During the 1990s Hulk Hogan tried to turn his mainstream fame from wrestling into a movie career by starring in a series of corny, family-friendly action movies. I'm sure that many of us have seen 1 or 2 of them if not all, so what ones do you think were the best? What was the worst?
No Holds Barred 1989
Suburban Commando 1991
Mr. Nanny 1993
Secret Agent Club 1996
Santa with Muscles 1996

If you watch them with no expectations of a classic cinematic effort then I enjoyed most of them. Santa With Muscles made the least amount of sense to me, but it was still good for what it was supposed to be. I think No Holds Barred actually cracked the top 5 box offices in its opening weekend. If they had used a professional instead of McMahon and Hogan writing it themselves then it may have been a stronger start to turn Hogan into a leading man in Hollywood.

No Holds Barred debuted at #2 it's opening weekend. Suburban Commando is my favorite one probably. Thunder in Paradise was probably his best, but it was made for TV so doesn't really count here, even though they turned it into a series afterwards. It's funny to see them promote that on WWF in late 93, when it actually turned into a big reason he ended up in WCW.

As they say, his movies weren't released, they escaped.

Thunder in Paradise was a cheesy, but decent action series. I watched it fairly regularly back then.

hey, during 'Hogan Knows Best" on one episode they show Hogan, daughter Brooke, and Big Show on the set of a movie they were filming, with Hogan and Big Show dressed up in terrycloth robes and sandals as greek gods with long white hair and beards. Does anyone remember a movie like this that came out in the last few years. The scene in the HKB episode was on the set and one of the movie's techs is giving Brooke a backrub that was getting too intimate, which infuriates Hogan and Big Show.

No Holds Barred was ok. I liked Suburban Commando. It's pretty cool that Undertaker played a small part in it. I still laugh when I hear his character's kiddy voice. Mr Nanny is a good movie to laugh at. I never saw the other two, but I can imagine I would not like Santa with Muscles.

No Holds Barred, I enjoyed the movie simply because the movie was about wrestling.

About fifteen years ago, Hulk Hogan filmed a movie called McCinsey's Island.
Paul Wight was in this movie along with Grace Jones and Robert Vaughn.

I think direct to USA network.
The IMDB says it was released in Kuwait in 2000.
Directed by the same man that brought you Breakin 2 Electric Boogaloo as well as American Ninja.
Also in credits.......Ed Leslie. of course.
