When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Before this and "The Toxic Avenger", Troma did really normal horror/thriller/erotica movies. It wasn't until "Combat Shock" that the movies got a little weird, but "The Toxic Avenger" and "Class of Nuke 'Em High" really started the whole toxic love obsession that has become associated with Mr. Kaufman and Troma."Class of Nuke 'Em High" is a simple story about Tromaville and it's one big problem, the nearby nuclear powerplant is infecting all the town's weed with toxic materials. And boy, the weed, nicknamed Atomic High, has bad side-effects. It starts messing with Chrissy and Warren's hormones. Problems increase when the school's gang takes over the school. Then a mutated monster, the effects of the powerplant, attacks the school and kills all the gang members. Using a really fake looking laser, Warren manages to kill the monster, and live happily, mutated ever after.Yes it is a trashy plot, and laughable to some, but for someone like I, it is an amazing plot. I can not put into words how much I love this movie. The scene where the geek starts spewing slime was awesome. Sure, the acting isn't the greatest, but it's good ol' fashioned trashy fun. A must see for anyone into tasteless movies.

*Spoiler/plot- 1986, Class of Nukem' High, An 'animal house; typical 80's teen movie about high school angst and sexual & social foul-ups. The two most repressed teenagers in Tromaville High have sex after being contaminated by nuclear waste seeping into the school's drinking water. Their mutant baby, a nuclear creature attacks and infects all parts of the student body with bloody and grizzly effects on their bodies. The mayhem continues until the town and army comes to the rescue to clear up the problem.*Special Stars- Janelle Brady plays the romantic lead with Gil Brenton playing her boyfriend.*Theme- School drinking fountains can be dangerous to all who use them innocently.*Based on- 'Animal House' and Zombie movies.*Trivia/location/goofs- This is a TROMA film. It has plenty of sex and guts, but not necessary the best story or acting on celluloid. Troma's own Animal House rip-off with a few inane twists of female topless nudity and dope use.*Emotion- A shallow but unintentionally hilarious film. The film has every film cliché' unimaginable due to extreme bad taste and writing of those involved. ONLY good for a rainy afternoon's mindless funnies.

I'm glad I was part (I was very young but still) of the Troma boom. Troma is a production company well known for crappy and sometimes cheesy movies. This isn't the exception! Oh no, "Class of Nuke 'Em High" has the winning formula that has given Troma a name in the business. We have cheap but likable f/x, glorious and gratuitous nudity, kick-ass action, cheap music , and campy acting. This is my kind of entertainment. Thank you USA's "Up All Night" for educating me on crap cinema. I got majors thanks for it.This movie has plenty of good black humor and intense action a la Troma. So you get a sui generis cheap action flick with the occasional mix of blood and boobs.No, don't expect a typical high school although in my teenager years I expected my school to look like this! A classic in Troma. If you want to get in the ideology of this noble production company, watch "Class of 'Nuke Em High". Jeez, even the title fits with everything.

Typical Troma-trash, this smutty 80's flick is considered one of the "highlights" of Lloyd Kaufman's notorious production studio, alongside "The Toxic Avenger" released one year earlier. "The Toxic Avenger" is far superior if you ask me, but this demented splatter-flick is nevertheless endurable as well; just make sure you leave your full brain capacity at the door. The events take place in Tromaville, a little town that proudly claims to be the toxic chemical capital of the world, and they certainly aren't lying. The safety precautions in the local nuclear power plant are substandard, to say the least (even Homer Simpson never was this nonchalant) and toxic waste seeps through to the nearby high school. The first intoxicated victim is the stereotypical nerd, who starts spurting green stuff out of all his body cavities, but his death is believed to be an accident because he had no less than TWO microwave ovens in his house! Oh, the humanity! Shortly after, however, the nuclear leaks also affect the school's weed plantation and thing really start to get messy. After smoking a joint at a party, the cutest couple in school produce a gigantic worm monster that settles in the basement and feeds on teenage scum. "Class of Nuke 'em High" is bottom-of-the-barrel horror film-making, with dialogs so dumb they hurt your ears and make-up effects that give a whole new meaning to the word tasteless. If you enjoy watching faces melting away, getting crushed or splitting in half, this is definitely a must-see! Unlike the aforementioned "The Toxic Avenger", this film suffers from a couple of really dull and overlong moments where nothing really significant happens, like for example when Chrissy and Warren try to figure out what's wrong with their hormones. The crude humor isn't as effective as in "Toxic Avenger" and the acting performances are unforgivably amateurish. Proceed only if you're an avid Troma-fanatic.
