Reviews
- Lexicon of the international film : "The thin plot of this snow operetta between art, kitsch and advertising film aesthetics is only the hook for impressive ski acrobatics, brilliantly photographed and underlaid with an intoxicating electronic sound."
- Heyne Filmlexikon (1996): “Excellent ski shots (deep snow, glaciers, races, skiboard) and windsurfing interludes are in the first feature film of the ex-racing ace and ski-dress manufacturer Willy Bogner, outrageous kitsch product placement and one more than against a simple framework. "
Remarks
Bogner had previously acted as a cameraman and consultant on several James Bond films in which spectacular ski scenes played a role. The title song Fire and Ice is sung by Marietta . In 1990 Bogner produced the sequel Fire, Ice & Dynamite with Roger Moore . In 2006 this film and the sequel were extensively restored and prepared for HD exploitation.
