Gees, how many of these films, do they have to have. I'm talking about 4 horny guys or 4 horny girls, on vacation, who get up to misadventures. And if you're lucky you will see actors of worth, like our maniac cop Robert D'zar, the apple of a wife's eye here. The movie's song that plays through the movie and at it's sudden ending has just one unforgettable tune, I loved. It still rings in my head. I love these 80's type movies, thanks to my friends at Golan Globus. This one is quite extra raunchy, with 4 guys trying to lose their virginity as I recall, or was that another movie. I'll never forget the Swedish chick in this with the big.... and playing violin. This is a little bit raunchy or may'be I'm a little horny, or may'be it's like so many other films, e.g. Where The Boys Are, Spring Break, The Pom Pom Girls, The Beach Girls, I could go on. And no this is not de javu. It's not Hot Resort, it's Hot Chilli, and it's a little hotter. An excuse for a sex romp with T and A: A grade prime trim. But like one of these sex films of sub standard quality, you see one, you have to see the others. You have been warned.

Hot Chili
BandSAboutMovies14 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
William Sachs may have made There Is No 13, The Incredible Melting Man, Van Nuys Blvd., Galaxina and Exterminator 2, but he may be better known for his ability to script doctor and save movies. Hot Chili is another film he directed and co-wrote with Joseph Golden, who is actually producer and Cannon boss Menahem Golan.
This may remind you of Hot Resort, which has an incredibly similar plot, but then again, teen sex comedies were big money makers and dear to the heart of Cannon, who had ridden a wave from Israel to Los Angeles on the profits of Lemon Popsicle.
Then again, you'd also be forgiven if you think this may be another film, seeing as it rips off a Lemon Popsicle sequel Private Popsicle, as well as the songs from Breakin' and Rappin', because I guess if Cannon pays for something once, they just own it, a trick ad agencies and their clients have been trying to do for years.
Four guys - Ricky (Charlie Stratton, Munchies), Jason (Allan Kayser, Bubba from Mama's Family), Arney (Joe Rubbo, The Last American Virgin) and Stanley (Chuck Hemingway, Neon Maniacs) - get summer jobs at a Mexican resort but are forbidden from having sex with the guests and therefore must have sex with the guests.
It's a typical 80s teen sex movie, but what are the factors that may cause you to watch this?
Perhaps it's the charms of Taaffe O'Connell, who you may recall was assaulted by a worm in one of the most repellant scenes in film history in Galaxy of Terror, a scene during which the one-ton prop nearly crushed her. Or could it be Victoria Barrett, who is Cannon's Hot Resort, Over the Brooklyn Bridge, Three Kinds of Heat and American 3000?
Or, if you're like me, do you love when Ferdy Mayne and Robert Z'Dar are in movies you don't expect them to be in?
I'm trying to figure out why so many Golam and Globus-related sex comedies have female music teachers that like to have sex. It's a common theme in so many of them. What is not is everyone's sexual hijinks being recorded and later shown during breakfast, including Jason's parents, a senior swinging couple and a BDSM duo from Germany.

Hot Chili is a very ridiculous teen sex comedy that provides some enjoyment if you're in the mood
tavm7 July 2023
Ever since I saw a VHS tape cover of this very movie, I've long been curious to see this especially since it never played in theatres in Baton Rouge, LA, where I lived as a teen then and I still do now. It's from Cannon Films as represented by producers Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus, the same people who remade their Israeli-made Lemon Popsicle into The Last American Virgin. Two players from that last one-Joseph Rubbo and Louisa Moritz-also appear here. Rubbo is one of four teens taking a job at a Mexican resort where they encounter many willing women. I'll stop there and just say the whole thing was silly and ridiculous to the extreme with plenty of predictable stereotyped-characters and occasionally sentimental moments that would either go down easily or just make one wish it was over very soon! I myself felt both emotions several times while looking at the timer on YouTube. I'm guessing this didn't do particularly well as no one in this film seem to have gone on to anything better...
Teenage Sex Comedy in Mexico
SMK-314 August 1998
In many respects, Hot Chili is a typical teenage sex comedy: lots of T&A, lots of slapstick humour, lots of ridiculed adults, some destroyed property, and a little bit of teenage romance to give our heros a more likeable personality.
The story resolves around 4 American (male) teenagers who go to Mexico for a holiday job in a hotel. Needless to say they also try to get laid and succeed in that ambition. Of course, they have to overcome some difficulties, like escaping the claws of the blood-and-sex thirsty dominatrix Brigitte or avoiding being shot by her jealous husband.
The film does not it take itself seriously for one minute and that alone makes it a lot more watchable than most films of this genre. The comedy element is unsophisticated but in its own way appropriate. Hot Chili does not really have any sex scenes but plenty of nudity and suggested sex. The acting honours go to people in supporting parts who deliver their one-liners quite nicely: "First I kill Salami boy, then I'll play the drums. "
Still, Hot Chili is a film directly aimed at young (about 14 to 24) male viewers; it has little to offer for a wider audience.

