Suburban Commando!

[systemcr4sh]

Just caught this great little PG flick on MoviePix.

Man Was I surprised!

Its a delightfully cheezy movie. The beginning ripped off starwars (or so it just looked alot like it) and they mentioned aliens! ("What, Are we gonna fight giant bugs who beed acid!?")

I can't believe I didn't tape it!

Its coming on later on this week so I can't wait to catch it, also the abyss and The Paperboy are gonna be on along with gremlins so I figure I'll tape those too.

Man am I glad I upgraded our channels!

I don't get it.

The funny thing about SUBURBAN COMMANDO, in my book, is the back of the box.  Mostly because it praises the "inspired comic presence of Hulk Hogan".  We typed it into a speech emulator one night for laughs.

This movie isn't a Terry Hogan movie is it?  Hulk should always go by his given name, Hulk.

Speaking of Hulk Hogan movies, I bought SANTA WITH MUSCLES for a dollar, but I still haven't managed to take it out of its wrapping.

The Hulkster is back on the wrestling scene in the WWF as the bad guy of the NWO again.

Hogans best bit is when he played "Thunderlips" vs Rocky match up in Rocky III: Eye of the Tiger.

I believe Hogan's pal Ed Leslie (Brutus the Barber Beefcake) appears in almost every movie Hogan ever made. Suburban Commando, Mr. Nanny, and Santa with Muscles at least. All of which are beyond horrible. Santa with Muscles probably being one of the worst films ever made. In that one Ed takes the role as the evil oriental mad doctor after Hogan. Hogan is definitely an ego maniac.

The Undertaker was also in Suburban Commando, back in the days when he had that HUGE ginger curly mullet.

system, the "BROTHER" after every few words is a joke about Hogan...jeez, does nobody remember the 80's WWF, DUDE?!

[Lee]

I do! I was laughing through the whole post. See Drezzy, somebody picked up on the fact that you were making a joke. Dang, I shoulda said something earlier. I quite enjoyed that.

Mmmm... "Suburban Commando"... I remember, yes, a movie that promised to be awful, but instead turned to be quite funny. I really loved the scene where Hogan beats the sh*t out of a disguised "Afterburner" coin-op. And the scenes with that mime... oh my god, those should be a classic in the "I hate mimes" genre, together with the following dialogue from "Die hard with a vengeance"

Samuel L. Jackson: "Watch out! Do you plan to run over everybody in Central Park?!"

Bruce Willlis: "Dunno. The mime, maybe."

Note: I reproduce dialogue more or less as I recall it, and keep in mind that I saw a spanish-dubbed version.

Get the Mime! Not bad,Nev. Maby someone should compile a list on "Mime Incidents" in movies. Mime's just inspire contempt in people....don't know why......but there's just something ...clown like about them...thats it!. Clownlike! "Killer Klowns from Outer Space II: Attack of the Mimes!"....that could work! Get Lucas on the blower, i got a live on here!

[Neville]

That's completely true, Flangepart. I have seen many mimes in real life (the ramblas in Barcelona are full of them) and I have to say it has to be a damn difficult job. However, for some reason filmakers are completely against them and make them objects of the most freakin' situations, and what the hell, watching a mime in one of those situations is something it always makes me laugh. Here there are some situations...

1) In the computer game "Blood", a 3D shooter, you could shoot a mime in the fair stage. If you did it, a voice said "I hate mimes".

2) My personal favourite: in spanish flick "El dia de la bestia"
(see http://www.badmovies.org/othermovies/eldiabestia/index.html)
the main character is a priest who has decided to make evil things so he can meet Satan and stop armaggedon. As the credits roll, he pushes a mime who was doing some equilibrium exercises
over a subway entrance.
