Class of 1999 II: The Substitute Trailers

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.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

A lame, by-the-numbers science fiction thriller. Occasionally I don't know why I bother watching films; the feeling hit me when watching this. One of those absolutely pointless, low-budget sequels designed to cash in, this offers nothing at all of worth. The reason I got it? The pictures on the box, sad to say. They showed some androids which looked pretty good, but on actual viewing of the film, there is none of this. In fact the reason I watched it was to wait and see the actual special effects of the robots - which were shown on the back cover. Come the twist ending, I realised that I had been horribly mislead. The substitute of the title is in fact NOT an android, instead a de-programmed man who struggles with his human nature. What a letdown!The only special effects of note are a few uninspired death scenes and shootings - but there's no gore to speak of, at least nothing is as graphic as you would come to expect. The film shambles on from scene to boring scene, involving us in stupid and pointless teachers who sleep together a lot, argue and fight. The acting is incredibly bad - even worse than in a television movie. The substitute bloke is played by someone out of KICKBOXER 2, which tells you something about the level this film achieved. I had a quick look at some info on the first film in this series, and was amazed to see the cast including Malcolm McDowell and Pam Grier. What happened here! We get one nobody and a whole group of non-actors and actresses. It's insulting.While there are a few okay-ish moments involving the sub murdering the students he doesn't like, these aren't really handled very well at all. They're not violent enough and there's nothing memorable. What little budget was available was obviously wasted on some huge explosions, which are nice to look at but, as is the case with the rest of the film, lack substance. How many times do we have to watch the android bloke walk towards the camera while something explodes behind him? To make matters worse, some interesting-looking clips are shown - from the first film, presumably, just to rub in what we're missing out on here.The big finale involves happenings at a paintball game, giving you some idea of the tiny scale events are played out on here. You know it's a low budget film when the background is bare and lacking in decoration or other actors (as it frequently is here). Events draw out for a ridiculously suspended "will he kill he or won't he" sequence where the substitute repeatedly tries to kill the heroine before being stopped (either by himself or by somebody else). I could have told you the outcome from reading the back of the box. This is a film to avoid at all costs, as it's entirely, utterly pointless.

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.

Sasha Mitchell stars as John Bolen an android teacher (From the original) who terminates a bunch of unruly kids and some innocent ones just for the hell of it in this baffling sequel. What one is baffled about is that this is a sequel to Class Of 1984 and Class Of 1999 yet it's still has a 2 in it's title. Sasha Mitchell is the only reason to see this undistinguished fare, since he's the only one who seems well suited to the part. It would've been nicer had Mitchell done more kickboxing and been the main villain but Razatos never overcomes this dilemma and in the end makes Mitchell into an anti-hero. Sadly the kids this time are so irritating that you can't help but find Mitchell lovable, being that he's wiping out the most obnoxious kids this side of a Saved By The Bell episode.2/5 Matt Bronson

Well I never saw the first class of 1999 so I can't say anything about that. But Class of 1999 part II was okay. OK the acting was pretty bad and there were too many corny lines that were tried to be played off seriously, but the fighting was good when there was some (the movie was a little boring), Sasha Mitchell really does know how to fight in real life so at least the hand to hand fighting was realistic and somewhat interesting. Perhaps the best reason to watch this movie is the incredibly hot lead lady played by Caitlin Dulany. Although her character is naive, corny, and a little overplayed, She's still very hot and she was willing to do a nude sex scene in this film so it wasn't a total waste of time. Overall I give this movie a 6/10 rating. Maybe I didn't think the movie was so terrible because I like Sasha Mitchell and hot babes that do sex scenes. I guess I would recommend this movie.
