24 years later, how this film might be changed if a studio decided to green light it today.
1) Lamar Javelin scene would not make it
2) Asian stereotypical music would be gone (gong etc played)
3) Betty trick sex scene would not be filmed
I think that is it. Maybe the peeping tom hidden camera scenes also.
these r hilarious.lol
you'd see many more cops. making plenty of arrest. & court scenes.

shareWhat a great topic. It seems in this day and age, as far as we progressed, we've also gone backwards. Too afraid to offend, rather than have a laugh.
So far, all great suggestions, let me add:
No panty raid. In fact, that's for real. Once, a college tradition, it got phased out in the late 80's - early 90's.
The coeds wouldn't be topless, but would be wearing expensive looking bras (toplessness kills the product placement opportunity for "sexy" bras), but they would have standard looking boob-job breasts (which promotes boob-jobs).
Betty would not be bra-less under her pullover when she answers the door and declines Lewis's invitation.
No zooming in on crotches, even if lingerie-draped. it's too obviously lascivious, and therefore indefensible.
"Superman" would be doing aerobics in baggy, knee-length (or longer) board shorts.

also, since the Alpha Betas and the Pis are the villains, they would write-in standard liberal rhetoric to ensure they are villified. Such as Stan Gable being wealthy and a republican. Betty Childs having religious values, and FOX News being played in the background of the Fraternity house.
shareA remake of the original Revenge of the Nerds was slated for release in 2007; however, the project was canceled in 2006 after two weeks of filming. The cast included Adam Brody (who also co-produced), Dan Byrd, Katie Cassidy, Kristin Cavallari, Jenna Dewan, Chris Marquette, Ryan Pinkston, Efren Ramirez, and Nick Zano. The film was to be directed by Kyle Newman and executive produced by McG. The script was written by Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah, Adam Jay Epstein and Andrew Jacobson, and Adam F. Goldberg.
Filming took place in Atlanta, Georgia at Agnes Scott College, the Georgia State Capitol, and Inman Park. Filming was originally scheduled to take place at Emory College, but university officials changed their minds after reading the script. A story by the Chicago Tribune described the film as too "raunchy" for the campus administration.
In November 2006, the film was shelved by Fox Atomic. Producers found it difficult to shoot on the smaller Agnes Scott campus, and studio head Peter Rice was disappointed with the dailies. The remake would have been the first project for the newly created Fox Atomic. 20th Century Fox personnel have stated that it's highly unlikely that a remake will be picked up in the future.
if you think about it Old School is kind of a remake of this in a way.
So look at what they got away with in that one, they would have probably gotten away with a Nerds remake
The school actually encouraging the students to participate on a competition where drinking is required would never fly now a days!
