I saw this first at like 3 am during the summer of 1991 on hbo when i was 12. I recorded it over the next couple of nights and watched it like 100 *beep* times over the course of the summer.

I bought it from a local shop years ago, they where selling all there rental videos 5 for 10 bucks. I got this, The Crow, True Lies, Death Warrent and Romper Stomper. I must have been about 15 thought it was a kool movie, although not like Robocop and Terminator as the cover suggested lol.

I saw it on Fox years ago as the afternoon movie; Sometime in the 90's, I'm almost 24 now and I must have been between 8 and 14. Anyway, I remember catching a commercial break which showed a clip of the motorcycle going out of the window of the second story of the school in flames and the title being read by the narrator: "Class of 1999 will be right back!" and I was thinking "Oh my god, I gotta watch this." So I did and I remember a stark feeling of terror at the idea of teachers turning into robots and killing these kids brutally as they were. I just recently ordered the PAL DVD from Europe and am a bit dissapointed because it's not as scary as I remember. Still, a great B-Movie with lots of 'funny for the wrong reason' moments. The nostalgia of watching it again after so long was worth the price.

The Day Of The Dead

I saw it for the first time 5 minutes ago. It was okay for a B movie. I enjoyed it.

The kid brother, Angel seems vaguely familiar. I checked his filmography and nothing seems to fit. Really what seems familiar is his mouth. It kinda looks like his tongue gets in the way, if that makes any sense to anyone but me LOL Anyhow, I must be thinking of another actor that looks similar... in the mouth :)

Saw it for the first time last night. Don't know how I missed this one! Bad acting, ridiculous plot, but so good. I love the three teacher robots going around together taking out the morons in the world. The bum-spanking scene was a fun surprise, complete with cheesy sound effects. All the heavily-modified cars are pretty cool also. The constant POV computer-analysing displays of the robots making decisions (very Terminator-like) are hilarious.
