Description

When a hopeful young American hot-dogger goes pole-to-pole with an arrogant Austrian pro, the snow really starts to fly! But as hot as it is on the mountain, it gets even hotter off when the pro's ex-girlfriend (Tweed) sets her eyes on the new blood. Who'll win the competition and the girl? Only a race to end all races can determine which skier can really cut the mustard!

Howling good fun!!.......2007-04-06

The Movie that made me WANT to be a Skier!! I love this Movie!! Is it Oscarworthy? Not even close. But for just good escapist fun, there are not many movies that are better than this one. Yes, it is far more likely to appeal to Guys than Gals due to the T&A component. But, there is also some substance here in the Movie in the Skiing sequences. The Producers were smart enough to use real skiers to do the skiing sequences and the skiers they got were GREAT!! After you see it, who will ever forget Robbie Huntoon's stunt of skiing through the Lodge at the end of the "Chinese Downhill". The Movie now comes across as dated in lot of ways, it is VERY early 80's!! From the Music to the Ski Equipment, to even the Sport of Freestyle Skiing. Whatever did happen to Ballet Skiing anyway? However, our Freeriders of today will enjoy the Aerial Competition, (Handled by Skier Jeff Chumas), and they will be amazed at how different Mogul Skiing is now compared to then.

Then there is the party hardy aspect to what is happening. Having been a Professional Ski Bum at one point in my life, (not too far after Hot Dog came out), I can tell you they got the partying side of skiing RIGHT!!!

David Naughton does a terrific job in this movie. He also does much of the singing of the original songs that you hear in this movie. My favorite is "When you were mine". "American Werewolf in London" is a CLASSIC and in it's own way so is "Hot Dog the Movie".

I will tell you that if you are a Skier, and loved the wild raunchy side of the 80's this is a great Movie for you. If you like movies like "Bachelor Party" with Tom Hanks, you will love this movie.

It is what it is and to me "Hot Dog the Movie" is worth seeing ANYTIME!!!

Cheezy movie!.......2007-03-18

Viewed this movie alot in collage (Go Blue)! Great beer drinking movie with friends!

Ski Naked!.......2007-03-10

If you like to ski and party this is a classic. Not only are the ski scenes great, but if you've been around awhile you'll get a kick out of the equipment we use to use. My wife and I first went to Squaw Valley before we were married, and love to pick out places we remember. We watch this movie before every ski trip!

Classic.......2007-03-08

This is a classic for any hardcore skier or random Gen Xer. I remember my friend RENTED A VCR so we could watch it. Many, many classic lines in here, and gratuitous nudity galore.

What to watch before you ski the next day!.......2007-01-22

This movie is a classic! Used to watch it every friday night in the 80's before skiing the weekend in Tahoe. Since had lost the vhs tape. Could not beleive this is in DVD. The quality is not as high as it should be, you can tell it was taken from film to dvd and sound could be improved.

Cannot forget the International Chinese Downhill... and the song by Mitch Ryder "when you were mine" can't be found anywhere on line so this is your chance to get that classic sung by the Detroit Wheels.

Careful after watching this movie, your skiing ability will not actually increase but your enthusiasim for it will!

Good footage of Squaw Valley before the skate rink fell in and the awesome double diamond runs.

Amazing.......2007-05-17

My 15 month dauther loves Boohbah. Hot dog is her first Boohbah DVD and she loves it. There are three stories on the DVD and I like it because I can play all three if we have the time or just one if we only have a few minutes.

For anyone who hasn't seen Boohbah, it's not like other children's movies. It can be compared to Teletubies. I don't know why children like it but my dauther doesn't budge when the movie is one. I can actually enjoy a few minutes to myself.

Don't expect to "get it" as an adult but children love it.

My 2 year old neice LOVES boohbahs........2007-02-13

I can't keep my niece entertained for long periods of time. But this BoohBah dvd DID THE TRICK! She loves Boohbah's. I couldn't understand this DVD but she really, really interacts making noises back at the tv, and loves Boohbahs.

