Surfing is the only thing to do for high school students Chuck and Bob who are in preparation for the big surf competition. However, their fathers, sales reps for a new soda named Buzzz Cola, disapprove of surfing as a whole. Everything is going swell until the area’s surfing population start getting kidnapped by Menlo, a vengeful nerd turned mad scientist, with a particular vengeance aimed at surfers. Using Buzzz Cola, Menlo has begun turning surfers into brain dead zombies, with the aid of his assistant, Sparkle. Can Chuck and Bob thwart his evil master plan in time to save the surfing competition?
A completely wild and thoroughly unhinged comedy that manages to integrate slapstick humor, surreal sight gags, horror and sci-fi elements, T&A, as well as having possibly served as an influence to the most famous animated TV series in history, Randall Badat’s one of a kind and completely bonkers gem, SURF II (The End of a Trilogy) stars Eddie Deezen (Grease, War Games), Lyle Waggoner (TV’s Wonder Woman), Linda Kerridge (Fade to Black), Terry Kiser (Tammy & the T-Rex), and Eric Stoltz (Back to the Future, Pulp Fiction), in one of his earliest roles. Never released on disc, Vinegar Syndrome brings SURF II to Blu-ray, newly restored from long lost 35mm elements and presented both in its commonly seen theatrical version as well as in its unreleased and radically different original director’s cut.

"Decent summer comedy, restoration is great and I love the original slipcover"
"This was a rough watch for me, as the humor never quite landed enough to justify a rewatch or recommendation. That said, Vinegar Syndrome went all‑in with an impressively exhaustive set of special features, and the film itself looks and sounds excellent. While it wasn’t my thing, fans of the movie are absolutely in for a treat."
"I just couldn't get into this one. The actors are mediocre, the story is too stretched to be funny. The presentation from VS is great, but the movie itself is just boring."
"Where’s surf 1"
"Great film, excellent packaging!"
"Loved this one! Been wanting to see this one for a while. Great transfer and excellent packaging and art. Love the alternate slip cover for this. The film/plot reminds me of something out of the Troma universe. Definite recommend for those who enjoy surfing, zombies and . toxic waste eating contests."
"The movies all radical dudes it has a nice soundtrack you'll recognize and starts a little slow but it picks up some waves I'll leave it at that"
"The End of the Trilogy. . . what a ride. Not sure if I'm in the minority, but I actually think the Variant slip looks better & more fun than the Original slip's artwork!"
"I really enjoyed Surf II. The film is really funny with some great gags. The best way to describe this film is as a strange mix of Troma and the ZAZ comedies. Listening to both versions was a real pleasure. In terms of extras, the documentary/making-of is a good addition to understanding the film's reception and how it acquired its cult status. I recommend purchasing this for those who want a good zany/absurd comedy."
"Ridiculous movie, tons of fun, good extras. This is a treasure of an 80s movie, Never watch it sober."
