The setup: The pupils at a high school next to a nuclear power plant start acting and looking strange after buying contaminated drugs from a plant worker.The verdict: The first half is actually quite good, as it occasionally borders on being a clever satire. The big weak spot of this film is low budget, but try not to pay attention and enjoy the film. It is a pretty unnecessary film. This story is dumb and average. Was anybody serious about this film? There's really no way to classify or categorize this film. I don't know why I watch the movies I do, because I always waste at least three hours a week watching crappy movies.

If you loved The Toxic Avenger then you'll like Class of Nukem High. Brief scenes of nudity, nothing too salacious. I really like the bad guys in this flick and the motorcycles they ride. As a stoner I really liked the marijuana references! The special affects were pretty good considering how low budget this movie was. I still watch this movie just for it's campy corn-ball appeal. I especially love to show it to people who've never seen it, it's always worth a laugh. This great flick is available to watch right now on Netflix streaming. Not a ton of gratuitous T&A but really captures the gritty nature that is Troma and all of Troma's films.

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.
