| Class of 1999 (1991) Cast:Bradley Gregg,Tracy Lind,Stacy Keach,John P. Ryan,Pam Grier,Patrick Kilpatrick,Malcom McDowell Gregg stars as Cody Culp a student who descovers that his teachers are cyborgs who have declared war on him and his classmates in this extremely silly yet enjoyable actioner which is truly a surreal experience. First of all Class Of 1999 doesn't match the greatness of the original but then how could it? The first was fresh,brutal and depended on the good acting. However in it's own right Class Of 1999 more then holds it's own as far as bodycount actioners go, plus Lester's style works well. If only things didn't get so silly. Yes the main weakness here is the laughable coolness factor that this movie doesn't contain an ounce of. Sure the teachers are played with absurd over the top acting but let's be candid the teens and their stance to look cool is pretty ridiculous and so is this film, however that being said Class Of 1999 is certainly enjoyable as these things go, it's surreal, loud and well full of action plus Mark L. Lester's over the top direction and the ridiculous bodycount that gives this a very watchable edge. D.Mark L. Lester *** |
