I have this vivid imagination. When I see a group of good guys battle bad guys, I picture them with superpowers. What does that have to do with REVENGE OF THE NERDS? Nothing. Anyhow, the heroes, lead by Carradine and Edwards, featuring known actors Tochi, Bernie Casey and Armstrong, battle the villians McKinley, Sallinger, John Goodman and Gibb in a dud-versus-stud battle for Adams College. The Nerds were sick and tired of being picked on by their enemies, so they fought back. Using such tactics like liquid heat in their underwear(Flyer). Personally, the jocks were jerks. McKinley and Gibb could be reasoned with, but Sallinger(Burke)? I wanted to tear that sunnivamutt's freakin' head off--and make bookends with Goodman's character(Coach Brown), too. Why was that guy a Brown? Insult to my last name! Whoa now, lets not go too far to the left. Armstrong's Booger Dawson wasn't no angel, either. The other nerds were fine and all, but Dawson royally sucked socks! He was definitely called Booger not because he picked his nose, but mucus could be found between his ears instead of a brain. Overall, the movie earned a 5 out of 10. The idiots who wrote the script made the film too crude and crass for its own good. The nudity was not a problem. In fact, I would rather see the whole cast nude from the 20th Century Fox logo to the end credits than to put up with the screwed-up dialogue from some of the characters, especially butt-wipes Booger and Burke! The sequel and the two TV Movies were much more fun, especially the second TV Movie, Nerds in Love. Wackier, Sillier, and Booger was less of a Booger there. As the series progressed, the Nerds became more and more of the heroes I love to imagine--even to this day.
