Surf Nazis Must Die (1987)
Quite possibly the worst (best?) film I have seen thus far.
I mean, wow, this is bad. This is about a bunch of rival gangs vying for
control of the beach now that the police are off the scene due to a
massive earthquake or some shit. I don't really know where to begin.
Honestly. I need a moment... Shocking acting on all fronts, except Dawn
Wildsmith as Eva, who is probably the most enigmatic member of the Nazi
gang.
Even by Troma standards this is a struggle to get through. Not even the
sparingly used violence and "a bit of tit" can really save it. I only
made it through by multitasking; splitting my limited time on this earth
between this movie and the Ratebeer website (what a life). Things lull
for a while and get exciting, and then lull for another long while and
pick up at the end. The last 15/20 minutes are top entertainment, though
- watching the Mamma hunt down the Surf Nazis one by one, where the
other beach gangs failed. Eva gets cut in half by a speedboat, which is
easily the most impressive part of the whole film. The film also scores
extra points for its synthesizer soundtrack, which is pretty fuckin'
cool.
Finally, the Mengele character looks suspiciously like Rik Mayall. Just
saying. - 01/03/2018
