Those wacky young kids are at it again! Rolling up to the beach in some
ROAD WARRIOR
hippie bus, the kids are surprised to discover, that camped out right next to
them is the world famous rock star (and Austin Powers impersonator) Potato
Bug! He sings a song and this gets all of the girl's pussies so wet
that they start passing out. Off to the side, poor Frankie is
still trying to get some poontang off of Annette, but it ain't
happening. To add insult to injury, when Annette's not busy rejecting
Frankie...she's making goo-goo eyes at Potato Bug! That's just
terrible. Naturally, to settle things, Frankie challenges Potato Bug to a
drag race using actual drag race cars on a real track. Don't even ask how
that's even possible. And while you're
not asking about that, also
don't ask about the rich old dude who's trained a chimpanzee to surf,
dance and drive...all in the hopes of making the surfers look stupid. The
chimpanzee also has a cool-looking hawk that hangs out with him.
BIKINI BEACH is a fun installment in the Beach series. The story is
light-hearted, tons of hot chicks in skimpy bikinis, Jody McCrea as Deadhead,
Boris Karloff cameo, corny humor, Eric Von Zipper is back(!!!), Don Rickles
trying to be funny, a number of good songs (my favorite was "Gotcha Where I
Wantcha" by The Exciters Band...that was a damn good song!), impressive duel
role performance by Frankie Avalon, a Timothy Carey sighting and Candy Johnson
dancing again during the ending credits.
If you've already watched the first two Beach movies then you know exactly what
you're getting into. Recommended.
