Trash-movie moguls Lloyd Kauffman and Michael Herz (the creative team behind distributor Troma Films and makers of The Toxic Avenger) force yet another epic of bad taste upon the viewing public with this melding of teenage sex-comedy and slime-oozing monster mayhem, described by the filmmakers as "like The Breakfast Club, only not as stupid, and really, really drunk." The story involves the student body of Tromaville High school being turned into ultra-violent mutated thugs, who ride hell bent for leather through the hallowed halls on their choppers, shrieking obscene pseudo-songs and giving birth to slimy and spiky mutant offspring when the dilapidated nuclear plant next door starts churning out glowing green effluvia.... pretty much business as usual then. By Troma standards (they're the cinematic equivalent of head cheese) this qualifies as a "classic." It isn't by anyone else's, though there are some good moments. The only way to put this film into any kind of perspective is to say it's never dull. Two sequels (subtitled respectively Subhumanoid Meltdown and The Good, the Bad and the Subhumanoid) followed in the '90s. Return to Nuke 'Em High (another follow up split into two parts) was announced to coincide with Troma's 40th anniversary in 2013.
