Class of 1984 is no doubt one of my favorite cult classic 80's exploitation flicks of all time. From the moment the film begins with the memorable Alice Cooper song, you know that your in for an intense and wild experience. Mark Lester's Class of 1984 is a classic piece of exploitation that wears it influences proudly on its bloody ripped sleeve. A Clockwork Orange and the Sixties protest film The Blackboard Jungle both loom large in this vengeful tale of school retribution that pulls no punches. Perry King plays Andy Norris, a music teacher who wants to give his students a good start in life. Timothy Van Patten stars as Peter Stegman, the leader of a gang of high school punks who will stop at nothing to prevent this.

Things escalate from bullying and dealing in drugs to rape and murder as the gang go wildly out of control and music teacher Andy Norris finally takes things in his own hands with a finally that has got to be the best vigilante set-piece ever. Fans of Michael. J. Fox will also be amused to see their young hero being beaten up, stabbed and saying no to drugs. Roddy McDowall brings a human side to the proceedings as a biology teacher who cracks and resorts to holding his students at gunpoint to make them learn. The rest of the cast are uniformly good, Perry and Van Patten in particular throw themselves at the film. Timothy Van Patten gives a chilling performance as Peter Stagmen, and one you won't soon forget. His psychotic performance will be forever entrenched in my mind. It's one of my favorite performances for a villain. Roddy McDowall adds class and emotional vulnerability to a potentially throwaway part, but he made sure that wasn't the case. This is a powerful film, and one of the best exploitation films around.

I found this film very good and was suprised it did not get realesed at the pictures.
When a teacher gets sent to a disfunctal school, he had no idea just how dangerous this place is. All sudents must go thorugh metal dectors, theres drug dealers, stabbing and rape. Teachers have to bring their own guns in case of an emergency.
I really got into this film as it wern't to slow and didn't go straight in to the story. The only reason I gave this film 4 stars is because some scenes are quite disturbing, and not sutible for the people who has a light heart.
This film is very good though and not one of those films where they just show fighting. Just make sure the kids don't see it

I give it 5 stars for the excellent acting on Timothy Van Patten's part as the Gang Leader, Perry King was ok but Roddy Mcdowall (who will forever be Cornelius the Chimp in Planet of the Apes to me) was outstanding to watch.
The film did'nt shock me as this is exactly what goes on in and still goes on in schools anyway and the screenplay was well thought through so it falls into that early 80's video nasty club that pushed the boundaries.
I recommend the movie to anyone who like me is curious as to what all the fuss was back then over movies that shocked but avoid if you are easily offended by strong physical and sexual violence and bad language.

Class of 1984 is an amazing film with the power to shock audiences even a quarter of a century after its release. I mean, this film is fearless, brutally honest, and disturbing on several levels. It's easily the most intense high school film I've ever seen. Its depiction of violence and crime in the schools has been called prophetic - and for good reason: teachers powerless to control their students, administrators unwilling to take charge, cops hamstrung by witnesses too intimidated to talk and "slap on the wrist" laws for even the most dangerous of juveniles, security guards patrolling the corridors, metal detectors at the doors, and so much more. Class of 1984 was a wake-up call that has yet to be answered all these years later.

One can only hope and pray that no public high school today is remotely like Lincoln High. When tough guy Peter Stegman (Timothy Van Patten) boasts that he runs the school, he means it. When he's not thumbing his nose at authorities or having fellow classmates assaulted, Stegman runs a bona fide criminal network, pushing drugs, pimping prostitutes, you name it. He and his gang of fellow hoodlums (including one sadistic girl) answer to no one inside or outside the graffiti-marred walls of the high school. The only person with the guts to stand up to them is, of all things, the new music teacher. Andrew Norris (Perry King) makes himself Stegman's Enemy Number One the very first day - and that initial skirmish soon, and inevitably, turns into all-out war. If there was ever an army of one, it is Andrew Norris. The principal gave up long ago, choosing to keep looking the other way as his school comes crashing down around him.

I first saw this movie on vhs back in 1986. As other reviewers have pointed out: it is certainly prophetic, having predicted the increased level of violence within schools, the presence of metal detectors, the growing trend of vilifying the innocent and pandering to the perpetrators of violence.

This film is essentially a remake of The Blackboard Jungle, and raises the same issues. It's unfortunate that it degenerates into B-movie violence towards the end, but I still found myself gripped all the way to the end just the same.
