Rating:  - Good old movie
When it came out I was just graduating high school and I wanted to see it.
Rating:  - Greatest ski-bum movie of all time!
This movie will make you want to move to a ski town, like I did. Loaded with great quotes, like "nice run, were you on 'shrooms or what?". The DVD does not have alot of extras, unfortunately, but still worth having. Awesome view of the "good ole days" of skiing, BEFORE snowboards!
Rating: - An Oscar-snubbed classic that's fun for the whole family!
Not on zis side, not on zat side, but right in ze middle!!!! This film was snubbed by the Academy in virtually every award category. Most grievously, it should have won Best Picture... for the following reason at least... it is the only film in history in which a man named Squirrel gets a BJ from a beautiful woman in a gondola ski lift! Add into that the great ski action and nudity, and you have an all time classic for the ages. It is THE gold standard in film! It features stunning action shots of masterful skiing... along with sexually perverted and staggeringly juvenile humor. Most importantly, it features generous portions of upper-body adult adult female nudity including gratuitous sex scenes that do very little to advance the plot! It's great! Anyone want the drink called the 'leg spreader? The actors convincingly portray professional ski champions. Our ski hero is the classic, talented unknown coming from the rural, country music listening rednecky parts of Idaho. Rudolph Garmitsch is a prick, and an formidable and egotistical Euro-villian you just love to hate! David Naughton plays a convincing hard-partying, good-at-heart older ski pro who acts as encourager to our younger American talent. Do I even need to mention the beautifully shot wet t-shirt contest at the redneck bar or the beautifully shot and intense skiing action that is the Chinese Downhill? Alcohol consumption occurs at parties, in bars and on the slopes, and fun shenanigans ensue! This is a true American classic that should have swept the awards ceremonies that year, but the snotty, stuck-up Academy wasn't ready for a film of this gravity. Shame on them. Shame on them! At least us true film autuers can appreciate the genius of it. Support this film by showing it to as many people as possible. Sooner or later, a much bigger chunk of world will catch on to what it has been missing! No more unjustified war for oil or imperialistic political control. Just booze, boobs, humor and skiing. Dare to dream for the best of all possible worlds! If you haven't seen this, get ready to live! Buy a copy immediately!
P.S. to MGM - Get us the widescreen version fast! Don't insult us with only releasing the full screen version. Stop with the full screen BS on any movie. We don't want to see our films chopped up, and non-widescreen TVs are going away fast. Most serious film watchers (including me) disgustedly turned away from the pan-and-scan crap at least 15 years ago. You brainless schmucks! Get with it!
Rating: - My Youth On DVD.
My purchase was outstanding. I had been looking for this video for quite some time but no one had it. I was told by other place that is was no longer in print. I am showing my age because this was my life in highschool. Thank you Amazon.
Rating: - The real deal
This is the real deal. This is a lifestyle movie, a period movie, a feel-good movie, an escapist fantasy, and a hard nosed dose of reality.
The extensive nudity was was gratuitous and exploitive when the movie was a current release, and is still gratuitous and exploitive today. Because of this responsible adults won't promote the movie to the people who would otherwise benefit most from the movie. Those are early adolescents who need to see adult role models skiing well and skiing responsibly.
That said, it would be a different movie from a different era if any part of it was changed.
This movie is about aspiration, hope, and America's place in the world. Children need to know that if you can ski well you can become the president in this great nation. And what better place to ski well than Squaw Valley, and what better era to ski well in than the early 1980s, and who better to ski well with than Rob Herby, Scott Schmidt and Shannon Tweed.
I am going to check my skis right now (September).
