The end of one of my favorite films, in which the nerds band together against the oppressive hierarchy of their school and claim their place amongst the students as equals.
As Dean it's appalling to see one of your staff trying to assault a student, as staff members u r supposed to be held to a high standard, and as Dean u protect your constituents.
After the nerds videotaped the Pies without consent, Louis basically raped Betty Childs by impersonating Stan, and the child molestor thing between Lamaar and Wormser.
Nerds usually grow up to be your boss. So remember that growing up, and be kind to your fellow nerds. You'll even feel better about yourself for being a better person.
Me and my friends from high school were all nerds and unpopular. Because some of us were fat, wore glasses, liked to play magic cards, from poorer families so they didn't have the nicest clothes. People laughed at us, teased us, bullied us, beat us up........ I'm still friends with those guys 15+ years later, some of the nicest, funniest , smartest guys I've ever met. I stopped worrying what others thought and started doing what I wanted to do, hang out with people who kind decent human beings with similar interests.
I was on the other side of the spectrum, while I've never bullied anyone, having certain sports skills and be in good shape qualified me to be in that selected group. I did sacrificed a lot to be there, like not having vacations in 5 years by spending summer vacations in training facilities so I could make school basketball, baseball, volleyball, tennis and soccer team. Yes, some of those guys were really mean against those non-privileged students who BTW were the large majority of the school. Notoriously, about 90% of those popular football/baseball jocks/cheerleaders were average or below average students, academically speaking. Sure they got tons of fun while it lasted. Seeing them 20 years after high school graduation in a reunion group, I realized how the "nerd" ones were on top of the food chain now, professionally and economically speaking. Most of those underrated "nerds" people made fun of them during 5 long years, became successful surgeons, IT engineers working for Motorola, IBM, psychiatrist, gynecologist, college deans, etc. From all that privileged and popular group(around 18), only 3 of us got successful professional careers, the rest just got meaningless and average jobs.
Two years after this event, the Adams College football team went 0-8 and was demoted to division III, and was discontinued five years later. The school's collective GPA, however, went from 1.8 to 3.9.
JC Malone i know the feeling, i was made to feel left out, picked on, laughed at, etc., bullies don't last, nerds win. the bullies/popular ppl i went to h.s. with are fat, bald, dumpy, old looking - 30 years later. i don't keep in touch w/h.s. classmates, one who thought he was the shit asked me for a date 20 years later - he was fat, bald and dumpy, i told him hell no
@delreydavid Take a look at my Comment. It was a different Mindset in the 1980's. He didn't Rape her by Force. He just had sex with her under false pretenses wearing the same Darth Vader mask that Stan wore. They weren't so Politically Correct Back then
One of my favorite movies from my childhood and it’s been more than 30 years since I’ve last watched this movie. While viewing this video, this 44 year old man got teary eyed at the part everyone started joining Gilbert and Lewis. They don’t make movies like this anymore
@@JonwithnoH0823 You're right. He is the boss. He should've fired the coach. But he lacked the courage and confidence to stand up to him and deal with him. It really is sad.
i love the fact that gilbert was aware that the nerds got something good going and he's not going to let a bunch of assholes take it away from him. even when they threw him on the fountain, he still didn't give up. he didn't give a shit if they beat him up. he's not going to stop. that's a fuckin' man.
Bernie Casey imho made this movie. How he can act so serious/straight-laced throughout the film made his character all the more funnier. And when he let loose during the 'Thriller' scene was beyond hilarious. Seeing his reactions while his world is being invaded by 'Nerd'-dom (while meeting Louis and the gang for the first time) was downright funny. He seems to always play the straight/serious characters in funny movies, but always stands out. A very, funny, under-rated actor, IMHO. Thanks, Mr. Casey, for the laughs and sharing your talents with us.
