Revenge of the Nerds II (1987)

80s movies only cool kids remember
20th Century Fox

Of course everyone remembers Revenge of the Nerds. But what about Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise?

That’s the one where the nerds travel to Florida for spring break and face the state’s rampant anti-nerd discrimination — but overcome it with dignity and aplomb. Also, with the help of a Cuban military arsenal and a pre-Melrose Place Courtney Thorne-Smith (with Robert Carradine, above).

There’s a cool emphasis on inclusion in this Nerds – even Ogre (Donald Gibb) gets his moment in the sun. No on 15!

This one was a hit, but is of course overshadowed by Revenge of the Nerds and the modern recognition of how poorly the film has aged, in some regards.
