Has this movie been cancelled?

I just tried to find Revenge of the Nerds on my Roku device as well as through platforms like Vudu and Prime. The first Revenge of the Nerds has completely disappeared, even for rent, but the other inferior sequels are available. Has Revenge of the Nerds been canceled by the humorless prudes of the #MeToo brigade? They have already successfully made sure no one in an English-speaking country can see Polanski's "J'Accuse". Now they are getting rid of teen sex comedies from the 80s because they don't comport with our supposedly enlightened ideas on sexuality. DEATH TO THE #METOO MOVEMENT!

Possible. With streaming, things come and go all the time. You have no control. It's currently unavailable to stream in the US on Amazon Prime. Not on Vudu at all. You can get the blu-ray for $7 on Amazon. I'd do that if I were you.

I have it on blu as part of a 3-pack with Porky's and Bachelor Party.

Luckily, I already have that same 3-pack should any or all of these films ever disappear!

Disney owns it now , so may edit it, buy the blu-ray while you can

Yikes. Disney. I've seen what they did to Darryl Hannah's bare ass in Splash.

[–] darkpast (9029) 3 years ago

Only Disney censors rated PG movies , the movie is harmless

Why in the world would they own the rights to an R-rated movie?

Just remove the nude scenes and make sure the foul language is dubbed over

I don't have cable anymore, but does AMC air that movie unedited? There's not much point in watching an 80s teen sex comedy without the sex or the comedy.

[–] April-151-CT (10210) 3 years ago

Yeah, AMC is weird. It will censor movies, which are usually pre-edited from the movie studios for television broadcast. But in their original series, pretty much anything goes. I can find the movie for you to stream if you want. But it won't be on a streaming service. It'll just be on another social media platform similar to Facebook and YouTube.

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

I appreciate it but I'm not jonesing that strongly to see it again and I have a physical copy, but the prospect of censorship is very much in the air. Kremlin-sponsored news service RT has been completely censored on Youtube and most other platforms in the West due to tensions with Russia. Censorship against Russian artists and musicians has already begun. The #MeToo "movement" already is serving as a censorial body "disappearing" (or attempting to disappear) artists they don't like like Roman Polanski. I have talked with folks on here about the controversial "rape" in ROTN. I sought it out tonight just to check its availability. Maybe there's no cause for alarm, but the fact it wasn't available to rent or purchase through any outlet was somewhat disturbing.

AMC edits movies. You can't count on them to leave a movie alone.

And who can watch a movie with repetitious ads every six minutes?

[–] millsey72 (10939) 3 months ago

I love all the commercial breaks. This way I can see all the products and services in my neighborhood advertised to me. Its the main reason why I watch AMC

We recently watched it (April 2022) on AMC. Some swear words were removed and possibly some hand gestures. But otherwise seemed to be complete.

Its playing for the 2nd time today.
Such a classic

[–] darkpast (9029) 2 years ago

odd its not for sale, but it is streaming on Hulu now

[–] andersonb85 (2399) 2 years ago

It will never be canceled in my household as I'm still holding onto my out of print copy of a double-feature flip disc paired with Nerds 2.

[–] Foster1486 (634) 6 months ago

It's on AMC now Probably for at least the rest of the month