The Alphas were bullies who ruled by intimidation and fear, picking on people too weak to fight back. But like most bullies, when suddenly faced with a group willing (and in this case, EAGER) to fuck them up, they are quite literally frozen in terror. Honestly, can't say I blame them. Those glares give me chills to this day. Any Alpha who would have made a movie (including Ogre) would have ended up in the ICU.
Watching this movie had me wondering. Why was the dean so scared of the coach? Isn't the title of dean higher than coach? I do get that he is much smaller in size but the dean could've exert his dominance over the coach. I then realize it's an 80's movies and some of the plot points don't really need to make sense
@@al821 If the dean brought any action against the coach the former alunus would probably start pulling funds and put the dean up crap creek. In schools like this the school teams tend to rule.
I was a nerd/geek in high school and in college. There are a lot of us who is a nerd in some form or another. By hiding their hidden talent. Its their form of secret identity, from being in a band to being in a choir geek to being a sport jock, to being a cheerleader, class president, being a cook to being Associated Class President.
I wasn't a jock. I wad a gearhead, so still not excepted by the click. Didn't care much either. After I finished the ground up restoratiin of my 64 Pontiac Catalina and was helping all the girls, including the cheerleaders, keep their cars maintained and running the jicks started hitting me up to help them with their own cars. I never did. Karmas a bitch.
Ain't nobody gonna mess with those brothers! LMAO One of the many moments that made this movie so special. The cast said they did nothing but party on the Arizona campus they shot the film on.
Kind of bizarre but lots of hidden morale in these Nerds movies especially when later on the two major antagonists and Anti-Nerds, Ogre and Gable join the Nerds when they discover the Nerds forgive and welcome them after their Alpha Beta friends show their true colors towards them, teaches you that they most unlikely people are the ones who want to be your real friends when alot of people you are friends with are just using you for their own personal benefit.
The ABs to some degree understand they are caught up in a toxic culture perpetuated by their coach, but they’re are afraid to speak out for fear of being targeted themselves. In the original script it was made more explicit that Stan is a closet nerd paying off his brother to keep his secret.
@@GisherJohn24 Reminds me of what would happen to trump supporters if more blacks and Mexicans would stand up to them. Also reminds me of what did happen in the 2020 election.
Of COURSE the entire band joins them....brings back some memories. And, being an alum of the Blue Devils, I approve of their uniform design (although they had the 1976-80 trim on the front opening)
The end scene of the movie was brilliant and amazing . Anthony Edwards was the perfect choice to play Gilbert, his character had more then enough of the abuse that the jocks had heaped on him and his friends.At least he and Lewis had the courage to stand up and give that speech that touched everyone in the stands including their girlfriends Judy and Betty. Nerds rule & jocks suck.
Stan's expression of guilt (6:10) has a backstory that didn't make it to the final cut. In the original storyline, Stan tried to conceal a secret from the AlphaBeta fraternity; he had a brother who was a nerd. If you've seen the DVD extras and deleted scenes, you'll know this. There's a scene where Stan's brother calls to ask him a favor; to which Stan quickly reprimands him and says never to call back again. I may have the exact details wrong, but you get the point. It all comes full circle in the end of Nerds Part 3 where Stan is liberated and says he always wanted to pursue other things (reading books, getting good grades) growing up, but was forced by his parents to aspire to more superficial pursuits; becoming popular and finding a platform to feed that popularity, sports. I wished they could've kept this in the film, so as to add more complexity to his character arc. A fun little trivia for all ROTN lovers like me.
There was also a scene in the original script where Stan sneaks back to his room and puts on his nerd glasses to read a text book but hides them when discovered.
That speech....those of you who have ever been put down, picked on, left out .......that’s really beautiful. I believe most have felt like that at least a couple times ....I know I have plenty of times
I like to think that the Tri Lambd's took the nerds under their wing as back then black people were viewed as different and ultimately identified with the nerds. Hence why they all turned up to support their new found brothers Great film on so many levels.
