Midnite Movies boxed up.......2007-05-26
These are the 4 Midnite Movie Double Features of AIP Beach Party films that were released a few years back. I enjoy being able to sit back and watch the surf nonsense. Eric Von Zipper is king. Shame they don't run these as afternoon flicks in the summer on WLVI in Boston. Also a shame they didn't create a double feature of Pajama Party and Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine.
The only question is if MGM ever fixed How to Stuff a Wild Bikini. The orignal release claimed it was an anamophic version of the Scope transfer, but it turned out to be the pan and scan.
Annette!!!.......2007-04-26
What can I say. I had a big crush on Annette growing up. I will definitely want this collection. Annette in a bikini!! Enough said.

'Beach Party / Bikini Beach' (MGM) Running time - each film: 100 minutes.......2007-06-11
Two back-to-back early '60's family beach movies, that I personally thought holds the harsh test of time. Meaning of course they're still fun to watch. First, there's 1963's 'Beach Party' where professor Bob Cummings studies the 'mating ritual' of teenagers. I liked the one scene where teen icon Frankie Avalon croons to "Don't Stop Now" surrounded by several hotties, with {to my suprise, the house band turns out to be surf rock pioneer Dick Dale}. A somewhat humorous movie, specially with gangster wanna-be Eric Von Zipper (Harvey Lembeck), actually this clown was my favorite character in the entire flick. Avalon and Annette Funcello are needless to say great in these two classics. Then, there's 1964's 'Bikini Beach' where Frankie plays duo roles. Wait! Is that young Stevie Wonder making a guest appearance here? A bit dated, but still wroth checking out.
Beach Party/Bikini Beach.......2007-03-06
40 years late it was a fantastic experience te watch these films. Da Cat stands out of the other on Beach Party.Along with Gidget these films were decisive for the updating of the Azorean surf culture. Bikini Beach supplied us information on skateboarding and wake (locally named JET) surfing. They are part of the beach culture of the 60s.
still the "happening place to be".......2006-06-27
rememberwhen teen movies ment the beach bikini's and song instead of sex and grim killing or gross jokes. this double blast from the past is just as much fun now as they were when i was a kid watching these on t.v. and my boys even like them! kick back and watch frankie and annette surf the curel and sing and dance but not do anything dirty. a great family double feature! check them out!!!!!!!!
THIS MOVIE HELPED ME KEEP MY SANITY IN VIETNAM.......2006-06-02
THIS DOPEY BUT FUN MOVIE FOR BABY BOOMERS HELPED KEEP ME SMILEING AND LAUGH A LITTLE ALL THOSE YEARS AGO, WHILE I SERVED IN VIETNAM. ITS FUN TO WATCH THESE VINTAGE MOVIES TO SEE HOW SIMPLE LIFE WAS BACK THEN, AND HOW YOUNG PEOPLE NEW HOW TO HAVE FUN COMPARED TO TODAY, DO YOU AGREE???
Fun Lighthearted Romps.......2006-05-29
First on the bill is the one that started the whole damn thing, Beach Party. Frankie and Annette go out to a house on the beach for vacation. Frankie is excited coz he gets Annette ALONE to do with what he pleases. This isn't the case coz Annette gets freaked out by the idea of being alone with Frankie Avalon and invites a buttload of people. You see, Annette is saving herself for marriage(what a drag, huh?). Frankie's pissed at the change of events but shifts into party mode anyhow and surfs and boogies the night away with his buddies. Surf guitar king Dick Dale is along for the ride providing a few songs. All in all he's not given much to do but wear big pirate earrings and lip synch a few tunes. He spends an awful lot of time on the bongos. Soon the jealousy game begins. Frankie hooks up with a busty blond hungarian in an attempt to get Annette jealous and...horny I guess. Also renting a house on the beach is an anthropology professor who is studying the behaviors of the teenage surf culture(he's gonna write a book comparing them to African tribes). He's also able to put people in a state of suspended animation. He befriends Annette and wants to use her to get the info he needs to talk the talk and walk the walk on the California beach. Annette may have been saving herself for marriage, but she practically gives this professor carte blanche to study her in every way possible just five minutes after meeting him!! The professor is a moral man, and continues to avoid her advances. In fact he's given so many opportunities, you might find yourself yelling at the screen after awhile, telling this schmuck to just go for it. Of course we also get the debut of Frankie's arch-nemesis, Eric Von Zipper. Von Zipper is the leader of a biker gang called The Rats and Mice. He's the typical moron villain character that always says/does the dumbest thing, gets fooled, plan backfires, gets beat up, you name it. Kind of like a live action Yosemite Sam. The climax of the film gives us a Battle Royale between Von Zipper's gang and Frankie's beach buddies. In the end, everybody becomes friends, and they dance the night away. Cool cameo from Vincent Price too.
