I've rented that movie back in the 80s, surely being animated by the hype around TROMA and the title which striked me as utter hilarious (I'm still imaging Adolf on a surfboard whenever I think of the title...).
Maybe it's my own weirdness which allows me to find that flick entertaining, at least to a certain extent. Okay, the acting is lousy, the score is causing massive diarrhea, the amount of senseless sex and violence is poor for this movie and a company which had definitely set some new standards within this genre (the reason why I had given only 6/10)...but it's the plot which is making up for some of the aforementioned lacks.
Come on..."Surf Nazis"? I won't deny that even the one or another surfer doesn't only hang on to the waves but also to right-extremist positions; but if you're taking a movie coming from TROMA serious, you've already lost. It's not even meant as a parody on Neofaschism. It's just 80 minutes of - absolutely enjoyable - trash. No more and no less, the only real disappointment is the musical score which is just abysmally bad.
If the title disturbs you, change it to "Surf Rednecks Must Die", "Surf Chevy-drivers Must Die", "Surf Icecream-lickers Must Die"...it's up to your imagination. Otherwise, grab whatever you need to get in the right mood for entertainment of the special no-think kind.
