm still dressing the way I dressed it in, in the 80s, but I did not dress like, uh, these guys or even the ones in a class of 1984, the little punk rockers and everyone.

But again, this movie you can just throw in and laugh around. if you guys are just wanting something to watch to laugh at and just party and all that this is definitely one of those type of films uh the special effects i thought were cool they were all practical but the uh overacting uh with everybody in it to me especially the main guy uh bradley gregg he plays a cody colt uh not corey feldman no yeah he was uh philip in uh nightmare nelson three dream warriors. Oh, yeah.

He was the one that Freddy sliced up in his arms and everything, and he was treating him like a puppet. But always good to see Pam Greer in anything. They probably filmed this in 89, so Pam Greer is still beautiful today, but even back then she was hot. But overall, I mean, this movie's goofy. It doesn't make any sense at all. um but yeah class of 1999 what did you think of it uh it's it's a it's a it's a movie it's a

it's a movie that should be watched with the group of people because there is a lot of wacky shit happening in this movie uh i i can't believe this movie is over 30 years old that makes me feel super old right now um when i remember when i first seen like a trailer for this when i I was when I was young, I swore this was a Corey Feldman movie. I really did. But what really drew me into it was Pam Greer, a big, big Pam Greer fan. And I had no idea this was, I guess, semi-sequel to class in 1984. Because like you said, it has nothing to do with the first one. It is in a, for all we know, because they never really said where the first movie took place. But for, for this, different school, different gangs. Like you said, the wardrobe is outrageous. I don't, it's like 80s hair band mixed with Road Warrior and the spandex pants and the spandex pants and the, the eye shadow or the eyeliner. Some of the guys were wearing, I was just like, oh, my gosh.

But it, it's fun. It gets fun. some places. Like I enjoy the performances of the three teachers, the robotic teachers, because they hammed it up in this one. They really did. And some of the some of the things are happening in this movie is just crazy because I'm trying to figure out the

whole time. Why are these kids even going to school? Exactly. The school is middle in this fucking, what do they call it, the dead zone, the war zone or something? I'm like, why are you going to school? Exactly. They called it the, uh, the free fire zones. Yeah. Um, like you basically own this area. The police won't go in, but you, you have to go to school and go to the principal's office when you get in trouble. I don't get it. I did. Yeah. This, this, it didn't make sense why they were even going to school. Cause, uh, the beginning narration states that throughout the 1990s violence in American high schools had spiral. out of control with areas and most major cities being taken over by youth gangs resulting in some school

shutting down two major gangs vie for control there's 1999 special areas known as free fire zones have discouraged police from entering out of fear I was kind of like Seattle's Kennedy High School is in the

middle of the free fire zone thus the Department of Education Defense DED A pilot special, a pilot special government agency has been notified. And, uh, fuck. Um, yeah, I, I didn't get if, if these, uh, free fire zones were supposed to be, like, super deadly and everything. Why, why is everyone going to school?

Because they're all, I mean, they're the metal detectors and everything in this one. And there are, there's no guns allowed or weapons or anything. And if you see all these kids just causing chaos in the street with all these gangs, I mean, the last thing they're thinking about is going to school. So I was like, okay. Not in this movie. Apparently they go to school and they go to school on time. Yeah, and do all their homework because there was one scene where the main kid,

Philip, that's all I see him, Matt. Cody, he was just like. Like, he was hanging out with his brother and everything. And then his brother was like, what were you going? I got homework to do. I was like, oh, I mean. The basketball scene. Yeah.

I can't get behind this Cody fucking guy. I just, I don't know. Did he just get out of prison? Yeah. Straight to school. Right out of prison. He gets picked up by his brothers. And they go to school and he's fucking throwing their drugs out the window.

And he's all fucking high and mighty or straight and narrow. And no, well, then right after that, you've got to fucking get into it with the rival gangs and fucking car chases and explosions. And then you guys go to school. Yeah. He had to fight through all that, all those gangs just to get to school. I was like, really? And then all those guys that were chasing him trying to kill him, parked their car. cars and then they all go to school.

I mean, I did love the, uh, the little, uh, post-apocalyptic, uh, cars they were driving around. It was total road wear rip-off type of stuff.

Um, uh, just modified cars with, or even like the, the cars they had and escaped from New York with the little fake, um, grills to cover the windows and bars and all that. And I was just like,

uh, I mean, they always, I think they wasted a lot of money on a lot of the stuff effects in this. I mean, the budget was $5.2 million, and it only boxed off as $2.4 million. Yeah, I can see that.

