Hulk Hogan's previous acting endeavors like "No Holds Barred" and a guest appearance on "The A-Team", not to mention his cameo in the beginning of "Rocky 3" do not even begin to prepare you for this piece of celluloid gold. Hogan plays a space commando who must take residence in - not the urban area - but - the suburban area, hence the title. Was my usage of hyphens there correct? END

Not only does this movie feature Hulk Hogan, but it also features Mark Calaway (The Undertaker) as Hutch, one of the bounty hunters. The plot is terrrible, the characters are a bit dull, but you'll find the movie itself is absolutely hilarious. I never thought I'd see the Undertaker in a movie as goofy as this one!

Charley Wilcox (Chrstopher Loyde) is having a bad day. Fortunately, help is on the way...in the form of Shep Ramsey (Hulk Hogan), an intergalactic warrior who is at war with General Suitor, an evil dictater bent on ruling the universe. Shep succeeds in destroying Suitor's ship but during the escape his ship has a problem with it's onboard computer. Shep becomes angry and smashes the dashboard, inadvertently damaging his ship and causing him to make an emergency landing on our little Earth, (Shep's not so favorite planet), for repairs. This is where the fun begins. Mrs. Wilcox turns Charley's work shed into an apartment and Shep rents it out. To make matters worse Charley accedently charges one of Shep's weapons allowing two bounty hunters who are hired by Suitor to hunt down and destroy Shep, (Undertaker and Jake The Snake), to find his exact location. The showdown between Shep and the bounty hunters is the best part, especially when we find out why they're always so mum. "No wonder you guys never talk!" And of course Shep and Charley have a final battle with Suitor as well, with hilarious results. All in all this is a good action/comedy movie for the family or just nostalgia. It's pretty funny but it's not the best I've ever seen.

I love this movie. Like the famous commercial for Gillette Right Guard deodorant ("Anything else would be uncivilized!"), it shows Hulk Hogan's sweet side. I recently read the final chapters of Hogan's biography, "My Life Outside the Ring," and found my suspicions about his real nature were delightfully confirmed. After a very difficult life involving a painful marriage, divorce, lawsuit, and vilification by a drooling press (CNN played an especially nasty role), the Hulkster emerged with a new, positive attitude - his inner goodness triumphed. It's an impressive, inspiring book, by the way. Where was I? Oh yes, Suburban Commando shows the funny, irrepressibly upbeat, life-loving side of Hogan. Whether he's rescuing a kitten from a tree, dealing with white-trash neighbors and their boat, or fighting interspace bounty hunters, it's all done with humor and a wonderfully cheerful, tongue-in-cheek spirit. A classic of the big guy as likeable nice guy genre (e.g., Arnold's "Kindergarten Copy").

Suburban Commando is a 1991 sci-fi action/comedy family film which stars WWE Legend Hollywood Hulk Hogan, Christopher Lloyd and Shelley Duvall. In this film Hogan portrays Shep Ramsey, a gruff and cynical intergalatic bounty hunter who, after a botched rescue mission, travels to Earth for rest and relaxation. There, Ramsey begrudgingly makes friends with a couple(Lloyd and Duvall)and their two kids. While on Earth, Shep comically learning the Earth cultures and customs. Suburban Commando also has an appearance by WWE wresling star The Undertaker, as one of Ramsey's arch-villains. The special feature includes a trailer of the movie and trailers for New Line's other family films. This film is perfect for kids, parents and wrestling fans of all ages.

This classic movie staring hulk hogan was the best film they ever made with the actor hulk hogan in it.

One of the funniest of Hulk Hogan's action films. I enjoyed the whole cast in this film. They made the suburbs and interesting place to be.

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!!!

I ordered this as a Christmas gift that never was able to be given so I opened it up and had a movie night with friends.

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. My friends and I had an amazing time re-watching this childhood staple and enjoyed the humorous nostalgia that came along with it!

Christopher Lloyd and Shelley Duvall never fail to impress and throw in a few wrestlers in a universal fight on earth and a funny, finale handicap match at the end Jake the Snake & The Undertaker(the bounty hunters) vs Hulk Hogan(Shep Ramsey), what are the odds? 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. And if you thought this was funny and family fun to watch, then wait until you see Mr. Nanny. Another good movie for the family to watch as well. Overall, I would get it if I was you, I think it's that good.
