Appearance
Surf's Up 2: WaveMania is a 2016 3D computer-animated direct-to-video mockumentary comedy film directed by Henry Yu. It is a sequel to the 2007 film, Surf's Up. Produced by Sony Pictures Animation and WWE Studios, the film was released on January 17, 2017 on DVD and digital media.
Jeremy Shada and Melissa Sturm replace Shia LaBeouf and Zooey Deschanel as Cody Maverick and Lani Aliikai. Jon Heder and Diedrich Bader return as Chicken Joe and Tank Evans respectively, while WWE professional wrestlers John Cena, The Undertaker, Triple H, Paige, and Vince McMahon make up the Hang 5.
Cody Maverick
[edit]- The Hang 5 is the real deal. They've done everything! Snowboard during an avalanche: check. Skydive into a tornado: check. Competitive speed knitting: check. Whatever it is they're about to do, I wanna be a part of it.
- The Hang 5?! The most legendary surf crew of all time?!
- You better start packing your bags, Tank, 'cause by tomorrow, I'm gonna be a part of the Hang 5. Traveling the world, doing the most radical stuff. And you'll just go back to being a nobody from Nowhere Island, and you'll never see me again.
- [reads an inscription] "Here lies the great hero of Slaughter Island, the bravest and most honored surfer of all. He gave up his chance at fame and fortune, and he chose to stay with his people to protect them from the treacherous waters of the Trenches by performing the sacred rites of Ride The Lightning.". RTL! [looks back and sees lightning] Oh no! I gotta tell Lani and Joe! [runs off to warn his friends]
Chicken Joe
[edit]- [repeated line] Cock-a-doodle-dude!
- Man, this teaching thing is harder than I thought.
- [almost being eaten by the Undertaker] Whoa, man, don't eat me! I'm not the food!
- Uh, I don't think I'm quite ready for the big chicken bucket up in the sky just yet. Oh, hey, how about an honorary membership?
- [picks up the conch, puts it to his ear] Uh-huh. Yeah? Yeah? Whoa! So that's why everything tastes like me. Thanks, dude! [wears it on his head]
Lani Aliikai
[edit]- [referring to Tank] We can't let him win, Cody.
- I can't watch. But I can't not watch. I'm a lifeguard, Joe! I'm supposed to protect all beachgoers! I swore a Hippocratic oath!
Tank "The Shredder" Evans
[edit]- Fight through the pain. It's part of your training.
- [about his surfboard] This is Michelle. We've been together for about-- What is it, babe? --3 years now. I bought her at a garage sale. I saw her across the lawn and was like "Oh, yeah!". Don't get me wrong, I still ride other boards, y'know, but uh...but Michelle, she's special.
Hang 5
[edit]Mr. McMahon
[edit]- Come on, guys. We've got a lot of ground to cover today. Remember what we talked about last night. After all, this journey isn't just about getting to the Trenches. One of you will be replacing me on the Hang 5. Those are some big shoes to fill, so show me you've got big feet. [raises his foot and wiggles his toes]
- I leave you alone for 10 minutes and this is what you do? I except rookie mistakes from rookies, but you guys know better. And Cody Maverick, we'll never get to the Trenches if you keep starting fights with your teammates.
- My friends, we finally made it. Behold, the Trenches.
JC
[edit]- If you want some, come get some!
- I make this look good!
- Leg-pressing a large heavy boulder, then onto a one-handed handstand, all while still leg-pressing the boulder. The secret to my amazing physique: eat right, exercise, and never give up...on being awesome!
- [referring to Cody and his heroic efforts] That's what I saw in him.
Undertaker
[edit]- [cracks his head in place, his eyes dangle to reveal pupils] That tickled.
- I slept like a corpse.
- [after being shocked by jellyfish held by Chicken Joe] Now that was gnarly.
Hunter
[edit]- If you kids think JC's dumb old stories are cool, watch me uproot this tree. [runs into the tree, coconuts fall on his head]
- I told you guys, I sat on a puddle!
- I think you have something to say to Cody. [shoves Tank in Cody's direction]
Paige
[edit]- Yeah, you don't wanna mess with me when I'm in a bad mood.
- Lani, we're all about pushing ourselves to the absolute limit. And it doesn't get any more extreme than this.
Dialogue
[edit]- Mr. McMahon: [opens a chest] What I hold here is the key that will unlock one of the greatest mysteries of our time.
- Chicken Joe: Why everything seems to taste like me?
- Mr. McMahon: No. This is the map to the most legendary surfing spot on the planet. [drumroll] The Trenches!
- Cody: I thought that the Trenches were just, like, made up...to scare little kids.
- Paige: Oh, it's real, alright. And everything you hear about it is true.
- Hunter: It's hidden somewhere on Slaughter Island, the most dangerous and mysterious place on the planet.
- JC: Jagged rocks, huge cliffs.
- Undertaker: It's a surfer's graveyard.
