This is a fairly unique film with better action and acting than you'd expect

Class of 1984 (1982) is a movie I recently watched on Shudder. The storyline follows a high school that has become overrun by gangs and students with little to no regard for the staff and school rules. When one teacher thinks he can make a difference he may discover he's bit-off more than he can chew.This movie is directed by Mark L. Lester (Commando) and stars Perry King (Mandingo), Michael J. Fox (Back to the Future), Roddy McDowall (Fright Night), Merrie Lynn Ross (Bobbi Jo and the Outlaw) and Timothy Van Patten (The Sopranos).It was awesome seeing a young Michael J. Fox in this. The storyline is a bit over the top, but they do a good job setting the tone with the opening statistics and building off that message to create an entertaining film. They did a good job making the kids the villains and horror elements. The gang segments were well done. I really loved the intensity and acting for those gang members. The ending for this is out of this world, unpredictable and very well done.Overall this is a fairly unique film with better action and acting than you'd expect. This is a very solid movie that I'd score a 7.5/10 and strongly recommend.

We Are Your Fear of the Future...

One of the great exploitation films of all time built equally off mainstream society's inherent mistrust of youth culture and a complete misunderstanding of the causes of criminality. To Sir, With Love meet Death Wish. Memorable performances by Roddy McDowell and a young Michael J. Fox add to the cult cache of this intentionally shocking, explicit and problematic classic.
