Ripa Hits the Skids (Finnish: Ripa ruostuu) is a 1993 Finnish comedy film directed by Christian Lindblad. It tells the story of Ripa, a young film director whose life seems to be going downhill all the time. Ripa, in debt and alcoholic, meets a beautiful young woman, Tiina, with whom he starts dating, but the relationship is full of problems, and the lenders and the police chasing him do not exactly make the difficult everyday life any easier.
The film was entered into the 18th Moscow International Film Festival. It was selected as the Finnish entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 66th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.
