The Kill 2

About This Movie

The Kill 2 dives into the raw and unfiltered world of extreme sports, particularly surfing. Ratboy’s prowess is on full display here, showcasing groundbreaking moves like that frontside 360 air – that was a game changer, folks. The vibe oscillates between gritty realism and the euphoric highs of surfing culture, with experimental camera work that gives you a front-row seat to the action. The pacing sometimes feels uneven, but it adds to the documentary style, almost making you part of the crew. It captures a distinct moment in time for surf enthusiasts and is definitely worth a look for anyone interested in the evolution of surfing films.

The Kill 2 is a bit of a niche find, especially on physical formats, with VHS copies being scarce. The interest from collectors often hinges on the surf culture depicted and Ratboy’s pioneering tricks. It’s not just a film but a time capsule of the early 90s surfing scene, making original copies particularly sought after by those who appreciate the technical evolution in sports films.
