Reviews
- Lexicon of international film : "Dilettante staged, abstruse-violent action film that shamelessly exploits its speculative attributes."
- The New York Times : "Even the relatives of the actors won't find this film interesting."
- In an article in the Chicago Sun-Times , film critic Roger Ebert wrote that he left the cinema after half an hour.
“There are definitely amusing bad films like the one by the genius bungler Ed Wood , whose works are so bad that they are good again, but also just terribly bad films . These in turn are divided into involuntarily funny (like showgirls - unfortunately seen) and extremely embarrassing. The latter category includes Surf Nazis Must Die , which connoisseurs probably pulled as the most horrific celluloid crime of all time before the attack by the killer tomatoes. "
