Class of 1999 II: The Substitute
In the original movie, the cyborg-teachers were all destroyed. Well that's what we thought, but there's one more rogue military robot out there determined to clean up the education system.

How sad is this?
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
"Class Of 1999" (1989) was a sequel to "Class Of 1984", both directed by Mark L. Lester (Commando). They were both completely different films. That is also the case with "Class Of 1999 II: The Substitute". A completely different cast and even another director this time. Spiro Razatos is in fact a stunt-coordinator which shows in this movie: dodging from bullets, flying through windows: it is all nicely done and it really shows on the screen. I thought that Sasha Mitchell (Kickboxer sequels) handled his role pretty well. The story has a couple of flashbacks from the original movie, but that is about it concerning any big special effects: (WARNING SPOILER !!) It all turns out that teacher Bowen is not a WarDroid but in fact the psychotic son of the professor in the first movie. Kind of a surprise but also a letdown: a smart way to save on those expensive special effects make-up.. But still, I watched this movie last night and I hadn't seen it for 10 years or so. But I still liked it ! Just do not compare it to the original. And I can understand who some people do not like this movie, it is after all a hoax.. but a funny one at that !
This movie really does predict the future! It was made in 1994, and early in the movie there is a scene with the principle and he says something about president clinton being incited. Of course in 1999 he wasn't indicted, but he was impeached by the house! Wow! Conspiracy? Or just a really stupid movie? OK, the past 3 days I have watched "Saturn 3", "Shredder" and now "Class of 1999 II: The Substitute" and by far Class of 1999 II was the worse, compare all 3 movies, that is really saying something. This stupid piece of crap didn't even have gruesome deaths to keep it interesting. The attempt at a meaningful plot made it so unbearable. The 'gangs' in this movie wear the most ridiclous clothes, who is going to be in a gang and look like that? Not worth watching at all, not even to laugh at.
From reading the other 'comments', I assume that this sequel was not true to the original. I found this film quite intriguing, and am glsd I missed the original. Now maybe I will watch it.It's development of the 'paint ball' warriors was informative as to how this activity actually goes on.But getting to the point - Jenna is extremely hot, especially in the flesh shown. I liked the plot - a crazy kid thinking he is a droid and developig droid characteristics - original. Usually, it's the other way around - a droid developing human characteristics.Too bad all low budget mush isn't this good.
Oh man, this braindead shlockfest looks like it just may have been made in someone's Califorina back yard! The acting is sub-porno, the sets would've made Ed Wood giggle & the dialog is some of the most unintentionally hilarious drivel ever to exude from a human head. In a weird way I recommend it, albeit only in a certain way. CLASS OF 1999 II is so relentlessly silly, cheap & badly acted that you can't help but play the home version of MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATRE 3000. If you're hanging out with a few friends & have downed a few beers (or other mind altering substances) this hapless craptacular can be highly entertaining. Sasha Mitchell's wooden non acting is awe inspiring (or perhaps vomit inducing). The film also contains one of the dopiest & most unerotic sex scenes since SHOWGIRLS. If you subscribe to Showtime this deliriously inept flick pops up a lot VERY late at night or early morning (for you wake-n-bakers).