- Mr. McMahon: And we're going to ride it! RTL! Am I right, guys?
- Paige: Heck yeah! RTL!
- Hang 5: RTL!
- Cody: Hey Joe, what does RTL mean?
- Chicken Joe: I don't know, man. Rumbly tummy...ooh, something? [farts] Oh, I shouldn't have eaten all those escargogos.
- Mr. McMahon: Surfing the Trenches will be the greatest ride of my life. [frowns] And my last.
- Chicken Joe: Because you're gonna die?!
- Mr. McMahon: No! Because I'm retiring.
- Hang 5: [surprised] WHAT?!
- JC: Boss, you can't be serious!
- Mr. McMahon: Hey, I'm not getting any younger. It's time for me to settle down.
- Hunter: What does that mean? We're gonna be the Hang 4 from now on?
- Mr. McMahon: Maybe not. Big Z always said Pen Gu breeds great surfers. I think it's time we add a new member.
- Paige: Have somebody in mind, boss?
- Mr. McMahon: [laughs] I'm not gonna give away the surprise just yet. But I think I might've found someone very special. [Cody looks back and smiles, assuming he'll be part of the Hang 5]
- Mr. McMahon: This is the moment we've been waiting for!
- Paige: Whoa, this is amazing!
- Mr. McMahon: [laughing] Let's ride!
- Chicken Joe: Cock-a-doodle-dude!
- Hunter: [wakes up furiously] HRAAAAGH!!!!! Cock-a-doodle-SHUT UP!!!
- [Cody wakes up uncomfortably, Lani follows and finds him sitting on a log]
- Lani: [sits next to Cody] Can't sleep?
- Cody: Yeah, I think I need a moment to calm down from all the excitement. My heart's jumping out of my chest.
- Lani: Yeah, I can tell. This has been some day. Must be a pretty big deal to you.
- Cody: This is my dream, Lani. I can't stop thinking about it. I don't think I blinked once all day. I didn't wanna miss a second. [he and Lani look up] Mr. McMahon thinks you're amazing. He's totally gonna pick you.
- Lani: Mm, I dunno. I miss Pen Gu. We've been gone for so long. I can't wait to tell our friends back home about all of this.
- Cody: [laughs] Yeah, they'll never believe it. I wish every day was like this. I feel like I'm finally living the life I always wanted to, y'know? I wish this feeling could last forever.
- Lani: [chuckles] Yeah, well, you should get some sleep.
- Cody: Yeah, in a minute. Let's soak this in a while longer. [falls asleep on Lani, who also falls asleep]
- Cody: [lands his glider] Alright!!! Who's awesome? I'm awesome! [sees the team surrounding Chicken Joe] Whoa, what's going on, everyone? [gasps]
- Chicken Joe: [wakes up] The Undertakes saved me from death. Ironic! [faints]
- Cody: [confused] W-Where's your board?
- Undertaker: You destroyed it when you bumped Tank into Joe.
- Cody: [shocked] What?! [turns to Chicken Joe] Joe, man, I'm so sorry. I-I didn't mean to...
- JC: "Sorry" doesn't cut it, Cody. What the heck were you thinking?
- Tank: Yeah, man, why'd I ever do to you? All these years of friendship, and he still... [sniff] He still keeps these-these walls up, and...I don't know how to break 'em down. [fakes crying] I just don't know what to think anymore.
- Cody: [scoffs in annoyance] Are you kidding me, dude? [points at Tank] This guy's been sabotaging me since day 1!
- Hunter: And you think that makes it okay?
- Cody: Well, yeah. I-I was just tryna win, y'know? So I could prove I can be one of you.
- JC: Putting your friends in danger only proves that you're nothing like us.
- Mr. McMahon: The Hang 5 is a family.
- Paige: We have each other's back, no matter what.
- Cody: Lani, please tell 'em I didn't mean for this to happen. Alright? You know me!
- Lani: [as she carries Chicken Joe on her shoulder] Yeah, Cody, I do. And that's why I'm just so disappointed in you right now.
- [the rest of the team walk away]
- JC: [picks up his board] And you were doing so well too. [walks away]
- Mr. McMahon: I told you from the start this kid's trouble. He almost got the chicken killed. That would have been on you, JC.
- JC: Cody's not like that, Mr. McMahon. He just got carried away competing with Tank. That guy's been acting like a jerk the whole time.
- Mr. McMahon: I wanted to know how Cody deals with his problems since you thought he was special. And now I know. We're a team, JC. That kid doesn't care about anything other than winning. And he doesn't give two sand crabs about who gets in his way. Maybe that's what you saw in him back at Pen Gu. Have you thought about that?
- JC: Lani, wait! [Lani stops and turns around] I think you gotta let Cody work things out on his own. He'll come back when he's ready.
- Lani: But how can you be sure?
- JC: I've been where he's at. Trust me, he just need time to think.