Yeah, I mean, if it was in the theater, it might have had a short run. I don't know. But the main guy, Cody Culp, one such delinquent as Cody Culp, a member of the Black Hearts gang. And that, the guys that were in that gang all had tattooed black hearts on them i mean that one little

homer kid whatever the hell his name was what was all i see him as is homer from angel angel well i mean you want to be with the black hearts and get a black heart tattoo or the razor heads which i don't know what their thing is like eyeliner and something something else i don't know I don't know. I mean, this is, I mean, out of prison, Cody has decided to lie low and avoid any gang warfare, especially with the rival's razorheads, led by Hector. Ah. Um, yeah.

I mean, so this guy's fresh out of prison, Cody, and he's just trying to live his life. His brother and his mother are drug addicts. They're hooked on. Some kind of new designer drug. I don't know. I guess it was something like Coke because they just kept sniffing it.

And he, Cody is just trying to live his life and go to school. But all this, this gang stuff he had. It was probably the gang reason was probably why he went to prison. But he, he's just trying to live his life.

But everyone's keep trying to pull, pull him back into the gang. because his former gang is they're all mad at him because he doesn't want nothing to do with him. But his brother, Angel, is just so drugged out. And he goes, yeah, they're going to jump me in. And I was like,

I mean, I just, nothing against that actor, but that, that kid, man, he just bugs me in everything. Joshua John Miller. I mean, he bugs me in everything he's in. Because he's always a little whiny bitch of the movie. And that's what he was in this one.

He was all whining around and shaking because he needed drugs. And I was like, oh, my God. But the thing that was funny about this, I mean, there was a lot. There was a lot of violence in this, a lot of fights. And guys would get, like, just beat up so bad. The faces were all bloody and all that. The one that made me laugh was when Cody got jumped. But he still went to school and still had blood on his face.

And big old, I was like, oh, my God. school is important in this movie yeah yeah i mean school is important important boys and girls but i did there was no this movie made no sense on why all these basically street killers i mean they were killing people left and right shooting them in the streets but they went to school maybe that's the new um i don't know i mean i i i i I'm watching it right now. They are checking in their weapons at the front door, and they are actually giving them tickets so they can get their weapons back later.

This movie made zero sense on why they were going to school. I mean, at least class of 1984 made sense. I mean, these were just wild kids that were, I mean, they went to school because that was their business. I mean, they didn't work or do school or anything, but they sold drugs and had girls, prostitute for them and all that. I mean, you could see why they were going to school. But these guys,

they're out there killing and fighting in the streets, but there's always time for eight hours of school. So, yeah, we're introduced to all these crazy fools and don't understand why, but then we're introduced

to the great Malcolm McDowell, Dr. Miles Langford, who's the, uh, of this school. And then we're also introduced to Dr. Bob Forrest, played by the great Stacey Keech, and he seems to be the one that's running

the Department of Education Defense. Oh, and you, you don't even really need to watch the movie to know that he is the villain, because they gave him a white, like white hair with the fucking rat tail on the back, with the white eyes or whatever. I'm like, yeah,

you're they went over the top with this and from what I understand he wanted this look this was his idea okay I mean it fit the movie because because of the way everybody looked in it so I mean yeah I don't think he was out of place but he brings in three teachers mr. Bryles Riles miss Connors and mr. Hardin into a into the school. What the hell is the school called again? Seattle's Kennedy High School. So they bring them in and to everyone else, they're just new teachers, but when we find out who they are, this was pretty much early right in the beginning, when we're introduced to these three teachers, but then we find out that they're robots.

