Class Of Nuke ‘Em High (1986) 85min English sound with autocaps VPN:D
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Nuke ‘Em High is the public school of Tromaville, pop 15k, the toxic chemical capital of the world. Of course they have a nuclear power plant there, and soon the innocent hero and his girlfriend smoke a joint made of radioactive weed before they do the naughty thing. While he gets the power to temporarily hulk out, she soon gives birth to the new school mascot.
Basically this is a very well done comedy pandering to the younger audience. It’s mostly about the joys of sex and drugs and violence (there even is some gratuitous (and silicone free) nudity included for those who who have not had any live action yet). Of course I resent that. Violence may be a splendid pleasure for the sadist, but I still say it’s despicable.
It is quite impressive just how prophetic this movie is: the ruthless dealers in this movie pimp their herbs with radioactivity very much like their today’s counterparts do with dubious synthetic drugs. Also, the villains in this movie sing the national anthem and use meaningless patriotic catchphrases, and after they got kicked out of the white house, ehm, I mean out of school, they soon return to spread violence and terror and bloodshed. Life imitates art indeed.
All in all this movie is superb, I’d give it 5* if only the jokes were a little funnier, and I know that I will watch more Troma movies in the future.
