Kitsch, dark, twisted masterpiece from the 80s!! A nice film that turns into an ode to anarchy after a while and then into a cheesy horror flick, almost slasher-flick. Anyways, it's a prophetic film that goes too far without going THAT far with an OUT-OF-THIS-FUCKIN-LUNATIC-WORLD...( read more)
The movie isn't a masterpiece by any standards but it's a fun film to watch.
It is a brutal and increasingly violent thriller BUT I still prefer the sequel ¨Class of 1999¨
A violent 80's movie. Overall pretty good, a bit cheesy, and a couple disturbing scenes.
love the soundtrack its perfectly fits the movie i am the future by alice cooper. its about teacher's enemy.. group of punk kids they do drugs.selling and disobey the school regulations. totally psychotic little misfits. those bastards was learned their lesson when a new music te...( read more)
The sequal Class of 1999 does not rank anywhere near this one. This is the original and probably the best out of The Substitute genre. Minus the Richard Brooks film Blackboard Jungle. Perry King delivers a truly great performance here as a teacher fighting ba...( read more)
I love this movie!!!!From Alice Coopers I am the future to the final confrontation between Mr.Norris and the punks.The film has a gritty,grungy feel to it with a school which looked like it should have been in some war torn country with its guards and metal detectors.The cast was great with Perry King doing a decent job as Mr. Norris.Roddy Mcdowall was great as a fellow teacher at the school especially in the scene where he flips out and is waving the gun at the punks in his class and actually getting the correct answers from some of them!!!!Timothy Van Patten is excellent as the head punk,very intelligent but very evil and nasty as well.But the actress who really made this a great film for me was Lisa Langlois as Patsy.She was one sexy bad ass girl!!!!!In the one scene where the punks are chasing Michael J. Fox and a friend down an alley she picked up and broke a bottle and stuck it under the girls neck.She was just as nasty as her male cohorts.Great Flick!!!!
