Revenge of the Nerds/ Revenge Of the Nerds II - Nerds in Paradise Reviews:
Great Movie Set
2009-08-03 - I am a big fan of the first Revenge of the Nerds. And yes, between the sequels and the TV movies, they steadly went down hill. But they all do have their moments, and I got this set for that. And the price made it worth it. I paid more for only the first film, so why not. If you are a nerd, get the set. You will enjoy it.

NERDS RULE!!!!!
2009-07-01 - In an age when being a nerd was something to be ashamed of; the newest members of Lambda Lambda Lambda stood proud and shouted NERDS RULE!!!
...And so began an era....The era of the Nerd!

This set has all 4 movies in the Nerds saga.
Revenge of the Nerds
Revenge of the Nerds 2:Nerds in Paradise
Revenge of the Nerds 3:The Next Generation
Revenge of the Nerds 4:Nerds in Love

These movies are so great, I love them all!

Revenge of the Nerds-Frat humour,but with alot of Heart!
2009-03-08 - Somewhere between the "cool" good looking crowd and the jocks lay the Nerds...that's the rest of us!These movies are not only for those stereotypical nerds or dorks or geeks but for anyone who has ever been put down for being "strange" or a "square" or for just being different.The Nerd flicks could and did pour on the low comedy as much as say "Porky's" or "Animal House" or"Up the Creek", but they had one thing the rest didn't;a big heart and characters with alot more depth and texture.They were a celebration of the triumph of the little guys over those who would think they're better than others.And we learn that there's a little nerd in everyone,no matter their race,creed or colour.Who couldn't relate to that?That's why they have remained particular favourites of mine ever since they debuted.
The series starts off with "Revenge of the Nerds",1984.The movie involves the story of two nerds Gilbert(Anthony Edwards) and Lewis(Robert Carradine) as they travel to begin their first year at Adam's College.The Alpha Beta Frat House practically runs the campus and during a raucous party they burn their own house down.They storm the freshman dormitory and co-opt it for their own, expelling all inside.The freshman are given cots in the school gym and are forced to apply to different frat houses for accomodations.The last core group of seven left are Gilbert,Lewis,Poindexter(Tim Busfield),Wormser(Andrew Cassese),Lamar(Larry Scott) ,Takashi(Brian Tochi) and(my fave)Booger(Curtis Armstrong).The group finally finds an old house off campus,fix it up and apply to become members of the only group that will take them,the Lambda,Lambda,Lambda fraternity;an all black frat organization.During an open party there the Alpha Beta's led by Stan Gable(Ted McGinty) disrupt the proceedings letting pigs into the house.The Nerds get revenge by putting hot linament in the Alpha Beta's jock straps,and with that act are finally accepted permanently into the Tri-Lams organization.At a subsequent college homecoming carnival the Tri-Lams and the AB's go head to head in competition with the Tri-Lams coming out successfully.The event even sees Stan Gables' girlfriend Betty(Julie McCormick),falling in love with Lewis.The AB's incensed,trash the Tri-Lams house which prompts Gilbert to confront the AB's at a pep rally for their football team.The truth comes out and justice gets it's day for everyone.
The second film is "Revenge of the Nerds II-Nerds in Paradise",1987.This has our heroes attending a national frat conference in Fort Lauderdale.Gilbert has a broken leg so he can't attend with his co-horts.The hotel they were supposed to check into has cancelled their reservations and they are forced elsewhere.They check into a real dump of a joint,with the first "guest" they see leaving via a strecher.They check into the Ricky Ricardo room and across the hall Booger finds Edgar Poe Wong or Snotty(James Wong) who can out gross Booger in ways he's never imagined, and instantly becomes Booger's new guru/master.At the conference the Alpha Beta controlled venue sees them trying to pass an amendment limiting who can join frats but with alot of work the Tri-Lams get it defeated.The Tri-Lams are then set up on a phony car stealing rap and imprisioned,which also threatens their frat status.They are bailed out but get abducted by the AB's who put them on a deserted island along with the Alpha Beta "heavy" from the first film "Ogre"(Don Gibbs).They must get back to the conference somehow and when they discover a hidden cache of army equipment they make it just in the nick of time.They have their usual show down with Alpha Beta and triumph in the end.Ogre is even initiated into the Tri-Lams complete with sweater,pocket protetcor and glasses!