Military robots. Yeah, I did like this scene when they were, when they were, when they was explaining it to him. All right, now show him what you do. And Patrick Kilpatrick, Mr. Bryllis, he opens up his mouth and pulls back and you can see he's a robot under it. So they put them in, into school to basically try to stop all the, all the crime and everything that's going there. so because every time they look around it's kind of like the terminator type of thing you see all these different directives on what they should do because when the kids are acting up there's one scene where there's one guy kind of starting to fight in class and then you see the thing with mr harden starts scanning through all

the things that he that he should do and basically just kind of stop the fight and give them corporal punishment or whatever they called it he spent them yes I was like, oh my God. I mean, he let them fight it, fight it out for a second. Then he goes over, grabs both of them, takes him to the front of the class, puts one on the ground while he puts his feet on top of it while he's sitting on the desk. And then bends the other one over his knee and starts spanking him. I mean, it's, it's funny, but I'm sure because he's a robot, it fucking probably hurt a lot. But just the way it looked and how fast his hand was going, it was like,

I mean, I guess they all did the movie just to get that paycheck. But I don't know, man. I mean, especially the five actors that are like the big names in this. Did they need to do this? No. but maybe on the come up yeah I'll take anything that someone hands it to me I mean I'm sure they had a good

time and a fun time making the movie it is it is fun to watch but it's just goofy and stupid and it makes no sense but basically the reason why they brought in these three robots was to try basic take back to school from all this violence that the students are doing

so I was like all right that's cool at that but these robots just kind of they were designed for the military but they basically kind of just they just get smarter and just do it themselves or yeah it kind of seem like

the typical thing we've seen in other movies where these I don't know I don't know what the term is these self operating robots that are just going to eventually just think for themselves and do what they want

and just kill start killing I mean it's a bad idea from the beginning I mean their military robots used in combat so I mean what was going to happen because they they slowly start killing the students the ones that are causing problems I mean there was one guy that I think it was one of the guys that got spanked and he like pulls a gun on the

the gym teacher and he uh he uh cody's there as well and i can't remember who the who the guy that showed up with the gun uh he was like he was like some other some other guy yeah

um i assume one of his friends from his gang so he goes up and he pulls the gun on mr brylus or bryles however he say his name and then that guy shoots him and then he just kind of takes the shots and then he kind of grabs them and takes the gun away from him and killed him.

And shout out to whoever was Bradley Greg's stunt double, because right before then Patrick killed Patrick is just beating the shit out of him because that's what you do with students that don't listen. And he picks him

up and slams him on that. You can see there's clearly just a mat on the floor. And he fucking bounces when he lands. And I know that wasn't not Cory Feldman. And that had to have been a double. So shout out to that guy.

I mean, so, yeah, we see that these, these, these three robotic teachers are just, just killing people. I mean, they're supposed to kind of have, uh, try to just control them. Not, I mean, just basically take the school back, but no, no casualties. But these, these robots are like, F it. and then they just start killing all the kids that are causing the problems. To me, it was just kind of like a total Terminator rip-off because at the end, that was like a total rip-off from Terminator from the first one when that their robot was chasing Cody and his girlfriend.

I was kind of like, oh, my God. But again, the special effects, I mean, I enjoyed them because they were all practical, and that's always amazing. But once, I mean, oh, and the Dr. Bob Forrest, Saci Kitch's character, he's got like a command center in the school and watching because there's video cameras all over the hallways. And each one of these robots has cameras in their eyes or whatever, because when we see their directives that are coming across on what they should do,

that's also feeding into the little headquarters on their computers. So they're all watching it as well as what they're going on. Because some of the scientists or doctors or whatever that built these guys are kind of like, we need to shut this down because they're not, they're just killing people. They're not doing what we want. But Stacey Keech, Dr. Bob Forrest, is like, nope, no, we got to leave him in there. We got to leave him in there because that's what he wanted to do. He wanted to just kill all these kids that were causing problems.

Yeah, he's basically saying they're they're just adapting to their surroundings Like no, they're they're murdering these kids So so why that's going on I mean there's still a beef between the two gangs the razor heads and the the black hearts But they at one point have to to team up to fight these three Robots I did like the scene when I Um, after Cody, after his buddy got killed, he just kind of said, no, it was after his brother, his brother got killed. Yeah, Mr. Mr. Hart. No, that was a sunny. Sunny got killed. Well, we didn't talk about sunny getting killed. Which one was that one? Uh, the one where Mr. Harder and shoved all the drugs into his mouth.

Oh, that's right. Um, yeah, he, he was all drugged out too. So, but, um, I thought it was, I thought it was after his brother got killed that he went, uh, that Cody went on a rampage. Sonny, Sonny was his brother too. He was, oh,

that's right. Angel gets killed after the, the basketball scene where, where Cody just leaves him in this gang riddled neighborhood by himself. Yeah, I mean, they tried to pack too many stories in this because there was too many players, uh,

other than the gang guys. and then the robots and everything. Yeah, we didn't even talk about the love interest either. Oh, she served no purpose in this. I guess she was Dr. Miles Langford's, the principal's daughter. She was Christy Langford. Yeah, that is the most unbelievable shit ever.

