646f9e108c When the son of a gun-wielding woman is murdered by neo-Nazi surf punks in the post-apocalyptic future, his Mama hunts them down for some bloodthirsty revenge. It's because of films like these, which serve as the reason why Troma rules. OK. So Troma's got some stinkers out there after 30+ yrs of experience, but not many. They are, by far, the best low budget schlock makers in the world! The only ones who can hold a candle to them might be say Full Moon & Roger Corman. If ya like Troma's stuff, then check them out too.<br/><br/>But one thing: where were the sharks in this one? I would've loved to see one of those surf Nazis or various other chomped by a shark. And while although it's been a while since I've seen this, I don't recall even seeing a fin's tip.<br/><br/>The scene where the "n" word was used just conjures up memories of my own personal experiences as a boy nicely. Of course I didn't murder anybody and brag about it in the wide open in front of two girls before. What a jackass! <br/><br/>In nearly 30 years, now *damn where did the time go?* there unfortunately hasn't been a sequel to its name. And I would love to see one more ridiculously good time w/ the surf Nazis. At least this film, along w/ most other troma films, doesn't take itself near as seriously as the blockbusters who just come off as stupid.<br/><br/>And yes, if you will read my review carefully, I'm pretty much agreeing w/ another commenter who also called it, "ridiculously good." That much it is. I gave this a 7, which is the highest I gave a movie of its kind so far. 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…).<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.
