Suburban Commando
Added 1/7/2009
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.

Good Flick

Movie starts out in what seems to be a corny star wars rip off but then gets hilarious. I was really skeptical after the first 10 minutes but by the end I was hooked. My roomate even rewinded it at some parts they were so funny. This is a definite must see.

Hulk Hogan At His Cheesy Best
Added 7/16/2006
Charley Wilcox (Chrstopher Loyde) is having a bad day. Fortunately, help is on the way...in the form of Shep Ramsey (Hulk Hogan), an intergalactic warrior who is at war with General Suitor, an evil dictater bent on ruling the universe. Shep succeeds in destroying Suitor's ship but during the escape his ship has a problem with it's onboard computer. Shep becomes angry and smashes the dashboard, inadvertently damaging his ship and causing him to make an emergency landing on our little Earth, (Shep's not so favorite planet), for repairs. This is where the fun begins. Mrs. Wilcox turns Charley's work shed into an apartment and Shep rents it out. To make matters worse Charley accedently charges one of Shep's weapons allowing two bounty hunters who are hired by Suitor to hunt down and destroy Shep, (Undertaker and Jake The Snake), to find his exact location. The showdown between Shep and the bounty hunters is the best part, especially when we find out why they're always so mum. "No wonder you guys never talk!" And of course Shep and Charley have a final battle with Suitor as well, with hilarious results. All in all this is a good action/comedy movie for the family or just nostalgia. It's pretty funny but it's not the best I've ever seen.
