Summary: Finally!! I thought I'd never see this on DVD
Review: Hot Dog, the Movie.. Best good time ski movie, period. I wore out the VHS tape watching this one. After watching it about 200 times, I confess it is not a grand hollywood masterpiece, but it is a classic in its own right, a one of a kind. It is absolutely a must see every ski season, not to mention it has more quotable lines then the godfather... I can't wait to see Harkin "snake legs" Banks tear up the moguls, Dan make his 'leg spreader", Squirrel take his gondola ride cocktail, and Rudy have his breakfast 'sunny side up, sunny side down... ', and how can I forget, Sylvia's ski pointers. If DVD's can burn out, I am sure this one will.

Summary: Fantastic movie, but...
Review: I love this movie. It's fantastic. This movie has everything one could desire in a trashy ski comedy. Nudity, comic violence, cheesy villians, and, of course, CHINESE DOWNHILL!!! However, I will NEVER buy this DVD until it is available as a widescreen feature. Especially a movie with such cinematic ski scenes; the producers (in their infinite wisdom) have chosen to release it as a pan-and-scan edition. WHY? Why do these things happen to good DVD's? I've seen it before. Companies release bargain (read: cheap) DVD's to sell quickly, but do not bother to re-master the movies properly. Warner Brothers did a lot of this sort of thing in the early days of DVD, they just churned out movies that were popular 5 - 10 years ago hoping for some rejuvenation. I just cannot buy a feature that has a 1.33:1 ratio unless it was originally in that format (such as a TV programme). By the way, make sure to check out the South Park episode, Asspen, which skewers Hot Dog...the Movie and many other sports movies from the 80's. Keep fighting against fullscreen releases of movies!!!
If they really want a fullscreen version, they can release BOTH.

Summary: Pretty good, for some reason.
Review: I really feel kinda guilty for enjoying this movie - the acting was terrible, the ski scenes were good but they sped up the film and tilted the camera in spots to make it look more dangerous, Shannon Tweed was pretty but looked totally plastic... and yet I still find myself quoting the "stay out of ze middle" and "Chinese Downhill" lines every so often. As "Summer Fun" films go, this is one of the better ones. Not something I pull out very often but still amusing - though I've never been quite sure why.

Review: I watched this movie all summer during junior high when it premiered on HBO. Absolutley irreverent, sexist and hilarious. Things that are missing in comedy movies these days

Review: If you've seen this movie, you'll appreciate the title (if it doesn't get edited) Definately the best ski movie of ALL TIME! You want to get in the mood for a rockin' sexy, adventurous ski season, HOT DOG will get you in gear. It's hilarious, steamy, packed with HOT SKI action, and the godess, Shannon Tweed. Squirrel Murphy will live on forever, as the ultimate ski god. A muist have for any serious ski bum! M - you gotta see ths one before your first lesson:)

Summary: Boss cool flick.
Review: My Parisian friend G and his brother A first introduced me to this groundbreaking cinema tour de force last year ('01.) They really built it up to be like this great ski movie that really, like, gets you pumped and rocked out to get all jammed up for the ski season and what not. G&A set the expectations really high and the flick met and exceeded every one of those really high expectations and stuff. We then got all reefed up and went out and had these fat pork chops at the local tavern and talked about doggin' it like they did in the flick and then A mixed his black and tan and it morphed all over the table so G got all bent out of shape and then polished off his chops before anyone even knew what happened. We were all like, "Dude, like, where'd you're pork chops go?" And G was all like "Save it, dudes. Let's order some more and what not." We went back to the ranch and got all madded out and rapped more about this really kicked out situated flick. It definitely rocks the hizous especially when you're all madded, reefed up with chops and icy black and tans with no other situations to worry about except rockin' it on the slopes like they did in this righteous biblical proportioned flickerz.
