Oh, my father worked on this film! He was one of the set designers. When I was a kid, he took me to an old building they were dressing up for a scene once. He tells the story to this day of how he had gotten a hold of a copy of the script and approached some of the producers during a shoot. He wanted to know why a script that seemed so awful was being made into a movie and asked them about it. They said they were actually well aware it was an absurd concept with an absurd script, but they were targeting niche audiences who were into this kind of thing and expected strong direct video sales from that group. An absurd script was part of the appeal that target was into, and prior experience suggested that they wouldn't have much critical acclaim or mainstream popularity but the budget-to-profit ratio was good enough that they were confident it was worthwhile to make. So that theater-bomb return was expected, the video release was always the end goal. My father hadn't really considered it from a pure marketing perspective, but it was a well-enough paying gig so he didn't really have any complaints after that.

How have I missed this movie? I'm glad you found this and covered it. I'm gonna have to go find a copy to watch for myself.

This is wacky fun! Definitely popcorn material. Sit back with some cold ones 🍻🍺🍻it’s silly & over the top , but somehow slightly entertaining. Oh yeah Ms. Pam Grier 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽HELL YES !!!! Brandon start reviewing Blaxploitation!!!! CAN’T WAIT!!!! Dolemite, Foxy Brown, TNT Jackson , Black Belt Jones , Black Caesar, Cleopatra Jones, etc. Go for it!!

Well, I guess I know what i'm adding to my monthy "Insane movie" night.

Stacy Keach must be the only actor alive who could rock that abomination of a "hairstyle" and yet look decidedly worse once he turns to FACE the camera!

Let's go brandon, you sir Are in a roll!

So glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks of that MST3K bit when forklifts are mentioned.

class of 1999 is midnight hbo gold, i remember they would play toxic avenger after this movie a lot

Lawrence Kasdan was the executive producer? The guy who wrote Raiders of the Lost Arc? Small world.

16:42 "Oh no! Bullets at point blank range! My one weakness!" 18:03 Exterminate? What do they think they are, Daleks? And if there's a perfect time to review a Blaxploitation flick, it's February.

"Aah, blame it to violent videogames and Marilyn Manson, I'm sure it'll be fine." And GUNS. Don't forget to blame GUNNNZ!

This sequel baffles me to no end. The original was a fairly gritty and mean spirited film about unruly teenagers and unlawfulness becoming the norm in schools. So why not follow it up with ROBOTS?!

Liked the sequel but the idea of him being the original scientist's son was a odd decision.

The 80's formula Add the following: Robots, ninjas, South American drug cartels, weird multicultural punk gangs, etc.

I do like that the apocalyptic war-zone schools of the wasteland Future are actually better equipped than a lot of inner-city schools today. Humanity; boldly out-doing our most pessimistic prognosticators since, well, pretty much ever. Wait, Stacy Keach was just a weird human? They seemed to be setting-up a "the "human" commander was a secret android all along" Alien-Ash twist pretty heavily. Did they forget?

I was born in 1981 and graduated in 1999. I remember watching it a pre-teen and I was keenly aware that I’d be graduating in the Class of ‘99 and that this could be my future… but it felt very unlikely.

Great video, as always! Saw this one in the theaters the day it was released. I forgot how much fun it was!

Well this movie came out in 1990 back when there were a slew of terminator knock offs. You should review "Nemesis" I did like the film though, there has always been a charm to late 80s and early 90s sci-fi.

@@Henrik_Holst Nemesis is awesome, but Nemesis 2: Nebula is surprisingly decent - it is essentially The Terminator meets Predator as we have female bodybuilder Sue Price in Africa fighting a time-travelling cyborg that looks like Skynet decided to copy Predators... Or as the fans used to call it the "Predinator".

Damn I love this movie, watched it on Cinemax constantly back in the day! Love your channel, I want to see some Beastmaster please.

Golly, I don't remember hearing about killer robo-teachers when I was 15!

Yes he did one of the three I asked for. I gave him the options of zeiram, gall force Eternal story, and of course the one he went with class of 1999. Thank you for doing it.
