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)

Far too many phenomenal flicks to remember at once.

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.

I’m sure that drinking a supertanker of wine every two hours didn’t help, but Andre had some other health issues that caught up with him in the end.

Haha, those were so bad they were awesome!

Did you also know that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito were given first choice between Suburban Commando and Twins?
Hogan & Christopher Lloyd would get whichever was left.

New Line Cinema then immediately acquired the rights to SC in hopes of doing a little better than No Holds Barred faired.

Arnold, DeVito, and Hogan have all mentioned this in interviews over the years.

I'm not sure if I could see Arnie in Suburban Commando.  Twins was definitely the better choice.

It just dawned on me that if you take away the frilly skirt thing, that’s basically Bret Hart’s ring gear.
