Product Description
Class of Nuke'Em High, the timeless classic of readin', writin' and radiation, is available for the first time ever in this unrated Director's Cut. When first released in theaters in 1986, Class of Nuke'Em High became an instant sensation. Its unique blend of horror and humor was cheered by audiences and celebrated by critics. The film spawned two sequels and legions of fans.
At Tromaville High School, located a stone's throw from the local Nuclear Power Plant, the students are getting brighter. In fact, they're beginning to develop a Troma-green glow. Innocent students mutate into sex-crazed psychos, the Honor Society's turned into carnivorous, kinky cretins, and the slimy monster stalking the hallways isn't the principal!
The Director's Cut of Class of Nuke 'Em High has been lovingly restored by co-director Lloyd Kaufman (who developed the film during detention) and the Troma Team. Never-before-seen footage (found in the Tromaville High School's girls' bathroom) has been added. The film includes a special introduction from the Tromaville Caf featuring Toxie, Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D, The Tromettes, and Lloyd Kaufman.

Too much fallout..........2005-02-19
I dunno how those Troma guys do it, but somehow they manage to rope me into watching their cheeseball flicks. Well, actually I DO know how they do it: they put together some really good promo trailers. Whenever I see a promising-looking trailer for a Troma flick, I usually end up rushin' out to the rental store to pick that particular title up. And almost invariably, I find the movie a bit of a disappointment (the two exceptions so far: "Toxic Avenger" and "Cannibal! The Musical"). Which is exactly what happened after I saw "Class of Nuke 'Em High". I saw a promo for it on the "Surf Nazis Must Die!" tape I rented the day before (another disappointment, BTW), and found its minute-long depiction of over-the-top weirdness and just plain cheesiness a promising preview of what I could expect from the movie proper.
Sure enough, "Nuke `Em High" had all the appropriately crude special & visual effects, gross-out moments of bizarre ultraviolence (none of which included the Troma-staple head-crushing scene, oddly enough), and ludicrously over-the-top characters I've come to know and love in most cult/trash-cinema "classics" I've viewed. But for some reason these elements when put together in this production didn't quite do it for me. Maybe the lack of a head-crushin' scene was the big difference? One can only wonder...
But while the movie itself may have been somethin' of a wash, there was one fairly entertaining thing about it: Lloyd Kaufman's commentary track. Whenever I take my ear to one of these, I can never tell if the guy's bein' serious or not. He throws out his usual assertion of the collusion between government and big business to make as big a profit as they can at the detriment of the little guy, which is symbolized by the defective nuclear power plant that gets the ball rollin' in this flick. Then he talks about how many of the flick's scenes are based on actual events "ripped from the headlines", which are satirized to such a ludicrous level that it's d@mn near impossible for ya to see the real-life event in the satire. Well, d@mn near impossible without Mr. Kaufman actually spellin' it out for ya in the commentary track that is...
Kaufman also brings up the various staples & themes contained in Troma flicks, like the combining of hot babes and "himbos" with some of the nerdiest losers and the weirdest freakos you'll ever see in low-budget cult cinema. Then there's the blurring of gender identity, which is driven home in one scene where one of the bad guys... er, bad girls uses a urinal in the high school men's room. And another bad guy wearin' lipstick, falsies, and a darling blouse (who, according to Kaufman, was supposed to look a bit more androgynous, but the limited budget wouldn't allow it).
But the most unusual bit of commentary is Kaufman's rambling thoughts on the "Tromettes", AKA the bad@$$ hotties you see in Troma flicks who take no guff from nobody. He talks about the influence Troma chicks have had in the movie industry, and... well, ya gotta listen to it to believe it. This piece was the point where I couldn't tell if Kaufman was takin' his labor of love all too seriously, or if he was just pretending to take his movie all too seriously as a goof. In either case, Kaufman's track makes the "Class of Nuke `Em High" DVD worth a rental...

