Sizzle Beach, U.S.A., also known as Malibu Hot Summer, is a 1981 independent film directed by Richard Brander, and starring Terry Congie, Leslie Brander, Roselyn Royce, and Kevin Costner in his film debut. It was filmed from 1978 to 1979. Troma re-released the film in 1986.
Costner was reportedly uncomfortable when filming a sex scene in the film. In the late 1980s, Costner tried to buy the rights to the film so he could keep it out of public view, but Troma Entertainment declined his offer.
In 1993, it was referenced in the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode Alien from L.A., but was never parodied on any incarnation of the show itself.
