Filming
Filming took place in Portland, Oregon and at the Columbia River Gorge. Reception
The film bombed at the box office, only earning $376,008 in the United States, and received negative reviews. It was lambasted by famed Chicago film critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert. In his review for the Chicago Sun-Times, Ebert awarded the film a rare zero-stars rating, writing: "I felt like I was an eyewitness to a disaster. If I had been an actor in the film, I would have wondered why all the characters in this movie seem dumber than the average roadkill. What puzzles me is this film's tone. It's essentially a children's film with a dirty mind. This is a movie to watch in appalled silence. To call it the year's worst would be a kindness." Frozen Assets holds a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on nine reviews. References
