Leave your thoughts about Hot Dog... The Movie.
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinIt's a beach party movie, marginally better than the average, with snow taking the place of surf. |
| User Reviewwill dI do not understand the harsh critique of this total classic, other than it's horrible title. Great fun!!! You'll be shouting at your screen for Harkin to win. |
| User ReviewChrisI grew up a ski racer. Hot dogging was just part of the gig. My brother and I watched this movie before every ski season. It was a right of passage. Frankly the story was week and the acting was bad but damnit it had plenty of gratuitous sex and ski scenes. "Whata in the fuka is a Chinese downhill" is still one of the funniest lines in any movie I have ever seen. :O) |
| User ReviewPeter Bif you like tits and skiing this movie is for you. |
| User ReviewRobbie JTITS EVERY WERE YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| User ReviewRob NThis was a highly unappreciated movie from the 80s and quite possibly the greatest skiing movie of all time, but only because I don't consider Better Off Dead to be a skiing movie. It's a relationship movie. Hot Dog: The Movie is a coming of age tale involving some bumpkin who wants to be a great freestyle ski jumper and gets mentored by an older drunk. And picks up some hot blond floozy who can't act. There's also a secondary plot of the good American skiers who are battling for control of the freestyle skiing competitions against evil European (yes, evil and European is redundant) which leads to the climactic finale where they fight it out with the Chinese Downhill. Skiing, drinking and beating Eurotrash. What more could you ask for in a movie? Oh, and Shannon Tweed is in it so there is female nudity galore. |
| User ReviewBrian MAmazing...Great acting with an even greater storyline makes this movie one of the best of all time. I quivered in delight at the funny jokes, and sultery sex scenes. My only regret is that the movie couldnt last forever. A+++++ |
| User ReviewScott WAwesome, the original hot tub time machine |
| User ReviewMitchell LVery funny low ball comedy with elements of good filmaking that show off expert skiing. Cast members play their parts with screw ball seriousness. |
