Class of Nuke ‘Em High holds a special place in my heart. I originally saw it while at a sleepover at a friend’s house. Nuke ‘Em was featured on “Up All Night”, with Rhonda Shear. I was drawn in by the Rhonda boobies, but stayed for the weird, twisted plot.
The Class of Nuke ‘Em High series will probably always be my favorite of the Troma movies. The original Nuke ‘Em High was my first taste of Troma and, quite possibly, schlock.
When I saw that Lloyd Kaufman and Troma made the original Class of Nuke ‘Em High available to watch for free, I was very excited. I watched it online and then decided I needed to share it, with hopes to expand Troma to a new generation of fans.

Class of Nuke ‘Em High – Trivia (IMDB)
When Chrissy goes to the hospital, you can hear over the loudspeaker “Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard”. These are the names Moe, Larry, and Curly take in certain episodes of the Three Stooges.
During the PA announcements at the start of the movie, Warren can be seen dressed in a football jersey talking to a girl, and also in his regular class right before Dewey’s freak-out. The scene with Warren in the football jersey is also recycled at the end of the film as well.
The original title for the film was simply ‘Nuke ‘Em High’. It was later changed in hopes of people mistaking it for Class of 1984 (1982).
Rhonda Shear – Class of Nuke ‘Em High
