Forget a throwback Thursday, how about a vintage summer with Back To The Beach gearing up to celebrate its 35th anniversary. It’s more than just a traditional drop, there’s ample behind the scenes content from never-before-seen moments to on-set looks.

Back To The Beach is heading to 4K

The gang is back for all types of mid-80’s nostalgia. Whether it’s those bad kids or wanting to channel your inner 80’s baby, there’s ample reasons to get into the zone with this celebratory drop.

Teen idols Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello returned to the big screen for a new surf-and-sand adventure with the hip, hilarious 80s update BACK TO THE BEACH, which was originally released on August 7, 1987.  To celebrate the film’s 35th anniversary, the delightful romp will arrive on Blu-ray for the first time as part of the Paramount Presents line on August 9, 2022 from Paramount Home Entertainment.

Newly remastered from a new 4K scan of the original film elements, BACK TO THE BEACH is a fan-favorite cult classic that lovingly parodies the quintessential 60s “beach party” films.  Frankie and Annette, having grown up and put aside their beach-partying lifestyle, visit their daughter in Southern California and discover there's still some wild times left in them.  Along for the fun in the California sun are a host of familiar faces: Connie Stevens, Dick Dale, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Don Adams, Bob Denver, Jerry Mathers, Barbara Billingsley, Edd “Kookie” Byrnes, and Pee-Wee Herman.

It’s all about the true filmmaker appreciation

If you watch movies and TV shows for more than the on-screen content, you’ll appreciate what else comes with this Back To The Beach rollout. There’s also a director feature connecting you to a deep dive into the film’s essence plus giving you the Digital HD option for taking the show - er, movie - on the road.

The Paramount Presents Blu-ray of BACK TO THE BEACH includes a brand-new Filmmaker Focus with director Lyndall Hobbs featuring never-before-seen home movies from the set, as well as access to a digital copy of the film.  The Blu-ray is presented in collectible packaging featuring a foldout image of the film’s theatrical poster and an interior spread with key movie moments.
