we saw this on hbo back in 1984 and as high school junior and one night while high on acid . it blow our mind . i tap it ( in crappy 6 hour vhs mode ) and still have that copy . i must have see this thing about a hundred time . evil nerd genius menlo schwartzer be out to get revenge upon the handsome buff surfer boys . he dwell in a crazy sci fi laboratory beneath the wave out at the surfer beach . late at night and pot smoking surfer boys get suck down and and be force fed buzz cola and turn them into punk rock surf zombie . turn out buzz cola be make out of toxic sludge and but have addictive quality . two of the surfer boy father manufacture the stuff and and sell it wholesale to menlo and can you relate . there a great scene when one of the kid drink it and and go nut slam dance around his bedroom to thrash music and nobody can get him under control . there a hot young love interest and who be once really ugly and nerdy and but menlo transform her into a blond bombshell . she like the surfer boys because theyre cute and but menlo force her to act a a lure and part of his insidious plot for revenge . you find out why menlo seek revenge at the end of the film and and that a very funny plot twist . this movie make fun of school and surfer and punk and parent and and the 1980s in general . my favorite part be the buzz cola advertising jingle and which you hear at the very begin before the film actually start . that song ditty be actually more stupid and obnoxious than the whole rest of the movie put together .