6:11 interesting fact, a deleted scene showed Stan having trouble with his eyes while doing homework, and puts on eyeglasses that looked a lot like Lewis's. He quickly removes them when Ogre barges in. He's a closet nerd. It looks like he wants to join them.
you can see it @ 5:03 too. His expression is very much in contrast to Ogre's - who just seems confused; where Stan quickly glances at Ogre and then looks to the floor.
This will always touch me & remind me of being picked on & pushed around when I was young . And the day I stood up to my bullies . I became a very large man & strong. I always stood up to bullies for others as well ! The bass riff is my come out music !!
@@erickbuckner4485 By the time I had the opportunity to do it Karma had already fought back for me, it took me a very long time to understand “ the Bully “ they’re just scared unloved children that feel the need to lash out at those who get what they don’t …love ❤️
6:09 - Ted McGinley did such a great job here. The despondent facial expression he gives just nails that of a man who knows he's lost the respect of everyone that once admired him. He just looks so utterly defeated.
I like how the ΛΛΛ rescue squad is filmed; they appear in order of intimidation factor. They're outnumbered, but I bet any given five of them could fuck the Alpha Betas up.
- " Any of you that have ever felt stepped on, left out, picked on, put down, whether you think you're a nerd or not, why dont you come down and join us..." Smacks back also to "The Breakfast Club" (1984). "Each one of us is an Athlete, a Brain, a Basket Case, a Princess, and a Criminal..." Notice too after Robert Carradine as Gilbert's friend Louis ends his speech, even Betty and the other cheerleaders feel exactly the same way.... And having Queen's "We Are the Champions" song playing on the soundtrack, just closes the scene perfectly... Kudos too former Los Angeles Rams player Bernie Casey as Lambda Lambda Lambda fraternity President U.N. Jefferson for a spot on performance in this gem... :)
One of the Black Tri Lambs is Coolidge from The White Shadow TV show, glad he made it out the Ghetto and went to college, probably because he was mentored by his Basketball Coach!
The character of Stan experienced in literature called a Peripeteia where he experiences a turning point in his fortune when he become a nerd. His court room apology to Louis and confession that he is a nerd serves as a character development. He had his moment of reversal and remorse for his actions.
People who are studying the MANDELA EFFECT and the missing ending of the song "We are the Champions" by Queen, you can clearly here the "OF THE WORLD" ending at 6:33 of this video, which doesn't seem to be a part of any of the studio recorded versions but is definitely featured in at least one live recording. Here is your "other world" proof :)
You're correct. However, the movie ends with a choral version of "We are the Champions" sung by the Royal Choral Society, in which they end the song with "OF THE WORLD". Revenge of the Nerds was released in 1984 and the famous Wimbley Stadium Queeen Concert where Freddie ends the song with "of the world" was done in 1985 which leads to be believe that "of the world" was actually the ending of the song because why whould a presticious institution like that choral society tack on an ending to such an iconic song that wasn"t there before. Also, since the choral recording was done in 1984, was Freddie influenced to end the song in live versions with "of the world" because of "Revenge of the Nerds" ?? And please, no one bite my head off; it's just a theory.
Can you shut up already about the God damn Mandela Effect already?! Freddie would have a field day laughing at people trying to connect one of his songs to some BS presudoscience.
My power movie when I first saw this movie when I was in Jr High and getting severely bullied it gave me power to make it through the day so it was watched everyday before school. Even now in my 40's I still watch it when things are too much.
@@rolando90s Thank you for asking how I am. I am not a drunk who most of the jocks in my high school have ended up being. I am a good person with alot of good friends. I think I am doing pretty good .
You're jocks... go live in the gym lol! So many one liners in this one. Ultimate classic. I love Animal House as well but I think this one edges AH in college comedies. Both paved the way Old School, Van Wilder, etc but neither of them can beat those.
