I mean, things are so bad that the cope create free fire zones in which people are allowed to kill each other.And yet kids still feel that they have to go to school. I mean, why bother?, whats the point?They all show up for school on time everyday and afterwards go to their warzone homes with no adults and try to kill each other while making nonsensical wisecracks.The whole premise make no sense.The robots are pretty cool though, very life like.

In the future, which was 18 years ago to this writing, teens are getting more retarded (at least they got that right). Anyways, this is a sequel of some sorts to Class Of 1984 but with a cyberpunk edge. I really enjoyed this one for the action sequences, cinematography and absurd plot. The acting oscillates between good and $#!+ and blah blah. I hope this review was unintelligible and not helpful, t#@t.

Class of 1999 (1989) in my opinion is one of the greatest Sci-Fi futuristic action flicks from Director Mark L. Lester! The greatest man who gave us Commando (1985), Class of 1984 (1982), Armed and Dangerous (1986) and Showdown in Little Tokyo (1991). This is one of my favorite movies, I grew up as a teen! I was surprised that movies like this exist. I love this flick alongside Commando (1985), this is my second favorite best movie from Mark L. Lester. I think the movie is great. I have seen this one a lot and love it I never get tired of watching it. Don't pay attention to the rotten tomatoes this movie is great. But everyone has their own opinion. I love this movie about battle robots and gangs in the school and out of the school was just awesome. The idea was awesome and none of the films are that great. This movie should be released on Blu-ray! OK lets talk some about the actors why I think this movie is great. I was never a big fan of Bradley Gregg but he was in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors one of my favorite horror slasher sequels from A Nightmare on Elm Street series. He made a lot of movies but those two for me are memorable. The most that I remember him is from this movie as Cody Culp the leader from Black Heart gangs. The character Bradley played was written on his skin. The second reason I do think this movie is also great because of actress Traci Lind. The actress was very beautiful but very underrated. I remember her from 21 Jump Street (1987) my favorite childhood TV series from Johnny Depp. I still love this TV show I don't care what anyone says and Fright Night Part 2 (1988) before she made this movie. I still think the actress is very underrated and she did acted her character perfect. It is sad she doesn't make any movies anymore. I am wondering where is she now?.I think Mark L. Lester was really imaginative director for making two films Class of 1984 and Class of 1999, two similar movies that both based in the futuristic America and realizes them almost perfectly with all the tools that fit the task -- actors, stunts, puppetry, models, and CGI. Without the vision, this film would be nothing. Without the tools, this film would be nothing. The action scenes were really outstanding. The stunts were really completely insane in scale (at one point, a gangs on a motorcycles are burning in the 2nd high school floor from a Pam Grier as Ms. Connors as a flammable fire torch out of her hand). ( Mr. Bryles - Patrick Kilpatrick fires a rocket launcher from his hand and explodes the motorcycle from a gang member and the motorcycle fly's out off the window in a burning explosion). Only in the 80's they had such a movies, since today I have not seen one good action movie. Class of 1999 is Rated: R. Today action movies are rated PG-13 not R anymore. Even Terminator: Genisys is rated PG-13 as one of the worst movies of this year!This movie is like Terminator robots from "Megatech" are destroying all humans including high school students. This movie has violence, gore, blood, gangs, fist fights, knives, explosions and so on. This flick has everything in it. Including good actors that made the task, Malcolm McDowell and Stacy Keach were perfect actors that made the job done as in their different roles. Patrick Kilpatrick, Pam Grier and John P. Ryan as three not human androids cyborg Terminators battle robots did a perfect task as dangerous killer machines in the future. The Furture set in Seatle as the futuristic World was a great vision.This movie follows The time is the future and youth gang violence is so high that the areas around some schools have become "free fire zones," into which not even the police will venture. When Miles Langford (Malcolm McDowell), the principal of Kennedy High School, decides to take his school back from the gangs, robotics specialist Dr. Robert Forrest (Stacy Keach) provides "tactical education units." These human-like androids have been programmed to teach and are supplied with weapons to discipline problems. These kids will get a lesson... in staying alive!!! This movie is awesome and deserves a great score for me is 10, but everyone has their own opinion!Class of 1999 is a 1990 American science fiction film directed by Mark L. Lester. It is the director's follow-up to his 1982 film Class of 1984.10/10 Grade: A Studio: Lightning Pictures, Original Pictures, Vestron Pictures Starring: Bradley Gregg, Traci Lind, Malcolm McDowell, Stacy Keach, Patrick Kilpatrick, Pam Grier, John P.

Bright fluorescent bandannas, tough talk, rival gang wars, guns, guns, guns, and a rocket launcher. Several major cities have such massive gang activity that they have been deemed "free-fire zones" where the authority just threw their hands up and said "screw it, they can just have it, we are outa here!". Yet the gang bangers are required to go to school. I mean, think of it. You can shoot people, start fires, crank on as many drugs as you want. However if you skip class, you're in big trouble mister.Regardless, for a movie of its time it was really well put together. We cannot compare this type of movie to modern cinema. There is no cgi. It's makeup and animatronics. Cheesy as it is today, I feel that this class of 1999 makes for a great spot in anyone's movie library.
