Hot Dog…The Movie is a comedy ski film released in January 1984. The film went on to gross over $17 million and became one of the iconic comedies of the 1980s. Some of the film's popularity stems from the party culture of the ski circuit combined with several quality nude scenes, most notably from Shannon Tweed. The film stars Patrick Houser as Harkin Banks, a young and ambitious freestyle skiier from Idaho who is determined to prove himself in a freestyle skiing competition at Squaw Valley. Along the way he teams with a pack of fun-loving incorrigibles , picks up an Austrian... arch-nemesis named Rudi , and enters a love triangle with a pair of blondes, a young woman named Sunny and the more mature Sylvia Fonda . Janet Maslin, writing in the New York Times, gave a generally positive review, describing the film as "light and less moronic than it might have been.
