Andy K (10821 KP) rated Revenge of the Nerds (1984) in Movies

Jun 7, 2018

I wish I was as cool as these nerds!

If this is really what happens when "nerds" go to college, I want to enroll!

Lewis and Gilbert think things will be different when they show up to attend Atoms College. Unfortunately, the football jocks and the cheerleaders have some immature fun at the expense of the nerds.

Never fear, however, the nerds devise a plan to get even and ultimately win a seat on the Greek counsel in an attempt to change opinions around the college.

Much of the film is raunchy, immature humor with a lot of 80s nudity thrown in; however, some of the characters are down right hilarious and many of the scenes are very funny. It is still one of my go to 80s comedy gems.

Kudos

Remake/reimagining of the 1981 original, I remember the big thing about this at the time as the special effects. Or, rather, the post-production 3D effects added released, as this was, only a few short years after James Cameras na exceptional 'Avatar'. Whereas 'Avatar', however, was filmed specifically in and for 3D, this film owes more of a debt to the older 1980s 3D films: watching this in 2D it's quite obvious to see what scenes were added specifically for the effects (I'm thinking mainly of the attack of the giant scorpions, or the Kraken at the end),

Starring Sam Worthingon - whatever happened to him? - as Perseus, the plot of this obviously takes inspiration from Greek myths, even down to having Liam Neeson playing the part of Zeus himself, and of the Pegasus.