Bikini Beach ups the zaniness a bit, but if you enjoyed Beach Party, you'll like this coz the style's the same. Frankie and Annette are back at the beach for yet another romp. Annette's still not giving up the goods(not til she's married, remember?). Almost immediately Frankie pisses her off and it's straight back to breakup/make him jealous mode. This chick obviously has alot of issues to sort out, and Frankie should really consider kicking her ass to the curb at this point. But hey, the big lug is in love. Problems arise when a newspaper publisher(played by Keenan Wynn) starts writing articles about our beach buddies, calling them juvenile delinquents and trying to get them kicked off the beach.....PERMENENTLY! He travels everywhere with his pet chimpanzee(played flawlessly and dramatically by a guy in an ape suit) who also drives his Rolls Royce. The ape's name is Clyde(sound familiar?) and his purpose is to prove that what ever activities the Delinquents do, the ape can do as well, thus proving to the world that the surfing subculture live a lifestyle on the same level as an ape. Another obstacle for Frankie is a character called "Potato Bug". Bug is a very famous mod rocker and drag racing champion from Britain. This film was made around the time of the British invasion. The Beatles' popularity and influence, as we all know, would pretty much kill surf rock's popularity. Apparently the film makers didn't think too highly of this new music from across the pond, coz the character of Potato Bug is made as annoyingly and stereotypically British as you could possibly imagine. His accent, his laugh, his teeth, his lingo; I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if this guy wasn't an influence on Mike Myers when he created Austin Powers. Potato Bug is also played by Frankie Avalon, and very well I might add. Well naturally, this is the schmuck Annette goes for. Frankie can't take this hit to his ego and challenges Potato Bug to a drag race. Don Rickles shows up as a drag race announcer and gives Frankie a few pointers coz after all, Frankie's a surfer not a racer. Also on board to make things more interesting is none other than Eric Von Zipper. He certainly wants to throw a wrench in the plans. Cool cameos from surf greats, The Pyramids, Stevie Wonder(who must be about 12 here), and Boris Karloff.
Now, of all the films I like and watch, I get the most crap from family, friends and coworkers for liking these beach party movies. No kidding, they all put me through the wringer for these. Hey, I know they're corny, I wouldn't like them if they weren't. I just like the fantasy world they exist in. I love surf music, so that's up my alley(some of the original songs for the film are pretty bad). Who wouldn't want to live in a world where it's always sunny, there's always some chick that wants to sleep with you, no one has a job, but seemingly unlimited funds, everybody's having a good time, and aside from a clumsy schmuck like Eric Von Zipper and keeping your surfboard waxed, you have no problems and nothing to worry about. Yes, I'm here to tell the world that I do enjoy these films. It's an escapist fantasy like any other. Some folks may prefer Middle Earth, Tatooine or even Detroit. I like my Swingin' California Beach.

lots of flesh.......2007-01-10
I purchased the movie because of Melinda Armstrong. I was not disappointed Melinda is out of sight even though the movie is a stinker.
Steer clear.......2006-12-11
Put your money / credit card back in your wallet this instant!
Wow, this movie is terrible! I'm stunned by it's stupidity. I obviously wasn't looking for plot, or acting, or direction. The other reviews are misleading. The only worthwhile section (ONLY WORTHWIHLE) is Melissa Armstrong's pool scene.
They don't make them like this anymore.......2006-11-11
Sure, this is an awful movie, poor acting, thin plot, full of cliche's and poorly timed jokes, but it is a film of a genre that has really lost it's luster of the past 10 years. I remember this being one of the "UP ALL NIGHT" films on USA network as a teen. It was always 2 mintues of movie, then 5 minutes comercials to make it into the 2 hour time slot. Carefree nudity is present, and the sense of nastalgia makes this worth a watch through once, to laugh at how bad acting can be, and to remember the old days of softcore.
Bikini Summer.......2006-04-06
Whatever happened to the days when movies were chuck full of casual and carefree nudity? This totally brainless film is worth watching just for the memories of the good old days when casual non-erotic nudity was common place in films.
Actresses spent more on surgery than the studio on the DVD.......2004-07-30
The film is everything I remember from the VHS edition I saw in the early '90s. If you are a fan of this genre, you have probably seen this movie, and understand what made it special, namely, totally gratuitous nude scenes that last for minutes on end. It's often like an extended naked music video.
