Listen Up Everyone! I'd advise you to stop whatever your doing right now this is THE MOST IMPORTANT news you are going to hear all day today..."Baywatch" is going to be released on DVD on September 25th 2017. Sorry for the change in date but I was a little side tracked when I wrote this post so I didn't really keep checking the order details and if they had changed or not.
I was perusing my e-mail inbox yesterday and finally after what seems like aaaaaaaages to me of there being no e-mail update from Amazon on when this DVD will be released on DVD but it just saying on my order details on my Amazon account that I had pre-ordered this...well it's "Baywatch" why wouldn't you pre-order this if not for the hilarious insults that are hurled at Zac Efron by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
If you haven't seen this film yet, why the hell not? and I'd advise that you stop reading the rest of this post as what I'm about to write next may contain some if not all spoilers.
For those in the know this film is based on the TV series "Baywatch" which starred Pamela Anderson as CJ Parker and David Hasselhoff as Mitch who was in charge of all the lifeguards that looked after the beach and they wore all red swimsuits and particularly the girls always ran in slow motion and they always had very far fetched storylines so much so it was pure comedy...but this is where this film takes its lead, this still is pure comedy using characters from the original TV series as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson plays the character Mitch who is a dedicated lifeguard and takes it seriously as do all the people in his team until Zac Efron who plays a washed up ex American Olympic swimmer who's reputation for partying hard cost him his place on the team and also another gold medal so he has to do community service alongside Mitch and immediately gets the piss taken out of him as he rocks up in a leather biker jacket, bandana, blonde highlights on the back of a motorcycle and has his medals with him showing them off to everyone automatically assuming everyone knows who he is and that he doesn't have to do what everybody else does to become a lifeguard and go through timed trials...cue a competition with Dwayne Johnson to lift fridges, rollover tyres and even at one point Zac Efron saying that "This has nothing to do with saving lives".
And from here Mitch and his team including Zac Efron have to investigate when Mitch finds that a lot of small floka packages (drugs) keep floating onto the beach and they then find a council member dead and that it all leads back to Victoria Leeds who is played by Priyanka Chopra.
Ok you can now look if you've been trying not to read those two last paragraphs.
I urge you to not only buy a copy of this DVD when it's released or even download or stream this film just because you haven't seen it yet, but just for the insults thrown at Zac Efron to hearing the immortal words of "I'm Oceananic motherfucker" said by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as he uncovers this drug smuggling operation and puts an end to it. But also you've got to watch it just to see the cameos of Pamela Anderson and David Hasselhoff...but also I urge you to get this on DVD for the always reason of there never seems to be anything good to watch on TV these days.
