Class of Nuke 'Em High aka Atomic High School

Few redeeming features in this one, especially where the acting, directing, writing, camera work, music are concerned....

Plot: In the town of Troma, the local high school happens to sit on the doorstep of  a nuclear energy plant. It also happens that said 'plant' is having a few issues with containment. Waste leaks out and contaminates the land around the school. Meanwhile, the 'Cretins' (the bullies) are selling 'nuclear high's' (marijuana grown in nuclear waste) at $10 a pop. This results in a few unexpected dreams, a random mutant pregnancy (which leads to a monster attacking the school) and a touch of superhuman strength. Bullies get beaten up, boyfriends save the day and monsters explode.

All good (subjective), clean (not really), fun (urgh).

Budget: $2,000,000

Gross: $?

Fun Fact: Two sequels followed, starring Tromie the radioactive squirrel. Possible remake in the works, along with another Troma Studio fan fav- The Toxic Avenger.
