Stupid... and proud of it!
capkronos1 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
If you're not a fan of forced comedy, pop culture references and low-budget B-horror/exploitation, then I wouldn't bother with this one... It's a maybe for everyone else. A slew of airhead community college students, led by the original bikini bloodbath slumber party massacre survivor Jenny (Rachael Robbins, replacing Leah Ford) accidentally resurrect pudgy Chef Death (Robert Cosgrove Jr.) while playing around with a OUIJA board. The now somewhat dead-looking killer (in a minimal makeup job) then goes around killing our bikini-clad heroines off one-by-one. Lesbian gym coach Miss Johnson (Debbie Rochon), who got a hatchet planted in her chest in the first film but managed to survive the attack, is now running a bikini car wash where all the girls work. Miss J also hosts a party for her employees and their dates where the most of the "carnage" takes place.

This follow-up to 2006's BIKINI BLOODBATH is more of the same; overlong dance sequences you might want to fast-forward through, hit-or-miss comedy (that usually misses to be quite honest), three brief topless scenes, lots of bikini action (obviously inspired by the BIKINI CAR WASH COMPANY flicks), rock soundtrack, etc. As was the case last time, everyone looks like they're having a good time, so that helps. Also several noticeable improvements have been made over the first film. For starters, Rochon has a major role instead of a cameo and does a great job here as usual. Secondly, the film has more gore. I'm not saying it's pulled off very well (the editing is a bit choppy), but at least they tried to increase the amount of bloodshed and cheap fx so this actually seems more like a horror-comedy this time out. Lastly (editing aside), the film looks more professionally done than the first, which was a bit rough around the edges at times. Here they did a nice job with the cinematography and such for the budget range. Many of the same actors and actresses killed in the first film also show up again, but playing different roles.

While this isn't going to appeal to everyone, it's an OK time-filler for fans of cheap horror-comedies. Amusing at times (including a Michael Jackson "Beat It" parody that comes out of nowhere), annoying at others (some of the running gags are lame). I'll still be sure to check out the thrilling conclusion to the trilogy - BIKINI BLOODBATH CHRISTM AS (announced at the end of this one) - as soon as I can cause I'm a completist like that.

Please stop making these movies

I'll start on a positive note. At least Debbie Rochon has more than 30 seconds of screen time in this sequel... OK... That's about it. Wait. Actually the film makers finally realized that with a title with the word "Bloodbath" in the title that they should actually have "BLOOD" in the film! Hopefully you were spared viewing the prequel to this horrible flick. Just in case... YOU NEED BLOOD FOR A BLOODBATH! There's a little bit more in this version, but the effects were amateur at best. Sure, there are some funny parts, but it's hard to figure out if the film makers actually planned the funny parts, or if it's actually soooo bad that you have to laugh... If you like BAD horror movies with a few tits thrown in, then go ahead, rent it. But drink a lot... A lot of the same actors from the first film were in this one. The sad part is that they've gotten worse with time... Case in point. Sheri Lynn. Come on... She either funded this film herself, or is sleeping with someone who did. Her acting is absolutely atrocious. She only has 2 assets, and she doesn't even show them! You get some decent performances from Rachael Robbins, and a couple others, but on the whole, this is just a very low budget film with low budget actors doing low budget acting. Do yourself a favor and just give up on this series. Please. You'll be better off for it.

You Get What You Pay For
artpf6 November 2013
A group of hot college girls decide to raise money and pulses by donning bikinis for a car wash.

But a maniac chef is prowling about to get a cut of the action.

What can you expect? Weeellll Puhlenty of T&A that's for sure. Puhlenty of blood. That's for sure. And good and puhlenty bad acting.

The movie is just over an hour long is and made like a Troma film.

Meaning super low (read: NO) budget and cheap effects.

You get what you pay for, but at least it keeps moving and doesn't pretend to be a serious flick. There could have been more naked babes, that's for sure.

"You Think You've Got What It Takes To Run With MY Girls?!"...
azathothpwiggins10 November 2021
BIKINI BLOODBATH CAR WASH is a title that lets you know immediately what you're in for. How could anyone be expecting high art?

That said, there is a shockingly large amount of male breakdancing and shirtless fat men applying lipstick.

While there are probably far better bikini car washes out there, the women are all blazing hot, funny, and professionally trained thespians. Well, maybe that last part is a bit of a stretch.

