Atomic College 2

My review was written in March 1991 after watching the movie on video cassette.

Troma will have a hard time booking this unwarranted sequel, an incoherent mess that plays more like a trailer than a feature. Curiosity seekers in video stores represent the target audience.

Press kit ludicrously credits director Eric Louzil with discovering Kevin Costner. Actually he held back the thesp's career by hiring him for a couple of exploitation films a decade ago. Louzil demonstrates here that he has no feel for satire or comedy, absolute prerequisites for a Troma pic. Instead, most scenes consist of people running around aimlessly.

Beefcake star Brick Bronsky narrates a film-long flashback, a necessity given the lack of exposition in the live action. He's writing for the campus paper at Tromaville Institute of Technology, a combination college/nuclear power plant. Mad scientist Prof. Holt (attractive Lisa Gaye wearing piled up hairdo exaggerated from John Waters' "Hairspray") has created a race of drone subhumanoid workers, including beautiful Victoria (Leesa Rowland).

Unfortunately, they are subject to an ailment that causes them to melt into green goo. While Holt is working on the antidote, a squirrel turns into a Godzilla-type monster and stomps on some obvious miniatures.

An unfunny running gag insistas on the subhumanoids having mouths where their belly buttons should be. This is an excuse for plenty of topless footage of starlets, including porn star Trinity Loren. Production is so sloppy that a scene of bald subhumanoids has one of them portrayed by porn actres Sharon Mitchell with her normal hairdo.

Lead cast members have trouble reading lines and the dumb sound effects aren't very funny. Makeup and stop-motion effects are strictly amateurish.

A couple of years after the original movie, Tromaville has gotten a new university merged with the nuclear power plant called "The Tromaville Institute of Technology ( a.k.a. TIT)" and it seems like a perfect place to have campus life with booze, hot chicks who wear bikinis, and being yourself. However a scientist named Professor Holt ( Lisa Gaye) has been creating humanoid beings out of chemicals called Sub-Humanoids who are perfect for slavery, pleasure and to serve people but however they are different than the average normal human being as they have second mouths for bellybuttons and they would sometimes go into meltdown into slimy gooey little creatures if they hurt people. Ace reporter Roger Smith ( Brick Bronsky) is on the verge to find out about the secret of who is behind these sub-humanoids even if he falls for one.

Weak but fun sequel to the 1986 cult trash classic from Troma with the usual knockers, self referential material, nudity, and gross out humor with it. I did however thought that girl Roger falls for is a total hottie even though her character had a mouth on her stomach, if your in the mood for goofy no-brain fun then watch this if you liked the original.

I love the original Class.... and also love the original Toxic Avenger. It's a fine line, but but they crossed it and went to cheesy and annoying. The lead is VERY annoying as is most of this movie. The Toxie sequels are kind of on the same lines as this...but back on track now with Toxie 4. I wish they'd do a sequel to Class like they did with Toxie 4 and disregard the crap fest sequels. Again there's a fine line between cheesy fun and annoying crap. This is annoying crap. Lloyd hit the mark again with Toxie 4, and I wish he'd do Class the same justice!! He can do it, I have faith! The second and third of this series are no fun stinkers. There's all the stapled of great exploitation here, but it's just not fun. Lloyd please make this right!!!

You've got to be a die-hard fan to embrace this one. Sounds corny? It's meant to be goofy. The class of nuke 'em high is back, and this time they're in college! I remember watched this as a kid, I am thankful for that. This is a great film with a tone reminiscent of Doctor Detroit. If you love silly, this should be a rewarding experience for you. Granted, most supporting characters were one-dimensional. There's something very nostalgic about it. I urge you to see it with an open mind. It will either surprise or disappoint you, depending on what your expectations are. I laughed and was moved and all of that good stuff. It gets 7 out of 10 from me.

A perfectly good entry in the Nuke 'Em High series. Lots of toxic goodness for everyone. I've seen some terrible movies made recently which don't come close to these sub standards of movie making. But seriously it not serious and that why you watch this stuff, its time to chill out and laugh. Exactly what I wanted it to be.
