One of the all-time funniest movies. My buddy and I saw this at the movies in 4th grade and I swear we did not stop laughing throughout the entire movie. And watching it today I still notice little things I've missed through the years.
I have to wonder if this song was part of the inspiration for Weird Al's "Trigger Happy," which is also a 1960s surf-rock / Beach Boys / Jan & Dean stylistic parody with guns as subject matter.
I saw this at the cinema when it first came out, didn't really enjoy the film as I had a headache, when I saw it on video a few years later I LOL'd all the way through it. One of my favourite films, up there with Monty python.
@PlauvelyBeatles "Skeet Surfin" from the movie "Top Secret" from 1983. But it's very inspired by the original songs Surfin Safari and Surfin USA by the Beach Boys from the early 60's: )
I remember me lying on the floor laughing...back 1985... I couldnt breathe...You have to see it 10 times to see all jokes. The ultimate Masterpiece of ZAZ!!!
me and my friends have gotten high and watched this move a few times, and none of them that have seen in in that state could tell you what happens hahaha
What makes this movie so funny is that It takes place in World War II (the 1940's) and Rock n roll didn't come until 10 years later and surf music 20 years later.. Classic!!! hilarious
@DarthMauricius I don't know if you're serious or just jerkin' my chain... I don't remember mentioning anything about East Germany. Either way, you are Correct though. ha ha ha
@Jazzy9964 Not really, it actually takes place in the early 60s or at least post-WWII because they are clearly saying "East Germany" but there's a funny inconsistency anyway - east Germany is a communist country but the military are dressed like nazist-times Germany, minus the svastika
Very underrated movie, farse-type films just aren't like this anymore. I always remembered the 'anal intruder' -scene. 'I just can't bring my wife to orgasm.'
The goofy thing about this sequence is that it was filmed off the west coast of ENGLAND! According to the director, it was freezing (about 40 degrees farenheit) and the performers suffered badly. That might be why you see some wet suits in there. Another goofy thing: the black actors were English, and the "Brother" who high fives Chocolate Mousse in the cabin shoot-out scene had to be instructed on how to sound like an American by a Jewish guy from Wisconsin!
This movie never gets old! And it has so many funny details, like the magazine that says: "My daughter is dead, but so is the burgler" at 2:19. Great parody!
This film is a fine example of the parody genre. It's funny even if you don't know or aren't familiar with what they are parody. This is along the lines of Airplane and the Hotshots movies. Great song that is upbeat, funny, and covers a lot of ground. Great movie.
let's think about this for one second'Guns, surfboards, waves? Okay one time maybe, but cmon here humans, this is gonna take practice and a few fatalities!
The most, & only intersting part if this movie, is the big breasted bikini bathing beach babe: I love the sene, when she raises up off the sand, & shows where she has left a perfect indention in the sand, where both her breast were.... Odd, that there was no credit, for her.... She has remained a "mystery", all these years....

I'm trying to guess all the songs that inspired this musical pastiche.. so far I hear:
- surfin usa (beach boys)
- fun fun fun (beach boys)
- california sun (the rivieras)
- do it again (beach boys)
- california girls (beach boys)
what's your guess on the piece that starts at 2:24???
