A Guilty Pleasure!
In the near future, a Californian beach has been taken over by a ruthless gang called "The Surf Nazis" whom are modern day neo-nazis and their leader nicknamed Adolph who literally can surf and would hurt anyone who enters their territory or gets in their way. When an African-American fellow named Leroy gets murdered by them, his mother sets off to buy weapons as she plots to take revenge for her son's death.
Silly and entertaining Sci-fi action comedy romp from Troma which is not as bad as some people say! what can you expect from the studios? yes there is bad acting and cheesy special effects but there's some nice action sequences, nudity and violence abound, if you can suspend your disbelief then you'll enjoy this movie like any B-movie or Troma flicks.
This DVD has good picture and sound quality as the movie is the unrated director's cut with scenes cut out when it came out to theaters back in 1987 and has goodies like an introduction by Troma's founder Lloyd Kaufman, a interactive tour of the Troma studios building, the original Theatrical trailer and other Tromatic trailers, Troma Intelligence Test, interviews, deleted scenes, and more.

People Who Made It Must Die
I garentee if this movie wasnt under the Troma team name, it wouldnt be known of at all. Only a die-hard Troma fan who cant bring themselves to say something negative in a reveiw about Troma would praise this movie.
This movie is neither smart nor intelegent in bringing the Natzi idea to beach gangs. Giving them a natzi symbol and calling the head cheese Adolf was about as far as cliche goes... it needed to go in another direction other then leave you wondering if a surfer who is obssessed with Natzi's and Hitler wrote this script to combine a fantasey of his or something?
THe movie IMO could have worked if it was a comedy... instead it's a badly acted stupid movie that takes itself too serisly at points. The whole thing should have been a full on comedy, not just bits and peices where if you blink you'll miss the 2 jokes in the entire film. And the mad momma needed a bigger role other then what she had. It focused too much on the wrong thing and it didnt look like they quite knew who the lead charactor should have been.
Surf Natzi's Must Be Boycotted From All Rental Stores, 'cause, hell, you dont wanna buy it!
Only the obsessed Troma fan will find 3 seconds of footage they like and focus on that as a praise then to look at the rest of the film and not see that 2 or 3 jokes based around the rest of the movie does not make it a comedy. It's art house trash.