It's amazing how, in the span of a single year, Gilbert left Ridgemont High School in California where he used to get stoned each morning in a VW van with his best friend Jeff Spicoli, applied to and enrolled in Adams College, cut his hair, put on a shirt, stopped smoking dope, straightened himself out, got straight As, met a life-long friend, got a great girlfriend, and reached his true potential.
Just as he was at the party...Bernie Casey didn't move when the throngs of people approached the nerds. Chaos was all around him, and he didn't move. Thx for the laughs, MR. Casey. RIP, Sir.
Legend has it that Bernie Casey is still pointing at John Goodman
Oh shit!! That's so funny.
And John Goodman's still shitten kittens.
That must have made for an interesting burial ceremony for Bernie.
Lol
RIP Bernie Casey
I love it when the Dean takes up for Gilbert. "You will do nothing of the sort, don't touch that boy!"
You can tell he was a nerd in his day. Most likely bullied by coach.
I did too. School should be a safe place for everyone!
As Dean it's appalling to see one of your staff trying to assault a student, as staff members u r supposed to be held to a high standard, and as Dean u protect your constituents.
This movie was so ahead of its time, that the audio was literally coming after it
LMFAO hahahahahah nice one lol
Best movie review ever. A++ would read again
Awesome 🤩
LOL
Like a Godzilla movie.
Gilbert graduated college, joined the military, and took on the nickname of "Goose"
Then remarries a movie star who died on set and move back to Ludlow, Maine with his son, where Chaos reigns.
Then becomes an E.R. Doctor.
@@combatspeed6392 Uh, no, he died in a training accident in the pacific.
@@fredg8199 good job killing the joke idiot. Anthony Edwards plays Dr Mark Green on E.R. in the 90s way after Top Gun.
But but...He hit the canopy! I seen it in 1987.
I like how Bernie Casey and the brothers walked in with style.
Cool scene!
Bernie Casey talented, like his movies. Wish he could of made more. RIP Mr. Casey, 2017.
Yeah, I've always loved the track playing when those dudes steam rolled in
This is one of the most underrated, best endings ever. When the black tri lambs come out and defend the nerds... I absolutely love it
That's counts two of us
Maybe for anyone under the age of 20… its quite wellknown and acclaimed by adults
Stan looks remorseful there. Yet in part 3 he’s suddenly back to being an asshole again
Yep, first time i watched it, I had forgotten that there were other Tri Lambda chapters. It was awesome to see backup arrive!
i know it is quite off topic but does anyone know of a good place to watch new series online ?
My dad took me to see this movie. He sure picked some great ones. I’m grateful to have reminders like this of great times we spent together.
This scene was so badass when the other Lambdas walked out to save their brother!!!!!! And the speech was awesome!!!!
After the nerds videotaped the Pies without consent, Louis basically raped Betty Childs by impersonating Stan, and the child molestor thing between Lamaar and Wormser.
Nerds usually grow up to be your boss. So remember that growing up, and be kind to your fellow nerds. You'll even feel better about yourself for being a better person.
I wish I could see more of it
Yeah baby,yeah!!
Unfortunately when you get a boss who was a jock you are in for toxic leadership.

They already did something similar in R.O.T.N 2...with Ogre! 🥴

Rumor has it that Gilbert became a Naval Aviator, flying in F-14s, maintaining foreign relations, but was killed in a mishap.
His goose was cooked but not before giving the bird to Mother Goo... Mother Russia...
I think Gilbert was too smart a Nerd to Join Scientology. He later did become a doctor and worked at an E.R. at a Chicago Hospital.
Nope....he ended up a Dr. in a Chicago ER. Sadly he died of a brain tumor.
That speech....those of you who have ever been put down, picked on, left out .......that’s really beautiful. I believe most have felt like that at least a couple times ....I know I have plenty of times

amazing vid...just wish the video matched the audio. love it!
6:09 - Ted McGinley did such a great job here. The despondent facial expression he gives just nails that of a man who knows he's lost the respect of everyone that once admired him. He just looks so utterly defeated.
