Class of 1999 II: The Substitute

Sasha Mitchell stars as John Bolen an android teacher (From the original) who terminates a bunch of unruly kids and some innocent ones just for the hell of it in this baffling sequel. What one is baffled about is that this is a sequel to Class Of 1984 and Class Of 1999 yet it's still has a 2 in it's title. Sasha Mitchell is the only reason to see this undistinguished fare, since he's the only one who seems well suited to the part. It would've been nicer had Mitchell done more kickboxing and been the main villain but Razatos never overcomes this dilemma and in the end makes Mitchell into an anti-hero. Sadly the kids this time are so irritating that you can't help but find Mitchell lovable, being that he's wiping out the most obnoxious kids this side of a Saved By The Bell episode.

This movie really does predict the future! It was made in 1994, and early in the movie there is a scene with the principle and he says something about president clinton being incited. Of course in 1999 he wasn't indicted, but he was impeached by the house! Wow! Conspiracy? Or just a really stupid movie? OK, the past 3 days I have watched "Saturn 3", "Shredder" and now "Class of 1999 II: The Substitute" and by far Class of 1999 II was the worse, compare all 3 movies, that is really saying something. This stupid piece of crap didn't even have gruesome deaths to keep it interesting. The attempt at a meaningful plot made it so unbearable. The 'gangs' in this movie wear the most ridiclous clothes, who is going to be in a gang and look like that? Not worth watching at all, not even to laugh at.

My friend first lent me this film when it came out and since then it has become my most watched film.. sasha mitchell is perfect in the role of john bolen.. hope it comes out on dvd.. i think the story is really cool, sasha mitchell is truly inspirational to me in this film.. i think it all ties together to make an excellent picture.. i know a lot of people don't really like the film but, i think it has a unique feel good factor that appeals to me.. anyway if you haven't seen it.. i strongly suggest you do..

I'm sorry, but anyone who gives this drivel any star rating haven't got two brain cells to rub together.

The plot (Ha,Ha) was dreamt up in some sophomore's dorm. The acting (If you can call it acting, I've seen better in "Plan 9 from outer space) to say the actors were wooden is the biggest understatement ever.

The writers (Well what can one say, puerile nonsense), I was just wondering if this was an old Ed Wood script that someone found, and thought, as a tribute we'll make it!!!

Plot Synopsis: California, 2001. John Bolen is a substitute teacher who travels from school to school, secretly killing troublesome students. He heads to Monroeville High School, where he helps a female teacher who is being pressured into not testifying by a student who she saw murder someone in cold blood. Bolen then proceeds to murder the student's friends, while being pursued by a federal agent who believes that Bolen is the last of the A77 military battle androids.

"Class of 1999 II: The Substitute" is the sequel to "Class of 1999", which in turn is the sequel to "Class of 1984". Class of '84 was an unofficial remake of the '50s classic "Blackboard Jungle". The film was a violent tale about a teacher who took on the gangs that threatened him & his family. Class of '99 switched sides & became an over-the-top punk action film. The Substitute reverts back to the teachers' side. The script is nothing special but recycles future clichés, with prison-like school uniforms & barcoded car licence plates. For the acting, Sasha Mitchell plays the lead role with a wooden determination, which is appropriate for the role. The action scenes are well executed, although the climax is ham-strung by a cop-out of an ending.
