Surf II is a 1984 American comedy film written and directed by Randall M. Badat and starring Eddie Deezen, Linda Kerridge, Eric Stoltz and Jeffrey Rogers. The plot follows two dim-witted surfers attempting to thwart the plans of a mad scientist attempting to rid the beaches of surfers by turning them into zombie punks through chemically altered soda pop.
A parody of 1960s-style beach party films, Surf II mixes elements of the science fiction, horror, surf and sex comedy genres, featuring a prominent soundtrack comprising both classic surf music and contemporary new wave.[2] Although the film was received negatively by critics upon release, it has since been positively reappraised in cult film circles. In 2021, Vinegar Syndrome released a 2k restoration of the film on Blu-ray.
Despite the title's implication, Surf II is not a sequel and there was never a Surf I. The film was marketed with a number of subheadings, the most common of which was the tongue-in-cheek Surf II: The End of the Trilogy.[3]
