So remember that movie where Edward James Olmos stars as the teacher with the big glasses who gets his gang banger students to learn math and of course, stand and deliver results. This is not that movie. Or the one where Michelle Pfeiffer wears a leather jacket blazer and gets a bunch of inner city ghetto youths to learn, cry, and even play pool at one point. It’s not that movie either.
This is Class of 1984, a ridiculous movie about a teacher’s revenge on a gang of Nazi punk students. In the end these punks get a lot more than detention! I’m not even going to pretend that this is a good movie but it definitely had a few redeeming qualities. Not one, but two car explosions (!!!), a theme song by Alice Cooper, an over the top ending, and a special appearance by a chubby young Michael J. Fox. Okay, maybe it wasn’t that bad.*













* Actually, it really was that bad.
