Class of 1999	comment	Class of 1999 is a 1990 American science fiction action thriller horror film directed by Mark L. Lester (Commando), featuring Malcolm McDowell, Stacy Keach, and Pam Grier. In the film, set in the year 1999, school violence has reached the point where humanoid robots originally designed as soldiers had to be reprogrammed to become teachers that would administer discipline unto the unruly students set to do harm unto others at Seattle's John F. Kennedy High School. Cody Culp (Bradley Gregg), a gang member, teams up with Christie, the principal's daughter, to find out the secret behind the new teachers and to destroy them before they do harm unto all the students.It is the thematic sequel to Class of 1984, and was followed by the 1994 direct-to-video sequel Class of 1999 II: The Substitute, also known as Class of 2001: The Substitute.

Class of 1999 / int_2be74be	comment	Sucky School: Screw "sucky" and replace with "warzone". The schools are surrounded by "free fire zones", they are prisons with guards carrying assault rifles and metal detectors that still are unable to catch every little bit of contraband drugs and guns, the United States Department of Education had to develop a militarized arm just to try to put any type of order in them, and this is before Dr. Forrest arrives with the bright idea of using kill-bot infiltrators as teachers.
