Story Synopsis:
Endless Summer II is an endless fun ride for surfing fans throughout the world. This is the follow-up to the original movie released in 1994. Since that time the sport has expanded from just four countries to virtually every country in the world that has a coastline and on almost every island in every ocean. Champion surfers Robert “Wingnut” Weaver and Pat O’Connell pick-up their search for the perfect wave. With great surfing scenes from around the world, from the huge wall of water of Hawaii’s Waimea Bay to the uninhabited surfing areas in different parts of the world, we get to know surfers who are tops in their profession and others who are just out to have a great time. This is a gem of a film that pays homage to the thrills and adventure of surf boarding.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture is matted at 1.85:1. There are scene to scene inconsistencies in color fidelity and other visual elements but the images are often visually captivating, if not exciting. Colors are vivid and fleshtones are naturally rendered. The picture is free of noise and artifacts.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is undistinguished monaural, except for the music score which is often well recorded and presented.