You allow your daughter to go to the school, really? Especially this goal. I mean, I assume you're rich. when you're a principal, but there was no need for her to go to this school. She could have went to one of the safer schools because she obviously was well educated and taken care of as a kid. She didn't dress like all these other whatever they were, punk rock, punk gang members or whatever they were.

But I was like, and she did say she was like, well, my dad wanted me just to come to a public school. and I don't mind it. And she ends up falling for Cody and he falls in love with her. And did she get killed? No, she lived, unfortunately. I mean, it probably would have made the movie better, more dramatic, but no. But, I mean, while that is all happening and the senseless gang violence that really doesn't add up to anything. Cody and Christine do figure out that there's something going on

because after Mr. Browell killed Sonny, he did tell him, he goes, look, man, I got to find out where these guys are from because Cody stole the school faculty phone numbers that were sitting on a desk in the principal's office. So he was trying to figure out who these three new teachers were, but then we find out that they all live in the same house because they all have the same address.

So Cody and Christine go over there to break into their house to their apartment to see if they can figure out anything on who these three are. They didn't find anything when they got in that apartment, right? Yeah, some things that it just made it really ridiculous. There was like a whole cabinet full of like WD40 and other stuff like that. Yeah, so they The three teachers end up showing up home And then they Cody and Christine kind of haul ass out of there

But they see who broke into that They know someone broke in So when they walk outside they see Cody and Christine riding off on his motorcycle So they jump in the car to go To go chase them This chasing was bullshit it. The three teachers were in a car. Cody was on a bike.

Well, he dropped off Christine so she can run and hide. They were chasing Cody. Their car kept hitting his back wheel, and all he would do was shaking. And keep on running. If that big car bumped the back of that tire, you're flipping and you're dead. They must have hit him like five times. He just kept on going. And I was like, oh, my God.

This it was it was bad But he did I he keep he knew that there was something wrong with them That he knew why he he still needed to figure out Who they were where they came from and why they're doing what they're doing The students did start to Disappear and everything so but oh, they did find something. I just remembered Sonny's a crucifix that his mom had gave him he um cody saw it earlier because then uh it was mr hardin yeah when he was standing in the classroom uh cody saw him holding it then he and then he put it in his pocket but then he yeah he found it when they were in the apartment building um but uh so during all this i mean the the razor backs and then uh razor heads or whatever the hell are called uh and the black carts were still at each other's throat i mean this was

I'm just jumping around everyone But I mean after after angel got killed Um Sonny's dead Angel's dead Uh It was when Cody just Fuck it

He had to put his headband on Jump in Jumping in And he was like All right come on Let's do this I might I

Things might be different nowadays but I don't know if you can just be jumped in and then jumped out and jump back in and apparently in this movie you can get out and get in whenever you feel like it. Yeah, yeah. I was like, oh man,

these gangs are soft. But they did all run around with machine guns and weapons and everything because after Cody loads up, let's go, let's go get him. They had this big gun battle with the Blackhearts and the race.

Hazerheads, is that what they were called? Razorheads? It doesn't matter. They're razor heads, razor backs. Razor heads. They have this big, they're like, oh, it was after they found Sunny dead,

our angel dead. They had that basketball and it said, meet us in the war zone or whatever. And the war zone is just some little beat up field with junk in it, right? Kind of right by the water. And they just,

Cody loads up. Yeah, Let's go. Come on. Everyone grabs machine guns and they go there and then immediately have this big gun battle. And they're all bad shots because nobody's getting shot. I was like, oh, come on. And then the three teachers show up.

The three robotic teachers show up. And then both gangs start fighting them. I mean, because everyone knows who they are and they know that they're doing some dirty stuff. So they all start firing on them. But these robots end up taking guns away from some of the gang members and just start murdering everyone. Murdering all these kids, all these teenagers. But I was like, oh, my God. Well, what's happening here?

