Great Film overall

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

A typical offering from the Troma stable, this isn't actually one of the films they made themselves (so is free of their typical brand of humour for the most part) but is just a low-budget amateurish effort that they distributed instead. I'm happy to say that it's a lot better than CHOPPER CHICKS IN ZOMBIETOWN (and let's face it, what isn't?). Sadly, this does not make it a good film, and it's not for the usual reasons: the poor acting, the bad sound which makes it near impossible to hear anything anybody is saying, the cheap and laughable special effects (in which tomato soup substitutes for blood), and the incredible lack of plot in the film. I mean, it could have become a good action flick with the right script and direction, but for 90% of this film nothing happens of any note! Just endless scenes of people talking, fighting, and having sex, occasionally interspersed with lots of padded scenes of people surfing! This makes it a very boring film.There are a couple of things in this film's favour. Firstly, the character of the mother avenger is a good, fun concept and it's fun to watch her kick backside. Secondly, although the mild gore is unrealistic, it's gore nonetheless, so at least that's something. And thirdly, there's a hilarious guy who calls himself Adolf who tries to be scary but just comes across as a greasy pervert. Cult movie fans will no doubt spot Bobbie Bresee in a cameo as one of the gang's mother, but her role is pretty pointless. They'll no doubt be disappointed that she doesn't take her clothes off either (as is her usual method of acting). Also watch out for the fake severed head at the end of the film in one of the few highlights (speedboat runs over a surfer!). Otherwise, give this forgettable movie a miss like with most Troma releases.

Yep, this is a movie that actually exists. All of Troma's movies are available online and this makes "The Toxic Avenger" look like, no "Citizen Kane" isn't good enough. I'd say the "Breaking Bad" episode "Ozymandias". I first came across this looking at Wikipedia's unusual articles. I guess there were just a lot of these around the 1985-1987 period. This summary is the exact quote from Wikipedia's description. I just had to use that. Don't sue me, Wikipedia! I remember going over to RottenTomatoes and believing that this had the lowest rating of anything on the entire website with a 1.8 (not the percentage). "Manos: The Hands Of Fate" is still lower (with 1.1) but this is still a truly awful movie.With the title, it's just as ludicrous as you would expect. I saw a short film on YouTube called "Kung Fury" about Hitler time traveling and recruiting Nazi dinosaurs. That film was more believable than this one. This wasn't even good for laughs. For characters with the title "Surf Nazis" they barely even surfed. They mostly just stayed on their motorcycles. Was "Biker Nazis Must Die" too strange of a title? I heard that Roger Ebert saw this movie and walked out thirty minutes in. I guess it's not quite in my Top 5 worst, but definitely Top 10. The movie features surf Nazis and that's about it. What's amazing is how horribly acted the film is. These actors seem to be messing up their lines all the time.The action scenes are horrendous. When they're fighting on the beach, it's hard to tell if they're even actively fighting. It looks more like they're just tripping over each other. We saw a lot of footage of people surfing. What does this mean? The movie literally starts by showing a bunch of Neo-Nazi children. That's more stupid than it is insensitive. What happens to these kids? What is their purpose? There's another scene where people are yelling in the background. Why? Why is everything in this film shot so badly? I'm kind of reminded of an even worse film (which was ALSO on the unusual articles list) called "An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn!". From what I've seen of "The Day The Clown Cried" it couldn't be worse than this. Stick with the more intelligent Nazi films. There is one good thing about the film and that's that it goes by really fast. That was a plus! Someone thought this was entertaining? 1/2*

If you don't like this film, it is because you don't really understand. Go pay your seven or fifteen bucks and plop down at the local cinemark, because if you don't stuff like this, it just isn't for you.But if you can take a joke, then the thing is interesting. I haven't seen a bunch of Troma's catalogue, but I think it is one of the more memorable flicks there; it certainly isn't Tromeo and Juliet or Terror Firmer, but I don't understand the claim that it isn't a typical Troma film. At least it wasn't something like "Outlaw Prophet" (which put Troma on a blacklist with my wife). It was a genuine trash film, and taken as such seems as good as any other work of trash.What makes this movie good is the fact that the kids have all given themselves new names, a fact that comes up when Smeg is talking to his mom (who claims he shouldn't call her mom). That is just choice.Or the fact that the Nazis are all queens in hiding. I like the not so subtle homo-eroticism.Of course, not only could both of these elements been mobilized more effectively, but there are other things it could have hit on. The apocalyptic oil pumping could have been used better, along with placing Leroy as part of the energy company pumping the beach dry. I was hoping that the fact that there is a big disjunction between the bourgeoisie expectations of Leroy and the ludicrous turf wars of the surf gangs could have been put to better use.So to all you people who didn't like this because of the film making-- you are just wrong. This is what good ol' not so Hollywood film looks like. Like all real films, it's flaws are that it doesn't exploit everything that it could.

I've been a fan of the IMDb for a really long time now. Probably about 6 years. And I've found that its site is loaded with tons of informative, interesting, and credible content. Until I saw the page for Surf Nazis Must Die. Granted, the IMDb itself doesn't do these reviews; the users do. But for this film to be on the IMDb bottom 100 is quite telling. This film is hands down and without any question a masterpiece. Anyone that fails to see that just flat-out does not understand film.This isn't a "so bad it's good" film. This is straight-up an amazing film, filled with awesome cinematography, great action, and some straight-up weirdness that propels the story along. The story itself is very simple: nazi gang wants to own the beaches, they fight gangs, and a black woman gets her revenge on them. VERY simple. A less talented director would've wrapped up the whole story in 30 minutes or filled it the brim with boring filler. However, what the talented Peter George does is tell the story in a very slow and deliberate fashion. Instead of focusing on intense action sequences for the whole film, the movie slowly builds to them. He usually packs the events up until then with surf nazi propaganda and shots of surfing (surfing from the actual actors; this is not stock footage!). And believe it or not, it's all hugely entertaining. He fills the film with very little dialogue, so what is there leaves a huge impression on the audience.It's a difficult film to understand completely, especially as I'm not a surfer. Mr. George took a very simple concept and decided to play it up like it's this amazing event: surfers who actually would kill over their beaches. The acting is very underrated, and there actually is very little comedy, deliberate or otherwise, here. The only real comedy is the fat black woman who is the "hero" of the film; she is so ridiculous yet I am guessing this is some kind of social satire (a fat black woman going after "Adolf", leader of the Nazis, who said that skinny blonde-haired blue-eyed men were the "master race"). The film is beautifully-shot with tons of footage of the skies and the beaches, and the pacing is very good. Not too much action, not too much mindless chatter. Another good point is the music. The score really fits the film.This is a straight-up good film. My girlfriend, who typically dislikes B-Movies, even thought this film was gorgeous and awesome. In a lot of ways, this reminds me of Six String Samurai: a very simple (and kind of ridiculous) story told through the use of overacting, vibrant colors, gorgeous cinematography, amazing editing/directing, and lots of good music. Absolutely an art film and a well-made one at that. Anyone that dislikes this film just flat-out doesn't understand what makes movies great.
