Once again, the setting is an embattled high school, where no mere mortal teacher dare walk the corridors. To keep the homicidally-inclined student body in line, a fleet of android teachers are put on the faculty. The robots went ballistic in Class of 1999, inspiring their students to new heights of mayhem. In the sequel, rogue android Sasha Michael, though trained to kill, attempts to try less drastic means to get through to the students. Michael is shadowed by a sinister stranger, who will not be satisfied unless the android does what he (it?) is ordered to do. Like its predecessor, Class of 1999, Part 2: The Substitute is a very hard "R." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Third sequel in the series and this one continues the theme of the robotic killer teachers, this time the last one is suppose to be A.W.O.L with a CIA op after him/it so he can make more of the deadly robots. Enter 'Kickboxer' star Sasha Mitchell looking like 'Johnny Mnemonic' and Keanu Reeves' brother all at the same time yet with even more dubious acting skills, if any. We see some martial arts but not too much, we see some yobs getting beaten up by Johnny er I mean Sasha and we see plenty of cliched characters that were much better and more fun in the last two films. The main problem here is the film isn't really based within a school anymore, its more of a thriller with everything but the school environment so its hardly worthy of the title 'Class of 1999'. Other silly issues crop up like the robot teacher seemingly developing a crush on a fellow female teacher and then without warning deciding to kill absolutely everyone it see's. No cool effects, no cult casting and no fun looking sets and costumes, this wasn't needed in all honesty, mid 90's and too late to pull off what the first two managed.