A Dull and Humorless Teenage Sex Comedy
Uriah4327 June 2020
This film begins with four teenagers by the names of "Ricky" (Charles Schillaci), "Jason" (Allan Kayser), "Arnie" (Joe Rubbo) and "Stanley" (Chuck Hemmingway) driving down to Mexico to work at a Mexican resort for the summer. Naturally, being red-blooded American teenagers they are preoccupied with sex but once they get there are told that they cannot fraternize with the hotel guests. As it turns out, however, it's the guests who have a different set of rules with some of them quite anxious to bend the rules. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this could have been a fun, teenage sex comedy but it lacked the necessary humor and direction required for a movie of this sort. Quite frankly, other than the presence of Victoria Barrett (as "Victoria"), Bea Fiedler (as the "Music Teacher") and Katherine Kriss ("Allison Baxter") to enhance the scenery, I couldn't find anything remarkable or worthwhile about this film and I have rated accordingly.
Another Golan-Golbus classic.
BlackJack_B2 September 2006
This was a pleasant blast from the past. The Golan-Golbus Israeli sex comedies have always been a more distinctive lot than the American, French or British ones. These films are the ones where you turn your brain off and just watch the zany situations offered up.
Yes, it's another 1980's retread of Porky's but the GG Touch is evident here to make it all seem fresher. Where else but in a GG-produced film can you see the lovely Louisa Moritz, the forgotten sex kitten from Cuba? Where else can you see crazy characters like the dominatrix couple from Germany, the nude musician and the stereotypical Jewish family from New York all in one hotel? The acting is pretty bad but it's done in a very watchable manner. Nobody comes off as annoying or anything like that. There's plenty of nice T&A here as well but is considered tame for 2006; especially for Canadian T.V.
The real star of the movie is the hotel. The Hacienda Tropicana Cabana is the coolest fictional resort I've ever seen in a movie. It has swimming pools galore, exquisite suites, a fancy restaurant, a piano bar with live Mexican entertainment, plenty of hotties, a chapel and live bullfighting. The cool addition of a bullring made me feel that all the HTC needed is a casino and they could have a winner on their hands in Las Vegas.

A film every hormone crazed teenager should see
Dasha17 August 1999
I watched this film with about four of my friends and it became an instant classic among us. The tits and ass became famous in my high school class room. Thanks hot chilli for an absolutely terrible film with lots of tits and ass.
Vair are you Salami Boy?
Chase_Witherspoon9 January 2010
When a quartet of high school graduates take on jobs at a Mexican resort, in lieu of the traditional summer vacation, they hope to take advantage of some residual fringe benefits as the assortment of oddball guests pile in for the season. What follows is a fun, brainless romp of sex and adultery, typical of the soft-porn comedies that were a fad of the eighties.
Think "Porky's", "Meatballs", "Private Lessons" or "Joysticks", multiply the debauchery tenfold, and you'll come close to "Hot Chili". The guests are diverse, and their characterisations honed for maximum ham value, incorporating some cracker dialogue that won't soon be forgotten. There's Herr Fritz (Bromilow), the Ruger-clutching Bavarian chasing fat boy Arney (Rubbo) around the resort screaming "where are you salami boy?" after he catches him with his nymphomaniac Frau Brigitte, herself incessantly moaning "I am bekomming!" as she climaxes at every given opportunity.
But if that's not austere enough for your moral compass, you might prefer the nudist music instructor (Fiedler) always willing to give intimate cello lessons to visitors, or, the sleazy hotel manager (Lazarus) who's too busy chasing tail to notice his establishment has become a brothel in which the randy guests are knocking each other off like guinea pigs on heat. Unbeknownst to them all, their sordid escapades are being covertly taped, and a litany of affairs is exposed in an hilarious highlight reel at the film's conclusion.
Louisa Moritz might be the cast's biggest name (Ferdy Mayne's role is very brief), which gives you an idea of the scale, although Federico Gonzales is particularly amusing as the sleepy taco, with little interest in the promiscuous activity of the guests.
Obviously if you're not accustomed to the teen sex comedy styling of the eighties, you might be offended by the content, although it's pretty tame by today's standards. William Sachs ("The Incredible Melting Man" being his piece de resistance) directs this tongue-in-cheek tale with little attention to narrative, poring maximum emphasis on T&A for the adolescent male audience to enjoy. If you were going to sample this genre from the 80's halcyon era, "Hot Chili" must certainly be mandatory viewing.

Cold Chili More Like It!
cutthroatproductions5 October 2002
Made by the folks at Cannon, this film is just a rehash, or should I say, rip-off of the brilliant Last American Virgin, The (1982), even featuring Joe Rubbo, who played the hapless David in the original. Four randy teens head to Mexico for the summer taking employment in a hotel resort, each of course, hoping to get women into the infamous sack. Plenty of T & A to keep the youthful ones happy, but really, it's no wonder why the teen sex comedy genre died in the ass!
Your typical 80's teensolpitation comedy "wild hotel" party movie
kingcasey_iii5 May 2022
Definatly one of those hit the bong, shrooms, alcohol and go back in time for 80's cinephiles of teenspolitation. 3 teens work as bellboys in a Mexican Hacienda resort over the summer and get into typical adventures on a quest to serve odd guests and their hedonistic sexual needs while trying to stay out of trouble and keep their jobs.
