Suburban Commando video game review



Our 50th episode!  And yes, there was a video game version of Suburban Commando.

I actually watched this video last night and then went to Hulu to watch No Holds Barred, but amazingly the video would not play, as I can only surmise that my PS3 had enough of Hulk Hogan for one night.  

Comments

  1. Suburban Commando was one of the reasons Undertaker got signed to WWE.
    Think about that a sec.

  2. Wait, that info is from Hogan's infamous 2002 autobiography. So take it with a massive grain of salt.
    I guess it depends if filming really did begin in the middle of 1990. The movie itself came out in October of 91. But even then Hogan is most likely talking out of his ass and trying to take credit for something he didn't do.

    'Im suppose to be a wrestler, not a stuntman'

    cornette furiously nods in approval, not unlike calvin in the last panel

  8. Fuck this movie studio.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Wow, that sounds....interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  10. One of the worse covers I've ever seen. Doesn't bode well for the movie.. It would've been better if it was minimal or text only. Nothing about that cover makes me want to watch it.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Hacksaw just got arrested while riding in a car with a zombie and a bag of coke.

    ReplyDelete
  12. This is the same company that had Goldberg of all people doing comedy skits.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I think I remember reading that the producers were reworking ARod's scenes so that it doesn't use him. I think they were trying to get some funding for new scenes.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Better yet, they could give out the real Rey Mysterio....

    ReplyDelete
  15. Im guessing an ARod lawsuit is forthcoming....

    ReplyDelete
  16. I might stop reading these things. Not because of the reviews themselves, but because of the information in them. Most of these things make WWE employees sound like the worst humans on earth.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Wasn't Nash supposed to be in this too?

    ReplyDelete
  18. I was freaked out watching it because he's tied up, if it were to fall forward there's nothing he can do - he's getting crushed between the "symbol" and the ramp.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Ugh. Keeping A rod in it would make it even better.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Sting has always been a good talker with top level charisma. Not sure where that stigma came from around here...


    WCW's demise had zero to do with anything he did and TNA is obviously the same story.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I don't even know how to react to this...

    ReplyDelete
  22. There definitely needs to be a thread about the worst movies we've ever seen.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Well, at least the trailer shows Piper hitting a zombie with a coconut,

    ReplyDelete
  24. davidbonzaisaldanamontgomeryJanuary 31, 2014 at 9:19 PM

    Or basically, Linda McMahon after that.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Yeah, no. Dutch mantell helped undertaker get his job.

    ReplyDelete
  26. If this movie doesn't end with angle and piper battling a zombie Owen and zombie Eddie in a tag match, I give up. It's RIGHT THERE.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Fair review of it here: http://moviebuzzers.com/movie-reviews/movie-review-pro-wrestlers-zombies I love the part about Shane's changing footwear

    ReplyDelete
  28. Do you have a source for that? Cause Mantel was working for WCW when Taker debuted. Unless he just didn't give a fuck and helped Calloway out.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I was 7 when this movie came out and I was absolutely psyched for it. I loved it and even got Suburban Commando pajamas for Christmas that year. I had no idea a video game for the movie ever existed. It actually looks halfway decent from the review, I'm sure I would've loved it is a kid.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Q...O...T...D

    ReplyDelete
  31. "H-WHAT'S THAT SMELL?!??!"
    "Doooooo-kieee"
    "Dookie?"
    Immortal.

    ReplyDelete
  32. What exactly would he be a Franchise of? I get the gimmick in ECW in the 90's.

    ReplyDelete
  33. From the look at him I'd say he's the franchise of the buffet line.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Thanks, I appreciate that.

    And when I do shoot interviews, I try for all sorts of eras, not just the same ones over and over again.

    I can't wait for the WWE Network to broadcast this, with silhouettes of Road Dogg, John Matthews, and Puppet HHH in the bottom right corner.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Its a rough business that isnt for everybody...

    ReplyDelete
  37. Green Day named their breakthrough album after a line in a Hulk Hogan movie?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Well, Calloway is an American citizen.....

    ReplyDelete
  39. The only HH movie worth watching IMO, it's fun enough for a Sunday afternoon. No amazing Kurt Fuller "tell me something I don't know JOHNSTON!" kind of moments, but more credible actors around Hulk is a good thing.