- [Lani steps down]
- Mr. McMahon: Alright, here's how this works. Don't panic, work as a team, and keep an eye out on each other. And we'll all make it through this.
- Tank "The Shredder" Evans: Whoa!
- Hunter: Here we go, Tank. This is your last test. Mr. McMahon thinks you're a yellow-bellied coward. But I told him...
- Tank "The Shredder" Evans: What?
- Hunter: ...you were the real deal. Don't let me down, Tank. Or we'll all die.
- Mr. McMahon: Do not, I repeat, do not go rogue out there. We're all counting on each other. Got it?
- Cody Maverick: [walks on sand] Dude, what is this?
- Undertaker: [eats some sand] The taste...of death. This is crushed whale bones. I should move here!
- JC: That Tank guy is ridiculous! He's like a cartoon villain. Why did you let Hunter bring him?
- Mr. McMahon: Everyone is here for a reason. I wanna see how the rest of the newbies deal with him. [pause] You still think Cody has what it takes?
- JC: Look, Mr. McMahon, I know he wiped out out there, but he's a good surfer. Just give him a chance.
- Mr. McMahon: I'm not talking about surfing! [referring to Cody] I've been watching him. I think he's a bit of a hothead. He might want this too much.
- JC: Don't worry about it. He's just like me at that age. He'll be cool.
- Mr. McMahon: Alright, we'll see.
- [Cody and JC are waxing the surfboards, Cody is in a rage from Tank cutting him off]
- JC: Dude, Cody, we're just tryna wax the boards, not set 'em on fire. You're gonna burn a hole in that thing.
- Cody: Ugh! Tank cheated. He knocked me off my board. That's why we lost.
- JC: Yeah? I didn't see anything. You sure?
- Cody: He totally rubbed it in my face. He practically admitted to it!
- JC: That's messed up, man. But you know what? Maybe let it go. It's not worth getting all bent out o' shape about. We had an awesome day, right? Were those dunes gnarly or what?
- Cody: Yeah, that was pretty epic. And I get to ride with you guys! It still feels pretty surreal. I mean, like, I can't believe this is actually my life right now, y'know? I just... I just wish that I hadn't let you down.
- JC: Let me down? What are you talking about? Look, man, there are plenty of jerks out there. If it's not Tank, it'll be somebody else. Just take the high road. You'll be a lot happier, I promise.
- Cody: Alright, man. You got it. [he and JC high-five each-other]
- Mr. McMahon: Cody Maverick, you're one bodacious surfer. But even more importantly, a good dude. On behalf of the Hang 5, we'd be honored to have you join us.
- Chicken Joe: [waves his hand in a gesture] Gnarly.
- [pause for a moment's contemplation]
- Cody: Joining the Hang 5 would be the biggest honor of my entire life. But I-I have to decline.
- Hang 5: [shocked] No!
- Lani: Wait, what?
- Chicken Joe: Dude, are you sure?
- Cody: Yeah, bro, I am. All this time, I thought joining the Hang 5, the greatest surf team, would make me a somebody, a winner that everyone respected. [turns to his friends] But now I know I'm already a part of a great team, [referring to Chicken Joe] with the coolest chicken of the sea, [referring to Lani] and the best, raddest surfer on Pen Gu.
- Chicken Joe: [confused] Tank? [Lani hugs Cody] Oh, right, yeah.
- Undertaker: Friendship is truly the universe's...most precious gift.
- Paige: But what does this mean for us? Now we're 1 member short.
- Mr. McMahon: I'm staying! [laughs]
- Paige: [excitedly] Really?!
- Mr. McMahon: Yeah, our adventures our too much fun. Who wants to just drink fish milk coladas on the beach all day anyways? [gets an idea] Hey, you guys know what we've never done before? Surf during a tsunami! Who's up for it?! [the Hang 5 cheer]
Outtakes
[edit]- Tank: You should learn to surf from a real master. Right, gang?
- Acolytes: Yes, sensei. [they fall like dominoes]
- [a trophy falls on Tank's foot]
- Tank: Ow! [hops away painfully]
- Lani: I'll also teach you about teamwork and proper surf etiquette.
- [Cody and Tank are fighting in the background]
- Interviewer: Okay, cut!
- Cody: [as Tanks constantly slaps him on the head] Wait, stop! Stop!
- Hunter: [comes in and whacks Tank with his board] Yeah! Whoo! [Lani looks back and shrugs]
- Mr. McMahon: We'll be there in four, three, two... [a hermit crab grabs his head] Oh! Oh!
- Chicken Joe: I picked this up for you while I was on tour. [hands Cody a scrolled poster]
- Cody: Aw, thanks, Joe!
- Chicken Joe: I know how much you like these... [Cody opens the scroll, revealing a selfie of Chicken Joe, and laughs] Oh! Um...
- Cody Maverick: Undertaker, quick, give me a boost!
- [Undertaker throws him at a palm tree]
- Cody Maverick: Agh!
- [The coconuts from the tree fall on him]
