Summary: The most underrated comedy of all time.
Review: I was sooo glad to see this action/comedy/sci-fi on dvd. I havn't seen it since I was a tot, so I didn't remeber most of the gags.
It's about a man named Shep Ramsey who is a humaniod and hates earthlings. His ship crahses on earth, so he takes a vavcation. Soon, he moves in with a man played by Christopher Lloyd who is extremly smart, but gets pushed around by his boss, his neighbors, an old lady in a sports car, and anyone he meets. So, Shep moves in and then bounty hunters come and take over the world. Or try to. Shep and (Christopher Lloyd's charecter name here) stop them and the earth is svaed.
This movie is hilarious, awesome and cool. The action is non-stop all the way from beginning to end. The sci-fi speical effects ,well, hey cut them a break, for 1991 they were soooo cool. And constant expolsions. And the comedy is hilarious. My favorite gag was the car alarm gag.

Car alarm: step away from the vechile
(Shep rips out the car alarm)
car Alarm: No, just kidding. No really stand as close as you want. No, take it, I'll tell you how
(Shep squishes it.)

Overall I highly recommend this movie foir anyone with a sense of humour.

Summary: Hulkamania Runnin' Wild
Review: If you love Hulk Hogan and you love bad movies, you will love Suburban Commando. This movie is so cheesy that it really makes for a great time.

Basically Hogan's character is from space and cruises around in a space ship but ends up crashing into Earth while some evil guys are chasing him. Eventually the bad guys show up and cheese gets laid on so thick that it is hard to hold a straight face through even the simplest of scenes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Must See For Wrestling Fans
Review: Not only does this movie feature Hulk Hogan, but it also features Mark Calaway (The Undertaker) as Hutch, one of the bounty hunters. The plot is terrrible, the characters are a bit dull, but you'll find the movie itself is absolutely hilarious. I never thought I'd see the Undertaker in a movie as goofy as this one!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant social commentary on the price of suburban ennui
Review: Strasbourg-trained method actor Hulk Hogan shines in this brutally honest adaptation of David Mamet's play "Suburban Commando." More allegory than call to arms, this film explores the dangerous price of middle-class banality in much the same way as "Falling Down."

Charlie Wilcox (Christopher Lloyd) is a middle-aged mortgage broker who is truly stuck in a life void of living. His marriage to wife Jenny (Shelly Duvall looking creepier than ever) lovelessly goes through the motions. Family life for Charlie isn't much better as his dropout son sells MDMA out of his Camaro, and his daughter drunkenly sleeps with everyone at her high school. Charlie's neighbors have killed the Wilcox family dog as vengeance for waking them up with the lawnmower too early one Saturday morning. Charlie has wild dreams of his lone male encounter in college. Life is a wreck of night sweats, confusion, regret, hatred, pills, and alcohol.

Perusing the "Men Seeking Men" section of the local weekly for the first time one afternoon, Charlie's fortune takes a sudden turn. He works up the nerve to call an ad promising "one cocky muscle boy and elderly gimp" who will deliver "better than any maleman." Charlie meets Shep Ramsey (Hogan) and Colonel Dusty (Jack Elam in the role that defines his career) at a local tavern and baits his new pals on his plan of suburban destruction with ecstacy stolen from his son. The hit list first comes to Charlie and crew as his Glock-packing son tracks down his stolen goods only to meet his doom from Shep's wet-hot rippling muscles. Soon everyone in Charlie's life is at risk, even Charlie himself. The action pumps up furiously to an explosive climax that you'll want to watch again and again.

Hogan went on to do some amazing work in "Mr. Nanny" (which garnered an Oscar nomination) and "Santa With Muscles," but it was "Suburban Commando" that really earned his star on the Hollywood Walk. His performance here drips with the kind of homoerotic sizzle that has defined his career in the ring as well as on stage and film. Highly recommended.

Five stars.

Summary: HULK'S BEST MOVIE TO DATE
Review: YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. I SAID IT. THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE HULK HOGAN HAS EVER DONE. THIS EVEN TOPS ''NO HOLDS BARRED''! AN OUT OF SPACE ENFORCER [HULK HOGAN] LANDS ON EARTH TO TAKE A BREAK FROM HIS ADVENTURES. BUT, TWO BOUNTY HUNTERS ARE ON HIS TRAIL. IT'S HILLARIOUS AND IT HAS SOME GOOD SPECIAL EFFECTS. UNDERTAKER PLAYS ONE OF THE BOUNTY HUNTERS, IN CASE YOU DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW. THIS IS A GOOD MOVIE FOR HOGAN FANS [LIKE MYSELF] AND EVEN MAKES A GREAT FAMILY FILM.
