 A case of the 'Surf Nazi' blahs | |
| In the mood to expand my collection of cult/trash movie faves, I saw this on VHS at the local rental joint, and was intrigued by its title. So I took it home, gave it a view... and found it a rather ordinary bit of cr@ptacular cinema. Sure it had its usual array of Troma-tic stuff like a low-budget look, a ridiculous premise and "plot" (heh), a few scenes and cuts that didn't make all that much sense (a Troma trademark), and less-than-realistic acting. But when it was all put together here, I didn't find myself being all that entertained by the cheesy hokiness of it all like I have with other cult/trash fare. The only thing I found particularly amusing was the fact that the producers and director apparently tried to give 'Surf Nazis Must Die' the feel of a serious film, which I felt was pretty weird considering its rather ludicrous premise. On the upside, I was treated to a promo for another Troma release, "The Class of Nuke 'Em High", prior to viewing the tape's feature presentation. Judgin' from what I saw in that two-minute trailer, "Nuke 'Em High" looks to be many times funnier and more entertaining than "Surf Nazis"! Methinks I'll be checkin' that one out, next time I hit the local rental place... 'Late | |

| When I first heard about Surf Nazis Must Die, a few images flashed through my mind that made me very excited about seeing it. I pictured WWII Nazis fighting Allied troops...ON SURFBOARDS!! I didn't forsee much of a plotline, but that wouldn't matter. I figured that there would be ample violence and enough unintended laughs to make this movie worth seeing/buying. Unfortunately, Surf Nazis Must Die is very different from how I imagined it. It is about post-apocalyptic California, where evil neo-Nazis rule the beaches. Even then, there would still be potential for the film. However, there is very little violence throughout the entire movie and there are almost no unintentional laughs, mainly because the director was actually trying to make a VERY serious movie. As a result, it is boring and hard to sit through. The only redeeming quality of this movie is the fact that we can watch as a lady in her mid to late 60s rides a motorcycle and kills a few people. Even then, the action doesn't occur until the last 10 minutes of the movie. All in all, I would recommend that you stay away from this one. I'm sure that there are better movies by Troma out there, so you might want to try their most famous one, The Toxic Avenger. | |
| This film must die! | |
| Awful movie produced by Troma Films (thats redundant!) that doesn't even qualify for "so bad its good" status. The plot is set in the future where nazis who like to surf (Surf Nazis) rule the beaches and terrorize and sometimes kill anyone who gets in their way. One day, when a man named Leeroy goes to the beach, he stops a nazi from mugging an old lady. The surf nazis retaliate by killing Leeroy and then cooking & eating him over a camp fire. I guess in the apocalyptic future...there's no McDonalds to go to. Anyway...this time the nazis, led by a leader with a real original name...Adolf, killed the wrong guy because Leeroy's bible toting mother,"Mama" Washington, turns into a gun toting mother bent on bloodthirsty revenge against the entire legion of surf nazis (theres about 5 or 6). This movie stinks...its boring, unfunny, and intercut with good surfing footage, but who cares? The best part is the climax where Mama kills off the nazis (you can pretend she kills them because they can't act and the movie needs to end!), but even the gore and violence is pathetic. Also, the 80s synthesizer music makes a nauseating soundtrack, but it's appropriate. I laughed once, when Mama runs over the female nazi with her speed boat and knocks her head off. Troma films has better work in their catalog...and thats saying something. Skip this one unless you are utterly desperate or happen to like films about Surfing and Nazis. I think this and Point Break are the only two films that include both. |
