Surf 2 is a sequel to a movie that doesn't exist, and was written by Randall Badat in three days while he was high on painkillers. That explains a lot.

Bob and Chuck

Something strange is happening in a Californian beach town, as surfers are being attacked by some sort of underwater machine. The police close the beach for safety, which bums out two surfer dudes Chuck and Bob, as well the rest of the high school students that want to party at the beach. Hopefully, the cops (Chief Boyardie and Inspector Underpants) can solve the crime soon, so that the upcoming surf competition doesn't get delayed.

Oh boy, the jokes are coming fast and loose here. This is one dumb parody, but the movie delivers its low brow comedy without apologies and after ten minutes I was already in love! The energy is also great, with rockin' tunes and plenty off wacky antics to help the story along.

Menlo

More surfers get attacked, but this time we get to see what the deal is. Menlo Schwartzer is a mad scientist nerd, abducting surfers to his underwater laboratory, where he proceeds to fry their brains with tainted Buzzz Cola. When Menlo sets them free they are mindless zombies, addicted to eating garbage and, well, basically anything they can get their hands on... The movie has officially gone bonkers.
Bob and Chuck's fathers own the Buzzz Cola company, and it seems like they have made a twisted deal with Menlo to add some toxic ingredients into their cola. It's no wonder that only the zombies can handle drinking the stuff.

Menlo's rivalry with the surfers heats up, as his zombified punk slaves are messing up the beach parties. With the help of their science teacher, Bob and Chuck try to figure out who's been brainwashing their friends before the surf competition is cancelled permanently.

"Punks and creeps. You think these guys would be mature enough to take surfing seriously." - Bob

There is a story to follow, but it's surrounded by a hurricane of weirdness that I barely described here. At times I had no idea what was going on, but I was loving it anyways! The movie started making me feel a bit crazy, or maybe it was inducing an acid flashback. It's a sloppy trash comedy overflowing with chaos that needs to be seen to be believed.

The dads

Be sure not to miss:
- Lots of familiar faces in the supporting cast, like Lyle Waggoner and Ron Palillo, and even Terry Kiser.
- Jimmy Hoffa's underwear, a Dick Dale record, and a reference to Jaws are just some of the things found inside the zombie's stomach.
- Jacko sure likes celery.

Internet review:
"Missing this movie would be like beating yourself in the face with a brick." - Scarecrow
and
"It's not often that a movies makes me as sick to my stomach as Surf II." - GRother

Should I watch it?
Yes!

Where can I find it?
You have to actually download it (like it's still 2003) here in two parts, and it takes about 24 hours. And it's a mkv file, so you need a player that supports the format.
