It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Evil television network president Brell (fiercely overplayed by Kurt Fuller) uses brutish means in order to force popular, but virtuous champion wrestler Rip Thomas (Hulk Hogan growling and grimacing with lip-smacking aplomb) to participate in a no holds barred brawl with ruthless and formidable behemoth Zeus (a furiously hammy portrayal by Tiny Lister).Gloriously ludicrous right from the first frame, with lots of tin-eared dialogue, broadly drawn characters, sultry brunette knockout Joan Severance providing the smoking hot love interest, plenty of choice WTF? moments (a scared limo driver does number two in his pants!), a head-banging hair metal theme song, David Paymer sniveling it up as obsequious lackey Unger, an absurd story, enough sweat to float a boat, outrageous action set pieces, savage fights, and even a cameo from Jesse Ventura as himself, this hilariously horrendous hunk of cinematic cheese rates as a delectably dreadful hoot and a half.

Good movie for ONLY long time/die hard wrestling fans. Anyone else will highly not enjoy it. Its got some good lines here and there, and some may recognize some old wrestling faces (Stan Hansen for one). But this movies has some major red flags and bad ideas. Hogan's "kid brother" is hard to look at and really doesn't need to be in the movie, along with a few too many Hogan ass shots, and a attempted rape scene that turns instantly into a comedic chase scene, and lastly the final fight taking place in a 6- sided wrestling ring (which due to this bust of a movie may explain why Hogan dislikes 6-sided rings). All in all a stong stomach and a strong passion for wrestling is needed when watching this. At least its out on DVD now.

I'm surprised to see this with such a bad ratingOK the acting sucks The Story line isn't the greatest But It is funny. I actually Think this is a good movie for Kids I remember watching this when I was 10 My mate owned this movie. I'm not saying its the best But 3 stars Come-on I gave it 6 out 10 Cause its aim at kids 7 to 13 not adults. It is also very fun to watch.any way that is my peace, Just think when you vote "would you enjoy this when you were 10 years old." If the answer if yes then be a bit more generous with your vote If your sure you would think it sucksfine give it a crap vote

A thinly veiled attempt to push Hulkamania to the film going non-wrestling fan. What could be worse than Hogan in the movies? Bad actors in the wrestling ring, and this film produced both, as Tiny Lester made his way to the WWE that summer in the mother of all promotional blunders. See the dictionary under Oops. As a card carrying member of the stupid kids of the world paid to see this in theaters and when I came out I immediately checked into H.A. - Hulkamaniacs Annoynimous. I am proud to say I have been off the Hulk for 17 years now and have never had a craving since. Since this was made to bring in more fans to the juggernaut that was the WWE in Hogans hey day one has to wonder if there weren't more fans like me who turned to other past times that did not poison ones mind like this offense to celluloid did, such as huffing gas or Russian Roulette.
