I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The greatest movie ever made..!

A different way of telling a story

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Yeah, certainly it represents not a mainstream movie, also not a masterpiece. But, if you need to spend almost 90 minutes of brainless time this pseudosequel is good. The protagonist, Sasha Mitchell, plays good his role of cruel cyborg teacher, killing and destroying all things he hates around him. In fact, the scene of the incipit (with a school gang burned in a car) shows up it all, exploding in a gratuitous exploitation. Have a nice vision!

There's so much wrong with "Class of 1999 II: The Substitute" I can hardly even begin to list it. And yet, this movie is so energetic and ambitious that I can't possibly bring myself to write overly harsh things about it. Director Spiro Razatos, primarily a stunt coordinator, tries to put a bit too many ideas in his film, but at least you always tell he had the best of intentions. Like Mark L. Lester's "Class of 1999" had few things in common with the original "Class of 1984", this "Class of 1999 II" has very few things in common with its predecessor as well. Gone is the grim and depressing futuristic wasteland ambiance of Lester's film, to be replaced with a normal present day small town setting with only a fairly ordinary juvenile delinquent problem rather and struggling with devastating gang wars. The high school and its population doesn't look that hopeless, even though the students are wearing orange jump suits resembling a prisoner's outfit, and there even still are some teachers – like the lovely Miss. McKenzie – who believe in righteous values like education and discipline. I would say the latter sub plot has something to do with the huge success of "Dangerous Minds" (the actress Caitlin Delany even looks a lot like Michelle Pfeiffer) but "Class of 1999 II" actually came out one year prior, so I'm guessing it's just a coincidence. In the first film, the high school was located in the middle of a no-police-patrolling zone and two competing gangs were killing off each other. Now there's just ONE fatigue old copper to safeguard ONE beautiful young teacher who gets harassed by ONE youthful thug and a couple of his acolytes. In the original there also were three cyborg teachers whereas here there's only one and he even doesn't behave very robotic. Whoever said sequels always meant more, more, more?? John Bolen is the last remaining cyborg in its type, designed by the late Dr. Bob Forrest who was killed by his own creations at the end of the first film, and he infiltrates in a troublesome high-school by posing as a substitute teacher. He seemingly operates on his own initiative and he's also quite the kick boxer! He somewhat becomes the guarding angel of the noble Miss McKenzie, much against the will of her paint ball-instructor boyfriend and teenage assailants. Then there's also this weird, allegedly FBI- guy tracking John Bolon down because he knows about his robotic characteristics. "Class of 1999 II" is a thoroughly silly flick, but it nevertheless remains extremely enjoyable to watch. Undemanding Sci-Fi/horror fanatics will definitely benefice from the fact director Razatos is a stunt specialist. There are plenty of well-staged action sequences and virulent fights. Sasha Mitchell is decent as the supposedly (but not really) emotionless robo-teacher and grabs every possibility there is to demonstrate his impressive kick-boxing skills. Problem with him, however, is that I can't help seeing him in the role of slightly moronic cousin Cody in the stupid 90's sitcom "Step By Step". There are a couple of wickedly far-fetched and crazy plot twists near the end as well as a spectacular death toll during a game of paint balling. This is the second 90's horror flick, after "Child's Play 3" in which a game of paint ball turns into a bloody massacre.

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.

From reading the other 'comments', I assume that this sequel was not true to the original. I found this film quite intriguing, and am glsd I missed the original. Now maybe I will watch it.It's development of the 'paint ball' warriors was informative as to how this activity actually goes on.But getting to the point - Jenna is extremely hot, especially in the flesh shown. I liked the plot - a crazy kid thinking he is a droid and developig droid characteristics - original. Usually, it's the other way around - a droid developing human characteristics.Too bad all low budget mush isn't this good.
