How do you do, fellow class of 1999?

the killer robot teachers are only a tool, not inherently good or bad, it all depends on how you calibrate their kill threshold #monsterdon

This is America

This is by the way _exactly_ how baby boomers and late silent generation people were writing about GenX

a mix of hopeless slackers and, i quote, "Darwinian hyper-predators."

seriously tho if you think Pam Grier is dripped out in this movie, I cannot overemphasize the importance of GHOSTS OF MARS as a cultural icon

man if you can't lose a car on a bike in seattle you are fucking doing it wrong #monsterdon

program terminated by bus error #monsterdon

It took a while to get there but we're finally in full-on gonzo gore mode.

oh dang pam grier saying "it ain't daddy, honey" is noteworthy

Like a lot of #monsterdon, that was some really fun visual effects and great wardrobe on top of a truly awful script. So all in all a fun night! See y'all next week!

#Monsterdon Well, the second half was better than the first half.

I mean, it was still very stupid, but at least it wasn't a conservative old man's fantasy about how kids today don't have any respect.

YES. YES. KILLDOZER PARADE!!! #monsterdon

they are doing so little with the killer robot teachers, but i'm so biased on this movie because of the goofy ass costumes i dont' even care. like the most robot thing they have done is the spankings #monsterdon

I can't tell if this film is reveling in the violence or abhors it. It seems to be both at times.

Yeah, this is a conservative fantasy. "All you have to do is beat the shit out of unruly kids and they'll fall in line! Rule by fear!" #Monsterdon

Mom: “how was school honey?”

Me: “got spanked by Claude and ChatGPT again”

#monsterdon when I was trying to figure out my audio problems, I switched to the the commentary track long enough to hear somebody saying they heard a band in a club and told them they wanted to buy their music for the movie, so they did for $100 per song, and it was NIN

It's no "Power of the Night" but this power ballad is a perfectly 1990 ending to this perfectly 1990 movie

it was one of the movies of all time, but the VFX people deserve everything, there was a lot to love about the effects in this movie. Stunts too!

Yeah, this is one of those films where the last twenty minutes has the entire budget. #Monsterdon

say what you will about this movie they are certainly TRYING THINGS #monsterdon

surely you could find one teenage passing actor that can do a cholo accent in LA #monsterdon

all i see in this movie is costume, costume, extra good costume, costume, costume, killdozer #monsterdon

The condo address is 192.168.0.1

So your new teachers are a polycule, don't be weird about it

Sipping a juice box

listen i come to #monsterdon for shitty movie that sucks and so far this seems like a very plausibly good movie what is going on

@ramsey It's like someone did all the Schwartzenneger films in one:

Kindergarten Predator Terminator Running Man Cop

#Monsterdon This movie does raise an interesting philosophical question though.

How many gang members can die to save a single preppy girl and still be considered a happy ending?

That film was like a 90 minute "Kids today, eh?" with robots #Monsterdon

Ben Ramsey

ramsey@don.monster

I was entertained. I think someone heard about Kindergarten Cop coming out later that year and thought, “What if we put terminators in the classroom?”

As always, thanks to @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for the bingo card, @JoeWynne for the drink recipe and trivia, @ryan for the live stream, @paco for data analysis at https://gallery.don.monster, @combatwombat for the replay, and all of you for making it awesome!

#Monsterdon #Classof1999

time for the climax, so bullets are now effective

okay so I guess the entire effects budget is here for the last 15 minutes

these droid effects rock

"Bionic tetas" oh my god

I think Cody has more eyeliner on than she does.

"The strategy is sound" The strategy to WHAT??? #Monsterdon

they made such a big deal out of the monitoring the robots control room before but now that they are on a citywide killing spree there is nobody at the wheel. they literally aren't even doing "defend the killer robot company from being discovered" they are just getting revenge #monsterdon

WOMEN FACTS #monsterdon

lol, of course robots live in homes with wd40 cans in cupboards where humans would have food.

I can't imagine playing a gig where my instructions are "Only play your music when the audience is fighting and firing their guns into the air. Otherwise, don't play."

Most of the kids in this club are vampires

if you were the primary point of contact for a company that rents killer robots you should probably hire an image consultant to help you look less like the most evil guy in the world #monsterdon

The most unrealistic part of this movie, by far, is how much money and attention is being poured into education.

"We'll discuss this later, alone."

"Of course, Miles, whatever you say. licks banana and eats it"

😳

Joining #Monsterdon late because I got distracted with Mina the Hollower.

The subtitle [Spanking continues] is a hell of a place to join the party.

#monsterdon #monsterdonReviews

Class of 1999 (1990) - 4/5

controversial review: at first was not a monsterdon movie, disqualifying. but then fell apart. kept going. fell apart even more. spectacular.

OK, and come the day that today's Monsterdon is done!

Thank you so much for joining #monsterdon . I love you all for keeping me sane during this weekly!

Extra thanks to @Taweret for running the finest event #OnHere , and extra thanks to @JoeWynne for the trivia and @cherizilla for the bingo cards.

See y'all next week! 😽

Sure, an extremely late-80s power ballad, okay then

I do like that the last teacher's voice got that Mortal Kombat arcade cabinet announcer distortion at the end.

#Monsterdon If I was in charge of converting war robots to teachers, I'd probably have removed the ammo from their rocket launchers.

To prevent damage to the facilities if nothing else.

"Shoot her again!"

:blobfoxthonking:

ignore plot, acquire riding motorcycles in the high school #monsterdon

I did totally have that kind of leather biker jacket in high school (class of '96)

...Can you believe there's still a half hour left on this film? #Monsterdon

ok you've lost me on how you're going to sell the killer robot teacher prototype when the principal was murdered by what looks suspiciously like killer robot hands #monsterdon

I'm not sure that's how... necks... work.

Oh, and there's "Head Like a Hole".

"All we have to do is marry our war machine with the basic educational model."

uh huh

I was a Junior in 1999 and this movie is *EXACTLY* what high school was like in the late 1900s

okay the getting pulled through a wall stunt was very cool, flowers for you

Lazarou Monkey Terror 🚀💙🌈

there is no more powerful strategy in war than to approach from the side and just sort of walk around killing everyone #monsterdon

@wohali $4mil of that was leather jackets

Lazarou

this is how the Bell Riots started

fr folks i thought our hero had a younger sister

Sir those children are not on school property.

I do enjoy the crappy 90s cars, it's like an episode of The X-Files <3 #Monsterdon

that is the most awkward dialogue

So they're a robo polycule, so what. #Monsterdon

My understanding is that if you fire bullets in the air they eventually fall back down at the speed of, you know, bullets. #Monsterdon

Don’t threaten me with a good time, teacher

I think this guy was my band teacher in middle school. #Monsterdon

There are a couple of people in my feed who always post about this #Monsterdon thing, which sounds like an entertaining undertaking (sometimes mainly by catharsis of collective suffering, of course), so it kinda bums me out that it's only a thing for a location that I can't participate in timezone-wise.

Europe deserves low-budget terrible movies, too. They may not have invented the idea, but they've made their fair share of contributions.
