- Complete Monster: Dr. Robert "Bob" Forest is the greedy head of Megatech and the creator of the malfunctioning teaching droids. Wanting a multi-billion dollar contract with the Department Of Education Defense, Forrest creates three shoddy education androids, which are in reality military surplus droids with a teaching module inserted in them. When an experimental test run of the droids goes wrong, he refuses to shut down the program, occasionally blaming their victims in the process. When Principal Langford tries to shut the experiment down, Forrest has the droids kill him. When surviving teens confront him in their school, he takes Langford's daughter Christie hostage, gunning down one of the survivors when he tries to stop him.
- Retroactive Recognition: Rose McGowan makes her film debut as one of the students.
- Special Effect Failure:
- While many of the effects have held up for its low budget, the shot of Mr. Hardin's head being blown apart sees him replaced with a glaringly fake prop with not a whole lot of depth.
- The shot of Bryles walking down the hallway after the bus explosion contains some questionable optical compositing.
- Visual Effects of Awesome: For a low budget B-movie, the “damaged Bryles” animatronic is pretty damned impressive for the period and rather creepy.
