I am in no way saying this is an award winning movie with award winning performances, but it does include a star-studded cast and plenty of corny jokes that are so indicative of the time period. Movie was great, plot was a cross between Bill & Ted, Rambo, and the Power Rangers I think but mostly for kids since there isn't and cussing in it that I can remember hearing. This is the type of movie I could watch over and over again. Hulk Hogan does an awesome job as Shep Ramsey, an intergalactic warrior who never takes time to relax after a mission. Shep's superior officer suggests that he goes to earth to recharge his ship and enjoy himself, but Shep wants nothing to do with Earth. After he lands, he finds an apartment at the Wilcox house. This is one of his best moves that had me laughing through out. Not so many movies by him have a theme.

Overall rating: 6 out of 10.

This movie gets funnier as I get older. Not a good sign, but oh well. Lets face it, this is no blockbuster film, but deep in your hearts that part of being a kid comes out and just laughs at this film. Hogan is the king of cheasy. The dialogue is hilarious and there really isnt a bad actor in this film. Lloyd is one of the better actors ive seen in my life and Larry Miller is always good for a laugh or two. Shelly isnt bad herself. I dunno, this movie fits some peoples humor and not others.

Turns out this was a complex drama about an intergalactic warrior who winds up on Earth lodging with a suburban family from where he then fights a succession of baddies. This one is a star vehicle for Hulk Hogan, who is sort of the missing link between Lou Ferrigno and Russ Abbott; he's a likeable enough presence but with the caveat that his acting makes Miles O'Keeffe appear like Laurence Olivier. In this one, he does more or less what you expect of him, to that end skateboards get thrown into outer space, thieves get put in wheelie bins and cats are launched into outer space (actually, I am noticing a theme here even as I type this). Anyway, quite amazingly, there are some actual funny moments in this one, although admittedly none of them involve Hulk Hogan. But you have to take what you can get when you watch a wrestler movie I suppose.

OK, let's be honest, this isn't one of the greatest movies ever made but I can give it some credit for making me laugh once in a while, and even though some of the action was kinda boring, it was at least somewhat creative.

Even though Hulk Hogans acting isn't all that good, I will say that this is the one of those movies where an actor does bad in many movies but did good in a certain movie (Suburban Commando is one of his better films). Christopher Lloyd pulls of his role as Charlie very well and has one of the funniest lines of all time, I WAS FROZEN TODAY. But the rest of the acting was bad.

So in all honesty the movie is just stupid, but it tries to be good. If you want to watch it, then I see no harm in watching it, if you've heard of it then I say check it out as well.

5/10

Silly, horrible, but jus a good film to remember as a child. Hogan, Shell Duvall, and C Loyd we're all funny. It's a bad movie don't get me wrong but it wasn't meant to be a great movie. It was meant to be just as it was and is. Hulk Hogan coming off his kinda success from the movie No Holds Barred to this was jus meant to capitalize on more fame and notoriety for the wrestling world. Not to mention it also gave Mark Callaway "Undertaker" his first feature film role before he became the undertaker. All kids fans of wrestling or not should watch this film. It family fun entertainment bit don't go into watching this a an Oscar film. Jus accept it as it is and enjoy the night.

The top line says it all. I rented it on VHS. Thought it would have been humorous to the 10 year old child I was at the time. I was mistaken then, and have not tried to revisit it since.

Burt Kennedy charmed my childhood with films like "Support Your Local Sheriff!", "Good Guys and the Bad Guys", "Support Your Local Gunfighter", "Hannie Caulder". Recently I saw "All Kind Strangers" with 3 excellent actors in the cast: Stacy Keach, Samantha Eggar, John Savage. Like the script of "All the Kind Strangers", the script of this "Suburban Commando" it's also not great. I watched it with pleasure, because the experienced professional old Burt Kennedy knew how to make a nice film from a second-hand script. I'm not a Hulk Hogan fan but he's not bad in the role of Ramsey. It's a pleasure to meet again the crazy pair Christopher Lloyd and Shelley Duvall. And the old Jack Elam, a veteran of many great westerns. The film starts with a Star Wars inspired scene and has some cool tunes along the way: Robert Jason with Almost Like Paradise, KC & The Sunshine Band with Do You Wanna Go Party.

I first saw 'Surburban Commando' in theaters when I was 11 years old. Naturally I grew up on WWF and Hulk Hogan was my favorite wrestler so this movie didn't ask very much of me. I tell you this because ultimately that's gonna be it's core audience, fans. It's light, it's predictable and it isn't worth any heavy thinking, criticizing.

