Teen boys, a Mexican resort, and every wild guest you can imagine—plus one holdout for true love.
HOT CHILI
It's Wild, Wet, Sexy, and Dirty!
A group of American teenage boys goes south of the border to work for the summer at a Mexican resort. There they encounter many wacky guests and have zany adventures involving a German dominatrix, a music teacher that gets hot when giving lessons, a buxom cook, and an uptight socialite that eventually thaws. More often than not they end up in bed with someone, but one of the teens is holding out for True Love.
Quick Answer
Hot Chili is a 1985 Mexican comedy film directed by William Sachs about four American teens working at a Mexican resort, where they encounter eccentric guests and a series of risqué misadventures.
Programmer's Pick
Hot Chili is less a coming-of-age story and more a parade of beachside shenanigans with every sex comedy trope in the book. If you like your comedies loaded with awkward teens, eccentric adults, and the kind of nudity that made the '80s notorious, this one delivers the goods.
