Great 80's Movie

This is a classic 80's movie, it is about time it was put to DVD June 27, 2008

Greatest example of the genre

If you're looking at this page, you probably have a good idea of what this movie is about already. Its your basic buddy film in the snow, where the wacky off beat type guys beat the evil ski nazis at their own game. This movie had that balance between funny and over the top and stupid, which was lost in the sequel. This film has the charm that the makers of the sequel lost by, as per usual, trying to go farther and going too far. If you're into '80s and '90s style B movies, this is one you should have.

Classic ski movie

Great fun, I had waited a long time to see this on DVD but unfortunately just like when Hot Dog came out a few years ago it is only on bloody full screen. Oh well, still a fun movie.

Time for another game of "Who's underware is that" with your host Fitz... October 19, 2007

Great Movie! .... Flawed DVD

I have been a huge fan of Ski School since it first came out, and have been patiently waiting for the day it came out on DVD. That being said, I have some complaints about this DVD.

First off and this is a big one. The dvd is NOT IN WIDESCREEN as advertised on Amazon, and on the back of the DVD itself. This is a huge disappointment.

They also created a new cover for reasons beyond comprehension. The VHS version used the original movie poster Ski School

The cursor on the menu screen is very difficult to see. For that matter the entire menu interface is very amateurish. There are also no special features of any kind. Since this movie was never a high budget affair we can excuse these minor annoyances.

Falsely advertising the movie as widescreen when in fact it's Pan/Scan is however, unforgivable. I doubt they wanted to go through the expense of remastering the movie in widescreen when they had the 4:3 VHS version sitting there. So, I'd bet the widescreen listing on the case is an oversight, but it should have been caught long before the DVD went into production.

The only positive thing I can say about the DVD version of Ski School is the quality is much better than my old VHS copy. September 16, 2007