This is what happens in the distant future of 1999. I guess. So, I mean, yeah, so they do that. they kill them pretty much almost everybody in both gang except for a few of the main the main members but on both sides but then so now they're like all right man we we need to team up with the razor heads and the black hearts and we need to get these teachers oh this was fucking stupid uh when they went okay because uh they the teachers kidnap uh cody's girl and then pam grue does that thing where she gets on the phone with cody pretending to be uh

Hector and then for some reason Hector is like oh why would or Cody's like why would Hector go to the school if he didn't have to and then everybody's like yeah it must be the teachers I'm like nobody ever had to go to school because they had to and I'm just like it was fucking stupid yeah I've that even during that scene I was like why the fuck is anyone going to school so there's a big huge battle and at the high school now the three teachers we all they all find out that the robots and they just team up and then they go charging in and they one by one the the teachers are actually killing some of the gang members that are after them then when they

once they switched into battle mode to mr. or briar bryl's brylis or whatever Patrick Kilpatrick he his arm I think it was his right arm the hand falls off I don't remember maybe he's home pulled it off I don't remember but his it turns into was it like a flame door or a gun

No Pam Greer had the flame throw He had the claw with the drill And Mr. Hardin what did he have Yeah, like a rocket launcher. Okay. Like a little mini rocket launcher.

Oh, my God. But the, the Hector gave me the best line in this movie when, uh, they shoot up Pam Greer. And then you can see the robotic parts underneath. And he's like, bionic tetas. Oh.

I mean, when they, when they, they shoot up, uh, Pam Greer, I mean, she's still coming at you, but she's like,

full of holes spewing out green green stuff or I don't know I was like what the fuck is happening here so I mean but they end up destroying her and then they go after Mr. Hardin

and it's goofy there as well I mean they end up he took out Mr. Hardin took out a few people but how they killed him is they did they show a shotgun or was it a pistol in his mouth? I think it was a machine gun. Yeah.

Just unloaded a machine gun. That was it. Yeah, I thought that was cool. I mean, because when they were shooting these teachers, these robots, I mean, they were just taking the bullets and kept on coming. But I guess if you shove a gun in one of his mouth and just unload it because it blew the back back of his head out. So, I mean, that was the end of that robot. Pam Greer also got destroyed and then it came down to the last robot which was

Patrick Kilpatrick. He actually looked cool. This is where I say was the Terminator rip off because he gets shot up and everything his hand turns into the little drill thing which I thought was a cool effect because it grabbed was a Hector that it grabbed? no the one Cody's one friend with the bleach blonde hair oh okay yeah that's right I don't know I'm assuming

he was the leader of the black hearts for some reason all right it had like a claw and a drill and he grabbed his head and then the drill kind of came out I was hoping to show it go in

he would just you hear him screaming and then they throws him on the ground you see he's got a hole in his head. Oh, it's kind of like, oh, cheap. Let me go back a little bit. When the robot teachers took over, they went into the command center,

and just murdered everybody in there. All the little scientist technicians and all that. They killed all of them, and then they killed Stacey Keats' character, Dr. Bob Forrest. They ended up killing him, as well as the principal, Malcolm McDowell's character,

Dr. Langford. I did like how they killed him. Yeah, that kill was rough. The choke basically grabbed him by Malcolm McDowell by the throat and just like stabbed his throat with the fingers. Like you can see the holes in his neck when he got,

when he was laying there on the floor. I thought that was really cool. Yeah, I like that effect. I mean, how it looked. I mean, after they threw him on the ground, you see his blood is his neck is all bloody. And you can see where there It was like fingers that just jammed in. There was like three little holes in his neck.

So I thought that was cool. So the principal's dead. The doctors and all the scientists that created these three battle droids or whatever you want to call them. Everyone's dead. And so it's up to Cody and his gang or whoever is still alive to take these robots out. So they took out Pam Greer. They took out Mrs. Connors and they took out Mr. Hardin. and Patrick Kilpatrick's

was the last one standing this is where I say they ripped off Terminator because they were fighting with them and they couldn't stop him and then he like blew up at one point and it basically just burned off all the skin

and everything that was on him I did like how his head looked it was like half of his normal head and the other half was a robot it looked goofy and cheesy, but I still liked how it looked. And when

after they did that, because they thought they thought they destroyed him, but he didn't. So, but he was walking, he was still walking and trying to come after him. And there's a scene where you see robotic feet walking on the ground and then,

it was just a total. Total Terminator rip off. I mean, they burned off all the skin to reveal the the robot skeleton under them. So I was like, oh, come on. I mean, but I did

like how it looked. I mean, I thought the special effect of that looked pretty sweet, but it was just it was just goofy. How did they destroy that last one? I think somehow, how did they do it? I think he was going out