Lamentably, the DVD appears to have been mastered from a VHS copy, or something similar, because the picture is not nearly as clear or sharp as any standard mainstream DVD release. It's not unwatchable, but it is disappointingly dim. The three star rating is for the DVD, not the film, although, to be fair, if you were to judge this film on everything but the girls, it would be considered terrible.

Typical Crown International Picture.......2007-02-15
There are several movies from Crown Intl that have some of the same actors and also have the song "You're Gonna Find Love Someday".
They are "The Van", Malibu High", "Van Huys Blvd", "The Pom Pom Girls" and "Malibu Beach".
It's fun to go back in time to look at the fashions of the time, not to mention....they just don't make 'em like this anymore. (Thank goodness)
Still, lots of fun. If you like '70's airhead comedy, check out "The Cheerleaders"
"You punks gotta be kidding! I mean, you wanna mess with Dugan?!".......2005-10-14
Malibu Beach (1978)...this movie could have been called Van 2: Electric Boogaloo aka Van 2: Return of Dugan, as it shares a lot of similarities to the movie The Van (1977), which I watched the night before...both were released by Crown Pictures International "If it's Crown, You Can Bet it's Crap", both written by Celia Susan Cotelo and Robert J. Rosenthal (the latter also directing here), both featured a main protagonist character named Bobby (played by different actors), and both featured a main antagonistic character named Dugan, played by Stephen Oliver. Directed by Robert J. Rosenthal (Zapped!), the film stars Kim Lankford ("Knots Landing", The Octagon) and James `Greg Marmalard' Daughton, who would, in the same year, go on to appear in a little film know as Animal House (1978). Also appearing is Susan `She's a' Player (The Pom Pom Girls), Michael `Lex" Luther (The Verne Miller Story), Stephen Oliver (Werewolves on Wheels, Cycle Psycho, The Van), and Flora `I'm not Eve' Plumb, whose biggest claim to fame appears to be the fact she's the sister of Eve Plumb, also known as Jan Brady on TV's "The Brady Bunch".
As the movie begins a bell rings, and a throng of bell bottomed, feathered haired teenage types pour out of a high school. Apparently it's the beginning of summer break, and, if you live in Southern California aka SoCal, that means it's time to go to the beach, Malibu beach, that is (never mind the irregular shaped moles...what's a little melanoma in comparison to the perfect tan?)...Bobby (Daughton) makes the scene...hey, there's Dugan...seems he's traded in his boogie van for a set of dumbbells and a motorcycle, now spending his days working out in the sand and calling everyone a punk...and there's Dina (Lankford), the new lifeguard...uh oh Dina, better not let your supervisor catch you wearing a bikini on duty. Look at that...there's a dog trained to steal women's bikini tops...that's right, get up and chase after that dog so everyone can get a good look at your bazooms. Hey, there's Ms. Plickett (Plumb), a teacher from the high school, getting clumsily hit on by Dugan. He does manage to pick her up, only later to be shot down...didn't that coming...and so it goes. Later that night Bobby and his friend Paul (Luther) hook up with Dina and her friend Sally (Player). Bobby's getting plenty of action from Sally, but Paul's not doing so well with Dina (she's got the goo goo eyes for Bobby)...there's a bonfire, some weed, and about the biggest bottle of wine I've ever seen. Uh oh, here comes Dugan...seem Dugie's got the hots for Dina, and is itching to get into a beach blanket rumble with the boys. The film goes on like this, as there's some skinning dipping, white people dancing awkwardly, beach bonfires, girls in bikinis, Bobby hooks up with Dina, Paul runs afoul of some `vanners', drag racing in stolen cars, the beach mutt steals some more bikini tops, more bazooms, a nerdlinger throws a bash, hi-jinks galore, some making out, Dugan acting like an a-hole, and so on, finally culminating in a showdown (of sorts) between Bobby and Dugan.
In case it isn't obvious as to what one might be getting themselves into with this film, I'll detail a fairly common exchange from the movie. Bobby and Paul are cruising a strip, pull up next to Dina and Sally, and invite them to hang out, but Dina's hesitant...