Awesome!!!.......2005-08-01

This is the greatest Boohbah DVD yet!!!! It completely blows the other Boohbah DVD's away in terms of acting and content. Buy this now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reminisicing.......2007-06-22

I remember coming home from Highschool back when Wishbone was still being aired on PBS and watching the episodes every afternoon with my little sister who, at the time, was about 10. She and I are both adults now and we both remember how much we loved watching the series after school. Because I think Wishbone was such a phenomenal show suitable for children of all ages I have been trying to purchase the DVDs for my daughter. I feel that she would enjoy, and benefit, from the love of literature that imaginative little dog has. This is definately something I recommend parents to invest for their children to open them up to the special gift of reading and to expose them to the blessings of great literature this vast planet has been given by talented writers.

Finally, Wishbone on DVD.......2004-07-27

Wishbone is a little Jack Russell terrier with a big imagination. He's the star of a wonderful PBS children's show that helps introduce kids to classic literature. In this episode he imagines himself to be Professor Otto Liedenbrock who leads his nephew on an incredible subterranean journey. I can't say enough about how wonderful the Wishbone TV series is. This little dog has more expression on his furry face than most Hollywood actors do today. The writing and acting is first rate. And of course Wishbone would be the first to tell you about the Emmy Award he received. Check this out, I hope it's the first of the entire 50+ episode series on DVD. It's a fantastic adventure for kids of all ages.

ROADKILL (DVD MOVIE)

Customer Reviews:

a fine example of Canadian cinema!.......2004-08-14

Roadkill is the first part of a loosely connected rock `n' roll/road movie trilogy by Canadian filmmaker Bruce McDonald. The movie was something of a breath of fresh air when it debuted because Canadian film had, up until then, been traditionally known as notoriously boring or, worse, derivative of American movies. McDonald managed to fuse the low budget aesthetics of the emerging U.S. indie film movement with a distinctively Canadian take on the road movie genre.

Extras include a nine-minute short film by McDonald called "Elimination Dance," starring McKellar as a man who attends a dance marathon with couples being eliminated for hilariously bizarre reasons like "anyone who's lost a urine sample in the mail."

Next up is another McDonald short film entitled "Fort Goof" that runs six and half minutes long. The director holds a casting call for a role in a movie. A roomful of women audition and give all kinds of different readings of the same lines of dialogue.

A small collection of behind-the-scenes photographs can be accessed in the "Photo Gallery" section.

Finally, the highlight of the supplemental material is an audio commentary by actor/screenwriter Don McKellar and the film's producer Colin Brunton. They fondly recount anecdotes about making the movie. This is a good track as both men talk constantly and impart a genuine enthusiasm and humour about their movie.

Roadkill is an excellent example of Canadian cinema. While it adopts a distinctly American genre like the road movie, it remains uniquely Canadian in content (except for the presence of Joey Ramone) and attitude. Bruce McDonald remains one of the unsung heroes of the Canadian film scene, often overshadowed by its more well-known figures, David Cronenberg, Atom Egoyan and Denys Arcand. McDonald has remained fiercely independent over the years, supplementing his film career with a prolific one in Canadian television. Roadkill is an excellent example of his early work and an engaging, entertaining movie in its own right.

eid ro evom.......2004-07-07

I first saw this movie on the cbc about 12 years ago or so. Then, in my late teens, it really had an affect on me. This is probably the best black and white, Canadian, rock and roll road movie you'll ever see. I think it still holds up after all these years.
The story follows Ramona, who works for a concert promoter, to northern Ontario. She's there to find the Children of Paradise and bring them back to Toronto so they can stop wasting the promoters money. Along the way she meets Don McKellar, a serial killer and Bruce MacDonald, a music video director. There's even a cameo from Joey Ramone.
The ending is a little goofy but I really like this movie. It's not for everyone, though. Fans of the late 80's independant movement (music and film) should take note.

Description

The only color film from cult director Jerry Warren (THE WILD WORLD OF BAT WOMAN (1966)), FRANKENSTEIN ISLAND stars genre vets John Carridine and Cameron Mitchell in a tale concerning a hot air balloon which crashes on a mysterious island. The castaways discover that the island is overrun with zombies and a strange race of Amazons, and at the center of it all is a distant relative of the Frankensteins--who is once again trying to create a being out of dead body parts. Renowned for its maniacal story and less-than-convincing special effects, this film has garnered a befuddled cult following.