one of troma's best.......2004-11-22
This is a awsome movie that is about a group of high schoolers who smoke some raidoactive weed a flip out. It was very good and the gore was above average. The toxic avenger 1 and 4 are better though..... But all arounf this is a great movie!!!
Awesomely bad!.......2004-10-31
Class of Nuke Em'High is so awesomely bad!!! It is the best 'bad' movie I have ever seen! I have watched this movie over and over for more than 10 years... I know every word and every scene... I can also point out all the mess-up's!! I never get tired of seeing this film!!
low budget bliss.......2004-07-09
this film is abouta guy who works at a nuclear power plant in security and on the side he deals drugs.well,the marijauna he sells the local punks becomes contaminated with nuclear waste and weird stuff galore!nobody anyone has ever heard of plays in tromaville.keep the kids in the next state when you watch this.it has abselutely nothing educational in it whatsoever.it is set in the same place as the toxic waste avenger but is way way better.only those with a dark sense of humor will be able to handle the borderline obscene happenings here.there are hot and cold runnung bimbos all through it but they are all ugly.million dollar boobies with a food stamp face.2 chicks lose thier shirts.this is the epitome of all low budget horror films.
Troma classic 4 sure!.......2004-02-10
I first seen this movie when i was about 10 years old. It really freaked me out with its wierdness but years after, when i got to about 19 years old, i still couldnt get it out of my head. Then i started wondering if its out on DVD, to my surprise, it was! WOW! I thought i was the only one who really dig this film, slapstick humour, perfectly cast characters, some sexy, not to mention, psycho chicks & troma style gore! Even the main characters get in touch with thier darkside's! Its a classic & includes a lot of characters from the toxic avenger movies. Its a classic troma film, & a stand-alone awesome independant film aswell. If u aint seen a Troma film b4, definetly check it out. It bends hollywood rules & goes beyond them! Lloyd Kaufman's a genius! Its a low budget film but some of the special FX will amaze you....By the way, i havent even got the 1 with special features like deleted scenes & commentary, so even more reason to buy this, i am.

MMMMMMM.......2007-05-13
This video was great back in the 80's and its still not bad now but i urge anyone who has seen the 1st one not to buy the others because they are utter rubbish and who ever made them should be killed.
Not worth it at all!.......2007-01-18
Class of Nuke 'Em High part 1 is OK (it IS a classic in gore movies).
Part 2 and part 3 shouldnt even EXIST!
It ain't like the serie Evil Dead..the first one is the only one you need to buy..the 2 others ain't worth the money spent to create those crappy movies.
On the + side: You get a sticker of I when to Class of NUKE 'EM HIGH! Woohooo! ;)
Conclusion..buy Class of Nuke 'Em High Part 1 and thats IT! Don't do the same error like I did.
The first one, Instant classic. The rest, Pathetic........2006-11-30
I bought the first Class of nuke em high, by itself. It was one of the funniest movies Troma has made. It's so blatantly from the 80's it makes it great, some decent Troma gore thrown in, and hilarious characters. It is a movie that for the most part you can follow and is well put together. That said, I bought the trilogy as a way to get the other 2 together, thinking they would be at least as good. Wrong. I watched the second one and instantly you can tell the difference, if you own the first one and are contemplating getting this because you liked the first, don't bother. They are 2 entirely different types of movies, seriously. The second movie has a bunch of quirky music, stupid slapstick-style humor (people getting hit and a sound effect going "bonk" etc.) Barely any gore worth mentioning or being funny for that matter. The plot is impossible to follow as things keep switching pace and the story is really pathetic to begin with. The acting is terrible and I don't mean that in a good way, I was falling asleep watching it. The third movie however... is just the same. I watched 20 minutes into it and then after seeing it was almost the same movie (same basic plot except a little further ahead in time) I fastforwarded through the rest of the movie looking for anything decent (something may be there that I missed) but overall I could find nothing worthy of noting. So, buy the first one (it's so 80's that, that fact alone makes the movie), the rest I couldn't be paid to watch again.
I LOVE TROMAVILLE HIGH SCHOOL!.......2006-05-02
These movies in my opinion are the seconed best Troma movies next to THE TOXIC AVENGER. They are extremely entertaining and loads of fun. The box set also comes with a nifty bumper sticker(Thus the title of this review)The DVDS are packed with excellent extras. Parts 2&3 are excellent also. In my opinion the best of the 3 in order are:
1.Class of Nuke'em High
2.Class of Nuke'em High Part 3: The Good The Bad and the Sub-Humanoid
3.Class of Nuke'em High Part Two
If you like Troma Get this its a must have!
good troma set.......2006-02-06
im a huge troma fan so i purchased this nice box set.
the first movie is in the same vein as toxic avenger 1. pretty good.
the second is really weird. definately a good offering,but not the best thing troma has done.
the third...ive only watched a little bit of it. i can definately feel the 80's to 90's crossover in this one.
all in all, class of nuke em high will please toxic avenger fans, but i feel that the newer stuff is waaaaay better. make sure you have tromeo and juliet, terror firmer, and toxic avenger 4 before this set though.
definately recommended to 70's and 80's nerds who like the whole futuristic image. the so called "punks" should check this out too.