Let's face it. This is just a barely-there story, used as an excuse to have beautiful women running around naked. On that score at least, it's passable.

As for the killer chef, he's intentionally ridiculous. There's gore, but nothing overly impressive. That is, unless you long to witness male nipples being sawn off.

BBCW is a mirthful mess, as God intended...

Not sexy, not funny, not scary
laumperdukes3 December 2012
Warning: Spoilers
I have never before criticized another person's review on IMDb but I after seeing Bikini Bloodbath Car Wash and then reading gavin6942's review, I honestly have to question if he is an objective reviewer. We all have our own opinions but his review pushes reality out the window. I suspect, like some other reviews on IMDb, that this review was posted by someone involved in the production or distribution of the video. I will now give you my best attempt at an objective review, from someone with nothing to gain or lose from it.

I'll start with the most objective aspects first. There was hardly any nudity in this video, and I don't mean just by bikini-nudie-B-movies standards, I mean by any standards. Only a couple of the many bikini girls in this movie go topless. The three quick boob flashes you do see are completely non-erotic, like watching a nudist raking leaves. One example of the prudishness of this video: in one scene the manager character yells "All right ladies, hit the showers! It's closing time." OK cool, time for a nice shower scene, right? Wrong. No shower scene follows this. If you are wondering why that matters, then you are probably not familiar with this particular 'sub-genre'. When guys rent or buy a movie with bikini in the title and on the cover, they are doing so because they want to see boobs.

The other reviewer was entirely correct that there was very little blood and it didn't really come close to having any horror elements. This didn't surprise me since there are many similar movies that use some horror or slasher element simply to give an otherwise pointless nudie video some plot or reason. You will definitely be disappointed if you expect to see gore or be scared.

If you are the kind of person who finds really cheesy movies funny then you might wonder if this is worthy as a comedy. For this I can only say that I didn't find any part of this movie the least bit amusing let alone funny. However, humor can be very subjective so I suppose it's possible that you might laugh at something.

Aside from the premise of the title and box cover, perhaps you are a huge fan of B-movies and you just like getting a kick, either laughing or shocked fascination, at how incredibly bad some movies are. I've seen movies where the film making could not even be considered amateur – where a bunch of 7th graders with a video camera could make a more professional looking piece. I really like these kinds of movies, which is why I have seen so many B-movies. Bikini Bloodbath Car Wash is at a whole new level that I have never before witnessed. Homemade videos on YouTube are more interesting and professionally put together than this. You may have a different opinion that mine on this point, and perhaps you might be amused by the randomness and dollar store budget, but I seriously doubt it.

Even you are able to watch this for free like I did, it is not worth it. Know this before wasting even 15 minutes to speed through this at high speed: This is not a nudie movie and it is not clever or humorous. It's about as lame and pointless as low budget flicks can possibly get, and without much boobage, there just isn't any point.

If you need sleep and are having a problem turn this movie on
stdly200030 August 2014
Warning: Spoilers
I always start with I am a bad movie addict and get razed about it allot But WOW this was a really terrible movie. I have been robbed of precious time I could have used in a much better way like sleeping eating or just staring at a blank wall would have been a better use of my time. I almost didn't watch it to the end, two or three times I almost shut her down buy I figured to give an honest review I should finish the move. I was tired when I started watching and had a really hard time staying awake to the end. I also respect others opinions but gavin6942 could not be reviewing the same movie I just watched and if he is and has that much free time on his hands he should watch Bunnyman HA HA HA. Sorry gavin6942 but come on let's be honest. I can watch Porno if I want boobs but when you watch a comedy horror that has bikini in the title you just expect lots of boobs even the one short shower scene was boring. Being a so called horror film the only part that was scary was is that this movie made it to film. The girls are suppose to be hot but they hang with a bunch of idiot supposed nerd type guys or maybe they we're supposed to be jocks. The guy with the long blonde hair (maybe a wig) was hard to even look at I tried to cover part of the screen with my hand every time he was on screen because his part was making me physically sick to my stomach. The blonde idiot's friends where no better all of the acting was bad in this movie and I mean ALL. One of the teachers wears a Gilligan hat short on props maybe I have no idea but it sure looked stupid maybe that's what they wanted again I have no idea. After all the people the butcher kills the one girl left at the end uses one hand with a bat and decapitates him with a single blow? I could go on but why and I'll try to be nice but I am warning you do not waste your time on this hunk of crap.