Please, Don't Do THIS To Yourself!..........2006-04-21

Jerry Warren (Incredible Petrified World, Teenage Zombies) is to horror movie directing what Godzilla is to urban renewal! No one should have ever allowed him to pick up a camera, not even as a joke! FRANKENSTEIN ISLAND is quite possibly the nadir of all schlock-o-matic film-making. It's certainly the worst thing Warren himself ever unleashed upon us. Plot?? Well, 4 bumpkins crash their hot-air balloon into the ocean, only to wash ashore on the title island. They are soon joined by alien babes in leopard-skin bikinis. So far so good. Alas, the fun ends there. 5 minutes into this 96 minute endurance test, we are treated to Cameron Mitchell as a captive sailor who knows nothing but how to quote Edgar Allen Poe stories. We meet Katherine Victor as Mrs. Frankenstein, bent on..., um, nothing in particular. We see her laboratory, complete w/ knobs, dials, bubbling chemicals, and a spinning bullet-box painted pink. John Carradine's head pops in and out, burbling things like "The golden thread! The power! The POWER!" over and over. His "role" in this hunk of poo is almost as embarassing as Bela's "Pull The String!" appearance in GLEN OR GLENDA! However, at least GOG was funny. FRANKENSTEIN ISLAND is so spectacularly dull, that I contemplated suicide, but decided I had to survive long enough to write this review! Oh yeah, there is a monster in this "movie". He showed up at the hour and twenty minute mark, long after I'd lost the will to live. So, please heed my warning! Do not subject yourself to this cinematic donkey turd! To equal it's effects in far less time, just stand in the toilet and stick your finger in a light socket. Aloha...

Awful.......2004-10-06

A hot air balloon crashes into an island occupied by an ancestor of Dr. Frankenstein - yes, it's as bad as it sounds.

My Brain Hurts!.......2004-02-02

I love bad movies, and am used to movies that hurt a lot, but this one even surpassed my high threshold of pain. I had to watch it in two viewings as I just couldn't take it after about the first hour. Brought to you by Jerry "Wild, Wild World of Batwoman" Warren, and his cast of regulars, with special guest 'appearance' by John Carradine, who, apparently, would be in absolutely anything. Here Carradine is in fine form as a disembodied head, which shrieks a lot, but seemingly has no other connection with the alleged plot. Katherine "Batwoman" Victor plays Sheila Frankenstein, and gets to wear the silliest wig I have ever seen. Also look out for a couple of the other Warren regulars from "Batwoman"; I don't know their names, but you will instantly recognize the voices as those of the two guys who worked at the 'Ayjax Development Corporation', in the Atomic Powered Hearing Aid Division. (If in the off chance you haven't seen "Batwoman", go get it at once: it is the film that defines Jerry Warren as a director.)

I really can't summarize the plot, and if you are familiar with Jerry Warren's film stylings, you know why: there is no plot. (There is WAY less plot here than his earlier "Batwoman" debacle.) I will just tell you that somehow involved in the storyline are: a balloon crash, the worst Frankenstein monster I have ever seen, girls in loincloths, idiot servant men in women's sunglasses, and a dog.

For bad movie aficionados this is a true treasure, and is not to be missed, for anyone else, forget it. There are a couple of bonus features, including an interview with Katherine Victor called "Hangin' With Sheila Frankenstein" in which she discusses the film, and wears the gaudiest ring I have ever seen in my life. She seems pretty funny and obviously enjoyed her part in this atrocity.

I almost gave this five stars for unending badness, but changed my mind, and only gave it four, on account of the headache it gave me. Go get it, and if you can fully comprehend the subtleties and nuances that I obviously missed, drop me a line.

Must see - Garbage.......2003-01-19

This is BY FAR... the worst movie I have ever seen. The movie makes no sense. This movie is SO BAD... you will be humiliated to think you actually sat and endured the movie... that is... if you have the courage to wait through the movie... and you will... because you will want to find out what's going on. You will get suckered into watching the whole movie only to find there is NOTHING there. Nothing... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING makes sense. It's a waste if celluloid. MUST SEE... because it will make every subsequent movie-watching experience a true joy.

So stupid, it's genius.......2002-10-25

I won't tell you the plot, even though you probably have a good idea that there really isn't one that makes sense. This is a wacky,wild movie with people getting stranded on the island, scientist gone mad, psycho henchmen, bikini clad beauties and yes, there is the monster, whoa! If you like classic low budget B-Movie madness, don't pass this one up. A real twisted gem. Only for people with a good sense of humour.
