The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
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
Well, what can I say about this movie? I was only 6 when it came out and we had it on VHS, why my parents thought this was worth the buy, I don't know? But I hadn't seen it since I was a kid, back then I thought it was a very funny movie. Funny how things are so easily impressive when you're a kid. But I was watching HBO and noticed that this was coming on, so I decided to give it another look since I hadn't seen it in years. Well, once again, what do I say about this movie? I can't even say that it's a terrible film because I have no idea what exactly the director or writers were trying to aim for when they made this movie. Hulk Hogan, back before Hogan Knows Best or whatever that VH1 show is called, he was one of the world's most famous wrestlers, so naturally studios wanted to cash in on his popularity. This is also back in the day with the harmless family plots that are so beyond unbelievable and stupid, but for some odd reason still leaves you with that warm fuzzy feeling inside after the movie is done. Naturally you can always get that feeling with silly Christopher Lloyd and Shelly Duvall.Hulk Hogan plays Shep Ramsey, an interstellar warrior. Shep is contacted by his superior officer, who suggests that he is too "stressed out" and that he should take a vacation. Annoyed, Shep inadvertently smashes his control systems, and he is forced to crash-land on the planet Earth and wait for his spaceship to repair itself. Charlie Wilcox is a weak-spirited designer for the fawning and hypocritical boss of his company, Adrian Beltz, who cannot pluck up the willpower to enforce his own wishes. His wife Jenny tries to encourage him constantly, without success. In order to help their financial situation she rents out Charlie's hobby shed as a vacation hovel, which Shep occupies for his sojourn. Shep's appearance and behavior do little to invite Charlie's confidence, however. He begins to spy on his guest and soon discovers his advanced equipment, but as he fools around with it, the signal from the energy sources is traced by Suitor's surviving forces, who send a pair of intergalactic bounty hunters after Shep. The movie is really over the top and beyond dated, but once again, I find myself enjoying one of the world's most stupid movies. I don't know why, but maybe because it does bring back so many great memories. This film is actually pretty harmless when you think about it, so I think that's why I'm cutting it a lot of slack. Plus how could you not laugh when Chris Lloyd finds out about Hulk's character and puts on the metal armor that he wore in the beginning of the film in space, Chris thinks that he's some kind of super hero just because he has this space armor on, yet cannot really move around in it. Also who could ever forget his over the top line where he's explaining to Hulk Hogan that he doesn't want to have the pressure of saving the world on his shoulders, screams out "I was FROZEN today!" randomly. It's a very strange movie, not for everyone, but if you have an open mind and just remember those silly family comedies and compare to today, you might just enjoy this stupid adventure.5/10
Ever since I was a kid, I have loved this movie! I love everything about it; the plot, the acting, the characters, the cheesy music, and the hilarious situations that Shep Ramsey would get into on Earth. 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.Charlie Wilcox is an architect who works for a man named Adrian Beltz who steals Charlie's ideas. After Charlie and his family meet Shep, his wife and kids like him, but Charlie is a little skeptical, so he spies on him at night, whenever Shep goes out to help people in need. Charlie messes with Shep's equipment that can be traced by bounty hunters who are hunting for Shep.The next day, Shep and Charlie must work together to find a traceable freeze gun, but they must soon deal with the bounty hunters. In order to get his ship running again, Shep needs 40 pounds of Cymian crystal, and the only person who has it is Charlie's hypocritical boss. After the big fight with the bounty hunters, Shep thinks he is almost home, but he is dead wrong.Shep's old nemesis, General Suitor is back and holds the Wilcox family hostage until Charlie leads him to the abandoned building where Shep crash-landed. Can Shep Ramsey save the universe by killing Suitor for good? I highly recommend SUBURBAN COMMANDO!!!
Now granted, Hulk Hogan hasn't been a great action hero, let alone a terrific actor, but you have to admit that this film does have it's funny moments. Christopher Lloyd adds most of the humor of the film, and indeed if it was just Hogan as the "main star" i seriously doubt this film would be anywhere near decent...also look for a cameo of Mark Callaway (aka The Undertaker)as one of the Bounty Hunters