Don Gato
Real talk. The look of a man who willingly accepted defeat.
he lost his girlfriend Betty to nerd which even years later in nerd 3 he still had issues with hated nerd got on Lewis nephew
Ya know I really feel that, as everyone gathers together, you see Stan watching and I really think he feels remorseful for the things he did!
Ogre becomes a Nerd in the 2nd one and Stan becomes a Nerd in the 3rd one.
May atmospheric funky bass licks always materialize just in time to guide you through the storms of life.
Word!!!
I remember watching this as a 12-year old kid. That was the first time I heard Queen's We are the Champions. It's also the first time I saw bush.
Hair pie
@@sig45flyingpigs Yes! Lovely Hairpie!
One of my favourite endings to a film.
I like how the ΛΛΛ rescue squad is filmed; they appear in order of intimidation factor.
They're outnumbered, but I bet any given five of them could fuck the Alpha Betas up.
"No one is really going to be free until Nerd Persecution ends."
Definitivamente tremenda película que marcó la década de los 80.
- " Any of you that have ever felt stepped on, left out, picked on, put down, whether you think you're a nerd or not, why dont you come down and join us..."
Smacks back also to "The Breakfast Club" (1984). "Each one of us is an Athlete, a Brain, a Basket Case, a Princess, and a Criminal..."
Notice too after Robert Carradine as Gilbert's friend Louis ends his speech, even Betty and the other cheerleaders feel exactly the same way....
And having Queen's "We Are the Champions" song playing on the soundtrack, just closes the scene perfectly...
Kudos too former Los Angeles Rams player Bernie Casey as Lambda Lambda Lambda fraternity President U.N. Jefferson for a spot on performance in this gem... :)
U.N. Jefferson is the shit!
Tuna on White, No Crusts He passed away yesterday fam. I did a video on him just now
I like earlier in the movie when Lewis is telling him over the phone the nerds put Liquid Heat in the players jocks.
UN: (laughing) You did what?!”
Dudes got the London Philharmonic Orchestra to sing that closing song..brilliant 🤩👌🏾
I was watching tik tok videos, and saw a Javelin throw, and thought of this movie. I'm 41, one of my favorites
A classic!
One of the Black Tri Lambs is Coolidge from The White Shadow TV show, glad he made it out the Ghetto and went to college, probably because he was mentored by his Basketball Coach!
The character of Stan experienced in literature called a Peripeteia where he experiences a turning point in his fortune when he become a nerd. His court room apology to Louis and confession that he is a nerd serves as a character development. He had his moment of reversal and remorse for his actions.
Quite simply one of the greatest films of the 80s
People who are studying the MANDELA EFFECT and the missing ending of the song "We are the Champions" by Queen, you can clearly here the "OF THE WORLD" ending at 6:33 of this video, which doesn't seem to be a part of any of the studio recorded versions but is definitely featured in at least one live recording. Here is your "other world" proof :)
Nice find.
Actually, it is ending the song at around 1:12. Go look up the actual song and you will hear it end there with the piano sound like on here.
You're correct. However, the movie ends with a choral version of "We are the Champions" sung by the Royal Choral Society, in which they end the song with "OF THE WORLD". Revenge of the Nerds was released in 1984 and the famous Wimbley Stadium Queeen Concert where Freddie ends the song with "of the world" was done in 1985 which leads to be believe that "of the world" was actually the ending of the song because why whould a presticious institution like that choral society tack on an ending to such an iconic song that wasn"t there before. Also, since the choral recording was done in 1984, was Freddie influenced to end the song in live versions with "of the world" because of "Revenge of the Nerds" ?? And please, no one bite my head off; it's just a theory.
Can you shut up already about the God damn Mandela Effect already?! Freddie would have a field day laughing at people trying to connect one of his songs to some BS presudoscience.

LOL!!!! We should contact other members of the band and see how they react.
