DB Title Addition: BEACH SPIKE (2011)

[Brian Thibodeau]

I've been passively following the development of this one -- for purely prurient reasons -- for a while and noticed it has no entry here.

Some pics and a synopsis, with director and cast members, including Chrissie Chau, Teresa Fu and Lo Mang (!).

Bey Logan's also involved with this fluffball, which means it will feature -- shock! -- martial arts.

I guess the pseudo-models craze was bound to end up at this point sooner or later.

I can see this having legs on DVD thanks to the enduring popularity of the pseudo-models in Hong Kong and the appeal of jiggle in general to a certain portion of the population , but beyond that, it seems awfully slight. Besides, for my money (and despite the flack I'll probably take for stating it), DOA remains the best bikini-martial-arts-volleyball movie of all time.

BEACH SPIKE just doesn't sound right to me. It doesn't pronounce very well. I hasten to think who might have dreamed up such an unwieldy title . . .

I'm wondering if Simon Watkiss, from this film:

. . . and Simon Waikiss, from these films:

. . . are the same person?

Good one. Watkiss' IMDB credits match our Waikiss'. Bey Logan calls him Watkiss a couple times in his blog. So that's his current name.

Also, his own self:

Merge time, I guess. Perhaps "Waikiss" should stay on as an alias? I'm betting he might be credited that way, obviously in error, on one or more of those 2008-2009 films of his.

if nobody stops me in 15 days I will merge them
