Class of Nuke 'em High Box Set

I recently purchased the entire trilogy of films known as the 'Class of Nuke' Em High,' on DVD.They're all from Troma Films, an independent production company based out of New Jersey.Here is a review of each movie, in chronological order, they might contain spoilers, FYI.Class of Nuke 'Em HighUnleashed in 1986, the original Class of Nuke 'Em High is, for me at least, the weakest in the trilogy. The plot revolves around Tromaville High School, which is known as 'Nuke 'Em High,' due to the fact that it's within spitting distance of a high-profile Nuclear Power Plant. Somewhere along the line, a meltdown occurs and infects the water supply of the local school. The regular students slowly become vicious, violent cretins, part of the Cretin Biker Gang, who wreak havoc on the school and around Tromaville. Warren and Christie, two young lovers are the main characters, who start to suspect something fishy after smoking a radioactive joint that causes them to hallucinate. The rest is the students versus the cretins versus the nuclear power plant versus the townspeople. If you like low-grade Z-movies, this is will tickle your fancy.Class of Nuke 'Em High 2: Subhumanoid MeltdownReleased five years after the original, Subhumanoid Meltdown follows the story of Roger Smith, who goes to Tromaville University, which is slowly being overtaken by cretins and a race of mutants known as 'subhumanoids,' who are being manufactured by the people working in the (you guessed it) nearby nuclear power plant. I wasn't really paying attention when I watched this one, I'd been having a rough day and was falling asleep, so it's hard for me to review that which I don't understand very well. As far as I can tell, it focuses around Roger, played by Brick Bronsky, who gets tangled up in a government program to cross-breed humans and subhumanoids. He falls in love with a subhumanoid and then tragedy strikes when a rogue squirrel finds some tasty-looking radioactive material, gets infected by it and becomes Tromie, the eighty-foot radioactive squirrel from Hell! Tromie wreaks havoc on students and cretins alike, and the movie ends rather abruptly. Personally, I liked this one better than the first.Class of Nuke 'Em High 3: The Good The Bad And The SubhumanoidThe final (?) chapter in the trilogy of Class of Nuke 'Em High movies, The Good The Bad And The Subhumanoid is easily the best in the trilogy. It follows Adlai Smith, third-generation subhumanoid son of Roger Smith and the subhumanoid he fell in love with in the second movie. Adlai is played by Brick Bronsky, who also plays Adlai's evil twin, Dick, and his own father, Roger, from part two, who is now the mayor of Tromaville. There's an evil mastermind, known as Doctor Slag (PHD) who wants to use Adlai's long lost twin separated at birth, Dick, to wreak havoc on the town, then turn it into a nuclear wasteland. The exact reasoning behind wanting to do this escapes me, but the movie was just such a blast to watch in general you won't really care. It's a fun movie, your typical good-versus-evil z-movie fare, but fun nonetheless. The 'glowing hand' bit is hilarious, too. This is Brick Bronsky in his most versatile role. I really enjoyed it, it's only available on DVD through the boxed-set, though, which is unfortunate, because the boxed-set sells for upwards of ninety dollars in various places. I got mine new for twenty bucks due to good circumstance, but if you can find it, check it out! You probably won't regret it.And there you have it, my awesome triple-review of the whole "Class of Nuke 'Em High" trilogy.If you haven't seen 'em, and you're a fan of Troma, check them out, it's awesome to the max.If you're looking for sexiness or just a bit of the old ultra-violence, then this is for you!

I have always been a fan of Troma movies ever since I can remember. The Toxic Avenger movies are my favorites, but the Class of Nuke 'Em High parts one and 2 come in a close 2nd. Part 3, not so much. But 2 out of 3 ain't bad as Meatloaf says. I really liked the newest one in the series too, "Return to Nuke 'Em High", but that is not a part of this box set. The first and original one in the series is the best, it is a true 80's B-movie classic. I love part 2 for it's complete over-the top ridiculousness, the zany characters, and of course the loveable giant mutant squirrel, Tromie.This boxed set gives you all three original films, plus some great commentaries, interviews with some of the cast members, trailers, promos, and other behind the scenes tidbits of info and clips. Just buy it!My only complaint is that I did not receive my "I Love Tromaville High School" bumper sticker with the set as was advertised on the front of the box. Otherwise it's a great collection that I will enjoy watching for years to come. Thanks, Troma, and congratulations on 40 years of Reel Independence!

