Hulkkk Hogan

If you've lived throughout the 80's and 90's you are familiar with the Hulk Hogan. In case your eight years old, or younger, Hulk Hogan was the main star and champion of the WWF. As a young lad growing up in front of a television, I contracted a mild case of "Hulkamania" in the Spring 1989. For a couple of months, I wore yellow and called people brother, until I was cured by a doctor who told me wrestling is fake.


Aside from being a professional wrestler, Hulk Hogan was an amateur actor. The only thing worse than watching a man pretend that he's wrestling, is watching a wrestler pretend that he's acting. Hulk Hogan's movie career is like a crappier version of Arnold Schwarzenegger 's. Both Hogan and Schwarzenegger were cast according to their physique. In action movies they played super big and super strong characters and in comedies they played super big and super strong characters in ironic roles, such as a Nanny or a kindergarten teacher (Neither were ever in a drama). Hogan was in several movies, such as Mr. Nanny, Suburban Commando and, the crème de le crème of shitty movies, No Holds Barred.

You know its going to be a shitty movie when the cover of the case looks more like an Atari game.
I could imagine this being an awesome video game though.

No Holds Barred is not only a shitty movie, it's a shitty racist movie. No Holds Barred is the story of Rip (Hogan) a fake wrestler who shows devotion to his fans and the company he wrestles for. After Rip refuses to wrestle for Brell (Kurt Fuller), the leader of another wrestling company, Brell discoverers a charismatic performer with whom Brell may destroy Rip. The antagonist in this movie and is African American. He is depicted as being physically powerful, mentally weak and morally bankrupt. He is used by the Brell, who represents white capitalists, to get more money.

Oh what you don't believe that this movie is racist what this: Click here
