This film is a bona-fide "drive-in" classic! The fact that hardly anyone knows of it just makes it that more special, just like another unknown classics "The Hidden"!
Class of 1984 is a very different type of film but its still a great movie! Class of 1999 II is very bad, with very low TV production values, but its still pretty entertaining. -

I remember watching this movie on HBO or Showtime (I can't remember which) when I was younger. I remember liking and would love to see it again to see if it still has it. My favorite lines would have to be "I was there, he was so wasted he didn't know which end the bullets came out." and "This is odd, usually when a woman has a black bra she has black panties to match." (Or something along those lines, it's been quite awhile since I've seen it)

Would actually have to say my favorite line is:
"TIMES CHANGE! ..brother."
oh, and:
"Your all beep PATHETIC!"
and good GOD, if John P. Ryan isn't the beep in this movie, I don't know what is.
Oh, and in saying that I would ahve to conclude with the following line:
"I operate from a model ofab-solute zero tolerance.." -

(G) ok, calm down right? um, perrybeth I have some questions, who says the quotes in the order you typed them?
Whats the scene with that "I was there, he was so wasted" quote? Forgive me, I havent seen this movie in ages and to think I used to watch it everyday when I was younger, tell me please? -

I just watched it. That line comes right after the first kill; that is the kid with the gun that the Phys Ed teacher kills, as the gun sets off the "War" mode. Cody sees the whole thing because whe was getting beaten to death by said cyborg.
The quotes from perrybeth are both said by Cody, in that order he said them. -

I was a BIG action nut in the early nineties even though I was like 8. I taped this movie on TMC, then watched it and was hooked for the next couple of years. This really is the ULTIMATE CULT MOVIE, and may have even prevented stuff like this from happening in real life. My mother was a high school teacher, and when she saw it, she thought that this is wehre things were going to lead. Perhaps enough people saw it and it gave them a wake up call to prevent it. A far out theory I know.

Yea i saw this with some friends late at night on Showtime about 9 years ago then I bought it on video a few years ago. I liked the whole B movie vibe and the very dark and violent tone. It also reminded me of the Principal. I also liked the characters and even tho they were kind of bad as well they were still good and just dealing with their surroundings. Oddly enough I wound up going to a continuation school for "bad kids" in 1999 for selling weed. No robot teachers tho but plenty of gangsters!
Anyways compared to this movie the sequal sucks and has no substance.
However I recently watched Class of 1984 and it is just as good as Class of 1999 if not better. Only difference is the punk students try to kill the teacher. There is also a great performance by a young Michael J. Fox. -

Those who called this the ultimate drive-in movie are absolutely correct, even though drive-in theaters have long been gone from the landscape. These days, it makes a great late night TV entertainment. Director Mark Lester has done better work, like COMMANDO, but this is a terrifically loopy sci-fi satire the likes of which have rarely been seen. Everyone should see it at least once.

You are right! I live in Spain and rented this classic by a chance. I absolutelly fell in love with it, buying the tape in the process and watching it hundred of times over the years. I cant understand why this film is ignored and apparently forgotten. It has one of the most entertaining ultra-violent-but-great-fun action films I can remember and quickly becomes an all time favorite.
Great visuals, Great acting (Fabio and Cody are great), GREAT music and GREAT fun. Will love to discuss this great movie with anyone! Toni -

It makes me so proud that I am not the only one in love with this movie. I still remember watching this movie when I was 6 and it's still very close to my heart.
I love John P. Ryan, I love the theme "Come the Day", and I love this movie! -

Add me to tha fan list ha! I remember I must of been 11 or something when this first came on to HBO or something, my friends parents were gone and we were watching all the late night/early morning bad not for kids to see stuff and came across this. I was so amazed then as I am now. They should totally release this as dvd for the US.
And who could believe I liked Cody character I tried to be like him school minus all the violence, but I liked how he had the banzana and backwards cap look lol. Even drew a blackheart tattoo thing on me and again, I was just 11 haha. -

I first saw this movie when I was 17. I was at boarding school in Melbourne Australia and living at school was pretty dull. One of my mates from Malaysia had a large collection of VCDs and 'Class of 1999' was a real gold plated treasure! At first I wasn't aware of this film and the first couple of minutes of the film it "stunk" of straight to video cheese. However, I wasn't prepared for a life changing occurance. This movie was just damn entertaining and quite possibly one of the only b-movies I've become obsessed with. In fact, my friends and I watch this film over and over and never get bored of it.