    And Joe forgot to mention the Commodore 64 version of the game, which was an even more ridiculous release -- because not only was the license two years old, but it was a conversion for an 8 bit system that was long on it's last legs.

    ReplyDelete
  40. SYLVESTER TERKAY! I wondered what happened to that dude. I liked him. (I know, I was the only one who did, but still.)

    ReplyDelete
  41. Back in the day when Arsenio would have wrestlers on, they'd stay in character and he'd act genuinely scared of them. I remember Warrior and Zeus on his show flipping over furniture and making Arsenio run. This time Austin was just being himself.

    ReplyDelete
  42. You speak truth my friend.

    ReplyDelete
  43. All they needed was Sandman to show up, the movie would be done in 19 seconds and we'd never see them on TV again! (yet they'd try to use said 19 seconds to get them years of indy fame...)

    I can't recall him ever really injuring anyone, that probably helps.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Amsterdam_Adam_CurryFebruary 1, 2014 at 6:49 AM

    So is 2/3 of the people he mentions in this interview.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Here's a pretty fair review of the movie, which says it's good on a nostalgia level for wrestling fans. I love the point about Douglas' footwear magically changing.

    Somehow I think you're just joking, but I can totally see this happening. And a Sting/HHH match would suck. Badly. In 2001, that would be great, in 2014 it'll be a dumpster fire.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Amsterdam_Adam_CurryFebruary 1, 2014 at 7:12 AM

    Same here...

    ReplyDelete
  49. Amsterdam_Adam_CurryFebruary 1, 2014 at 7:15 AM

    And really, if you want to bring in a guy as the WCW icon, Goldberg is where the money is at. It's not like Sting was ever a draw to begin with, 97 excluded.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Amsterdam_Adam_CurryFebruary 1, 2014 at 7:16 AM

    And he's old. Like, Taker sees him and thinks "he's old".

    ReplyDelete
  51. Amsterdam_Adam_CurryFebruary 1, 2014 at 7:18 AM

    Unfortunately the company that did the Tupac hologram went bankrupt.

  52. Amsterdam_Adam_CurryFebruary 1, 2014 at 7:26 AM

    I saw an ad for nflshop.com where they want something like $35 for a Broncos/Seahawks conference champion hat. First off, why would you buy that in the first place (if your team loses tomorrow it's worthless, you'll look like a Bills fan wearing that shit), and second, $35 for a hat. Fuck outta here, a hat shouldn't cost more than $15, maybe stretch it to $20 for a nice New Era fitted.

    I want to say that Booker T's name is actually Booker T. something. I haven't a clue what Christian's real name is, though for some reason I think his first name is Jay. Jay Ross? Wait, no, that's Blitzkreig.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I last saw him on a regular basis back in 1999-2000 but I felt like he had a very birthday-magician vibe when speaking.

    ReplyDelete
  55. And he'd break apart at the podium.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Should we tell Brie to start running now? She does have 3 years though...

    ReplyDelete
  57. Target of course.

    ReplyDelete
  58. So that explains the beginning of WWECW....oh wait, that was just Tim Arson's career...

    ReplyDelete
  59. Shhhhhh....this will become the WWE's next main event angle (and don't think they wouldn't do it...think Eddiesploitation and Bearersploitation. Owen dodged the exploiting because of the lawsuit, and that other guy, well you know...)

    ReplyDelete
  60. Why RAW GM? The "Authority Figure" has become such a meaningless on-screen role now that we know HHH & Steph run most the show in kayfabe and real life. The Vickies, Teddys, Maddox', and Johnnys are pointless. It's not like Sting was ever some amazing promo guy either so, what exactly would make that role special?

    ReplyDelete
  61. Totally agree. Sting was never anything special as a promo guy. His hottest run was as a brooding guy who never said a word for a year and a half. A generic GM role???

    ReplyDelete
  62. Ironman match with Randy Orton. Punk will be completely refreshed

    ReplyDelete
  63. I love the idea of Sting's only WWE appearance being a HoF induction. No match, no RAW, no PPV, no wrestling. Just showing up, being recognized by Vince, and going home

    ReplyDelete
  64. Unfortunately, he tore his quad while leaving his trailer on the first day of shooting.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Im sure someone else can come up with a way to do it...
