Year: 1991
Director: Burt Kennedy
Plot: A vehicle for popular wrestling celebrity Hulk Hogan, Suburban Commando is an inoffensive science-fiction fantasy. Hogan plays Shep Ramsey, a well-sculpted if somewhat dimwitted intergalactic hero. On vacation from fighting crime on other planets, he has a fight with an alien enemy and his spaceship is damaged. He seeks refuge on Earth until his ship can be revived. Trying to look inconspicuous as an ordinary human being without special powers, he is befriended by a suburban family headed by Charlie Wilcox (Christopher Lloyd) and his wife Jenny (Shelley Duvall). Ramsey's stay isn't peaceful because he has such a keen sense of justice, which he dishes out to muggers, reckless drivers, and even smart-aleck paper carriers. In the end, he has to defend the family against his bold nemesis. ~ Michael Betzold, All Movie Guide

Body: The thing I love about YouTube is that you can usually find what you’re looking for even if you don’t know it exists. Case in point: I wanted to find a clip of Hulk Hogan acting like The Incredible Hulk, and I found this gem of an action sequence from the Hulkster’s 1989 movie No Holds Barred. I guess I was one of the few people who missed this when it arrived in theaters just one week after Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, but it was a busy time for action movies (who knew that 1989 was so much like 2008? You had Indy, Batman and Hulk all in the same summer!*) and despite opening at #2, the movie finished #64 for the year. This weekend’s big opener, The Incredible Hulk, will likely fare better, though it similarly won’t be able to top the grosses of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and The Dark Knight (Batman came in first for 1989 — can he do the same in 2008?). And it probably isn’t be as much fun to watch as No Holds Barred probably is. Too bad it’s not available on DVD (yet Suburban Commando, Mr. Nanny and The Secret Agent Club are) and I can’t add it to my Netflix queue. For more video evidence of why the blond variety of Hulk is better than the green: Hulk vs. Gremlins; Hulk vs. Animatronic Santa; Hulk in a tutu. *If you want to try and dismiss the release of No Holds Barred not being the same kind of Hulk movie, let me also direct your attention to that year’s The Trial of the Incredible Hulk, which kicked off the summer movie season when it aired on NBC in early May.
