Movie Reviews of North Shore
Movie Review: Brah, You So Haole....
Summary: 5 Stars
i cant add anything to the other 75 comments... back in the day, this was a cheesy B movie filmed in hawaii. we all watched it cause nia peeples was a HOTTIE! being born and raised here, we all made fun of the cheesy lines by repeating them incessantly. now the lines are classic and part of the local pidgin. turtle was everyone's favorite character cause he sounds like a typical haole trying to act local. our favorite line was "brah, you so haole, you no even know you haole" - turtle. my favorite word which i still use today... "KOOK."
i quoted turtle today (adapted to the person) "you're so clueless, you dont event know you're clueless." i had to explain the movie which led to me realizing, THIS IS A MUST HAVE CULT DVD FOR THE COLLECTION. the 18 year old girl whom i called clueless said she just read turtle's line on someone's surfboard (19 years after the movie was released!!). CLASSIC!!!
Movie Review: Chandler Surfboards North Shore T-Shirts Rule
Summary: 5 Stars
"Chandler teach me how to big wave surf not even" Turtle"Here on the North Shore we treat friends mo better" Turtle
"Yeah, design thing...design me right out of the picture howle"
"He one bad ripper yeah. I hear he break his stick he shred so bad"
"Scrub it kook!"
And the list goes on. If you love the movie you can quote every line. The DVD rules. Kudos to the company for actually believing in this film, after all of these years, and including interviews with the original cast.
This film touched a nerve in a whole generation of surfers and wanna be surfers alike.
If you love it like I love it, send an email to skatervet@yahoo.com. I'll send you a pic of the tribute Chandler Surfboards North Shore Hawaii T-shirt like the one Rick Kane (Matt Adler) wore at the end of the movie. Maybe one can be yours.
Later Barneys.
Movie Review: A Cult Surf Movie that I'm glad to see on DVD - FINALLY!
Summary: 5 Stars
North Shore is definitely a cult surf film. Although it is a bit unrealistic, it was a surf film so unline other surf films in the 80's (everyone remember "Under the Boardwalk"). As "Endless Summer 1 & 2" and "Big Wednesday" are ultimate films, "North Shore" was a blast because you had Occy, Laird, Derek Ho and many more surfers involved with this film. Anyway, enough with the film, let's talk about the DVD.One of the coolest things about this DVD is when they talk to the cast of the film like 15 years later to see how the film has affected them or how the film has reached cult status. A lot of cool info. of the behind-the-scenes of the making of this film.
It does have an alternate ending but it's from the first woman who played the main character and was later released.
Anyway, it's one of those surf films to keep and just have fun watching and showing other people.
Movie Review: "The Karate Kid" on a surfboard, only much better
Summary: 5 Stars
Similar storylines: 1) Clueless rookie arrives at new place and gets into trouble with locals. 2) Jaded, reclusive master pities said rookie and takes him under his wing, thereby turning rookie into expert.
The similarities with Karate Kid end there. I would have never predicted the outcome of this movie.
I don't surf, but this movie teaches many invaluable life lessons for anyone, from the effects of competition on human nature to what makes a marriage happy.
I write this review because my 7 year-old has started to surf and I got him this movie so he may learn what (I figure) a real surfer's attitude ought to be. I saw this movie once almost 20 years ago and I was amazed at how much detail I remembered. In other words, this is a movie that will make a positive impression on you for a lifetime.
Movie Review: Awesome 80s B Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
The first time I saw this was when I was really drunk in college about 5 years ago. I was on the couch with my 40 ounce of King Cobra flipping through channels trying to find something to watch. I started watching this because I'd always wanted to go to Hawaii and at the time I lived in Tempe Arizona (just like the main character).
I instantly got sucked into the movie. It's definitely cheesy, it's a B movie, and it has a huge 80s feel to it. But you can't help but cheer for the main character. And Nia Peeples is extremely hot.. wow. I love just about any movie about Hawaii. Since then, I've had a chance to see a lot of Hawaii first hand and even though I didn't become a surf champ, I did have fun bringing up this movie when I was at the bar talking to locals.
