Agent double

The Secret Agent Club stars Hulk Hogan as a nerdy, balding toy seller. However he really is a bewigged highly skilled secret agent working for a secret organisation.

He is also a lone parent raising a young son who is embarrassed of his dad because he acts like a klutz. He is unaware that he works as a spy with gadgets and fight skills.

Hogan steals a powerful laser gun and pretends that it is a toy but gets in trouble when the bad guys find out and kidnaps him. His son realising that his father may be more than he is letting on rounds up his friends to rescue him.

Hulk Hogan who at the height of his popularity moved to movies in the late 1980s quickly started to make progressively cheesier, lower budget and more kid friendly films who also happened to be his more fervent fan base.

This really is a film you can enjoy only with younger children who might like some Home Alone lite escapades as once Hogan is captured the kids take centre stage with pantomime villains.

This movie is made funny by its laughable special effects and plotline, but is saved by some of the acting. Danny McCue in particular does a great job as the resourceful and friendly Bart.

The Hulk o maniac has exceeded his comedic limits in this film, with the unveiling of his shiny bald head to the removal of his moustache, the special effects are the poorest things i have ever seen in a movie, i expected more from Terry. He has shattered my fragile dreams of one day becoming a world class Wrestler/ actor. :(

I give this a 6 through nostalgia.

I have fond memories of renting this on VHS and when I came across the DVD I couldn't wait to show my kids (who are huge wrestling fans and aware of who Hogan is)

Ofcourse it's tacky, it's cheesy, it's a bit lame. But this isn't a movie for me and you to sit and enjoy as a serious piece of cinema. This is a fun romp for the kids, and as a kids movie it holds up to this day as an entertaining watch for them. Younger kids aren't going to pick this movie apart for the acting quality, the cheesy resolutions and the over the top storyline, they're going to enjoy hulk hogan and the movie with the really cool ray gun (that's what my 7 year olds ask for when they watch it).

Lighten up and let it be a kids movie. If you've fond memories like me, show your little ones, watch it together and have a laugh, switch off for a bit.

An Oscar winner this is not, clearly. However as a kids movie this has everything you could want, a kid friendly plot complete with espionage, weapons, martial arts and hammy villains. Hulk Hogan does a decent enough job as Ray and despite what anybody else says, the kids all do a good job with the script. The occasional cheesy bits and possibly unintentional comic moments (due to cheese or cliché) don't detract and if anything, add to the fun nature of the movie.

Family fun that should not be disregarded, it makes no apologies about what it is and that is a solid kids movie that is entertaining and exciting for all ages.

Enjoy!
