Screenwriter Mike Marvin announced that a sequel to the actor's 1984 comedy Hot Dog : The Movie is in the Works, reports Mountain News.
The original film fixed on Harkin Banks (Patrick Houser), a young Idaho farm kid who is also an ace at skiing. He is headed to the freestyle skiing championships in Squaw Valley, CA along with runaway Sunny. He meets his adversary in the form of Rudy, a self centered European skier who doesn't take a liking to Harkin or his new found friends, The Rat Pack, led by veteran Dan O' Callahan (Naughton).
Marvin says "Hot Dog : The Movie" "became a hit, a cult favorite, and one of the most successful low budget pictures in the 80's". He hopes to film the sequel in the same locale he shot its snowy predecessor.
