Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Pluskylang Great Film overall

BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

CLOSE_6 I've gotta start by saying that I'm quite a fan of both 1984, and it's massively entertaining, sort of pseudo sequel 1999.originally watching this film when first arriving on VHS (as I said being a big fan of 1999, the mere sniff of a sequel was all it would take to sucker me in a second time) I was hugely disappointed, where were the androids? where was the dystopian vision of the school system gone crazy, where was Stacey Keach's fantastic haircut and scary as hell eyes? where were the effects, where was the gore?Upon a recent, beer soaked viewing of 1999 I thought why the hell not, lets wind up the old VHS player and give it another spin. And ya know what I'm glad I did.Whilst this is by no ways a great film, in fact it's not even a good 1999 sequel, it does have some interesting ideas (most of which are thrown out the window)It all looks very 90's in that crossworlds, warlock 2, kinda way and the point of the original is completely lost, but the idea of the substitute, fighting against positive emotions (e.g his unexpected and unwanted feelings towards Jenna) the fact that he's not even like a killer android, more just a literature spouting, psycho ex-seal suffering from a real bad case of green eyes, adds some sort of Frankenstein meets fatal attraction element.The acting is relatively mediocre, Sasha Mitchel is as emotionless and stiff as the character he's playing, as is pretty much everybody else and the direction is as simple and uninspiring as the soundtrack. The twist ending just adds to confuse matters I mean If he's not an android it still fails to explain how he manages to fire continuously for about five minutes without having to reload once, or how he can still throw some unruly, orange jump suited street punk student through a brick wall, I know these seals are tough, but really?As for the very final shots of Jenna getting ready to teach a new class, loaded up with Johns knife, gun, kevlar vest and a new mission statement, massively betray her character, turning the rule abiding, war game loving belief's of the android into an ideal, instead of a malfunction.Yet despite all of this I still quite enjoyed it, fun if you fancy a cheesy 90's, lowish budgeted sort of scfi action thriller, it deserves better than 3.8, not much better mind but fun all the same :)

homecoming8 "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 !

Horrorible_Horror_Films 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.

Lee-Jay Class of 1999 is in my opinion a good film. This is one of those films where you like it or you don't .. Sasha Mitchell is very good as John Bolen. Although it is a low budget film, the story is very smooth running with some memorable moments. Sasha Mitchell who originally starred in Dallas, comes across nicely as the school teacher with a secret, inside he is in conflict between all the traits that he holds dear. This is in one of my favourite films. *****
