Review of Revenge of the Nerds (1984) by Byron B — 18 Sep 2011
After re-watching this for at least the fourth time, I guess it is time to add to my review a bit. This is not a great piece of art. It has a crass sense of humor, but it has a classic aspect with lovable misfits that I could watch again and again.
It begins modestly with Lewis (Carradine) and Gilbert (Edwards) beginning their college lives. Once Lewis and Gilbert are not chosen by a fraternity along with Poindexter, Wormser, Booger (Booger is awesome!), Lamar and Takashi as well as other miscellaneous outcasts, freaks and geeks it picks up.
The "Nerds" have their own brand of fun and fight to overcome the abusive Alpha jocks and pretty Pi's. Through pranks of revenge, being accepted by the predominantly African American fraternity Lamda Lamda Lamda, and a stunner of a techno performance at the conclusion of the college carnival this bunch of "Nerds" prove that We Are the Champions.
