why me?..why me all the time??


..anyone else agree that this film definitely suffers from the absence of Eric Von Zipper and the Rats (oh, and his two mice, Puss 'n' Boots)?

ANY movie would be better with Eric Von Zipper in it.

...of course the big question is, WHY arent the motorcycle Rats in this beach movie????...did the writers think they had enough conflict with the musclemen invading the surfers territory??..or was Lembeck just unavailable?

reply

My guess is, at the time, they probably had different 'villains' planned for each one in the series, the first one was a surprise hit-and they hadn't reckoned on the popularity of the character. I remember reading at the time the studio got a ton of fan mail wanting Lembeck in the next one. For me, he made these movies.
