While a sequel to Class of 1999, none of the storylines cross over from that film. There is, however, flashback footage on hand to help pad out the running time and give some vague remembrance of what has gone on before.
This movie is the very definition of a “the store’s closing, you better grab something” VHS rental era pick.
John Bolen — no relation to my old roommate and TNA Gut Check winner — is the new substitute teacher in Bend, Oregon. He beats up some punks for skipping class and when another teacher threatens to narc on him, he breaks the guy’s neck. John is played by Sasha Mitchell, who was Cody Lambert on Step by Step.
While obviously one of the androids from the last movie, John can still fall in love with a fellow teacher and go to war with a museum currator played by Nick Cassavetes (The Wraith).
There is also much paintballing and a year before Monica Lewinsky mention that Clinton had been indicted.
Originally called Class of 2001: The Substitute, this was directed by Spiro Razatos, who is still doing stunt work on this day on movies like the new Fast and the Furious and the Marvel films.
You can watch this on Tubi.
Man, I watched this last september, so not that long ago, but when I saw the title here, at first I thought you accidentally posted the article about the first movie twice…
I did not remember this one existed at all, it’s so mediocre.
