136. Surf II (1984)

March 5, 2014

Surf II was a pretty awesome sequel to a movie that was never made and a fitting end to the trilogy*. This was another Alamo Drafthouse outing with friends, and I can safely say Surf II is the kind of movie you'll want to watch with friends. It was stupid, irrelevant, and totally hilarious. Eric Stoltz starred as one of two local surfer dudes who thought of nothing but surfing, and when a total nerd named Menlo developed a new soft drink called Buzzz Cola that was made from oil and a bunch of other nasty chemicals that turned whoever consumed them into hideous, brain-dead, mutant zombies, the surfer heroes had to stop the bad guy, save the day, and get the girls. Full of hilariously bad jokes and over-the-top campiness, Surf II was well worth the watch. Especially for the police officer, Chief Boyardie, who was my favorite character.

*Note: for anyone curious, they never made a Surf I or Surf III, yet Surf II was called the end of the trilogy.

You can watch the whole movie on youtube here:
