Surf Nazis Must Die

Probably one of the greatest titles ever. However, you spend the entire movie waiting for some surf nazis to die and by the time it happens it's not funny or campy in the slightest, and then the movie ends. Apparently lots of long slow-motion shots of people surfing was more important to the filmmakers than actually delivering on what they promised.

One of the most kick-ass movies of the trash genre! The score alone on this movie is electrifying, it's packed with tension and would befit any horror classic. The shoot also benefited from California's glorious light quality which pervades every frame. The story is as thin as you might expect but the writers at least conjured up a creative dystopian scenario and some colourful characters to inhabit it. The comedic angle is exploited to good effect. "Taste some of Momma's home cooking, Adolf!"

You know, with that name, you wouldn't think this movie *could* be boring. ...and you'd be wrong.

How can you not love a movie with this title. Well, the fact that it's basicly trash helps. But damn it, if this movie doesn't have bucketloads of charm and baskets worth of balls. "Dear Adolf. There's some gnarly shit headed your way."

With a great title like "Surf Nazis Must Die," a film had better kick all sorts of ass. This is actually pretty boring.

Well, the title is much more fun than the movie itself.

THIS... MOVIE... IS... BORING!

The difference between genuinely atrocious movies and those with camp appeal is that camp films know they're bad. The fact that this movie is so terrifyingly bad and also comes off like the director thinks he's Tarantino is almost beyond belief. This movie is so bad it goes back around to good, then back around again to bad again.

I don't think I have ever seen a film that takes so long to get to the point. It is a revenge film but the revenge doesn't happen until more than half way into the film. The revenge is pretty good. The rest is crap.

Is it good bad trash? So bad it is actually good? Did I watch this while drinking? Was I taken in by wonderfully cheesy one liners, the actually fantastic score, and the eclectic gangs? Yeah. This could only have existed at the apex of 1980s low budget garbage cinema.

Damn I thought I was gonna like this one a lot more but this ended up being one of the most boring movies I've ever watched. With a title like "Surf Nazis Must Die" I was hooked, well that was pretty much it for this one. I feel like this is also pretty anti-climactic. I love myself from some shlock but this shit puts me to sleep.

yawn

Synth? Nazis? Must buy! Definitely the best synth soaked Troma/exploitation/revenge/surf film featuring a van with a dorsal fin and a vengeful granny riding a Harley that I’ve ever seen. “Taste some of mama’s home cookin’ Adolf!”

This isn't so bad it's good. This is so bad, it's garbage.

Maybe for five minutes I'm interested and thinking this movie has potential...but once it gets going, there's almost nothing redeeming about it.

It is by far the worst movie I have ever seen. It is also probably the worst movie that has been made. And that will be made, ever. Actually, it is so utterly bad, that if you try to think of any scene from the movie, the mere process of visualizing it in your head makes the scene better that it is. There are no two moments in this movie where one would be even slightly better than the other. I mean it. You can't make such bad movies. Shooting random scenes will look better. Respect.

No argument there, but must they first spend an interminable hour surfing?

Shot well and has a great soundtrack. One of the better Troma acquisitions. Of course, it doesn't live up to that phenomenal poster.

A disappointment, terribly boring.

How do you rate a movie such as this, which is in the so-bad-it's-good category? (although perhaps intentionally so) Good for dumb late night fun, '80s style, and some good laughs.

so boring

The title and the poster promise a lot but it's mostly very disappointing. The last fifteen minutes save a lot though.

Pretty big piece of crap. Stay away from it, don't let the title deceive you.

Holy shit. This film is probably the film equivolent of the Holocaust, except with a lot more stock footage of water. The novelty of the title is the only reason it gets anything higher than a negative score.
