1 — Number of heart-shaped waterbeds featured

1 — Number of Kiss Ass Blasters performed in the movie

20 seconds — Length of the Kiss Ass Blaster montage

2 — Number of sporting events with no rules (Obvious one is the Chinese Downhill, but in the broomball scene as soon as it was declared no high sticking, that guy got popped in the jaw)

29 — Number of breasts either exposed, or nearly exposed during the infamous wet T-shirt contest, and Squirrel’s scene with the amply busted funitel passenger counts as one (This count was checked three times in slow-mo for accuracy)

1 — Number of girlfinders used to select contestants for the wet T-shirt contest

3 — Number of hot tub scenes

100 — Percent of campy dialogue that makes up the film

4 — Number of freestyle events Harkin Banks competes in against German rival Rudi Garmisch

4 — Number of times freestyle judges hosed Harkin in favor of Rudi

9 — Number of cheesy Eighties tunes listed on the movie soundtrack, including “Top of the Hill” performed by Clif Magness, and “Hungry Like the Wolf” performed by Duran Duran

1 — Number of years actual Hot Dog … the Movie 25th anniversary is off by (OK, we admit we’re trying to ignite a little controversy here, but if you look at the movie’s copyright date it’s 1983. That makes this year the 24th anniversary. But if we’re using the filming/production dates of the film, which are probably 1982, thereby putting this 25th anniversary in the clear).

Lift Status

Dear Obvious Tahoe Newcomer Kevin,

Please check your lift status -- there was no Funitel in 1982. In fact, I think the actual GONDOLA in the movie might have pre-dated the gondola that I knew, and loved, from my arrival in 1989. Z

So I meant Keith, not Kevin
