    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Mark L. Lester said the film was inspired by several true stories of school violence he had read about in papers. In particular, was a story of a teacher who brought a gun to class to control his students, the scene ended up in the film.
    • Goofs
      In the scene where Stegman and his gang go to the punk band club, the punk band Teenage Head are playing. The song that the band is playing is called "Got No Sense". Before Stegman gets on stage to stage dive, he gives a two fingered gesture to the crowd. The singer of the band onstage is next to Stegman singing the song, but his lips are not matching to the words of the song being played by the band.
    • Quotes

      Peter Stegman: Life... is pain. Pain... is everything. You... you will learn!

    • Alternate versions
      The original UK cinema release featured the R-rated U.S print (minus scenes of nudity) which was then cut by 4 minutes 14 secs by the BBFC to heavily edit the gang fight, the rape scene, Fallon's arm being sliced off with a buzzsaw, a shot of Stegman slashing Diane's chest on the rooftop, and Norris hitting Barnyard with a hand wrench - and this version was later rejected completely for a UK video certificate in 1987. The full unedited version was finally passed uncut by the BBFC in 2005.

    Class of 1984 is a Cult Classic
    Class of 1984 (1982) is an entertaining and thought-provoking combination of the Vigilante and High School Drama flick. The film describes the punks as the next generation of important people. It was done as a reworking of Blackboard Jungle (it is much better than Cruel Intentions and more gutsy). Class of 1984 (1982) is an errie movie because the depiction of unsafe Urban high schools, metal detectors at schools, and security guards would be a reality eight years later in many high school cities. It is a courageous movie that isn't afraid to deal with important issues. Class of 1984 (1982) will be noted for the appearance of Michael J. Fox known in the credits as Michael Fox.
