It’s offered up in an AVC 1080p encodement from Fox. Overall, it’s bright and natural in appearance with good contrast.

Colors look vibrant and flesh tones are spot on. While there is a coarse layer of grain, especially in darker scenes, the image is clean, lacking most issues with dirt, dust, and scratches. Scott) laying down an old school rap.įor an ’80s comedy, Revenge of the Nerds looks better than expected on Blu-ray.

A standout moment is the Devo-like musical performance by the Lambdas and Mus to close out the festival, which includes a “Beat It!” jacket-wearing Lamar (Larry B.

The spy camera gag (I do believe that’s a crime in most states these days), prompts one of the most ridiculous proclamations from actor Curtis Armstrong, who plays the burnout named “Booger”, when he yells “We have bush! We have bush!” That’s the level of comedy, but, it’s somehow hilarious, nevertheless. Mostly, we see a lot of gorgeous sorority girls in various stages of undress and compromised situations. Revenge of the Nerds is quick paced and, really, one set piece after another of mostly puerile, but lighthearted pranks. A win for the Lambdas and their counterpart sorority of misfits, Omega Mu, will mean the presidency of the Greek Council and finally some respect – maybe. The big showdown comes at a school festival in which the fraternities and sororities compete against one another in everything from belching contests and arm wrestling to a tricycle race.

That’s when the band of outcasts decide to fight back, joining the all-black fraternity Lambda Lambda Lambda, and launching their own series of attacks, including a panty raid on the Pi’s, setting up a network of spy cameras in the Pi’s sorority house, and pouring liquid heat on the Alphas jock straps. This doesn’t help their standing much, as they become the instant target of pranks from the Alphas and their partner sorority of beauties Pi Delta Pi, led by the gorgeous blonde Betty (Julie Montgomery). Led by Gilbert and Lewis, who hook up with a group of misfits, they find themselves a ramshackle house and fix it up. Since the Alphas are also the school’s prized athletes for the football team, the Adams Atoms, they take over the freshmen dorms, and the freshmen get booted into a gymnasium - but not for long. The Alpha’s burn down their house with a stupid stunt involving over-proofed alcohol and a lighter during a frat party. When the two best friends, two so-called “geeks”, arrive at Adams hoping to change their social standing they find things aren’t all that different from high school. The story pits the popular jocks, of Alpha Beta, led by the golden-haired Stan (Ted McGinley), against a group of misfits, including Adams College freshmen Gilbert (Anthony Edwards) and his best friend Lewis (Robert Carradine). A crude and juvenile sex comedy at its heart, the film demands to be viewed through the lenses of a much less “PC” era, even as it simultaneously extols the virtues of being true to oneself, not being who society expects one to be. One of the iconic comedies of the 1980s, Revenge of the Nerds is a classic tale of misfits, underdogs, and outcasts taking on the establishment.
