Best Hulk Hogan Movie

~~Leo656~~ · 05-03-2003, 10:37 AM

We all know Hulk Hogan is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, but his movie career never quite reached the heights his wrestling career did. Still, he's managed to appear in quite a few films over the years. Which was the best? I've left out a few lesser-known ones like "The Ultimate Weapon", "Spy Hard" and "Secret Agents Club", but I think the majority of Hogan's movie career is represented here.

Some trivia facts about each movie:

ROCKY III: Hogan was fired from the WWF by Vince McMahon Sr. for appearing in Rocky III. McMahon was very strict in telling Hogan "you're a wrestler, not an actor", and told him never to seek work in the WWF again. We all know how THAT turned out.

NO HOLDS BARRED: Tom "Tiny" Lister, the actor who played "Zeus" in "No Holds Barred", has since appeared in "Friday" and as the President of the U.S. in "The 5th Element".

SUBURBAN COMMANDO: WWF/WWE legend The Undertaker played a bounty hunter in the film.

MR. NANNY: Actor/musician Buster Poindexter, most noted for the song "Hot Hot Hot", appeared as the main villain in this film.

3 NINJAS: This film is probably your only chance to see Hulk Hogan beaten up repeatedly by Loni Anderson.

SANTA WITH MUSCLES: Mila Kunis, the sexy brunette on "That 70s Show", had her first major acting role in this film.

ASSAULT ON DEVIL'S ISLAND: Hogan is deathly afraid of helicopters and always has been. At one point during the filming of this movie, a helicopter stunt almost went terribly wrong when a helicopter got caught in between a group of trees. No one was hurt, thankfully.

GREMLINS 2: Hogan took this role because he was told he would be working with Steven Spielberg. As it turns out, Spielberg was on a different set that day, and the meeting between the two never took place.

MUPPETS FROM SPACE: Believe it or not, I have nothing to say about this one.

THUNDER IN PARADISE: This made for TV movie (and the ensuing TV series) was instrumental in Hogan joining World Championship Wrestling in 1994, as "Thunder" and "WCW Saturday Night" were filmed in adjacent studios at Universal Studios Florida.

Now VOTE!

Suburban Commando... that movie is a guilty pleasure for me. Plus it had the undertaker.. with a high pitch voice

Not a fan of wrestlers, so I'd say none of them, and am abstaining from voting.

**Machias Banshee** · 05-03-2003, 10:52 AM

If you cant say something nice, dont say anything at all.

heh, I love Hulk Hogan. HIm as Mr. Nanny was great...

~~Tokka-B~~ · 05-03-2003, 10:59 AM

why not machias? I didn't say anything that wasn't nice...

Shellfox · 05-03-2003, 12:56 PM

Thunder in paradise, good movie, great Show, I love all the wrestlers that appeared in it.
And strangly I knew the majority of the trivia Leo said

~~Leo656~~ · 05-03-2003, 01:07 PM

That's cuz you're one hardcore dude, Shellfox.

*Mars-Chan* · 05-03-2003, 01:17 PM

My vote's for Thunder in Paradise. The boat he drove in the series...*gurgles like Homer* I LOVE THAT BOAT!!!

~~Reznorite420~~ · 05-03-2003, 10:10 PM

His cameo in Gremlins 2 was teh shiznit!

*That Matt Guy* · 05-04-2003, 05:20 AM

I laughed my ass off while watching both Mr. Nanny and Santa W/ Muscles because they were both incredibly stupid (Is Hogan really good friends with George Jefferson in real life!?)

Suburban Commando, my TMNT tape has forever engraved the trailer for that movie into my brain. Hulk was, oddly enough, one of my childhood idols.
