    B movie paradise

    At first I wasn't sure I was going to make it through the movie, the acting and writing started out bad, with Hulk's play fight with his friend, but when they got to the treasure and faux marriage part it started to peak my interest and when concidering the movie was basically a pilot for a TV show shows the budget they where working with, not as good as suburban Camando but still fun.

    terry 'hulk' hogan part whale and part machine. the warrior in paradise

    If you were given the movie, please give it back to the person who put this filth in your hands. This movie is the worst thing i have ever seen. Full of corny catch lines and super s.e.a.l stereotypes the hogan once again defeats evil. With a colorful cast of cameos by such big stars as Jimmy the 'speakerphone' Hart and other wrestling rejects. Please save two hours of your life (the movie is an hour and a half but i'd leave a half hour for vomiting) and don't watch this movie. Sure its packed with a few mildly entertaining fight scene's and the beautiful single women in distress that all the 'hulkamaniacs' can enjoy but this is not the time nor the place. I'd watch the 'Nanny' three times in a row and act like i enjoyed the 'Hulks' acting abilities before popping the VHS of Thunder in Paradise again. When searching for this movie i noticed there was a Part II and III, i honestly hope that's a joke or a misprint.

    you have been warned.

    Amazing acting

    This is hogans best acting since his sex tape.I really believed that he was in love with Megan. but i couldn't help but notice the sexual tension between him and the boat its painfully obvious throughout this movie as well as the rest of the series.

    Like Baywatch meets a Schwarzenegger parody movie

    If you like cheesy low budget 90s movies and like Hulk Hogan you'll like this movie. Hulk Hogan is a former Navy Seal who designs and builds a super high tech boat "Thunder" which was too advanced for the Navy to have any interest in. There are a lot of funny lines and some beautiful women. "Complex carbs, kick in like rocket fuel."

    If you expect any of the plot to actually make sense, or detest overly fake fight scenes, you'll be disappointed. If you want to watch a fun silly 90s flick with Hulk Hogan saving the day on his boat and can laugh at the inconsistencies give it a shot.

    The closest description I can provide is a Schwarzenegger parody meets Baywatch with perhaps a touch of Knight Rider.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      While filming during April of 1993, Hulk Hogan was involved in a jet skiing accident, according to Hulk. However, other wrestlers have stated that Hogan was actually punched in the face by Randy Savage backstage at WrestleMania IX (1993). As a result, Hogan's eye is covered with a patch for most of the movie, but when the patch is removed, his actual eye injury can be seen. A small side story was written into the movie to explain the injury where Spencer gets suckerpunched by Kowalski.