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.

Get this while you can if you like troma or class of nukem high, it is hard to get the third movie unless you get this box set.

One of the best theologies ever. Sadly mine did not come with the free bumper sticker as promised. Too bad cuz I definitely wanted to put it on my truck.

I couldn't believe my eyes when i seen they had this movie in a box set i had to have it......it had been years since i watched these movie and i got to see part 3 for the first time love the low budget at its best! well perfect movie for when your getting right and need something funny/crazy to keep you entertained

Love these films. Wonderful set. However, mine did not come with a bumper sticker as advertised on the packaging.

i will give this movie a 4 star very funny however dvd was defective when buy it next time i am buy on blueray

One expects that if you're considering buying this collection, you're already a Troma fan, but if you are somehow unfamiliar with Lloyd Kaufmann's and Michael Herz's cinematic empire, let me provide a brief overview. Troma Films have been described as "stupid movies for clever people", and that pretty much sums it up: these flicks are irredeemably cheap, funny, gory, dumb and cartoonishly perverse. Detested by both the `serious' exploitation film fan and the cinematic mainstream, Troma has carved a unique punk niche in the world of movies, in part due to it being a niche no-one else would want to carve. Is that a criticism? Not at all! I love these ridiculous films, and this series most of all. So let's delve into the vat of toxic gunk and see what's in store.The `Class of Nuke `Em High' trilogy (or spillogy) is a trio of films dwelling on the trials and tribulations of going to a high school situated on the doorstep of a nuclear power plant. Part One is the closest to a `straight' horror film of the three, but don't let that fool you: straight by Troma's standards is still warped, ludicrous and insane by anyone else's. Inevitably, it features plenty of nuclear waste-related mutation and gloriously repulsive 80's action. (Released in 1986, it's not hard to imagine the spectre of Chernobyl lurking in the minds of Michael and Lloyd and fuelling the film's reception as an over-the-top `Return of the Living Dead' style meditation on nuclear paranoia.)Part Two is my personal favourite of the trilogy, in large part due to its repeated (some might say endless) screenings on the Bravo channel in the latter half of the 1990s. A sequel in name only, with really very little bar the scholastic setting to connect it to the first film, `Subhumanoid Meltdown' is a triumph of tat. Indeed, the joyously awful theme song, which seems to play almost constantly throughout the film, will quickly worm its way into your brain and refuse to leave. The wonderfully named Brick Bronsky plays Roger, our distinctly smelly yet highly endearing hero, a college journalist and general muscleman who is viewed as inexplicably repugnant by the opposite sex. However, his fortunes soon change, as taking part in a campus experiment leads to his meeting a genetically engineered sub-humanoid (complete with an extra mouth in her stomach) who will change his life. Meanwhile, Roger also investigates the mystery of his mysteriously melting peers, whose degenerating bodies leave only slime and angry little furry creatures who are then captured by Lisa Gaye's scientist supreme, a woman whose towering monolith of hair would make Marge Simpson deeply envious. Oh, and some stray toxic waste from the local Nukamama Corporation seems to be having interesting effects on the local wildlife...Part Three is a direct sequel to Two, and features Roger's twin offspring, Adlai and Dick, separated at birth and rapidly grown due to their modified hybrid genetic structure. Good twin and bad twin square off against each other, using their mutant powers, while Roger's busy running Tromaville. The title's a bit of a cheat though - the Tromaville Institute of Technology was destroyed in Part Two! Not quite as strong as its prequel, this is a nonetheless welcome conclusion to the trilogy, and features about as much of the deeply deadpan Brick Bronsky as anyone could conceivably handle.So why would you want to own these films? Well, earlier I referred to Troma as a fairly punk company, and these movies epitomise that: what they lack in film-making talent, coherence and all that respectable stuff, they make up for with tons of energy, enthusiasm, bad acting, bad songs, bad special effects and badass attitude. They are patently ludicrous but don't pretend to be anything else. Besides, Troma are extremely good to their fans: each of these DVDs are absolutely full to the brim with extras, commentaries and features. You even get a Tromaville High bumper sticker! Tromie the Nuclear Squirrel demands you check `em out.

si son fans de esta saga muy recomendable para coleccion no duden en comprarla de 10 la peli y para guardarla no esta mal

Lloyd Kaufman is a genius. And Troma movies are all great movies. If it says Lloyd Kauffman, buy it
