Baywatch is now a kung-fu movie. I think a step up for them.

Music department win

Best bits:

Opening scene was great, a good montage with a great chill track sees Mitch and Hobe walk the beach for fun times.

Hilarious shot with just the head of Japanese drug boss loitering by the rocks too, laughs had by all.

Another hilarious moment was in the restaurant where Mitch and fam are stalked by said Japanese man, Mitch (rattled by altercation with drug lord at the bar) asks GF and Hobe if the food has arrived - it clearly hasn't as there is nothing on the table...

The old school life guard "wooden surf board throwback scene" in particular worked. It was set up with a full five second zoom into one of the characters faces. I would go as far as saying the best montage of the show to date. The track made by the music department was exceptional, I would download on Spotify if it wasn't stock music.

Horror scene moment - Mitch's Bae, hyper aware when left alone with Hobe, cuts apple and adds cubed cheese from a bag to a plate while noticed every little wind whisper and fire crackle. Subsequently predictable moment while she looks away as turning a corner and clever positioned camera results in shock reveal of drug lord in hostage takeover moment.

Excellent tops off fight scene. Mitch takes the samurai triple roundhouser into the water where he has the advantage while Garner "rescues" and holds gun awkwardly.

Is there nothing Mitch Buchannon can't do?

Just a note - never find out if Shaunie learns to surf.

Shang Tsung Wins... Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa's good, but this is just such cringe. Mitch so gullible again. Shauni's surfing lesson turns into old guy reminiscing about surfing, jeez.
