Thus the comments section of this review will likely fill up with angry fans condemning me for calling this film “ridiculous”. Most Troma fans will rabidly defend anything having to do with Troma’s films, pointing out that these are intentional B-Movies and thus anything “bad” should be given a pass because it is, in fact, intentional. This could, of course, be a blessing or a curse. 1… meaning there is a second half of this ridiculous film coming out some time in the future. The solution to both this issue and Troma’s financial woes seemed to be a brand new reboot of the series in the form of Return to Nuke ‘Em High, Vol. This silly (yet often fun) farcical take on ’50s-style paranoid disaster films (updated with lots of violence, nudity and ridiculousness) was followed by two unsuccessful sequels, neither of which succeeded in gaining the cult-classic notoriety that the original has enjoyed. Way back in 1986 a studio called Troma released Class of Nuke ‘Em High, an intentionally silly B-Movie (as are most-to-all of Troma’s output) about a nuclear power plant that causes the students (particularly the Honor’s Society) to mutate into a vicious punk gang referred to as “The Cretins”.