of the girl and then Cody said some kind of one liner and then drove a forklift into him and then somehow a chain got wrapped around his head and he lowered the fork lift and it pulled the head off. Oh that's

right because it was chasing that girl Christine. She was climbing up a ladder and the robot grabbed her and pulled her down and that's when Cody came riding up on the forklift. lifted up those two little metal things

that pick up whatever you're trying to carry around he jammed it through him into the robot and he kind of let go of the ladder he was trying to climb but he was still holding on to Christine and then

before Christine was able to get out of the way they said wrap that chain around his neck so she grabs a chain and wraps it around his neck and then he kind of lets her go and then he starts spinning in a circle, so I assume

Oh no, the Forklifts started spinning in a circle And I was just wrapping the chain Around its neck More did it pull his head off? Yeah, and for some reason The robot was screaming Like he was in pain

Or something I guess So I mean, after they pulled Its head off and I mean, that was it It was dead. I mean, it just it stopped running. Separated the main chip probably from

the rest of his body and then it just fell. And Cody and Christine hug and kiss and all that. Then they come walking out of school as the school's burning up and that's your movie. And I would say the way this movie is, how wacky it is,

I bet your kids will show up to go to school the next day. Oh yeah. I'm sure somebody came and put out the fire and then resumed classes. But I don't know if it went did right away. You got to find another principal and you got to explain why there's dead students and dead robots and dead scientists and everything in this high school. But this movie was just terrible. I mean, did they need to make it? No. I guess when you're filmmaker, man, you just make whatever you make. And hopefully

it's if it doesn't make its money back it hopefully it'll do something i mean it is a cult classic uh there is a lot of people that that that do enjoy this movie again get a sequel yeah because class of 1999 part two the substitute starring i know i know I know that guy. Sasha Mitchell. Was he best of the best or was he Bloodsport? He was kickboxer. Okay.

Like kickboxer 4 or something. And he was on that one sitcom, step by step. Yeah. He had got into, what the hell was his name, Sasha Mitchell. He got into some shenanigans and basically,

I guess, with his wife, right? Yeah, kind of slowed his career down. He was, just had an angry issues and took it out on his wife physically. And this guy from what they were saying,

he did, I mean, he was a martial artist, so he had fighting skills. And just, I guess, I don't know if he used him on his wife, but yeah, I remember all of that clearly. Because, I mean, I liked him in step by step. What the hell was his name? because he was he was like the stupid stupid guy of the show

uh Cody that was his name um I guess they did oh that was a 91 when that show started because I think once the stuff happened he they kind of like

wrote him off the series because everyone was starting to hate him but yeah he did three kickboxing movies I think I only seen this the second one i didn't i kind of tapped out uh after that but um yeah they bring back tong poe for that one and i don't even think it's the same guy because it looked like he had prosthetics on his face yeah it wasn't i mean you could clearly see uh it was someone else um with that one but um sure we'll tackle all those uh as we go along but i mean

movie Mark Luster man you did such an amazing job with class in 1984 I mean Commando fire starter all that but

this one was just it was no good maybe he wanted to buy a new house or something I guess I mean this guy is still I mean he's still out there working

he's done he's got a ton of things he's got 33 credits for being a director, a bunch as a producer and a writer. But he's still out there doing it, man. It seems like he's doing a lot of producing. But his directing, I mean, he's got something TV movie.

Qua Harry or her eye. I don't know. I don't know what that is, but that's a pre-production. But he's still out there doing it, man. but I've seen some of his films other than the two we talked about as well as Commando and Fire Started Armed and Dangerous was awesome. Showdown

in Little Tokyo was an awesome film. We'll do that one eventually but Yes, we will. But this movie Again, watch it with a group. Don't sit there by yourself and because it'll be funny it'll be fun to sit there with your boys or sit there with your girls and watch this movie and laugh i mean there's i mean i guess we're with some of the big actors and you got to keep on acting so uh i mean malcolm mcdall he

hasn't had the uh i mean he's had a good career not not saying anything about that he's still out there doing it but oh that got to do anything now Yeah, some of the roles he's been choosing has just, okay. I did like everything he did with Rob Zombie, and of course, the earlier films he did in his career. Clockwork Orange is probably my favorite film of his. I met him once. He was a really nice gentleman, but, yeah, I think he's just taking whatever.

