An insufferably one-note, postapocalyptic "satire" set in the aftermath of the nuclear destruction of the U.S.
Funnier on paper than in reality, this self-impressed film has the stop-and-go pace of a student driver.
Imagine the cast of "Repo Man" attempting to cast the one ring into the fires of Mordor
The loopiest thing to come down the pike in many a year. Fans of What-the-F Cinema, get thee to the theater.
Audience Reviews for The Beach Party at the Threshold of Hell
Super Reviewer
The viewer follows Tex Kennedy, great great (and so on) grandson of John F. Kennedy. Along with his two robot pals, Quincy and Yul, and the sometimes trusty Cannibal Sue, Tex is out on a mission to restore rightful power the young New America. This journey won't be any typical journey. There's a whole lot of fun to be had with this film. It's on a low scale and rather ingeniously made. It has b-movie qualities which give it a rather warm feeling. From start to finish, this film entertains. The filmmakers did a fine job convincing me that America was truly gone. The film plays out like a "twisted History Channel documentary" with a narrator and clips of "historians" who help tell the story of Tex Kennedy and his pals.
Some of the most entertaining scenes in this film come with the character interactions. For example, you've got the great grandsons of Fidel Castro and John F. Kennedy meeting in a jail cell. I could go on and on about many of the films characters but I think you should get the point. This film has finally hit DVD thanks to National Lampoon picking up it's rights. Don't let that fool you though, this film is much, much better than the crap they actually create. It's creative, witty, and certainly NOT the worst thing God ever puked up!

The most annoying thing is the audio which sounds like it was recorded in a ventilation shaft.
