The first of the Nerds series (they run to 4), Revenge of the Nerds is an opportunity to play spot the future star, or at least, spot-the-fella-from-that-movie, what's his name?
Plot: Nerds go to college, are harassed by the jocks and their coach (John Goodman) and are evicted from their dorms when the jocks accidentally burn down their Fraternity house. The Nerds (including Goose from Top Gun and a lad from Space Camp) are further persecuted by the 'elite' and seek retribution for their torments. They also go on a panty raid to a sorority house and subtly place cctv cameras in the ceilings above their beds and showers.
From what we gathered from this film, during the 1980's, film makers could get away with a lot, in this one, voyeurism and date rape seem to have been a funny concept. We don't advocate the second one.
Line of the film (and there are many!); "Step aside Momma, I wanna see some of that Muff!"
Budget: $8,000,000
Gross: $60,400,000
Fun Fact: A TV series failed in the early 90's and a remake has been given the boot. Look out for 'Ogre', the big fella with the jocks, he's in lots a stuff, Bloodsport in particular.
