Copper Mountain (1983 TV Movie)
7/10
Fun time capsule of 80s skiing
23 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This is a Canadian tv movie that was 100% a dramatic infomertial to get Canadians to stay at the defunct Club Med at Copper Mountain in Colorado. There's no plot, it's just to show you around how things work there. It's bizarre and a lot of fun under the influence if you know what you're getting into. Lines like "This place is way better than Whistler!!". The acting is clearly staff and ski professionals so it's horrible and hysterical. Jim and Allen do a buddy thing that's cringe but again entertaining with a good buzz. Enjoy and don't expect a real movie.

Disappointed.

I really wanted to like this so much. The poster was great, the trailer was great, the theme song was great, I met the director and he was super nice and cool. I really, really wanted to like this so much but it was horrible. Love '80s horror and am very cool with those that want to recapture that era. But sadly, most just miss the root of what made it great, and this is one of them.

To get tot he point, this film has a collection of bad actors trying hard to camp it up and be bad actors. So the film is like watching a nerd snarf milk out of his nose endlessly.

The magic of crap '80s cinema is that the actors were genuinely not great, but that's why these films are awesome. When you have bad actors trying to camp it up and be bad actors it's totally lost. Brad's a good guy and will definitely check out his next flick. His heart is in the right place but the direction on this is sadly, off.

80s trash gold!

Warning: Spoilers
First half of the movie is long drawn out recap of first film. Then Eric Freeman is allowed to shine with his bugged out eyes, crazy Cadbury kids eyebrows, delicious overacting, and possibly filmdom's most unconvincing maniacal laugh. Ever see a guy at the gym that looks like steroids have made him partially retarded? Put a santa suit on him and you got the idea of what's happening here. He really was a star pupil at the "ues your eyebrows" school of acting. If the jaw moves then eyebrows must rise and fall. Then horrible actors with crazy 80s hair get killed in not very suspenseful and not very gory ways. I'd say this is 80s direct to video greatness, however I do remember this getting a very short theatrical release.

Oh, also remember when all the late 80s slashers killers had to drop awkward one liners a-la Freddy? That's here too and framed beautifully with a sexy synth sore to boot! One more thing I almost forgot. A Gremlin car is flipped and blown up. No, really I'm serious. It's not my fault you just snarfed on the keyboard it's really in the film.

This is where Troma went wrong...

I love the original Class.... and also love the original Toxic Avenger. It's a fine line, but but they crossed it and went to cheesy and annoying. The lead is VERY annoying as is most of this movie. The Toxie sequels are kind of on the same lines as this...but back on track now with Toxie 4. I wish they'd do a sequel to Class like they did with Toxie 4 and disregard the crap fest sequels. Again there's a fine line between cheesy fun and annoying crap. This is annoying crap. Lloyd hit the mark again with Toxie 4, and I wish he'd do Class the same justice!! He can do it, I have faith! The second and third of this series are no fun stinkers. There's all the stapled of great exploitation here, but it's just not fun. Lloyd please make this right!!!
