Storyline

The third movie in the Nerds series: The nerds are now in control of the university, as a result of Lewis Skolnick and the rest's actions in the two previous movies. A new generation of sportsmen arrive, however, determined on winning the school back. The principle, himself an ex-nerd fighter, helps them, and the nerds return to suppression. Harold Skolnick needs help from his uncle Lewis, the hero of the first two movies. Lewis, however, are not too proud of his nerd past, and won't reveal any of it, much less help his nephew. However, his wife makes him change his mind, and with help from his friends from the first two movies, they start the fight to win the school back, using classic nerd tricks.

Goofs

Stan Gable introduces himself as Class of 1980. The first Nerds movie took place in 1984 and he was a Senior. That would've made Stan part of the 1985 graduating class and Lewis part of the '88 class (certainly not the 1981 class as he introduces himself in the movie).

FOX's made-for-T.V. sequels!

Revenge of the Nerds III (1992) was one of several made-for-t.v. movies that premiered on FOX. Even though this one is a slight improvement over the last movie it's still bad. I don't even know why the FOX network bothered showing this movie. Although it has a more interesting story and a return of several characters, the end results are not satisfactory. But if you're a big Revenge of the Nerds fan, you'll be in "nerd" heaven. Others stay away.

A slight improvement over the horrendous part II, Revenge of the Nerds III is a bad movie. I can't recommend something like this. Watch if you must but don't say I didn't warn you!

Not recommended.
