Nuke 'Em High, Part II

After the school was destroyed in the first movie, it's only natural that, for entertainment's sake, the school be rebuilt and merged with the nuclear power plant. Our protagonist is a beefcake named Roger who everybody views as a stupid nerd, which is pretty funny. He finds love with a woman named Victoria, who happens to be a subhumanoid with a mouth on her belly button, capable of melting down into a pile of green slime at any point!

I've been told that this movie sucks, but I was pretty entertained the whole damn time. It's very much in the vein of a Lloyd Kaufman directed movie, even though he served more as a writer/producer. Everyone is batshit crazy, dressed like punks and weirdos, and the women are completely objectified. Everyone gets covered in blood and slime, they're all dumb as shit, and I'm completely content with all of this.

It's funny how the main character always talks to his recorder, addressing it as Diane. This was around the same time that Twin Peaks came out, so it can very well be an homage or coincidence. I've always thought that Lisa Gaye is pretty sexy and ridiculous at the same time with her snooty bee-haviour and bee-hive hairdo. I looked her up and saw that she reprises her role in the next movie, as well as a 2020 Lloyd Kaufman film "Shakespeare's Shitstorm". So Lloyd actually directed a movie recently?!

Also, the film is part Godzilla movie, only instead of a giant lizard, it's a giant mutated Squirrel. It's Troma-riffic.
