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.
