I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Very best movie i ever watch

Purely Joyful Movie!

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Yeah, certainly it represents not a mainstream movie, also not a masterpiece. But, if you need to spend almost 90 minutes of brainless time this pseudosequel is good. The protagonist, Sasha Mitchell, plays good his role of cruel cyborg teacher, killing and destroying all things he hates around him. In fact, the scene of the incipit (with a school gang burned in a car) shows up it all, exploding in a gratuitous exploitation. Have a nice vision!

In the future of 1999, punks rule the hallways and classrooms of our nation's schools. Sure, they may look like they're between 35 and 40 years old, but they still enjoy spray-painting the walls and causing general mayhem. But not if John Bolen (Mitchell) has anything to say about it. Bolen is a stone-faced cybernetic organism that believes just about everything in the world "leads to anarchy". So he stops problems at their source by violently killing anyone he believes to be a no-goodnik. When a young, pretty, and somewhat naive teacher, Jenna McKensie (Dulany) wants to testify in a trial because she witnessed a murder perpetrated by evil student in his mid 30's Sanders (West), school authorities do nothing, local cops advise against it, and her boyfriend Emmett (Cassavetes) is relatively ineffectual. It's a good thing John Bolen is here to bring corporal punishment back to the school system! For some unknown reason, Jenna actually takes a shine to the possibly misunderstood killer robot. But when Bolen flips out and can no longer "maintain order", will he mistakenly turn on Jenna? Find out today! Why a second sequel to Class of 1984 (1982) - let's not forget about Class of 1999 (1990) - technically speaking, needed to exist, we don't exactly know - but there's plenty of fun to be had here. Because it was filmed in the 90's, it not only has some VR (because in the future students will learn using those big, bulky masks), but the final third of the film actually is a Paintball Gone Wrong, or PGW, slog. But therein lies one of the problems with the movie. It moves along at a nice clip for a little over the first half, but then slows way down towards the end. It's almost like a robot running out of fuel. It needed to have a giant lunch like John Bolen does in the movie. The movie is at is best when Bolen is going around killing punks, but can that sustain a whole 90 minute film? Sasha Mitchell is great as Bolen. Imagine a robotic Keanu Reeves. Which shouldn't be too tough. Mitchell as this Keanu-bot shines in his role, especially when he just stands there emotionlessly after walking away from an explosion. Most people would continue to walk. He just stands. That's just how emotionless he is. He really meets his match against the punks (even in the end credits, they're known as "punks"). They tend to wear jumpsuits, and have strange makeup and bizarre hair. Because it's the future, you see. Sometimes they even wear their jumpsuit with a leather vest. Now that's a fashion statement. But as we've seen before, Bolen has an all-black "revenge outfit" that he puts on when things get serious. Mitchell has some good lines and some very entertaining stone-faces that help the movie along. But once it gets to the PGW section, the movie as a whole seems to lose focus and go off the rails.The whole venture is classic 90's, from the VR to the PGW. The VHS seemed to be a video store mainstay back in the day. While some people may say this movie is nothing more than a "Substitute" for a better film, we say it brings back video store memories and isn't bad. And any movie that takes place in the future which is now the past gets extra points in our book.

I saw Class of 1999 when I was a kid. Thought it was the bee's knees. Another kid in 7th grade said I should look at the sequel. Here I am, 17 years later watching this thing and wondering, whaaaaa???? All the mini plots had me a little confused and towards the end I didn't know who was who. The director could put anyone in there and I wouldn't know the difference.I watched it all the way through and in the last scene I was hoping for a killer robot teacher to rip the girl in half or at least come through my wall and rip me in half. Either way, there no killer robots. I was tricked and I feel violated.

There's so much wrong with "Class of 1999 II: The Substitute" I can hardly even begin to list it. And yet, this movie is so energetic and ambitious that I can't possibly bring myself to write overly harsh things about it. Director Spiro Razatos, primarily a stunt coordinator, tries to put a bit too many ideas in his film, but at least you always tell he had the best of intentions. Like Mark L. Lester's "Class of 1999" had few things in common with the original "Class of 1984", this "Class of 1999 II" has very few things in common with its predecessor as well. Gone is the grim and depressing futuristic wasteland ambiance of Lester's film, to be replaced with a normal present day small town setting with only a fairly ordinary juvenile delinquent problem rather and struggling with devastating gang wars. The high school and its population doesn't look that hopeless, even though the students are wearing orange jump suits resembling a prisoner's outfit, and there even still are some teachers – like the lovely Miss. McKenzie – who believe in righteous values like education and discipline. I would say the latter sub plot has something to do with the huge success of "Dangerous Minds" (the actress Caitlin Delany even looks a lot like Michelle Pfeiffer) but "Class of 1999 II" actually came out one year prior, so I'm guessing it's just a coincidence. In the first film, the high school was located in the middle of a no-police-patrolling zone and two competing gangs were killing off each other. Now there's just ONE fatigue old copper to safeguard ONE beautiful young teacher who gets harassed by ONE youthful thug and a couple of his acolytes. In the original there also were three cyborg teachers whereas here there's only one and he even doesn't behave very robotic. Whoever said sequels always meant more, more, more?? John Bolen is the last remaining cyborg in its type, designed by the late Dr. Bob Forrest who was killed by his own creations at the end of the first film, and he infiltrates in a troublesome high-school by posing as a substitute teacher. He seemingly operates on his own initiative and he's also quite the kick boxer! He somewhat becomes the guarding angel of the noble Miss McKenzie, much against the will of her paint ball-instructor boyfriend and teenage assailants. Then there's also this weird, allegedly FBI- guy tracking John Bolon down because he knows about his robotic characteristics. "Class of 1999 II" is a thoroughly silly flick, but it nevertheless remains extremely enjoyable to watch. Undemanding Sci-Fi/horror fanatics will definitely benefice from the fact director Razatos is a stunt specialist. There are plenty of well-staged action sequences and virulent fights. Sasha Mitchell is decent as the supposedly (but not really) emotionless robo-teacher and grabs every possibility there is to demonstrate his impressive kick-boxing skills. Problem with him, however, is that I can't help seeing him in the role of slightly moronic cousin Cody in the stupid 90's sitcom "Step By Step". There are a couple of wickedly far-fetched and crazy plot twists near the end as well as a spectacular death toll during a game of paint balling. This is the second 90's horror flick, after "Child's Play 3" in which a game of paint ball turns into a bloody massacre.
