    When I was a kid I went on side jobs with my dad, who was a carpet layer. One weekend he told me we were going to a special job. We did the job and nothing at all seemed special but he kept telling me, "you'll see". When Revenge of the Nerds came out, he took me to see it and thats when I realized we had installed the carpet in the Lambda house. True story.

    Clap your hands everybody, and everybody clap your hands!
    We're Lambda Lambda Lambda and... Omega Mu
    We come here on stage tonight to do a show for you
    We've got a rockin rhythm and a high tech sound
    That'll make you move your body down to the ground
    We've got Poindexter on the violin
    And Louis and Gilbert will be joinin' in
    We've got Booger Presley on a mean guitar
    And a rap by little old me Lamar
    We've got Takashi beating on his gong
    The boys and the Mu's are clapping along
    And just when you thought you'd seen it all
    Along comes a Lambda 4 ft tall!
    So won't you come on out here, on the floor,
    so we can work our bodies like never before
    Break!

    I was a nerd in school during the 80's, and it was a living hell. I self loathed myself so much that I enlisted in the Army. . . .Funny thing was, a lot of other nerds had the same idea. Some of my best friends in life came from that experience. . . . it also allowed me to be able to embrace who I was. . . Im now approaching 50, still a nerd and very proud of it. You could say that Revenge of the Nerds was a beacon of hope for many just waiting to escape school and join the real world.

I will say this, I wouldn't want a movie like this to ever be remade, especially in its original spirit. Movies like this, Porky's, Caddyshack, etc, are very much a product of their time/era and if they were remade verbatim they would very anachronistic. However, some of the themes are still very relevant today.

      It sucked. I stopped playing D&D and doing some other nerd things as soon as I got into high school because "it wasn't cool". I never stopped reading or or watching what I wanted when I was alone, but I did the sports thing and it was almost impossible to have nerd friends AND jock friends (I didn't turn into a bully, I just didn't have time for both). Fact is, the hot girls were all at the "cool" parties, and that's where the beer and music was too, so that's where I was - but I feel like I was forced to choose and I was robbed of my nerdish tendencies because of the era.

You really don't know what you are looking at when you are that young like i was, but I don't remember it being a big deal to me and my mother didn't watch it with me when I watched it.

    I attended the University of Arizona from 1983 - 1988, graduating with a BS in Systems Engineering. Note the name of the school - in the 80s, there was still a distinct difference between colleges and universities. Colleges were more of a fancy trade school and universities were snootier with real research departments. Not Arizona University or - god forbid - Arizona College. In the US - I know it isn't your fault you don't know - Universities are either University of or State University. UofA is in Tucson, ASU is in Tempe, right next door to Phoenix. So I was on campus towards the last of the filming. Being an Engr student, I mostly didn't notice or care about the film. There was some discussion, but engineering students are the nerds' nerds. And, yeah, we were called nerds. There was supposed to be an actual frat guy in the movie, but he was largely cut out. The very last scene was filmed at night in front of "Old Main" - the first building ever built back in 1887. I was an extra in that scene. It was winter, cold, and we weren't allowed to wear coats, but it was some easy money. I haven't watched the movie.

    The movie doesn't try to present itself as any more than a good time but has strong message of overcoming your personal obstacles and acceptance at it's core. Also, the actors flushed out the characters themselves and it results in a more sincere performance. Actors don't get that kind of freedom anymore. Revenge of The Needs is one of my favorites but it can't be replicated. It is a product of it's time, lighting in a bottle.

      Sho nuff!
      Funny enough RLM did a review on it with Macaulay Culkin and Mike had never seen it before then. That's like being a child of the 80s and never seeing the goonies. How could such a thing happen?

      Understandable. Honestly, the only thing the films have in common is that a college is the setting. Otherwise, they're set in different eras and have very different approaches to their comedy. As a 1970s SNL watcher and a 1980s high schooler, I appreciate them both.

      Animal House was the first of its kind, they were inventing the genre.
      There was no pattern to go by. Several scenes were flat out improvised.
      Donald Sutherland was brought in because the producers felt the film needed a known screen actor to give it credibility. Outside of his SNL fans, Belushi had still yet to attain "star" status.
      The success of Animal House laid the groundwork for dozens of movies over the following 2 decades.

    THAT'S ME @ 13:25 in the black jacket (behind Robert Carradine) I was a freshman at the University of Arizona in Tucson in 1984 and watched some of the filming around campus. I was 20 years old then I'm now 55 !
