Revenge of the 80's : The obligatory financial sequel.

Revenge of the Nerds II (1987) was a useless sequel. There was no reason (except for monetary motives) for this movie to have ever been made. First of all they have obviously ran out of ideas, secondly only a third of the cast was available and last but not least they made it into a P.G. movie. Why on earth would you try and market a raunchy comedy as a P.G. movie. Well, this didn't make any money. Not only did the product stink but it did like wise at the box office.

A bad movie that shouldn't have been made in the first place. Not only the film-makers didn't learn the first time around, two more made-for-t.v. sequels were produced during the 90's (I guess FOX didn't learn from that abortion Omen IV). Not worth watching (unless you are a HUGE Revenge of the Nerds fan). Take my word, ignore this one.

Bad movie.
