3/10
Worst one of the series & a pretty crud film all round.

Warning: Spoilers
Class of Nuke 'Em High 3: The Good, the Bad and the Subhumaniod picks up where Class Of Nuke 'Em High Part II: Subhumanoid Meltdown (1991) finished, the mutant squirrel is blown to kingdom come by the bomb disguised as an Acorn & the Tromaville Institute for Technology is left in ruins. Ace reporter for the Troma Tech Times Roger Smith (Brick Bronsky) learns that his Subhumanoid girlfriend Victoria (Leesa Rowland) is pregnant, the big day arrives & Victoria gives birth to twins although misguided genetic scientist Professor Holt (Lisa Gaye) & evil corporate guy Dr. Slag, PHD (John Tallman) steal the first twin & disappear before the second is born. Roger is unaware that Victoria gave birth to twins & happily thinks he has only one son who he names Adlai (Brick Bronsky again) & brings up to be a caring person, however Dr. Slag calls the other twin Dick (Brick Bronsky again, again) & raises him to be just plain evil. Both twins are fully matured within two years & soon discover the other's existence, Dr. Slag & Professor Holt want Adlai to join forces with Dick & combine their subhumanoid powers to do their own evil bidding...

Co-written & directed by Eric Louzil I personally thought Class of Nuke 'Em High 3: The Good, the Bad and the Subhumanoid was far worse than either parts 1 or II, everything that made those films even mildly watchable & amusing is lacking here & it's back to normal service as far as Troma goes. The script by Louzil, Stephen Gerard, Lloyd Kaufman, Carl Morano, Mark F. Rosling, Matt Unger & Jeffrey W. Sass is more of a comedy than a horror, in fact there is very little horror here. It commits the ultimate sin for a comedy, it simply isn't funny. It's stupid, moronic, dumb & tedious but it's definitely not funny. Close-up shots of womens bums who then fart is about as sophisticated as this juvenile nonsense gets, a scene when a genetically created mutant Werewolf thing is killed by hitting it with rolled up newspaper's like you would an ordinary dog (you would?), a lot of the jokes make fun of the previous film & it starts to parody itself coupled together with the usual dumb tasteless gags you'd expect from Troma. I also have to mention the way the narrative is presented, generally speaking this film doesn't really have any plot worth bothering with but the ENTIRE film is narrated from one persons perspective, it's almost as if they didn't film any sound during certain scenes or perhaps they were just to lazy & talentless to write any decent dialogue & a proper story to go with it, at over 100 minutes it's far too long as well.

Director Louzil, he also directed the previous entry in the series, was obviously working with a low budget & it shows. Pretty much the whole thing is a mess. Again this has a few funny closing credits, along with 'Set Dresser' there's credits for 'Salad Dresser' & 'Cross Dresser' while 'Key Grip' is followed by 'Golf Grip', you get the idea. There are no laughs & there's no horror in this one either, I honestly can't even remember any gore. The usual abundance of nudity is present & correct though.

Technically speaking Class of Nuke 'Em High 3: The Good, the Bad and the Subhumanoid is pretty dire, it's flat, bland & badly made throughout with rotten special effects. The acting is poor although am I the only one who actually quite fancies Lisa Gaye from these films? I hate the ridiculous beehive hair-do but there's something about her... Also, who names their son Brick? Apart from Mr. & Mrs Bronsky that is...

Class of Nuke 'Em High 3: The Good, the Bad and the Subhumanoid is a pretty useless film, as a comedy it's not funny, as a horror it's not scary or shocking, as a piece of film-making it doesn't even register & it just about fails on all levels. Do you really want to watch a film where the camera moves up a good looking woman's body from the feet up & when it reaches her bum she lets out a loud fart? I'll say no more, watch one of the previous two instead...
