5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliance, Hitchcock esque, February 26, 2000

This review is from: Class of 1999 II: The Substitute [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I'm sure I don't have to remind most film buffs what a brilliant actor Sasha Mitchell is. Well for those of you who thought it would be impssible to raise the bar from his Brando like performance on Step by Step, Mitchell has done it here. Never has a director taken such a introspective look at our socity's droid problom.

1.0 out of 5 stars A bitterly disappointing sequel, September 14, 2002

I loved "Class of 1999" so much that I was delighted to find out that there was going to be sequel. I was extremely disappointed when I finally got to see it.

Okay; it sort of has a story: After the disaster at Kennedy High way back in 1999 the cyborg-teacher scheme is revived. Surely, this time the concept will work? Of course not!

I don't mind this type of movie being a little predictable. Hell, the original was predictable most of the time. But even then, if the movie's done well, you'll have a good time watching it. This movie lacks the feel of it's predecessor, the action scenes and the unfolding of the story seem more like a few random scenes put together and if the special effects in a sequel are inferior to those in the original... than aren't we doing something wrong?

People who haven't seen the first "Class Of 1999" might get some enjoyment out of this one but I just can't recommend this to anyone.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sequel to Class Of 1999, July 22, 2003

This review is from: Class of 1999 II: The Substitute [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Good old Sasha Mitchell (best known for his role as Cody on TV's "Step By Step" as well as his role in the KICKBOXER movies) is a robot teacher gone haywire in the sequel to the 1989 cult favorite.

As much of a fan as I am of Sasha and the original film, this one is pretty mediocre. Nick Cassavettes as a pretty boy teacher gets annoying pretty quick and the characters and story are not nearly as fun, the second time around.

If you really loved the first film and you can find this one ..., go for it, otherwise, leave it alone.
