Surf II

Ahh, to be back in Cali. Yes, I worked at a surf shop in Newport Beach. Yes, I went to Oingo Boingo concerts. AND HECK YES! I paid CASH, MEAN GREEN, to see this film in the theater when it came out (23 years ago folks).

One of the best/worst films EVER made. I managed to track down a rental copy whilst I was marooned in Minneapolis (for work, ugh) one fateful evening, still as awfully wonderful as ever (the film that is, not Minneapolis).

If you get a chance to see this trash-terpiece, by all means, do it, dude.

I remember going into a little cinema in Texas to see this film, I wasn't expecting much... What I saw was a dead-on parody of life in the 80's. This is one of the great films of the 80's. There is a great tribute to this film in The Simpsons if you notice Homer always drinks Buzz Cola at the nuclear plant. Surf II has a strange intensity that is lacking in most films of today, too bad its not available on video or DVD. I highly recommend you track this one down, it will be well worth it.

Mere words cannot describe the lunacy of SURF II. I will say that there is no SURF I,so don't bother searching. SURF II is a movie

you watch on a blistering hot day in an air-conditioned room,like

WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S. There are weird visual gags and a host of

bizarre characters,including Eric Stoltz! Just surrender your brain cells and watch it.

On behalf of the previous comment I must state-that I can only wish I was fortunate enough to see this film in theaters when it opened in 84, being that i was only 5 at the time, and don't believe it played in the 'god forsaken South, at least not in Arkansas. I'm sure it wasn't a possibility for my viewing pleasure.

Guess what, I hate big budget films, save the Bond epics, and I love B movies, mostly the ones from the 80's- if you want a hardcore piece of hilarity this film is it.

By the by, Eddie Deezen is a geek Hero if they're ever was one, and I rather liked Eric Stolts as a surfer dude. Last but not least a totally radical soundtrack. Stray Cats, Oingo Boingo, and the Circle Jerks all on one album-this rules!

This is one of the best stupid movies ever! Up there with Moving Violations and Detective School Dropouts (and my new favorite Dude Where's My Car). I loved the dual breakfast scene. And the Daddy-O greeting that Cleavon got whenever he entered the room. I think I'll have some Buzz Cola right now!
