Class of Nuke 'Em High Collection

The Class of Nuke 'Em High Collection is a five-film series originating from the cult classic B-movie Class of Nuke 'Em High (1986) by Troma Entertainment. Directed by Richard W. Haines and Lloyd Kaufman under the pseudonym Samuel Weil, the initial film established a science fiction comedy horror premise that continued through subsequent installments. The collection includes the original film and two sequels, Class of Nuke 'Em High 2: Subhumanoid Meltdown (1991) and Class of Nuke 'Em High 3: The Good, the Bad and the Subhumanoid (1994). While the initial films were directed by Haines and Kaufman, the sequels were produced by them. The later entries in the series shifted towards a more comedic tone while maintaining a low-budget aesthetic. A fourth film was planned in 2000 but did not proceed beyond pre-production. However, Lloyd Kaufman returned to direct the series with Return to Class of Nuke 'Em High Vol.1 and Return to... Return to Nuke 'Em High aka Vol. 2, released in 2013 and 2017 respectively. The total runtime of the entire collection spans 453 minutes, with a reported budget of $2,063,615. The films have a combined IMDb rating of 5.6, 4.5, 4.1, 5.3 and 5.3. The series was active between 1986 and 2017, encompassing five distinct films.
