Blue Crush 2 Blu-ray Review

Sorry the tag line was just to funny to pass up perhaps thinking we had an official Jaws release......but it's the next worse thing:

Universal is returning to the formula that made Blue Crush a moderate success with the direct-to-video sequel Blue Crush 2. You'll find it in stores on Blu-ray and DVD beginning June 7.
Blue Crush 2 stars a young cast led by Sasha Jackson ('One Tree Hill') and was shot entirely on location in South Africa which is home to the "perfect wave." A slew of professional surfers will also get their surf on in front of the camera. When fit bodies aren't riding waves, there's a story about a California girl trying to fulfill her mother's dream of surfing Jeffrey's Bay.

Bonus features include the following:

DELETED SCENES
GAG REEL
THE MAKING OF BLUE CRUSH 2—Dive into the world of Blue Crush 2 as the cast and crew of the film offer an inside look at the film's behind-the-scenes secrets.
SURF SAFARI! FILMING IN SOUTH AFRICA—From Durban's bustling street markets to the dazzling wildlife of the African plains, Blue Crush 2 showcases the beauty of South Africa in all its diversity. The cast and crew take viewers on a very personal guided tour of this amazing location.
RIPPING IT! SHOOTING THE SURF SCENES—The filmmakers reveal the intricate techniques they used to create some of the most awesome surf ever seen. They also take viewers behind the scenes to look at how the film's stars trained for the intense surfing sequences.

Sorry, but saying this movie is the "next" worst thing in the same sentence as Jaws implies that Jaws is the worst thing. And I personally have to disagree with that.

EricJ · 02-24-2011, 06:21 PM

First the Jaws joke that was lame in the 70's...
Then, not even trying to a verb in the header...

...But would it have killed you do to try for a Crush joke?

Mods, feel free to retitle as you will.

You know your right I sit corrected! Jaws is not the next worse thing, perhaps Jaws The Revenge is the next worse thing......

Everyones a critic. and the point I was making is how lame-ass movies like Blue Crush 2 get released before such classics as Jaws. Now if you can come up with one better have at it.

Then your thread title would have to be changed to "This time it's personal". Speaking of Jaws 4, Mario van Peebles needs work. Why isn't he is Blue Crush 2? Or is he? (don't care enough to look)

But you're right - instead of releasing these "direct to video", quick cash grabs - Universal should be prepping their most beloved & often requested classics for Blu-ray.

Pyoko · 02-24-2011, 07:35 PM

I love how the cover says "From the filmmakers that brought you Blue Crush." I WOULD NEVER HAVE GUESSED.

Good Question? Mario Van Peebles. I think he does documentaries now. But not sure. I know at one time he wanted to do a follow-up to New Jack City, but it never came to be.

DetroitSportsFan · 02-24-2011, 08:54 PM

Finally, something that Universal can say sold worse on Blu than the direct-to-video American Pie sequels.

SethRex · 02-24-2011, 10:02 PM

Well I suppose this can't be that bad...I'll check it out. But how about a nice Blue Crush 2-pack

Nikka488 · 02-25-2011, 04:32 PM

I might be walking into a bullet for this comment, but I am actually excited to get Blue Crush (original - same release date) on Blu-ray. It's one of my guilty pleasures along with North Shore, Under the Boardwalk, Thrashin', Rad, etc...

Tom Hiddleston · 02-25-2011, 04:34 PM

I saw the first one.

I don't remember why I did, I think someone must have literally held a gun to my head.

Got mine today, both actually. Love the first one, looking forward to this one aswell.

Shallow_ · 05-27-2011, 07:24 PM

Just finished watching Blue Crush 2 and this movie was fantastic! As with most direct to video releases I feared the worst, but I think this one holds its own very well.

Picture quality was great and the DTS HD MA soundtrack puts you in the middle of the action. The production does not show any signs of low budget straight to video quality, and its highly recommended if you enjoy this kind of movies.

If anyone wants to settle for an SD-viewing, l got the Digital Copy just laying around.. first PM gets it.

That's a surprise, a DTV sequel that's good? I might have to check it out then. At least it's from the same people that made the first movie
