Surf Nazis Must Die

With a title like this, Surf Nazis Must Die had to be brilliant, hilarious and very low-taste. Boy was I wrong. This was just plain boring. No other word but boring. Almost NOTHING (I mean nothing) happened in the first half hour. All it included was some scenes of surfing and random conversations (some of which were mildly amusing). There is VERY little gore in this, which was extremely disappointing. Of course, many say that this is a "so bad it's good" movie or "if you don't like this movie, you are to serious." Well, I think this is a "so bad that it is downright appalling" movie. Troma really let themselves down with this one. If you want a good Troma movie, I suggest The Toxic Avenger or Tromeo and Juliet. ½/5.

I think most people hate Surf Nazis Must Die because of the whole Troma label. This is more of an interesting experimental feature closer to "The Bedsitting Room" than Mad Max. It's very well shot and the synth 80's music is interesting for a film of this type. This film should have been marketed to the Art House Crowd. It's a slow moving odd and unique film. It's a shame it fell into the hands of Troma.

Bad acting, writing, and directing sinks this garbage from Troma about a group of fascist punks who have taken over a beach. One by one, they are picked off by a vengeful black woman (Gail Neely) whom she holds responsible for her son's death. My evaluation: (no stars).

Although the title, combined with the Troma label, will make most people go into this film with low expectations, I feel the need to say that "Surf Nazi's Must Die" is definitely worth seeing. A lot of the acting is sub-par, sure, and the writing isn't exactly fantastic, but it manages to be very entertaining throughout; the soundtrack, in particular, is fantastic. Certain scenes nicely incorporate off-key humor, yet the filmmakers didn't intend to make a comedy; in fact, they take themselves rather seriously, a decision which I'm sure is one of the reasons this film is so maligned. It seems like those involved in the making of this film were enjoying what they were doing, for the most part, and I think they made a well-paced, consistently interesting B-movie. Well worth seeing.

This film unashamedly attempts to replicate Kubrick's 'A clockwork Orange' and is also similar to other youth gang movies such as 'Romper Stomper' and 'Suburbia' The issues of radical politics, racism, disillusioned youth, vengeance and gang violence are all addressed, but there is nothing original about this film. There is excellent cinematography and an interesting synth score which seems appropriate. The story focuses around a the 'surf Nazis' the dominant surfer gang in California, they kill a young African American, but things go wrong for the gang when the victim's Mother seeks a bloody revenge. The story is simple and the acting pretty abysmal, but if you're a fan of the amateur charm of Troma movies then this probably won't bother you, as long as you accept there are a lot less laughs and a lot less tits than other Troma classics such as 'Class of Nuke 'em High'

When the grandson of a gun wielding woman is murdered by neo-nazi surf punks in the post-apocalyptic future, this grandma hunts them down for some bloodthirsty revenge. There is not really all that much surfing, at least not with the Nazis. Seems like mostly stock footage. I wanted to see gun battles on the water, but maybe I forgot that Troma could not afford such awesome things. The movie could just as easily been called "Beach Nazis". What I like about this movie is that it makes no attempt to provide social commentary. It does not have a serious view of racism, or of white supremacist groups, or even of children leaving their families for gangs. It just has an angry woman trying to get revenge. Thanks, Troma, for just making a quick, fun, silly film and avoiding any attempt at depth.

When I first heard about this movie, I thought it would be the greatest movie ever made. First of all, it's called Surf Nazis Must Die. Second of all, it's about an old fat black lady seeking revenge against a gang called the surf Nazis who killed her son. Third of all, it was released by Troma. It seems nearly impossible for somebody to screw this movie up, but they did. It was just one big boring scene after another and Momma Washington didn't do too much fighting with the surf Nazis. Somebody with talent needs to remake this would be tromasterpiece. This would be the end of my review but I need at least 10 lines. I don't understand why they think you can only describe a movie in 10 or more lines. And I have seen reviews that have been far less the 10 lines. How did they do that?
