i remember go into a little cinema in texas to see this film and i wasn not expect much . what i saw be a dead on parody of life in the 80 . this be one of the great film of the 80 . there be a great tribute to this film in the simpson if you notice homer always drink buzz cola at the nuclear plant . surf ii have a strange intensity that be lack in most film of today and too bad it not available on video or dvd . i highly recommend you track this one down and it will be well worth it .
