EDITOR’S NOTE: Class of Nuke ‘Em High was on USA Up All Night on February 8 and 9 and September 14, 1991 and March 20 and June 6, 1992.

Directed by Richard W. Haines, Michael Herz and Lloyd Kaufman as Samuel Well and written by Kaufman, Richard W. Haines, Mark Rudnitsky and Stuart Strutin, Class of Nuke ‘Em High is about New Jersey’s Tromaville High School, a school in the shadow of an unsafe nuclear reactor that goes into the drinking water. This turns the honor students into a gang called The Cretins.

They also sell drugs and that’s how Eddie (James Nugent Vernon) gets the radiative joint that gets trampled at a dance and causes Warren (Gil Brenton) and Chrissy (Janelle Brady) to have sex and dream of mutating. She’s instantly pregnant and throws up their child into a toilet where it escapes and becomes a gigantic mutant just in time for Warren to go to war with The Cretins.

This movie somehow has four sequels — Class of Nuke ‘Em High 2: Subhumanoid Meltdown, Class of Nuke ‘Em High 3: The Good, the Bad and the Subhumanoid, Return to Nuke ‘Em High Volume 1 and Return to Return to Nuke ‘Em High AKA Volume 2 — and I have to say that so far, the second one is perhaps the best movie I’ve seen from Troma. That bar was tripped over but I still enjoyed it.

I actually liked this one too. What is happening? Is the radiation making my brain lumpy enough to actually like Troma?

You can watch this on Tubi.
