Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Majorthebys Charming and brutal

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

bandito Cant believe I missed this one in the 90s.Mix of Warriors, mad max, terminator, class of 1984.lots of cheese and violence.see it with open mind and chill.silly and watchable .

meddlecore Holy sh*t...if you only watch one horror this Halloween season...definitely make it this film!!! Class Of 1999 can be described as an amazingly perfect cheesy combination of The Warriors meets Mad Max & Punishment Park- with some Chopping Mall & Terminator on the side. Yes. It is that f*cking epic.Fully automatic gang warfare has broken out in Seattle, around Kennedy High, rendering it a "free fire zone" (meaning that police will not enter it...and there is no law). To counter this anarchic state of affairs, the US government has formed the Educational Department of Defense to step in and intervene with maximum security measures- including android teachers who dole out all manner of corporate punishment. They've also released a number of teenage criminals from jail, directly into the experimental schooling program...where zero tolerance is rule number one.Our protagonist is Cody,leader of the Blackhearts gang, who was offered clemency and released as part of this program. He's pretty reasonable compared to the rest of the punk kids at the school...which leads him to form a romantic relationship with the Principals daughter.After the battledroid teachers murder a couple of his friends, he catches a whiff of what is going on at the school. He tries to warn everybody and bring together rival factions in order to combat these unhuman psychopaths...but he has a hard time convincing them.That is until it becomes glaringly evident...cue the apocalyptic robot-human war.Turns out that these artificial intelligence androids were originally developed for warfare purposes, but then marketed to the government as a surefire way to address the youth and crime in and around America's major cities. And it seems the bots aren't absorbing their educational directives very well.This film is absolutely brilliant. There is not a single thing about this film that doesn't totally rule. It's a true cult classic.For what it is, there is a surprisingly well known cast, including Stacey Keach as the head of the DED program and Malcolm McDowell as the Principal and father of Cody's love interest.The special effects are downright, f*cking amazing. From the fight scenes to the robotic reveals. Everything about this is just awesome.And there are sooooo many great one liners.This is cheese perfected. Up there with Evil Dead 2 and AOD as a masterpiece of cult cinema. Must see.8.5 out of 10.

nicko252008 If your a fan of gang movies or sci fi movies you will love this one. Kind of like a horror science fiction gang movie. A lil cheesy at times but overall very entertaining. Very bad ass movie. The year is 1999 gangs have taken over major American cities, so no fire zones get created, where cops don't even patrol because their ridden with violence and gangs. Sounds amazing right? It IS!! Then the teachers are military cyborgs that end up going crazy and killing students. Def check this movie out! Such a cool unique movie, Some younger kids probably won't enjoy this movie. You have to appreciate 80's special effects to the likes of the terminator. Actually their were a couple of scenes in this movie that reminded me of the terminator. Go see this movie now.

Woodyanders 1999. The bleak near future. Youth gang violence is so bad and out of control at Kennedy High School that earnest principal Miles Langford (nicely played by Malcom McDowell) has evil albino robotics expert Dr. Bob Forrest (a gloriously hammy Stacy Keach) bring in three special and lethal automated battle droid teachers - history teacher Mr. Hardin (a wonderfully sly and spirited portrayal by John P. Ryan), sultry chemistry teacher Mrs. Connors (the always great Pam Grier), and tough gym teacher Mr. Bryles (a perfectly cast Lincoln Lilpatrick) -- to restore order. Problems arise when the teachers revert back to their military programming and start killing off the students. Director Mark L. Lester, working from a colorful and outrageous script by C. Courtney Joyner, really goes to town on the entertainingly campy and ridiculous premise: the constant brisk pace rarely lets up for a minute, the exciting action set pieces are staged with rip-snorting gusto, there are loads of amusingly cheesy one-liners and several moments of pleasingly grisly gore, and Lester completely pulls out all the stops for the delightfully over-the-top explosive climax. The cast likewise have a field day with the blithely absurd material: Bradley Gregg makes for an appealingly brooding hero as surly gang leader Cody Culp, the ravishing Traci Lin gives a charming performance as the sweet Christie Langford, Grier, Kilpatrick, and especially Ryan are all in top form as the deadly terminator teachers, plus there are neat turns by Joshua Miller as Cody's snotty, but loyal younger brother Angel, Darren E. Burrows as twitchy drug addict Sonny, James Medina as nasty rival gang leader Hector, and Jill Gatsy as the scrappy Dawn. Mark Irwin's glossy cinematography gives the picture an impressively polished look. Michael Hoenig's robust, rattling score and the trashy'n'thrashy rock soundtrack both hit the rousing spot. Granted, this film is pretty silly and doesn't possess the raw gritty power of Lester's earlier "Class of 1984," but it's still a great deal of funky-punky comic book fun just the same.