Shep (Hogan) is an intergalactic tough good guy who finds himself on Earth after a failed mission to capture an alien bad guy. Navigating a culture that is very foreign to him that will come with it's own brand of misunderstandings and slapstick comedy. Some works, some doesn't. YMMV. Hogan isn't an actor with great range, but the straight forward plot plays to his strengths. There's some PG-13 moments of action and fisticuffs and he comes off very likable.

Veteran actors Christopher Lloyd & Shelley Duvall play the two adult parents of a family he ends up renting a place to stay from. Lloyd is a mild, meek man who let's his awful boss (Larry Miller - who was born to play these roles) treat him like dirt. Due to Shep's appearance though by the end he's a changed man and finally makes a stand for himself.

Fans of the Hulkster or those who enjoy family friendly slightly cheesy entertainment of the 90's with a gleam in their eye for nostalgia will enjoy the proceedings. You can also keep an eye out for wrestler Mark Calloway (The Undertaker) here. It's not something I'd sit thru repeat viewings, but it's also fairly harmless with the tiniest bit of charm granted you saw it back in it's day.

This movie gets into my category of favorite classics of 1990s. Sure, it is more kids movie than even a family movie, and it can not compete with glowing old stream-liners like Back To The Future, not to mention recent Harry Potters, etc., still, it delivers the unique combination of funny comedy and warm atmosphere of kindness and personal achievement. You can rarely meet this combination in movies nowadays.

What I also like is that the struggle of good and evil is going on more realistic sci-fi level than usual (no mystically flying superheroes and other such things). And the Hulk Hogan's character is perfect for him. This movie is probably Hogan's best. Christopher Lloyd also performed great (as usual), and the acting of many supporting characters was solid good and fit the plot precisely.

So if you want the entertaining comedy for your family and you want to chuckle at some scenes for yourself, watch this movie. Hogan there looks like a big kind-hearted superhero uncle, so your kids will love him.

I was about 9 years old when I first saw this movie. As a kid I really enjoyed it a lot. After seeing the horrible 4.5 rating, I thought maybe my fond memories of it were just based on nostalgia and nothing else, so I decided to watch it again as an adult to find out. After watching it recently, I still am sticking by my opinion. While it's certainly no Oscar worthy movie, it clearly never tried to be. It was meant to be a family friendly and fun comedy film, nothing more. And I think it succeeded very well at that. So if you've never seen it or have and want to share that experience with your own children, I definitely recommend you do. It's a fun way to pass an hour and a half

I gave this a 4 because I loved it as a young teenager. It doesn't hold up with age.

Awful special effects, soundtrack, story and acting by Hulk Hogan.

But it's fun to see some old and young faces of then famous or yet to he famous entertainers.

Out of all the movies Hulk Hogan has starred in this is probably my favourite.

Like I said on my summary, it is great fun throughout as Hogan plays intergalactic warrior Shep Ramsey who ends up on Earth after an encounter with evil villains. It is fun to see Shep adjusting to life on Earth (watch out for one scene where Shep locks a cruel dog owner in the back of a car and lets the dog go free)and to see him battle the evil bad guys who are after him (one of them played by Mark Callaway who is still wrestling as The Undertaker).

The dialogue is pretty good throughout the film and as usual, Hogan is playing a moralistic character. Shelley Winters and Christopher Lloyd do a fantastic job as well.

All in all, a great film and I just loved Shep Ramsey's suit in the movie.

This is the first and hopefully only movie I've ever seen that stars Hulk Hogan. There actually was at one point where I was into professional wrestling, but that was a long time ago. I even recently looked at a popular lengthy clip on YouTube. I guess pro wrestling for me is pretty cheesy and corny. Wow, that's tasty! Well, this movie ended up giving me something like that. It features Hulk Hogan as an alien warrior who comes to Earth to meet up with Christopher Lloyd to stay away from bounty hunters. The acting is pretty bad and there's really nothing unique about the film at all.

There's a couple of funny lines in there, but definitely not enough for a full movie. I never realized how prolific Christopher Lloyd was. I really hope he's not a guy who's mostly motivated by money. I think this could have been funny and entertaining if it was like a short film or possibly a sketch. That's really all the time you need to tell a story like this. And yes, it was interesting to find out the origin of the Nostalgia Critic's "I was frozen today!" line. He should use that more. The pacing is poor and it's not very rewarding. *1/2

I should have known it would be bad since it starred Hulk Hogan, but I was not prepared for just how bad it was. One of the worst movies of all time. It was nice to see Mark Calloway (WWF's the Undertaker) as a villian (actually a flunky). However, I can't think of anything else remotely entertaining about this movie.