He's just taking that check. He's got a ton of things in pre-production. And then there's some other things that were just announced. So he's still out there doing it. How old is he was born in 43? You guys do the math. I don't know how old he is, but he was much younger in this one because you can clearly see it in him, as well as Stacey Keech.

but this movie is just, I almost bought it at one time. I had it in my hand, the Blu-ray. Oh, the best drone. Yeah. I was like, do I need it.

Do I have to have it? I might pick it up. I feel like I have to have it because I have class at 1984. So. Now I got to look up and see how much it is. I can't remember. remember how much it was well when I saw it but um I don't I don't know I mean if I do

it'll be just yeah yeah like you like you I have the other one so might as well me twenty dollars ain't ain't much so if I see it again maybe maybe I'll pick it up I don't know but I am interested in the second one um class of 99 part two or whatever, the substitute. It started off, goofy. He more crazy wannabe punk rocker, glam band looking dudes, and he got Cody there.

Well, his name is in Cody in the movie, but I just see him as Cody. I mean, even in the kickboxer one that I saw. I mean, I, I mean, oh my gosh. all three of these films are streaming on YouTube Class of 1984, Class of 99, and then the second one, the substitute.

So I haven't seen that one. I didn't even know there was a two. So I'm going to have to sit down and watch that one. And I'll come back and tell you guys what I thought about it. But when did you see that one? I mean, how much do you remember? I've seen it last year because I didn't even know there was a second one.

And you're right, it starts off goofy, and it doesn't stop there. It continues to be ridiculous. Okay, what is that one? In the original movie, The Cyborg Teachers were all destroyed. Well, that's what we thought. But there's one more rogue military robot out there

determined to clean up the education system. Why, though? Was that his directives, too? I don't know. In the future, teachers are cyborgs. Pray you only get detention. I got, okay, I got to watch this one. Is that on the poster or something?

Yeah. Oh, God. Maybe we have to do like a 10-minute bonus episode for this one. I need to, I have to, I mean, I watched maybe 15 minutes of it. I got to see how it is. but that one was directed by Spiro Rosatose Mark El Lester

he wrote it Okay he's a stunt man He did stunts in Venom Fast and Furious Civil War and Kong Oh man He's got a hundred and seventy three credits as stunts Um One credit as directs

One credit as director. Three. Oh. Fast Getaway, the Class 99, and then TV series. Fast Get Away with Corey Hain? I don't,

never heard of that. I might have just made that. Oh, yeah, it is. It's Corey. Okay. I remember seeing this box

in the video store, but I never seen it. Corey Hame, rest in peace. I'll have to find that one, but Team Night Rider. Is that the Night Rider or is it something? Let me see what that is. I, okay.

It is something to do with Night Rider, the car. Team Night Rider, that was in, I guess it was a TV series and I assume in the 90s. Oh, 97 to, I only added one year, 97 and 98. years after the eventuals of Michael Knight and Kit a new team are artificially of artificially intelligent

super vehicles and their drivers continue to fight against evil wherever they go. I never even heard of this at all. Looking at the poster, I only know one guy in this.

He was that one dude that was in the bathroom the whole movie in summer school. Oh, the guy that's like he's always like some kind of athlete in every movie he's in yeah and I remember him as he I think he played a Buster

Douglas in that that Tyson movie that was on HBO um the name is this him he was in the program yeah dad Dwayne Davis yeah oh he was also uh uno and Gosa Mars oh yeah and then he was the very dumb football player in Beetlejuice I don't remember him in he's he played a lot of football ball players he was a what was the necessary roughness he was the guy that couldn't catch the ball yeah he was in the hidden

as well I don't remember him in that but okay summer school I mean that's some every he's one of those oh it's that guy but summer school I remember him because he was in the beginning of the end of the movie went to the bathroom and that was it

he was there the whole came back took his test got the higher score yeah oh my god oh yeah class of 1999 again is streaming on YouTube watch it if you must but definitely watch the first one if you guys haven't seen that one that one's a true classic and if you want a stomach 99 and part two go for it so but I guess that's it I don't know this move was the train wreck from beginning to Ed. I mean, nothing against anyone that was in it.

They all did their job. So I applaud all you actors that were in this film. But come on, Mark Lester. You could do better than that. Bionic Tatas. Oh, fuck. Yeah, all right, everyone. What do we got next?
