Strong Indie film that's silly,enjoyable fun 9/10
I'm not a massive Troma fan but, i respect and understand how important they are to the fans and other filmmakersReturn to Nuke 'em High Volume 1 surprised the hell out of meIt's a crazy over the top love letter to all things Troma and there 40 year historyIt's also very unique and refreshing to actually watch a movie that moves at a proper pace while being enjoyableWill you enjoy it if you never seen the previous Class of Nuke 'em High films? absolutely yesI only seen the original years agoThis film is a Re-make/Homage to the original trilogyIt's a black comedy/parody/horror/sci-fi hybridThere are lots of over the top gags between the School principal who sound like Nixon, the late Lemmy from Motorhead is the President,The Schools Coach is a Priest name Sandusky , there's a Blind Security Guard, a running gag about high school shootingalmost all the visual gags are slick and pay offThe film is also very honest about how High School is like lord of the fliesAll the cast do a bang up jobThis is without a doubt one of those films you have to view a few times to catch everything going on all around the surroundingsThe film is not rated I guess in a sense it's uncut lots of nudity and over the top gross out scenesAnchor Bay/Starz distributed this blu-ray something they hardly ever do unless it's The Walking Dead on blu rayWhich is shocking since Anchor Bay has gotten away from Cult, Horror/B-Movies over the yearsThis is one of there best "exclusive" BR since there first batch of classic horror films (Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Halloween, etc.)the disc has a lot of great extrasThe two stand out extras are the audio commentariesOne with the cast and the second with writer,producer, directorBoth commentary tracks are very interesting and enjoyableThe PQ is solid for the most part some scene do look a bit "off" due to using different equipment during re-shoots (It's hardly noticeable though)The audio on the other hand is a bit lack luster it's Ultra Stereo you get very little to any sound coming out of any side/back speakersWhich is a shame for a film with such kinetic energy going onThere always extras in the back ground making goofy commentsAnyone who loves Horror and Sci-Fi should check out this filmTroma is a sense the last real Indie film studio out thereOnce you see this film you'll either become a fan or not understand "There Brand"But, how can you not enjoy a film with a pet duck, lesbians, a Glee club of Mutant Punks and practical effectsThis is without a doubt my new favorite Troma film and I've seen a good amount of Troma films in the past 9/10

What's he gonna doooooo?
If you're here you probably already know Troma and the kinds of movies they make.Well, this is the high water mark. All the things you would expect to be there are present, as well as a few surprises.It's gross, it's funny, it's satirical, it's political, it's a skewd view on our modern society in many ways, and more than any of that it SCREAMS Troma at the top of it's lungs, and I truly LOVE this movie for that. Is it for everyone? NO.Is it for Troma fans? YES! I personally consider this to be the most entertaining movie Troma has made in quite some time. "Blissfully ignorant of social standards," would be my best description. And I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT>!!

Great movie, update the thumbnail picture.
Love the movie, arrived as described. Gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the advertisement had the troma green bluray case, and my edition did not. Yall should change the pictures.Extra important info: THIS IS ALSO NOT A REGION FREE BLURAY. It may not work in your device.

I've been Tromatized
This is the first Troma film i have seen, and now i am in love with these type films. This is yhe type of humor i have been looking for forever. Its black comedy, or death comedy dont know witch category. Very very vert extreme gore. So gory thats its hilarious. I mean this is rich art. Not for the faint of heart. I love Eugene the machine, he is like the most testosterone drenched teen i,ve ever seen. The acters and actresses are all so good that i give credit to them all. This is horror comedy, but unlike mainstream films, troma films are all about kenetic energy. Imagine all the people you went to school with, now imagine them as being way way over the top and you have an idea what to expect. i love the campy goober gags, keep em commin.

Boring as heck
This movie was boring as heck. It came off as a disney adaptation of the original Nuke 'Em High movies, recycling a lot of gags from those films but doing it poorly. It's like they had a checklist of the story and jokes of the first movies and wanted to hit everything, but missed the point of what made them good. Which is insane since Lloyd Kaufman directed this film.Without comparing this film to its predecessors: the story is slow and takes forever for anything to happen; the humor more often than not falls flat; the acting takes itself way too seriously for a troma film; I didn't even realize when the film climax hit; it's a two parter and who knows if the second part will ever release; I can't think of any memorable scenes from the movie.I will say that the guy playing the over-the-top boyfriend seemed to be the only actor that captured the manic energy and craziness Troma Kaufman films are known for.In the end, this movie is the star wars sequels of Nuke 'Em High. Just kind of boring and disappointing. (Still better than last jedi.)

"..TROMA ARE BACK ON TOP.."
Troma are back and showing they are as good as ever! Return to nuke em high is a loud crude disgusting mash up of sex violence boobs lesbians blood gore and ooze just as you expect it to be and there is plenty of it all, and of course lots of the usual insane dialogue and disgusting characters, anything goes here really its like we never left Tromaville, as usual the cast has your geeks and slobs and jocks and nerds and sexy girls all great characters, like I said plenty of sexy nudity, plenty of disgusting practical gore effects, if you love Troma you will feel at home straight away, there's lots of in gags too like plenty of toxic avenger things to spot in the background etc this is classic Troma an essential purchase for fans!!!DVD runs at 82 minutes.This is part 1 as the film was split so its to be continued.....As usual the UK get NO Blu-ray and NO special features! what crap!

Excellent service
I've ordered from Rarewaves USA and even though the product was dispatched from Chicago, it arrived earlier than expected. Can't fault the level of service. But, due human error (me not reading the same print), I ordered a Region A Blu-ray. This hasn't happened before and, usually, Troma movies aren't coded. When 'Return to Nuke 'Em High Vol. 1 arrived I noticed it was distributed by Anchor Bay. Lesson learnt but this won't stop me ordering from Rarewaves USA in the future; I'll just have to find a region hack for my player.
