This movie was ok....15 years ago when it was called Ski Patrol


This movie was terrible. It's entire plot was ripped from an old 80's movie called Ski Patrol. Ski Patrol wasn't that great but at least it had the excuse in being made in the culture of bad 80's movies. I remember it entertained me as a kid at least. As if that wasn't bad enough....they rip/parody off the plot of Casablanca, one of the best movies ever made. Bad, bad film. Not funny. Lame jokes. Terrible acting. The only bright spot...Lee Majors. He was pretty funny.

I remember Ski Patrol. It was really lame funny, like most 80's movies were. But I have to admit I liked this movie. It was stupid humor which is just what you need some days.

i liked it also, wonder why the film affected buddy so much he had to bash it. ????Guess the world needs EEyores too.

This one was better.

Just wanted to point out that, according to its own imdb page, Ski Patrol was a 1990 film that was some sort of 80's parody. I agree that Out Cold is exactly the same move as Ski Patrol, but if a person wanted to watch a DVD where the cool kids defend a mountain against the corporate jerkoffs, Out Cold is the best option, as Ski Patrol appears to be only available on VHS.

Jason London was not in 'Ski Patrol', so how could it possably be better? That cannot be.

If you really want to see the original, see Hot Dog the movie. Great ski flick.

reply

Yeah, when I saw it I drew comparisons to "Hot Dog" more than "Ski Patrol".

I like it better now that it was made after Ski Patrol, which wasn't really that funny considering that's a simple genre. "Out Cold" delivers all the right laughs and stupid sight gags with economy and originality.

I love how original the title is. The whole, "This was better when it was called..." Never seen it before. You're the man. You and the thousand others that tried that joke.

Not like Ski Patrol wasn't a copy either. It's just one of a string of slacker comedies where they just change the actors and the sport. Heck, try to be serious and make it break dancing and you have Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo.

I loved it when it was called Ski School
