DEMOLITION UNIVERSITY is a disappointing follow-up to Jim Wynorski's DEMOLITION HIGH, a fun and cheesy DIE HARD clone with a school setting. It's hard for me to type this, but I actually wished Wynorski was directing this one as well. The plot merely copies the first film's, with another terrorist gang going up against Corey Haim's unlikely student hero, but the title is a cheat because the action is set in a water plant rather than a university.The script is poor and the events of the story seem dragged out. Once again there's a female henchwoman who ends up more of a threat than the main villain, but the kills are strictly predictable here and lack the imagination of the first movie. Haim is on autopilot and of the supporting cast only Robert Forster stands out. You'll want to stick with the fun, funny first movie and forget this one exists.

Demolition University, a movie with very little demolition and five minutes of university. But we get plenty of Corey Haim.The story is relatively straightforward. An American football player (Corey Haim) fails to catch a ball. Understandably, his angry team mates are enraged and decide to beat him up. However, they are prevented from doing so because they have to go and take a shower. After the lads have freshened up they chase Corey onto a yellow bus where he, the love-interest-girl and chief jock-baddie go on a field trip to a power plant. Unbeknownst to Corey and the gang, this power plant has been taken over by a renegade special forces soldier and a group of over-acting Arab terrorists. This ultimately leads to a game of cat and mouse between the terrorists, police and Corey Haim. At the centre of the chaos is a small glass jar of toxic liquid.This is not a great film, in fact it could be argued that this is a rubbish film. If you are going to have any hope of enjoying this you will need to look out for the little details. For example, there is one terrorist in a checked shirt who I shall refer to as Shouting Man. Shouting Man appears to be unable to pull the trigger of his assault rifle without shouting very very loudly. Watch him. It's hysterical. He's an idiot.Robert Forster turns up and sleepwalks through his performance. I guess he needed money for a new shed. Corey Haim tries his best but unfortunately he is Corey Haim. And he is clearly lost without Feldman. Although the relationship between Haim and the bad-jock reminded me of the chemistry between Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer in Top Gun. I was massively disappointed that they didn't use the line 'you can be my quarterback'.Strictly for die-hard Haimsters.

I watched this movie on the weekend, for lack of alternatives, and something i hadn't seen before.Well major disappointment. Very much a ready steady, lets start filming.. Lots of things stood out as poor, like the key switches for the self destruct, with the wires running down the wall underneath. then the employees of the water/power facility, all have brand new work hats. The chemical substance is so toxic it kills straight away with one sniff, yet the main bad guy takes a syringe, withdraws some of it, and pulls it out, syringe ready to squirt. Overall, a lot of the worst acting i have ever seen.

The genius of Corey Haim is once again on display in the epic motion picture. Following his thunderous performance in Demolition High, the university sequel is all it is cracked up to be. Yes they made 2 of these movies. Demo high and Demo U. And the 36 year old Haim is steals the show. I watched this movie and couldn't believe my eyes. The terrorists look like guys from Sicily and Haim's love interest is the girl from a crappy Tony Danza Movie. That is why it is so special. Lenny slater steps it up again, only this time in a college setting, that we see for all of 10 minutes. One main thing missing was Alan Thicke(growing pains pop) who was Haim's father in Demo High. If you want to laugh and be perplexed at the same time, watch this movie.
