Review of Class of 1999 (1990) by Ola G — 03 Nov 2014

Set in the future, youth gang violence is so high that the areas around some schools have become "free fire zones", into which not even the Police will venture. When Dr. Miles Langford (Malcolm McDowell), the Principal of Kennedy High School in Seattle, decides to take his school back from the gangs, Megatech robotics specialist Dr. Robert Forrest (Stacy Keach) provides "tactical education units", consisting of Mr. Bryles (Patrick Kilpatrick), Ms. Connors (Pam Grier), and Mr. Hardin (John Ryan) for a new pilot enforcement agency called the Department of Educational Defense (D.E.D.). These humanoids have been programmed to teach and are supplied with weapons to discipline trouble-makers. The androids soon overstep their authority, causing the students to fight back...

"Class of 1999" is a 1990 American science fiction film directed by Mark L. Lester and the follow-up to his 1982 cult classic "Class of 1984". Not sure why this was made as this follow up to the great "Class of 1984" is not even close to the original. This is just a spot on b-action vehicle with some ok names in it, but with mostly crappy acting, crappy effects and a storyline that´s partly ripping off the platform from John Carpenter´s "Escape from New York". The only real enjoyment for me was the beautiful Pam Grier.
