the Hollywood Hogan gimmick was hilarious because it was supposed to be him as this big Hollywood hotshot movie star but he was only ever in absolute dogshit, I think they literally did a promo from the set of 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain

Look I am not saying they were good ,but the Hogan movies from the 80s were watched and enjoyed by me and my cousins. I still remember lines from those like Mr. Mom etc.. Like if you were a kid in the 80s and you were into Hulkamania then you loving loved those films.

16-bit Butt-Head posted:the hulkster is no rock or john cena or batista, brother Part of what made The Rock's budding movie career so exciting was that we already saw how wrestlers breaking into Hollywood looked like, i.e. direct to video trash or a cameo in Gremlins 2.

David D. Davidson posted:That honestly isn't as crazy as people think, I mean, Hollywood is always looking for talent that can convincingly perform some highly exaggerated fake fights, and professional wrestling is just fake fights as performance art. There's like a handful of wrestlers that have gone on to actual movie stardom (or at least cult movie stardom), though. The Rock, Batista, John Cena, Roddy Piper, and maybe one or two others that I've forgotten. Hogan's movies were all vanity projects that sank like particularly heavy boat anchors, and pretty much every other wrestler that's tried to make the move into films has met with little if any success. It's not enough to be able to fake fight; as with a lot of TV stars that also tried to become movie stars in the 1980s and 1990s, it turns out that the level of charisma needed to become a big star on the small screen doesn't necessarily translate into becoming a big star on the big screen. AlmightyBob posted:also it was the 80s, part of why diamond dave left Van Halen is because he wanted the band to go on hiatus for 2 years so he could become a movie star, everyone was doing it lol Well yeah, the 1980s was the era of singers popping up on an episode or two of Miami Vice or some other TV show before being given a movie (that in turn gave them a harsh reminder of why they should stick to singing).

MrQwerty posted:lol Gremlins 2 was the best movie Hogan was ever in It's the best movie period, but it speaks volumes about Hogan's Hollywood career that he showed up in it as... Hulk Hogan. Same thing as with Rocky III, Hogan just never transcended wrestling.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Does Andre the Giant count? I'd say so, mainly because he was one of those few wrestlers that was actually pretty well known even outside of wrestling. Plus Samuel Beckett used to occasionally give him (and other kids in the village) rides to school, so there's that too.

Gavok posted:I see Triple H as Stringer with Nick Khan as his Clay Davis. Surely Ted Turner is a better comparison. Both Stringer and Ted wanted to get into a business other than what they were in, subsequently got taken for a ride by players in their aspired business who saw them as a mark (in this case the scam/con usage, but also probably the wrestling one from Hulk, Nash & co), and both eventually found themselves on the outs in their former organisations as a result of their choices in attempting to enter their desired business. The only real difference is that Ted Turner had Eric Bischoff to make bad decisions for him.

Nathan Jones and Robert Maillet aka Kurrgan from Oddities are both guys whose film careers eclipsed anything they ever did in the ring. Sure it's all "big man #2" or "big monster man" but  is still more iconic than most of the drivel The Rock keeps pushing out.

And Hulk Hogan was offered to star in "The Wrestler" but he turned it down because he didn't want to make the business look bad, brother!

My friend got me Suburban Commando on DVD as a gag Christmas gift one year. Then we eventually watched it and realized that the movie genuinely slaps.

The best movies Hogan made were the lovely direct to TV action movies that had Shannon Tweed and Carl Weathers in them.
