The Class of Nuke 'Em High is Troma's follow-up to The Toxic Avenger. Back in the 80's, Troma was able to move a lot of copies of Nuke 'Em High because video stores were so eager to fill their shelves that they'd buy an equal amount of Nuke 'Em Highs as they would Back to the Futures. I remember finding my copy in the discount bin at a K-Mart in 1990. Nowadays, the major studios provide plenty of wasteful movies for K-Mart to clutter their bins with so a movie like Nuke 'Em High doesn't stand much of a chance. Well, maybe it didn't have a chance back then, either, and we'll all have to figure out Troma's secret. Nuke 'Em High is better than Citizen Kane.
Followed by two all-right sequels that should've been directed by Lloyd Kaufman.
In the trailer, listen for when the narrator says, "THE CLASS OF NUKE 'EM HIGH!" It's my all-time favorite voiceover in a trailer.
