Oh, there are so many…

Hell Comes to Frogtown – Roddy Piper

Mr. Nanny – Terry “Hulk” Hogan

Suburban Commando – Hogan & introducing The Undertaker

Bodyslam – Piper

Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe – Jesse Ventura & Ty Ventura (cameo)

Firepower – Jim “Ultimate Warrior” Hellwig

The list goes on…
Far too many phenomenal flicks to remember at once.

Terry Funk in Paradise Alley with Sylvester Stallone was pretty good.

Hogan fought Zeus in No Hold Barred and at that year’s Summer Slam PPV.
They never faced each other at Mania.

Really…
You're a nice guy, Geo, but your wrestling "geekness" is weak and pitiful.
Now please confine your shame to the alphabet boards.

I'm waiting for this to come out on DVD.  Partly cos everyone says it's good, and partly to see Marisa Tomei naked.   ;)

I think Ron Howard said that Andre's hotel tab while filming came to something like $43,000.00
And it was all spent at the bar!

'Rumble in the Jungle', with The Rock was quite good. 

Is 'Walking Tall' worth a watch?

My GF’s mum loves Walking Tall – mainly because she loves The Rock.

I’m gonna have to get her a copy of The Scorpion King!

I didn't enjoy Scorpion King much.  I like a daft cheesy action movie as much as the next guy, but that one was cheese overload.

I think the biggest reason it did well was that Rock was so hot (popular) at the time.
