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.

Four American teens head to Mexico with hopes of getting laid while working the summer at a swank resort. It would appear that Mexico has a labour shortage and is filling the gap by hiring US students. Copious amounts of nudity but few laughs.

"Hot chili" is a movie about four teenage boys who work at a hotel as bus boys/room service attendants. The guests that stay are very horny older women so the tone of the movie is sexual. The four boys are victims of these guests' sexual conquests. Needless to say that virtually every scene involves a sexual overtone & every appearance of nudity has sexual tension the moment one of the boys walks in. Not recommended for people who are easily offended by sexual themes. My opinion of this movie is that it is the average 1980s extremely softcore porn. As a nudist, I was offended, but as a moviegoer, I wasted my time watching this stupid movie.

Hot Chili is enjoyable in a sophomoric kinda way. If you're looking for amateurish absolutely no demand T&A teenage sex comedy that makes you chuckle in spite of yourself then this is a little find. Story simple - four friends go to Mexico to work at a resort for the summer..they want to get laid. & that's it is as you're introduced to the guest who most are naked. I basically got behind this based on nudity alone. Cannon needed to put out more T&A comedies. It's funnier then most movies are these ink are & that's including Joy of Sex that I watched in the same weekend

Almost identical premise as the equally awful Cannon/Golan-Globus production HOT RESORT, released earlier the same year. No one can accuse the Cannon/Golan-Globus team of overestimating their audience.