Sally "Aw come on...I wanna go"
Dina "I don't know"
Sally "I want to if you want to"
Dina "Well, if you want to"
Sally "I want to"
About this time I was hoping, nay praying, for a flaming meteorite to descend from the merciful heavens and crush all those within the scene, but alas...the acting throughout the film is pretty much what you'd expect, but the actual story itself was lacking, even for a film like this...at least in The Van, there was a sense of continuous flows, but here, the story wanders around, often settling into a particular scene for way too long, causing an overall sense of drag. And I wouldn't have even minded, as perhaps this was indicative of the SoCal lifestyle of the times, laid back and feelin' groovy, but at least make things a little more interesting. There is some fun to be had here, both of the intentional and unintentional kind, along with a good deal of nekkidness, mostly of the topless variety. I didn't think Ms. Lankford would doff her clothing, as she seemed of the goody goody variety, but sure enough, she does make with the goods (a few times). As far as Daughton goes, it was interesting seeing him play a good guy, considering his next film, Animal House, would forever typecast him as the heavy. There was one really odd sequence near the beginning where Dugan's giving Ms. Plickett a ride home from the beach on his motorcycle accompanied by the Peter & Gordon song "I Go to Pieces", which actually gets used a few times throughout (Crown International certainly got their money's worth). I like the song, but it just felt so strange used the way it was in that scene. My favorite scene involved a bratty kid running around the beach being a pain in everyone's behind. At one point he runs up to Dina and tells her, "You got big t*ts for a lifeguard." He then proceeds to run out into the water and pretend like he's drowning. Dina swims out to save him, only to find out he doesn't need saving, but then he starts drowning for real, so she does rescue him. Once back on the beach, as a crowd gathers, she makes sure he's okay, leaves, and Dugan, who's got the hots for Dina, grabs the kid, shaking him violently, and threatens to break every bone in his body if he ever tries a stupid stunt like that again. You have to picture this, a gawky kid being physically manhandled by a hulking, tattooed, muscle head, who looks to be about in his mid 30s, in front of a throng of spectators. To Oliver's credit, he was convincing, as the kid really did looked scare out of his wits. The film does eventually end, suitably, and with one of the phoniest looking cinematic sharks I've ever seen.
The picture quality, presented in fullscreen, looks really decent on this Rhino DVD release, and the audio comes through well enough. There are no extras features on the disc. As another has stated, it does appear this version is missing some footage, as The Internet Movie Database lists a running time of 96 minutes, and this one ran about 93 minutes. What might be missing? I couldn't tell you. The one thing I really dislike about this release, a commonality to Rhino releases in general, is their usage of the cardboard and plastic snap cases, known as snapper cases. Warner Brothers used to utilize this really cheap form pf packaging, but even they've since gotten away from it due to customer complaints. I like the fact Rhino releases these forgettable films and charges accordingly, but I'd be willing to fork over the extra 50 cents for better packaging.

"It ain't nothin' without the stuffin'!" That's what all the groovy beach partyers say when a phantom bikini appears out of nowhere, and suddenly fills out its two-piece form with the voluptuous body of Cassandra (Beverly Adams), who soon has all the beach-hunks drooling. Along comes Madison Avenue adman "Peachy" Keane (Mickey Rooney) to recruit Cassandra for his "Girl Next Door" ad campaign, while his assistant Ricky (Dwayne Hickman) gets all googly-eyed for Dee Dee (Annette Funicello), who's not as easy as the other sand 'n' surf chickie-babies. And where's Frankie (Avalon)? He's on a tropical island with the navy reserve, sampling the comely native fauna and bribing the local medicine man Bwana (played by... Buster Keaton?!) with generous doses of alcoholic "torpedo juice" in return for a failsafe love potion. Oh, and did we mention the cross-country cycle race that will determine who's the fairest young couple in the land?
The sixth installment of the seemingly endless Beach Party series, How to Stuff a Wild Bikini is a minor step up from Gilligan's Island, but you've got to love a movie that includes a mischievous pelican, an appearance by the Kingsmen (of "Louie Louie" fame), and a half-dozen forgettable pop songs that virtually define the beach-party genre. Comedy purists may lament the downward spiral of Buster Keaton's career, but he's just having good, dumb fun like everyone else, and geographic distance doesn't stop Frankie and Annette from crooning a split-screen duet. And dig those clay-animated opening credits by Gumby creator Art Clokey! Let's face it, these movies are perfect time capsules of juvenile entertainment, and if you can't enjoy them in all their cheesy glory, you're nothin' but a square! --Jeff Shannon

This Makes Elvis Movies Look Good.......2006-03-20
What's amazing to me was how little actually went into these Beach Party movies. If you stacked them all up--and to answer the drill sergeant's question from FULL METAL JACKET, they CAN stack it pretty high--you'd see just how little effort went into these movies. The same costumes, the same recycled sound effects and wretched jokes, the same lame, mugging actors--they even reused the same stock footage of ocean sunsets for every movie.
