Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The character of David Marshack was originally scripted, and played out as David Marshall. However, feeling the name was too bland, Marshall was dubbed over with Marshack; unfortunately, the mouth movements of the other characters do not hide this fact as well as the director would have liked. Nor were the visual cues changed: at just under 1 hour into the film, the place card for David Marshall can be clearly seen on the leader board, just as Marshack slides to a halt beneath it. more

Cult Classic!, 24 December 2003
Author: (barrydomineyjr@hotmail.com) from sydney, australia

Sure, this flick would never be an Oscar contender, but does anyone really give a flying monkey! The important thing is that you can sit back, view this mayhem, and chuckle yourself into convulsions! Rising star of the slopes John E. Roland (Tom Breznahan, brother of Kevin and star of horror flicks such as The Brain (1988), Twice Dead (1988) and Mirror, Mirror (1990)), winds up in the infamous section 8, a collection of party animals led by Dave Marshack (a very amusing Dean Cameron - why this guy never became famous beats the hell out of me?), who is far more interested in beer and babes - who wouldn't be!!!, rather than being the saint of the slopes. Along with other members Ed (Patrick Labortyeaux, brother of Matthew) and "Fitz" Fitgerald (who equally matches Dean Cameron is the comedy department, who, too, deserves more these days), they set out to claim the mountain and win the annual event when they learn they're being forced out of their accommodation, due to their rowdy nature. Throw in some gorgeous females, most notably the stunning Charlie Spradling (wife of Jason London), and you have all the ingredients of a cult classic. Sadly, only Dean Cameron was to return for the sequel, due to financial difficulties. He, alone, makes the sequel worthwhile. So, settle in one evening, grab some beer and pizzas, then sit back and take in this madcap flick!