My power movie when I first saw this movie when I was in Jr High and getting severely bullied it gave me power to make it through the day so it was watched everyday before school. Even now in my 40's I still watch it when things are too much.
Dude how's your life. Here a great theory nerds are more successful than jock because of incone.
@@rolando90s Thank you for asking how I am. I am not a drunk who most of the jocks in my high school have ended up being. I am a good person with alot of good friends. I think I am doing pretty good .
I saw this on tv in a restaurant and I desperately wanted to know what movie this was. Thank you James Halliday for leading me in the right direction
I’ve always said that I love nerds. They can really cool once you get to know them
Lambda Lambda Lambda, don't play!
Even Oger thought to himself “I’m not gonna fuck with these brothers 😂😂😂
You're jocks... go live in the gym lol! So many one liners in this one. Ultimate classic. I love Animal House as well but I think this one edges AH in college comedies. Both paved the way Old School, Van Wilder, etc but neither of them can beat those.
I love how the term "big deal" took on 2 totally different meanings in a matter of seconds.
other of the greatest end scenes ever, I'm collecting and most of them belong to the 80s. Movies are not like these anymore these days.
Gotta admit- Watching them walk into that vandalized mess was heartbreaking.
So in this scene, we have Dan Connors, Jefferson Darcy, Dr. Greene, a Kobra Kai student, and Captain America.
Who played captain america?
@@Minivan3023 Matt Sallinger (Danny Burke) played Captain America in the 1990 version.
Glee cannot be compared to this classic film.
All those agree say Lambda 3 times
Lambda Lambda Lambda!
Lambda Lambda Lambda!
Lambda Lambda Lambda!
Lambda Lambda Lambda!!!
LAMBDA LAMBDA LAMBDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hold it Coach, you just hold it right there! - U.N Jefferson. #RipBernieCasey
Rayshard Robinson RIP Bernie Casey
Legend has it
U.N. is still standing there angrily pointing his finger til this day!!
Hahahahaha
"There's a lot more of us than there are of you..."
I love it when the brothas role in.
It was the nerds who created all that we know of society today in terms of tech n sociological evolution. Da Vinci was a nerd!
Da vinci was not. He was an all rounder. He has brains, was a military captain, an artist and got girls like the jocks did.
I thought da vinci was a gay man?
Da vinci was gay.. lol.
That was Michelangelo. Or one of the other Ninja Turtles, I dunno.
Da Vinci was famously celibate.
Michelanglo got a lot of girls (and guys), but never seemed to get into a relationship until his late 30s.
Greatest comedy of the 80s!
It's amazing how, in the span of a single year, Gilbert left Ridgemont High School in California where he used to get stoned each morning in a VW van with his best friend Jeff Spicoli, applied to and enrolled in Adams College, cut his hair, put on a shirt, stopped smoking dope, straightened himself out, got straight As, met a life-long friend, got a great girlfriend, and reached his true potential.
Stans face says it all, he felt like shit
THE Look on Ogres? face is priceless. He know those bruthas would whoop dat azz!
Nerds rule the world now...thanks in-part to this movie. The movie made the "band of outcasts" into a diverse set of individual heroes.
I'm proud to be a nerd
50 now and still kicking ass.
Just as he was at the party...Bernie Casey didn't move when the throngs of people approached the nerds. Chaos was all around him, and he didn't move. Thx for the laughs, MR. Casey. RIP, Sir.
That funk music for their entrance was terrific. I had pandora play 70s funk the other day, and it was awesome.
The rest of the nerds conveniently show up when the bass guitar kicks in.
This scene always spoke to me on so many levels, especially now!
Love This Movie My Favorite Part When The Queen Song Come On We Are Champions They Had Me
"I'm a nerd and umm... I'm pretty proud of it!"
I love that the Lamdas brought grow ass men
I love the scene when all the Lambdas show up and the Alpha Betas look scared.
