Revenge of the Nerds: Public Enemy Number One

Robot Chicken’s breakdown of the crimes committed in the original Revenge of the Nerds movie made me think of how the others stacked up:

Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise

The rap sheet:

Grand Theft Auto

Assault

Illicit Drug Use

Corrupting a Minor

Under-aged Drinking

Sexual Harassment

Sexual Assault

Illegal Border Crossing

Destruction of Property

Invading U.S. Soil

Providing a false I.D. to police

Public Indecency

Crime plays a pivotal role in the sequel, as the Jocks frame the Nerds for stealing their car to have their charter revoked, because, as Ogre puts it, “NEEEEEEERRRRRRDS!” They respond to this by invading U.S. soil with a tank they found by happenstance, which they proceed to drive through a wall and into a pool, endangering hundreds of lives in the process. To summarize, they start an ACTUAL WAR with real weapons of war over what is essentially a prank. Plus, I’m pretty sure they skipped bail after being arrested for the car incident. The jock admitted he set them up to a large audience of people, but that kind of thing still has to go to court.
