The Endless Summer II

Parents need to know that The Endless Summer II retraces many of the steps taken in director Bruce Brown's iconic 1966 surfing movie, The Endless Summer, 35 years later in the mid-1990s. There's more sexual content that mostly objectifies women, like topless sunbathers on a beach in France. Pat and Wingnut are distracted while surfing by topless women facing the water; the narrator refers to their breasts as "zoomers." Bare male and female buttocks in thong bikinis are briefly shown and remarked on by the narrator. A monkey's large testicles are visible, Pat expresses amazement, and the narrator refers to them as "figs." Pat leans in very close and watches a woman's breasts as she's playing pool, then mugs for the camera after she shoots. On the DVD, clicking on the "Other Sports DVDs" option shows several pornographic DVDs available in addition to many sports ones. Drinking includes kava, guaro, beer, a scene in a pub, and a couple of brief scenes in a nightclub and at a party. Occasional strong language includes "ass" and "damn." It can be a good opportunity to talk about some of the risky behavior, like ignoring warning signs about leptospirosis, rafting a river without scouting it first, and stepping on coral.
