On this day, January 13, 1984, Hot Dog… The Movie, a classic 80s teen comedy, premiered in theaters. This raucous film starred David Naughton, Patrick Houser, Tracy N. Smith, and Shannon Tweed in a ski-themed romp filled with outrageous humor, over-the-top stunts, and romantic entanglements.

The film follows a young skier, played by Patrick Houser, who travels to a competition at Squaw Valley and gets caught up in a rivalry with a snooty European champion. Known for its mix of comedy, romance, and action-packed skiing sequences, Hot Dog… The Movie became a cult classic, celebrated for its carefree 80s vibe.

Fun Fact: None of the lead actors could actually ski, so stunt doubles performed all the impressive skiing sequences in the movie!

Trivia Question: Which 80s comedy famously featured Shannon Tweed as a Playboy Playmate before her role in Hot Dog… The Movie?
