[3.5] the guiltiest pleasure of them all
Added 9/1/2007
This could be one of those so bad they are good movies. This is pretty much a very silly film, where no one can act, or I should say, everyone overacts ridiculousy. The story is not too intriguing. Nevertheless, it is No Holds Barred wrestling fun.
No Holds Barred is The Hulkster's first lead in a film. He is "Rip", a character that is very similar to the real life Hulk Hogan. His fights are extremely popular, and the network that carries him has rating overs the top. Naturally, a competing network wants Rip, but he is not interested. In attempt to gain ratings one way or another, the network's owner and 2 of his employees visit a trashy bar, where huge, filthy wrestlers duel out in a no rules ring, where you are lucky if their bodies even stay within the ring. Intrigued by the event, the owner televises a tournament there called "Tough Guy Competition" where anyone with the guts can fight for $100,000. Zeus "Tiny Lister" comes and scares the heck out of everyone, destroying everyone he touches. The network owner is happy, and does what he can, hurting Rip's younger brother and girlfriend to get him to fight Zeus on television. The final fight comes and it is a whopper - lasting about 10 minutes, and truly is a no holds barred spectical.
The movie is rather laughable most of the time, and doesn't take itself seriously. Hulk gets some tender moments in, and while his intentions are good, the acting isn't. Then there's the good ole "what's that smell scene". I coudn't stop laughing it was ridiculous. Zeus is one crazy guy, and spends most of his time grunting, and when he speaks he still grunts. Built like a machine and with a blind eye, he has the look of a villain no less.
There are tons of action throughout the film, whether iy be wrestlers throwin each other around at the bar fights, or Hulk going insane with anger at Zeu's gym tearing up the place. The last fight is worth it all though - its total fun.
So silly of a movie, but sometimes those are the best one's. There aren't really many wrestling movies out there like this, so if you want to see Hulk going all out in a film, this is your best bet. A guilty pleasure all the way.

Whats the Smell?
Added 1/7/2006
A success, a brilliant success. The only movie to inspire a Green Day album. This Hulk Hogan classic tells the story of Jesus Christ's fight against the Romans in this modern day battle. Instead of the battle field taking place in the days of old and our hero getting crucified, the battle is in a bar and our Hulk gets Zuesified. Jesus (aka Rip) lashes out the same way 2000 years later...with raw muscle power and brute force. Could Jesus be locked in a car by a bladder deficient limo driver...NO...either could the Hulkster. Hulkamania lives on, and rises again every Easter.
Simply stated, worship the Hulkster, or chances are you will suffer eternal damnation. This movie is a quality family flick that should be watched religiously every Sunday. The Creator may have rested on the 7th day, but on the 8th he made No Holds Barred.

Papa T Loves American Heroes 2 DVD/All Hulk Hogan Movies (Masterpieces!). Apparently
Added 12/19/2005
In this movie Hulk Hogan plays himself. But because this is a fictional story, his character's name is Rip. Anyway, Rip is a pretty big deal in the Wrestling World. Not unlike Hulk himself around the same time. We know Rip is a nice guy because he's always hanging around children, not in a creepy way, but because they're sickly or orphaned or stupid or something. But while this is going on, a new guy rises to the top called Zeus. Not the Greek God, some wrestler dude. Anyway Zeus wins some competition, which makes him even bigger than Rip/Hulk, so Hulk gets mad and the film ends with a Wrestling match between Rip and Zeus. Anyway the public doesn't like Zeus as much as Rip, because he doesn't hang around sick kids, and he works for some evil guy named Brell. Even though 60% of Wrestling fans are Redknecks, and Hulk himself has been accused of racism, I'm sure it has _nothing_ to do with him being black.
In the course of this film we see Hulk on top of the world, fall a bit, train a bit and climb his way to the top, all while courting a girlfriend in a manner that, anywhere else in the civilised world, even in 1989, would be considered sexual harassmant. God Bless America!

Suburban Commando

It is a delightful movie, predictable but fun. Hulk Hogan and Christopher Lloyd complemented each other in their acting ability to provide fun comedy. Too bad this movie is hard to find in local stores. It gets a "thumbs up" for a relaxing Friday night movie.

Another Childhood Favorite!
Added 8/13/2008
Ever since I was a kid, I have loved this movie! I love everything about it; the plot, the acting, the characters, the cheesy music, and the hilarious situations that Shep Ramsey would get into on Earth. This is the type of movie I could watch over and over again. Hulk Hogan does an awesome job as Shep Ramsey, an intergalactic warrior who never takes time to relax after a mission. Shep's superior officer suggests that he goes to earth to recharge his ship and enjoy himself, but Shep wants nothing to do with Earth. After he lands, he finds an apartment at the Wilcox house.
Charlie Wilcox is an architect who works for a man named Adrian Beltz who steals Charlie's ideas. After Charlie and his family meet Shep, his wife and kids like him, but Charlie is a little skeptical, so he spies on him at night, whenever Shep goes out to help people in need. Charlie messes with Shep's equipment that can be traced by bounty hunters who are hunting for Shep.
The next day, Shep and Charlie must work together to find a traceable freeze gun, but they must soon deal with the bounty hunters. In order to get his ship running again, Shep needs 40 pounds of Cymian crystal, and the only person who has it is Charlie's hypocritical boss. After the big fight with the bounty hunters, Shep thinks he is almost home, but he is dead wrong.
Shep's old nemesis, General Suitor is back and holds the Wilcox family hostage until Charlie leads him to the abandoned building where Shep crash-landed. Can Shep Ramsey save the universe by killing Suitor for good? I highly recommend SUBURBAN COMMANDO!!!

Suburban Commando, Hulkamania forever
Added 6/2/2008
It helps to like Hulk Hogan, but most families should enjoy this light fare. Sure the special effects are B grade but you can overlook that considering when it was made and the small budget they will suffice. The acting is a little hammy, but I still found this a fun hour and a half. I'm always glad to see light entertainment and Christopher Lloyd and Hulk Hogan are definitely a good match up in this comedy. When an architect and his family are hurting for money they rent out a room. Little do they know the man that rents it is a space mercenary with good causes and a special resentment towards humans. Or so he says as we soon see he may have a heart afterall. The action gets interesting when bounty hunters come looking for Hulk. Good quality DVD with reasonably good replay.
