Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJames Saito, who played Kendo, couldn't actually speak Japanese. He fooled the entire crew for the first three weeks. During an interview with Outside magazine in 2016, he said, "At the audition, they asked me if I could speak Japanese. I don't speak any of it, but all the guys at the table were white guys, so I thought they'd never know the difference. I just said any household words in Japanese that I knew from growing up. When I got the part, I had a friend translate my lines. But during the course of the shooting, my part got bigger, and so the director would say, 'Jimmy, can you say this?' And I'd go, 'Uh, yeah, sure. When are we gonna shoot?' And they'd say, 'About 30 minutes.' So I'd ski down to the lodge and call my friend. Every day I had like three Japanese-English dictionaries in my pockets and a whole list of things to say."
- GoofsWhen Dan challenges Rudy to the Chinese Downhill, he states, "Forty bucks a man, winner takes all." At the start of the race, the announcer says that the winner will get $2300. 2300 doesn't divide evenly by 40. Further, only about 26 racers can be seen at the start. That would make the grand total $1040.

Kendo Yamamoto: What the fuck is Chinese Downhill?
- Alternate versionsIn the Producer's Cut, Harkin comes back to his motel room feeling sad. He picks up his guitar and starts playing, Sunny (who left him after seeing him in the hot tub with Sylvia while she messed around with Rudi) walks in and he starts singing to Sunny. After he finishes, he asks if she has any requests. She tells him to kiss him on the cheek, they hug and forgive each other. This takes care of a plot hole in the theatrical cut where Sunny does not return to Harkin until the end of the aerials competition, and she starts celebrating with him as if nothing happened between them.
Featured review
First came "Birth of a Nation," "Intolerance" & "The Battleship Potemkin," and stars like Fairbanks Sr., Valentino, Gloria Swanson, Greta Garbo & Chaplin.
Next came sound and with it "Gone With the Wind," "Citizen Kane," & "Ben Hur." Garbo wanted to be alone, but Gable, Tracy, Cooper, Bogart, Wayne & Hepburn didn't.
Cinema was evolving. An art form was created.
Then came "Hot Dog ... The Movie."
David Naughton wasn't Paul Muni, John Garfield or Claude Rains, but he was like-ably talented.
And incredible babes Tracy Smith, Shannon Tweed and Crystal Smith weren't in the Myrna Loy / Claudette Colbert / Jean Arthur ranks - but then these gorgeous girls d a lot more, and show a lot more than Myrna, Claudette or Jean ever dreamed.
It's good vs. evil plot pitting the hero vs. the bad guy is classic - and, in it's own incredible T&A B movie fest, so is "Hot Dog...The Movie."
