Revenge of the Nerds III: The Next Generation Trailers

The nerds are now in control of the university, as a result of Lewis Skolnick and the rest's actions in the two previous movies. A new generation of sportsmen arrive, however, determined on winning the school back. The principle, himself an ex-nerd fighter, helps them, and the nerds return to suppression. Harold Skolnick needs help from his uncle Lewis, the hero of the first two movies. Lewis, however, are not too proud of his nerd past, and won't reveal any of it, much less help his nephew. However, his wife makes him change his mind, and with help from his friends from the first two movies, they start the fight to win the school back, using classic nerd tricks.

OK; I don't get all the negative reviews here. I will list what I did and did not like about this film. Being that I am a HUGE Robert Carradine fan, I was pleased as punch to see him reprise his role as Lewis Skolnick. You can replace a lot of actors in a lot of roles but not this one; Mr. Carradine owns it and nobody could ever do what he's done with this character. I also liked seeing Julia Montgomery back in her role as Betty and Curtis Armstrong as Booger. I didn't care for the "new generation" of nerds. Toyota is just a bad ripoff of Booger, I don't understand that Edith character at all and the character of Harold Skolnick seriously lacked the charm of the original nerds. I liked how Stan Gable finally came to understand who he is and to embrace himself; seems like he finally learned how to take responsibility for his own life. All in all, this was a cute movie but it did not have the charm of the original or the first sequel. My favorite part was the end when the original nerds came back to support Lewis. The actor who played Gilbert bore a striking similarity to Anthony Edwards. I would love to see another ROTN come out; perhaps with Lewis and Betty's son now at Adam's College? I would watch that most definitely!!!

Terrible movie. And what's with Stan claiming he graduated Adams college in '80 and Lewis claiming he graduated in '81? It just made an already bad movie that much more confusing. The original was released in 1984 and the sequel in 1987. Neither movie made reference to having taken place in the past. As a matter of fact, the technical gizmos the nerds played with were 1980s stuff. Even the clothing and decor were 1980s. I thought the first two movies were pretty good. I can even remember going to see the sequel when it came out in the summer of '87. It was on my 18th birthday. I couldn't even make it all the way through this one. I'm not even going to waste my time on part 4.

Revenge of the Nerds III (1992) was one of several made-for-t.v. movies that premiered on FOX. Even though this one is a slight improvement over the last movie it's still bad. I don't even know why the FOX network bothered showing this movie. Although it has a more interesting story and a return of several characters, the end results are not satisfactory. But if you're a big Revenge of the Nerds fan, you'll be in "nerd" heaven. Others stay away.A slight improvement over the horrendous part II, Revenge of the Nerds III is a bad movie. I can't recommend something like this. Watch if you must but don't say I didn't warn you!Not recommended.

i shouldn't even be wasting my time offering my opinion on this movie. i watched it for the first time this week on cable, and it was pure crap. it's hard to believe someone got paid to write this movie. all they did was discuss scenes from the first installment, which i happen to think is one of the funniest movies of all time. don't bother with this one.