"Revenge of the Nerds III-The Next Generation",1992,has Harold Skolnick(Greg Binkley) and Ira Poppus(Richard Israel) as the films two main characters.Lewis is Harold's uncle who now runs the computer science dpeartment at Adam's College.Lewis has since married Betty and they have a very comfortable lifestyle....too comfy.Lewis has forgotten his roots and has put success over who he really is.The nerds rule the campus but old Stan Gable,now a traffic cop,drops by to instigate the AB's into reclaiming their former glory and running rough shod over the Tri-Lams.Stan is even given the job of Dean so an influential former member Mr. Price(Morton Downey Jr.) can also see the nerds run off campus for good.The nerds are pushed to the wall but Lewis is still in denial so is no help to his nephew or the fraternity.The Tri-Lams search for a former member in their database with law training.They get a "hit" and it is none other than Booger.He shows up all gung ho and takes the adminstration to court but loses to an anti-nerd judge.Mr.Price goes a step further and puts marijuana plants in the Tri-Lams house basement and they get busted for drug possession.Lewis bails them out and finally comes to his nerd senses.He suits up again into his old outfit and brings strikes on and off campus which paralyze the adminstration.In retaliation the admin charges Lewis on a bogus misappropriation of school funds rap.When Lewis' father,Lamar,Takashi,Gilbert(not Edwards) and Wormser(not Cassese) show up in support at his trial, Stan breaks down and confesses the whole sordid affair and Price is arrested and the case is dismissed.
Finally,"Revenge of the Nerds IV-Nerds in Love",1994,really should have been subtitled"Booger gets married" because that is basically the premise of this final instalment.Booger and his betrothed Jeannie(an ex Omega Mu,his favourite sorority!) are due to get married on Valentines Day.Her parents,especially her father(Joe Bologna) doesn't approve of Booger one bit.On hand to help him are Lamar,Takashi,Harold,Trevor(John Pinette,from the previous film), Stan Gable(complete with nerd sweater,pocket protector and glasses),Ogre,Lewis(his best man) and Betty,who is very much preggers.Stan picks up chicken pox and is sidelined through much of the film in bed,but is checked in on constantly by Lewis.At a pre nup party the father decides to get the son in law to hire a detective to dish some dirt up on Booger.At the bridal shower a food fight erupts and Booger is accused of having an illigitimate child in Sandusky,which he denies.At a stag party later the son in law tries to compromise Booger by trying to get him to sleep with a hooker but that doesn't work.By this time the wedding has been put off and on more than a few times.When a child is finally produced it is learned the girl was plucked from an orphange for the occasion.The son in law is expelled from the family and Booger and Jeannie finally tie the knot and adopt the little girl to boot.At the same time Betty goes into labour and has a son.Lewis' father holds up the child as hands reach out to it,while saying:"Behold,the nerd child".The film ends with a nice shot of Booger,Jeannie,Lewis,Betty,their new son and Lewis' father sitting and talking on a large seat swing.
I think the last movie,more than the others,really drove home the point of what this series was about;loving one another and treating each other with respect.There is a great scene with Lewis and Booger outside the motel where they are staying.Booger is expressing his fears and doubts and Lewis is there for him.Lewis says to Booger"I love you, man" and Booger almost embarrassingly says "Yeah,I love you too".It is an unpretentious and naturally played scene that really worked perfectly.
This set comes in a pack of four slip cases.The first two films are letterboxed and the last two are full screen(made for TV).All have been transferred well and the pictures are crisp and clean.The first film has the most special features,making up for what the others don't have;commentary by some of the principal cast,a nice 38 minute vignette("I'm a Nerd and proud of it")with again many of the principal thesps on hand discussing the films,deleted scenes and the Revenge of the Nerds TV Pilot(1991).The rest of the discs pretty much just have trailers on them,except the last one which also has a deleted scene added.
All in all this a fine presentation by Fox and well worth buying.A series with alot of heart and more texture and depth than most of its' other compatriots of the 1980s.You can just enjoy them on many levels,from the story morals to the frat house humour and antics.It's a win win situation for older fans and newer ones alike.Nerds forever!