They could have shot all the Beach Movies in about a week's time. Erich Von Zipper's scenes are identical in every single one of these movies.
"Paul Lynde doesn't want to play the Suit this time? How about Don Rickles? He said no, huh? Well, let's ask Mickey Rooney. He might even sing some dopey songs."
But the chicks are hot. That's all that's lasted: the chick's are hot.
Did anybody catch that North Dakota Pete was Uncle Leo from "Seinfeld"?
It sucks.......2006-01-10
Quite possibly the worst movie i've ever seen. The effects are worse than any Loony Tunes, the plot more contrived and the comedy one tenth as good. My five year old would not be amused.
One Star BUT..........2006-01-06
Isn't this just the greatest TITLE in the history of motion pictures?
How To Stuff A Wild Bikini Is Bikinitastic!.......2005-08-09
Annette, and Frankie are yet back again. In the '65 Teen Flick How To Stuff A Wild Bikini. While Frankie is off in the navy, he enlists the help of a wise witch doctor (Keaton) to conjure up a wild, sexy bikini clad vixen to distract Ricky(Hickman)from getting to cozy with his girl Dee Dee (Annette). This is a side-splitting, romantic comedy. Full of hot bikini babes, great surfing, great singing, and a great plot. THe comic plot also includes Brain Donlevy, Buster Keaton, Harvey Lembeck and his rats and mice, Beverly Adams, John Ashley, Jody McCrea, Patti Chandler, Bobbie Shaw, Mary Hughes, and Special Guest Star Mickey Rooney. So if You Like Bkini Clad Vixen's, and beefcakes, than watch How To Stuff A Wild Bikini Beach tonight.
Come on .......2005-02-21

come on..........2006-08-14
this movie was good until the bob sagetish moral, meaning of life, message to the people or whatever u wanna call it came in the script.
it is like full house with nudity. if youre bored and wanna see some nudity, or girls from the early 90 in bikini. make your day.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-09-07
I never got this product. I recieved an e-mail that mentioned, the product was returned to the whare-house, and my money was re-funded
THE BEST!.......2003-02-10
This movie is great. It's possibly the most amazing movie ever made. It stars Jessica Hahn as a horny houswife, and is directed by Jeff "Bobby Wheeler" Conaway of Taxi fame. It also stars Conaway's sister, and a guy who was also in Donnie Brasco, not to mention some great acting from females who sometimes get naked. I swears to bears that this movie is a tour de force of modern filmmaking. Bikini Summer 2 will be discovered by anthropologists in the distant future and will become an object of serious discussion and investigation. This movie defines its own genre and is perfect for the discriminating film enthusiast.
Jeff Conaway (from TAXI) Directed This..........2001-02-25
And it is chaotic, incomprehensible! Jessica Hahn, top billed is on display for about 90 seconds (you think she can act?) Everything else is chop suey, editing room out-jokes (the opposite of in-jokes), vapid, soft core, exploitation. This movie was made by people who know that a name in the news, and female nudity will separate a certain type (worldwide) from their cashola.
Fantastic!.......2000-03-18
Let's face it. We're not watching this sort of movie for great character development or intriquite plot twists. This sort of movie is all about women in bikinis, or less. This movie is an excellent piece of work, if judged with that in mind. The women are many and Hot, the situations are funny and provocative, and the outfits are skimpy, revealing and imaginative. There are few movies in this genre that can top this one. If you are a fan, Don't hesitate to buy this flick!

A HUGE dissapointment.......2001-11-09
I never write reviews but I always read them and I felt that if I can warn somebody before they made the mistake of buying this video, I'd have done a good thing. First of all, this Movie has the keyword "Uncensored" in the title. This is simply not true! In fact the few scenes that were worth watching the "key" areas below the waist were blurred out as if you were watching the 9 o'clock news. Second of all, they kept replaying the same clips of the best booty shakin' and most of the time they were doing cheesy interviews and skits. Also, this movie features about 40% women and 60% guys on camera.

Breathtaker.......2000-07-28
It's simply gorgeous. Well done. I have a non-stop DVD player in my shop with Bikini beat 1.0 in it. We demand for more!!!
Bikinis are ok, but repetitive surround voices are annoying.......1999-10-07
The woman are attractive and wear brief bikinis. There are two competitions, one in a bar in Myrtle Beach and one on a beach in Florida. Many of the breasts appear to be surgically enhanced, but the bodies are attractive and fit. The other three portions are short model sessions with attractive women. There is no plot. There is no nudity. There is surround music and awful use of voices -- not the models voices but disembodied repeating and annoying voices. The photography is adequate with some close-ups.
