Director's Cut

  • Commentary #1 features director Randall Badat.
  • Commentary #2 features actor Eddie Deezen.
  • "The Stupidest Movie Ever Made: Drinking the Drink of 'Surf II'" (65:48, HD) making-of for the film, featuring interviews with producer George G. Braunstein, director Randall Badat, first assistant director D. Scott Easton, composer Peter Bernstein, costume designer Carin Berger, casting director Fern Champion, and actors Eddie Deezen, Linda Kerridge (audio only), Joshua Cadman, and Peter Isacksen. Script development commences the production journey, with Badat working through a real surf injury to complete "Surf Death: The Movie," which was imagined as "Frankie and Annette go to Hell." Helping to sell the effort was a promise to find a girl on a surfboard for the poster, while nudity was added along the way. Casting choices are highlighted, with Deezen requiring cue cards to complete his scenes, and Stoltz remained a method actor during the frantic shoot. Costuming is detailed, including punk wetsuits, and the shoot is remembered, as the cast enjoyed pleasant camaraderie. Scene challenges are identified, finding real sharks in the waters. Scoring cues and soundtrack selections are identified. The official release of "Surf II" was complicated by studio rejection and title woes, but cult longevity is emphasized, with the feature managing to develop its audience over the decades, including a celebratory 25th anniversary screening at the New Beverly Cinema in 2008.
  • Still Gallery (1:14) collects BTS snaps.
  • "Original Sizzle Reel" (21:26, SD) offers early sales potential for "Surf II."

  • Commentary #1 features director Randall Badat.
  • Commentary #2 features Zack Carlson and Brian Connley.