Hilarious comedy with some horror
kannibalcorpsegrinder28 October 2019
Trying to get through college, a group of friends at a bikini carwash decide to unwind at their bosses' house for a party with several friends, but when they start disappearing due to a resurrected serial killer they've battled before try to outwit him again to get away once again.

This one turned out to be a highly enjoyable effort. This one works best as a comedy since this one has numerous genuinely laugh-out-loud moments. Filled to the brim with puns, soundtrack cues of silly, cartoonish noise, slapstick gags and even movie parodies from mainstream films, there's no shortage of funny moments. That there's so much to laugh at in how braindead and utterly moronic they are in every situation imaginable also causes plenty of laughs here based on the complete misunderstanding they have of what's happening, or the nonsequiturs which make no sense, and along with the just-as-stupid group of dancers that get involved with the girls there's a lot of hilarity to be had here as this one prioritizes the laughs over anything else here. However, even with the laughs getting the main portion of attention the horror still has enough presence to serve this one nicely. The fact that there's a really fun and over-the-top method for the killer's resurrection, taking place during the silly ouija board ceremony which shows the great emergence from the graveyard while they cheekily explain their previous encounter. The cheesy confrontations are truly hysterical while also endearingly fun indie-flavored slasher setups, as the killer going around the group in the community offer up some solid scenes. Once it gets to the party and the manner of taking out the partygoers around the house are fun providing this with some great humorous setups and gore. These here are what make the film quite fun. There are some big problems here. The main issue to be had here is the overwhelming comedic aspect that might make this one funny if you're into the genre yet excruciating if you're not. There's more of a focus on the comedy here that some genre fans might not be into, and that could be a problem for some as the over-the-top nature and obvious bent won't be universally appealing, much like the low-budget indie styled gore and bloodshed that make this look cheaper than it is. As well, there's also the rather confusing nature of the film being so short yet filled with several musical dance parties that are redundant and do nothing but eat up time which could've been used to give more time to the finale as this ends abruptly. Otherwise, there's not a whole lot wrong with this one.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Nudity.

Amazingly Hilarious Comedy Film With Horror Elements
gavin69427 November 2008
A group of college girls work with Miss Johnson (Debbie Rochon) to run a car wash... with plenty of bikini action. All is fine and good until Chef Death is raised from the dead following a communication with him via a Ouija board.

This is one of those reviews where, with all due respect to the people who made this film, I have to be brutally honest. Guys, you really impressed me. I'm serious. As a reviewer for Killer Reviews, I often get contacted by independent film makers who send me films that should never have even been conceived of on those long, drunk nights. I feared this was another one... I mean, "Bikini Bloodbath Car Wash"? Who can take that seriously? But they proved me wrong. While the actors are largely amateurs (with Debbie Rochon being an exception and taking a surprisingly large role as the lesbian matron of the college girls) they are all, without a doubt talented and funny people (and attractive, too, if you're worried about the car wash scenes). I laughed out loud many times, and to my surprise my girlfriend loved it, too. In fact, I think her laughter was longer and harder than mine. For a woman who has only been exposed to such films in the past month, she's really grown fond of them and this was one that stands out.

I want to single out Bruce Seymour, who played Community College Commander. I loved the numerous G.I. Joe references and the Michael Jackson references and many of the more obscure bits. But Seymour's role, although brief, made me want to blow liquids out of my nose if I had any liquids with which to blow. Sadly, my cup was empty.

The "blood" part was actually pretty minimal, whereas the "bikini" part was much greater. And yes, friends, there's some nudity. I think this worked well. I'm all about senseless violence and blood and gore. But comedy is so much harder to achieve, which this film did well. Not to say the gore was awful. There was one effect involving a nipple that shows a level of skill and ingenuity rarely presented at this level. Well played, folks.

For anyone who loves bad jokes, pop culture references and the like... you'll really dig this flick. Don't let the cheese factor fool you, these guys are hilarious and deserve more credit than I can give them. The closest I ever saw to a film like this was "The Janitor", or perhaps "Filthy McNasty". I'd place this between the two -- not as great as "The Janitor", but better than Chris Seaver's "McNasty" (sorry, Debbie, I know you love defending Chris, but he has been beaten). If your video store carries this, rent it. If not, it wouldn't be a bad idea to buy it. Support independent film at its finest.
