Operation Kleinhirn

A rather unnecessary third movie, and it just felt like the writers were beating a dead horse by this point. It was essentially just a re-write of the first movie, but with some added material to incorporate some of the characters from the first two movies. Writers Steve Zacharias and Jeff Buhai really took the easy way out here and just re-wrote the script from the first movie, so talk about lazy writing. And just as in the previous movie, another of the bullies went 360 and turned nerd in this third movie. Feel free to insert a face slap right here.

Good to see Robert Carradine, Ted McGinley, Curtis Armstrong, Larry B. Scott, Bernie Casey, James Cromwell and Brian Tochi, from the previous two movies back together, even though just for a brief moment, as most of them hardly have any screen time other than showing up in the court room. The acting performances in the movie were fair.

I have to say that director Roland Mesa's 1992 movie "Revenge of the Nerds III: The Next Generation" felt fully and wholly unnecessary, and there weren't much of any laughs to be had throughout the course of the 93 minutes that the movie ran for.

My rating of "Revenge of the Nerds III: The Next Generation" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.

I recently bought the "atomic wedgie" edition of the Revenge of the Nerds. It has all the four movies, so I watched Revenge of the Nerds III: The Next Generation this afternoon and once again after looking at the IMDb rating, I was a bit scared on what to expect, but so far, I'm really liking these movies. Yeah, they're a bit ridicules, not to mention that I think Revenge of the Nerds III: The Next Generation took a different direction than the original Nerd film, but it's all good. I thought it was actually a fun story and a new introduction of all nerds uniting together and showing who really takes care of the jocks in the world.

Lewis has now turned himself into a huge stud and is living with his wife, Betty. His nephew and his nephew's friend have gone to the same college and have joined the Lamb's, but we have a new dean in town, Stan is back! He and an alumni of the school are joining together to ban all nerds from the town. The nerds call on Lewis to get back to his nerd roots and help them take over the town, hopefully Lewis can get past this silly smooth operator appearance, because it's not working for him or the nerds that need him most.

Revenge of the Nerds III: The Next Generation is nothing special, but it still has a few laughs. I really didn't think it was bad, at least not as bad as the rating would on IMDb led me on. Revenge of the Nerds III: The Next Generation is just a fun movie that I think people need to be open too, it's a different direction in the story but it works over all. So just give it a shot, I think you'll actually enjoy this story, after all, everyone's gotta love the nerds.

5/10

Overall the movie is not that great. I did however really enjoy the story of Lewis, Betty and Stan. In the 3rd movie we see where the relationship of Lewis and Betty went. We also see how Stan Gabel turned out and how the events of the first movie effected him. However the movie is also filled with new characters and lame scenes. I really think had they focused more on the original nerds story the movie would have turned out a lot better. I do recommend the movie for a "Nerd" fan, but if your not a real big fan of the first film then you should pass this one by.

I feel this film is a better sequel to the first rather then a 3rd movie.

i shouldn't even be wasting my time offering my opinion on this movie. i watched it for the first time this week on cable, and it was pure crap. it's hard to believe someone got paid to write this movie. all they did was discuss scenes from the first installment, which i happen to think is one of the funniest movies of all time. don't bother with this one.

One of the funniest movies ever made!!! Those nerds just kill me! I couldn't stop laughing throughout the whole movie. These "Revenge of the Nerds" movies get better with each sequel. This one ranks up there with "Airplane" and "Something About Mary" among the best comedies ever made. I can't wait to rent "Revenge of the Nerds: Part 4". Hopefully it will be as good as this one. My only complaint about this movie was that Gilbert didn't really appear in this movie. He made a cameo appearance at the end but it was a different actor. Which brings to mind, one question. What was Anthony Edwards thinking when he turned down a part in this movie masterpiece? Thankfully, he didn't make the same mistake twice and later chose to do ER.
