Lack of good storyline.

Excellent, a Must See

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Fun Fact: This movie was the reason why punching mimes became a "thing" back in the early '90s.Many mature themes and elements run through this film. The imminent economic takeover of the US by Japan. Settling grudges by lawsuits instead of with fists. The plight of the emasculated, overworked and under-appreciated hen-pecked nuclear husband and his cold calculating wife. And a manic, grunting steroid-crazed monster - the mustachioed "Shep" Ramsey - terrorizing a quaint suburban town by whimsically and randomly manhandling its citizens, ensuring hilarity for all.If you enjoy even the thought of face-punching mimes in a light-hearted fashion, you've already seen this movie. Sadly, the fun was not to last, as the government soon made it a federal crime to free them from their force fields. Nine out of Ten. Docked one point because the only movie that deserves a perfect 10 score is "It's Pat: The Movie".

I absolutely love this film, ever since I was little i remember having this on around once ever week. I wouldn't grow tired of it, maybe because I was a huge Hulk Hogan fan. Yes it does seem a little dated with it CGI if you can call it that, but i think is a great movie for all generations. There are so many moments of comedic value that me and my friends are constantly quoting and reminiscing about. It has a feel of a Arnold Schwarzenegger movie where there is constant great moments that can be enjoyed again and again. I would have to say this is probably my favourite Hulk Hogan film out of the ones he did. I love the soundtrack in this movie and I don't know why but it just seemed so cool at the time. and of course you cant go wrong with a cameo from The Undertaker with a comedy moment.

This was cheesy maybe even corny, but it was also enjoyable. This was one of the first movies I ever saw on video so this brings back memories for me. Hulk Hogan may not have had an acting career similar to the Rock's, but in all fairness Hogan is the prototype that all wrestlers turned actors are judged. I won't get into that as I'd much rather discuss it when I review Rocky Three sometime next year. On to Suburban Commando Shep Ramsay(Hogan) is an intergalactic warrior currently battling the forces of the evil General Zuiter. In the midst of this battle he ends up blowing the power in his space ship. He then ends up on "Earth" a planet he'd much rather avoid. Elsewhere Charlie Wilcox(played by Christopher Lloyd is struggling with his job. His wife asks him to get a raise but Charlie just does not have the guts to do it at this point. Shep Ramsay lands and while observing the town spots a sign that says apartment for rent. It just so happens that the apartment is Charlie Wilcox's Tool Shed(or lack thereof). Charlie views Ramsey as a threat and tries to kick him out, but before getting the chance Shep helps the Wilcox family with their everyday obstacle. Charlie later blasts a wall that gives Zuiter and his crew directions to Hogan's whereabouts. If anyone ever wondered where the Undertaker gave his first major appearance this film was it. I won't spoil the finish but the bonds of Shep and Ramsey become greater and greater as the movie goes on. This film is what any Hogan movie should have been, enjoyable, funny, and sometimes even witty. I'll give it a six because it did reek of Campiness but the campiness worked in this type of movie.

Both the critical and box office success of 1989's No Holds Barred were unprecedented, and needless to say, many had high expectations for the eagerly anticipated Sububan Commando of two years later. What movie goers recieved that year was arguably the best film of the decade, with the Hulkster bringing Shep Ramsey to life in yet another heart stopping performance. Comparisons with No Holds Barred are unavoidable, but in my opinion unfair. The latter film is primarly concerned with philosophical issues pertaining to man's relationship with the universe, while Suburban Commando has a much tighter focus, presenting the individual as a mirror reflecting the socio-politcal values of the "new" deomcracy in which he finds himself captive. The much touted gay scene between Christopher Loyd and Hogan was left on the cutting room floor, but may be included in the upcoming directors cut. In short, Suburban Commando is a landmark film which rarely gets the attention it deserves.
