In what is otherwise nothing but mindless teenage mayhem, John P. Ryan absolutely steals the film as Robot #1. Patrick Kilpatrick and Pam Grier are barely noticeable next to Ryan's evil character. Forget the endless ridiculous automatic weapon gun play, and concentrate on John P. Ryan's memorable performance. Like in "Runaway Train", he is a no nonsense villain that completely dominates every scene he is in. I give this six stars not for the "Mad Max" goes to high school script. Not for the throw out acting from all concerned except Ryan. Not for the few welcome moments of "dark comedy". There is one and only one reason to sit through "Class of 1999", and that is the comanding performance of John P. Ryan. - MERK
