Review of Class of 1984 (1982) by Kris W — 20 Oct 2010

"We are the future!... and nothing can stop us.".

"Class of 1984. Is this the future?".

"Andy Norris: a man equipped to deal with students. But they pushed him to the limit that has gone too far. Now he's about to teach the Class of 1984 the most dangerous lesson they deserve.".

"Look at us. We are the future. You can't stop us. Don't even try.".

"The teachers at Lincoln High have a very dangerous problem... their students!".

80's cult classic, if the gang from A Clockwork Orange actually went to high school, this would b that movie. The first half is really good, the 2nd half more genereic and predictable, but considering when it came out, it's very influnential.

Staring Perry King (Lords of Flatbush), Roddy Mcdowall (Planet fo the Apes), and featuring a very young Michael J Fox in one of his earliest roles. Also, the main song for the film is sung by Alice Cooper.

The original title for the film Class of Nuke 'Em High was simply; 'Nuke 'Em High'. It was changed in hopes of people mistaking it for Class of 1984.

Peter Stegman: Life is pain. Pain is everything.

Peter Stegman: I am the future!

Terry Corrigan: I'll bet I know who you are. You're Mr. Goldstein's replacement. Terry Corrigan, biology.

Andrew Norris: Andy Norris, music. What's the gun for?

Terry Corrigan: Where have you been teaching lately?

Andrew Norris: Lately? Nowhere.

Terry Corrigan: It figures.

Deneen: You jerks don't belong here.

Peter Stegman: Shut your hole, you little dyke!

Peter Stegman: Face the music... teacher teacher.

Andrew Norris: Wait a minute, you're in this class. Sit down.

Peter Stegman: [gives him the finger] Sit on this, motherfucker.

Andrew Norris: What's the matter with you?

Peter Stegman: What's the matter with you? What's the matter with me? What's the matter with matter?

Peter Stegman: I've had it with you, Leroy. I mean, uh, enough is enough.

Leroy: Hey, man, listen... I didn't do nothin' man.

Peter Stegman: What the fuck... you think I was born yesterday?

Leroy: Hey, man... what's goin' on here?

Peter Stegman: [brutally beating him] We're the only niggers that sell shit in this school.

Joo Joo: I'ma gonna kill yo', sucka! No one messes around wit' my man, Leroy. I'm gonna cut you, white-meat.

Peter Stegman: Cut this!

[a gang battle ensues].

Peter Stegman: [after playing a piano concerto] Do I get the gig, teacher?

Andrew Norris: Where'd you learn how to play that?

Peter Stegman: Do I get the fuckin' gig?

Andrew Norris: No. Maybe I'll give you a shot when you grow up, now get out.

Peter Stegman: Stegman doesn't play in anybody's asshole band, anyway.

Peter Stegman: When it comes to killin', teacher teacher's just got too much to lose... otherwise, you coulda done me right. Like this!

[busts his head open against a mirror].

Andrew Norris: You hurt her, I'll kill you! I swear to God I'll kill you!

[Patsy taunts Andy].

Patsy: Come and get it, teacher teacher!

[kiss kiss kiss; chuckles].
