Great movie. I know people hate it, but some of hulks one liners are so funny



my movie snob of a media studies teacher would hate it too, but it beats the new star wars movies for sheer enjoyment thats for sure. If u got an openmind, u will find laughs in the movie, and as it is so stupid anyway, u'll laugh at it unintentionally. Bravo.....

When hulk is playing on an arcade game with kids, hulk does the impossible and wins the space shoot em up, when the kid asks him

"you must play this game alot", hulk seriously replies.....

"game, what game?" And all the kids laugh at him. Priceless. Idiotic at its best.

There is also a genuinely funny bit where hulk moves this hot rod from his friends driveway for him. The beefy owners witness this and have a big go at hulk (as its their hotrod thats blocking hulks friends driveway).....the leader shouts at hulk saying if there is one scratch on his hot rod....

then hulk goes all flippent and says something along the lines of "oh wait, ur gonna kick my ass, break every bone in my body, pound my face in....." etc.....

and the reply from the "bad guys"

(Hotrod Greaser 1)"what, are u nuts, this is the 90's. We're gonna sue u for wilfull destruction of someone elses property.....

(Hotrod greaser 2)"and loss of work hours u caused us, u wont have a dime left to ur name once were through with u"...

( Hotrod greaser 3)"u'll be hearing from our attorney!"

Now that was genuinely funny.

never heard of it.

ditto

Its dumb as hell.

oh my god....you're still trying to prove that the Hulkster's legit when it comes to movies. Personally I think his best acting is in his reality show Hogan Knows Best.

his hairdo in that pic is hilarious , balding with a mullet

Dewrede said:

yeah, a Cul-se-sac That's like his trademark, so he can't shave it all off now. I'm pretty sure he knows it looks god awful. Linda's a good woman for putting up with that head everyday

yeah, wonder what he'd look like without that hairdo and that moustache,

well, then i am a movie snob

whaaaaa?

It's a funny thing about coming attractions trailers. They may or may not be an accurate reflection of the movies they advertise - but they're almost always a wonderful guide to what the movie the distributors wanted to make. Take "Suburban Commando," for example, which in the trailers looks like a wild comic romp through sci-fi and the suburbs, and in the movie version looks more like a slog.

This is the second feature starring Hulk Hogan, the man who looks like a comic strip hero. Hogan's range is limited, but not as limited as the movies he's appeared in. Despite the fact that his public image is often aimed at children - there's a whole line of Hulk Hogan toys - his first film, "No Holds Barred" (1989) was surprisingly violent, sexist and blood-soaked. Now here's "Suburban Commando," which is at least innocuous, but which gives the Hulkster so little to do that his fans may wonder why he bothered.

The movie's prologue takes place in outer space, where Shep Ramsey (Hogan) is an intergalactic bounty hunter. (Ever wonder, by the way, how much of a bounty they'd have to pay to finance an intergalactic hunt?) After a space battle with his archenemy Suitor (William Ball), Hogan's crippled ship lands on Earth, where he quickly becomes a confidant of the rather strange Wilcox family.

Charlie Wilcox, played by Christopher Lloyd (the mad scientist of the "Back to the Future" movies) and his wife Jenny (Shelley Duvall) don't suspect that Hogan is actually from outer space. I mean, why should they? If Hulk Hogan turned up at your door, where would you think he looked like he was from, aside from the funny pages? But Charlie is an inventor of sorts, and after he stumbles over Hogan's ship there is much nonsense involving earthlings getting caught in the middle of a battle between creatures from other worlds.

Somebody was asking the other day, do I ever get tired of going to the movies? Naw, I said, I love movies and so some days it's not really a job, it's more of a lucky break. But I wasn't feeling lucky the day I saw "Suburban Commando," and you know what? By golly, by the time it was over, I was feeling kind of tired of going to the movies.


The movie can be found dirt cheap, and is ripe for a few good laughs.

This reminds me of that time over at hulkhogan.org when this guy tried to sell everybody on Graffiti Bridge.

graffiti bridge fits into the same catogory as this film. It as that look about it. The innocent, naive feel. Like its a dream world.
