REVENGE OF THE NERDS - 1984
Two lifelong friends (portrayed by Robert Carradine and Anthony Edwards) have finally gone off to college. Unfortunately, these guys are two of the biggest nerds on the face of the earth. Combine that with the fact that they are freshmen, and you've got trouble. They meet with immediate resentment, getting thrown out of their dorm and being forced to live in the gym! Among the tormentors is none other than Ted McGinley of Happy Days and Married With Childen fame. Fortunately, they aren't the only freshman class outcasts. Joining forces with a loser (Curtis Armstrong), a black homosexual (Larry B. Scott), a Japanese exchange student (Brian Tochi), a dork with a bad haircut and even worse eyesight (Timothy Busfield), and a pre-teen genius (Andrew Cassese), the nerds plot revenge against their tormentors.

REVENGE OF THE NERDS II - 1987
Some time has passed since the first film (probably one year.) And everyone's favorite gaggle of nerds is chosen to represent Adams College at a fraternity conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Unfortunately, the Alpha Beta fraternity (the guys that tormented them in the first film) also have representatives at the conference, so the geeks must once again find a way to stand their ground.

FILM OPINIONS:
The first film is a comedy classic, no questions asked. Honestly, who WOULDN'T laugh at a fraternity full of nerds doing a panty raid on a sorority house? However, the film does question reality - there's NO WAY a college would force its freshman class to move into the gym and give its dorm to jocks. Likewise, many of the actions you see in this film would get students expelled. And do you see anyone getting expelled in the film? Nope. Likewise, it's a movie about college life, but there's only ONE SCENE in the entire movie that takes place in the classroom! The second film is really more of the same, but it's not quite the masterpiece the first one was. Still, it's worth watching.

DVD:
The DVD is nice, but it's severely lacking in the extras department. All you get are the trailers for both of the films, and the trailers for both of the Porky's films. I guess you can't expect to have a whole lot of extras, since it's two films on one disc.

OVERALL:
Eighties comedy films are the best comedy films of all time, and this collection beautifully demonstrates that. If you sit down and watch these films, I guarantee you - it will be impossible not to laugh.

Nerds double feature!
Nerd fans should rejoice at the recent CBS FOX DVD release of the first two films for the price of one. Widescreen and the prints are sharp. In the original film, it's brain vs. brawn at Adams College, and our heroes (especially Carradine and Edwards) are genuinely likable. Their attractive but unlikable antagonists repeatedly goad the nerds into retaliation, with hilarious results. One highlight is the party the nerds throw to try to get into a fraternity. Genuine friendship is abound between hi jinks and peeking at girls. Nerds II is a decent companion piece which sends the nerds to Fort Lauderdale for a fraternity conference. The alpha betas are just as sadistic, and our heroes come out fighting. Anthony Edwards only appears in a few scenes. They have a lot of new misadventures instead of just repeating the first film. Watch for their "No on 15" party. Good fun for fans of the genre.

movie
Follow the nerds through life. They try to act cool and hang out with the popular kids but are never accepted. So they hang out together and get into some crazy stuff. Fun pointless movie that has had way to many movies dedicated to them.
