PLOT

A surfin' beach in Australia provides the setting for
this comedy which chronicles the struggles between
youthful surfers and an evil capitalistic developer
determined to destroy their turf. Mike McCain is an L.A.
developer. His wife and business partner are plotting to
double-cross him and take over an Australian beach in
order to build a high-rise resort. Mike sends Bobby, his
handsome young son, to check out the beach and the
situation. Bobby, pretending to be an exchange
lifeguard, is soon accepted among the surfers. He finds
love with the attractive Julie Thomas, whose father owns
the beach. Just as he has decided to join the surfers'
cause, Bobby's true identity is discovered and they turn
on him. It is his father, who has had a change of heart,
who saves the day. He makes an environmentally sound
compromise that makes everyone happy (except his wife
and business partner, of course).

RIP NOTES

There was a time when women all across the world were
going wild for Christopher Atkins, and he was starring
shirtless alongside a young Brooke Shields in the
surprise blockbuster of the summer. But then there was a
time when he, after some poor decisions, was only being
offered parts in low-budget trash, and had no choice but
to accept them to put food on the table. A time during
which his wife would leave him due to lack of
professional acting ambition. Guess when this flick is
from...

Released the same year a certain Pamela Anderson
joined the Baywatch cast, one can only speculate what
this movie was trying to cash in on. At the same time,
the formula doesn't seem to have changed much from the
sort of stuff you would have rented 8 years prior.
Lifeguards, at the topless Mullet Beach in Australia,
with a title that sounds equal parts zany comedy and
soft core porn. Yup, this one is a box ticker, alright!
Had Elliott Gould known he would two years later be part
of the Friends cast, he might have chosen to pass this
one up.

Enjoy!

WHO WE ARE

Since 2003, FLAiR has been dedicated to preserving
the neglected titles of an entertainment era long gone.
A time of classic kids flicks, painstaking hand-drawn
animation and countless cheesy low-budget horrors. A
time when pop had a King, and rock had a Queen. A time
when special FX wizards ruled, and CGI was just one of
their many tools.

Driven by nostalgia and memories of better days, we
seek to relive those times, and share those memories.
While our belief is that the 80s represent the very
pinnacle of pop culture, we will not limit ourselves
to one decade, or any single genre. We will not ignore
the movies considered insignificant or even embarrassing
by the studios. We will not disregard a timepiece just
because it is dated.

Whereas most groups rely solely on digital sources,
there are still thousands of rare and out of print
titles, many of which have no planned digital release.
We've made it our mission to dig these out, clean them
up using the best hardware and techniques available to
us, and share them with the world. Be it VHS, Laserdisc
or more exotic formats, we're here to bring you the best
(and worst!) of decades past. So sit back and enjoy as
we uncover and pay tribute to an age of cinema we will
never get back.

THANKS

To everyone that has supported us over the years and
managed to keep this fun!