Suburban Commando (1991)

2/4

Some movies could only be made within the barriers of somewhere around 1989 to 1992. There are some things that are instantly recognizable from different eras, like swing dancing or flappers from the 1920's, or post-war 1950's suburban homes. There is a movie that is instantly recognizable from 1991, too, a movie that stars Hulk Hogan, the famous (now infamous, with all that behind-the-scenes drama over the past years) wrestler, a fish out of water tale, and a campily entertaining screenplay and generally genial direction. That movie is "Suburban Commando" - and boy, is it recognizable from its era.

By the early 1990's, Hulk Hogan had reached superstardom. He was huge - and had already (or at least attempted to) conquer Hollywood two years earlier with the successful "No Holds Barred" which is also a movie that could only be made in 1989. He had tried to venture out into a real movie career; like Arnold Schwarzenegger (which this film actually has references to) or Chuck Norris, both professional athletes like Hogan before becoming massive movie stars. "Suburban Commando" was a genuine failure, however, and nothing really came of it. Hogan, you can tell, really wanted a movie career. Well, with this film, I don't think it's hard to see why he's not in a lot of movies.

"Suburban Commando" is your classic early 90's fairly tale. It literally opens on a direct copy of the original beginning of 1977's "Star Wars" which shows how desperate this film is. Hogan stars as a galactic hero who's just managed to save himself, but must escape, where he must go to earth. He remarks, "I hate Earthlings..." (while speaking English, of course). After landing in a random location, Hogan ends up with a common suburban family of two kids and a husband and wife (played by Christopher Lloyd and Shelley Duvall). In order to charge his spaceship, he must reside on Earth to wait for his spaceship, where he ends up living with the suburban family, and has a hard time fitting in with the "Earthlings" - which, to him, are quite bizarre creatures.

Nothing new here. The story is phoned in, really, and Hogan cannot act whatsoever, delivering a performance of "grrrrrrr" for just about the entire movie. I laughed a lot at him.

But, to be honest, this is a movie that is very obviously aimed at children, and is very appealing to children. I would be lying to say I didn't enjoy it in my own guilty pleasure kind of way. There are actually a few funny moments; for example, there are moments in Frank Cappello's script that are actually very witty, as in a scene where Hogan claims his lack of knowledge about the human kind and American culture comes from being French. A very funny moment; another comes from Hogan explaining his intergalactic duties to a next door neighbor who's a war veteran, to which he exclaims, "things certainly have changed since '44!" I liked this scene too. "Suburban Commando" is very much like a sitcom of the era, with some unoriginal ideas and laughable dialogue. But I enjoyed it enough to say that it's not really that bad - just mediocre, with some standout unintentional laughs.

I'm not a science fiction fan, but I like this movie. I may be biased as a Hulk Hogan fan, but this is my favorite of his films. A lot of it is pretty dumb and borders on the absurd, but the best and funniest scenes are his trying to fit in on Earth, and the odd partnership between him and straight-laced Christopher Lloyd. Accepting Hogan too quickly as the space hero he is, Lloyd gets to play one harried husband with a spaced out wife played by Shelley Duvall. Larry Miller, funny as he is, is annoying as the boss, but Jack Elam is wasted as a shell-shocked neighbor in a neighborhood of wierdos. Roy Dotrice has an unexpected cameo, but the worst part of the movie is the unconvincing villain who comes across as a kiddie show bad guy. Two of Hogan's wrestling cronies play bounty hunters who take part in a cartoonish John-and-Larry fight scene. Altogether, the movie has a lot of faults, but few really good scenes.

Hulk Hogan does a passable job in "Suburban Commando". His supporting cast is hit or miss with the standout being Larry Miller. Miller gets most of the laughs in this movie. "Suburban Commando" wore out its welcome after a while. The 1990's were the glory days of live action family movies. "Suburban Commando" does not rank among the best of that era.

Sweet and amusing. Maybe you need to watch it when you're very, very tired, like Mr. Hulot's Holiday. Or maybe the ideal venue would be a crowded matinée showing packed with teenagers just out of school, like PeeWee's Big Adventure. I dunno, I smiled a lot - the script was self-consciously corny and silly, but very well-done silly. Or maybe you need an IQ temporarily 30 points lower than your best shot. Can't help thinking that if you liked Harold and Maude or Ferris Buehler or Stripes or (parts of) Caddyshack (cut to Carl Spackler), you'd be amused, too. In the immortal words of Jean-Paul Sartre, "Au revoir, goph...uh, aliens."
