Santa with Muscles Trailers

Penurious but muscle-bound Blake Thorne has made a vast fortune marketing health food and health supplements. He once was a nice fellow, but as his wealth increases, he becomes increasingly self-centered and decadent. One day, he gets in a great paint-gun fight that goes too far. Blake escapes the cops by running into a shopping mall, quickly donning a Santa Suit and pretending to be St. Nick. A head injury causes Blake to suffer amnesia, and an opportunistic "elf" decides to convince Blake that he is indeed Santa. This leads "Santa" to help save an orphanage, filled with adorable moppets, from the machinations of a greedy, insane doctor.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

the first 14 or 19 minutes it has nothing to do with Santa having muscles but when Santa gets muscles it is shown in the worst way possible and when Blake returns to himself in the worst way possible I was angry ultimately putting on the worst on my worst movie list. The Movie Is trying to be funny but sadly enough... THIS ISN'T EVEN HULK HOGAN'S WORST Piece OF "ART" I'VE EVER SEEN. No Wonder this is in bottom 100 but I think it should be #19 because there is a lot more movies worse than this deformed creature known as Santa With Muscles. I found the room Better because at least it was funny because Tommy was thinking we thought it was art

Although the movie is quite silly, it's great fun. Kids should love it. Parents don't have to worry about bad language. The plot is predictable ... well, with a few exceptions. You've got to love the secret that lies beneath the orphanage. Interestingly you'll see two folks from just a couple of years before they appeared on That Seventies Show. People that mention how some scenes don't make sense are totally missing the point - you're supposed to simply laugh at the bizarre plot. So, take a chill pill and just enjoy the antics. The villains are gloriously rotten. Robin Curtis was a surprise to see in a movie like this. All of the low ratings must be from folks that have never learned to laugh.

If ever there was a family holiday film that could kill the holiday spirit, this film is it. It makes "Jingle All the Way" and even "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" seem GOOD in comparison! And, if you ever meet anyone who hates Christmas, chances are that they saw this film! This movie is a cloying, annoying dud...the sort of contrived mess of a film that makes you want to tell Hollywood to STOP making holiday movies if this is the sort of crap they think the public could want! The film begins with Hulk Hogan playing some sort of combination rich guy, superhero, GI Joe wannabe and ninja. I am glad that his impressions of himself and his abilities are not in any way over-ambitious or egocentric! In a stupid freak accident, the Hulkster now thinks he's Santa and comes to the aid...I kid you not...of a home for orphans!! Folks, it just doesn't get any worse than this--or does it?! Well, in fact it does. You see, the evil man behind this is, naturally, Ed Begley, Jr. and I assume he wanted this property to build an electric car dealership. But, in a bizarre twist, it's to get a whole bunch of neon-like power crystals hidden in an underground vault! Say what?!?!? Begley's crew of evil villains look like the sort of baddies that might attack Barney the dinosaur. They are all really, really lame and are about as threatening as a mild case of dandruff. And, it's up to Hulk to kick some butt (wow, not a tough thing in this case), win the hearts of a whole bunch of cute moppets AND manage to make a family-friendly movie that involves lots of punching, kicking and other forms of violence! The film has absolutely nothing going for it other than Hogan's massive ego. The acting is crap, the script is crap, the action is crap and there is nothing...I repeat, NOTHING of any value to this steaming pile of....movie. What makes it worse is the 'surprise' twist concerning the villain and Hulk's childhood--which, oddly, neither seemed to remember! Sadly, anyone seeing this turkey of a film will not have the same thing occur--they'll never forget having wasted nearly an hour and a half on this snot-fest. This film easily deserves to be on IMDb's Bottom 100 list, as it's the worst vanity project I've seen in ages--and a family film which is too violent and stupid for kids and just about impossible for any adult to sit through without massive amounts of liquor.My favorite part of the film? Towards the end, one of the lame villains yells "It's gonna blow!!". He couldn't have been more right, though he probably should have said this at the beginning in order to warn people what they were in for seeing! I think I'd have rather seen "Chitty, Chitty Bang, Bang", "The Adventures of Pippi Longstocking" or even "Son of the Mask" instead of this movie--it was that bad!By the way, there is a worse Christmas film. The 1959 Mexican film "Santa Claus" is in the Bottom 100 as well and it is light-years worse! But, for a big-budget Hollywood Christmas story, "Santa With Muscles" takes the prize!

It's a simply awful movie, I caught on TV recently and I felt compelled to switch the channel after watching 20 minutes of it, Hogan is a terrible actor and whoever wrote this film should be expelled from their union or whatever they have... The Storyline of the movie is incomprehensible and is hard to follow by anyone that is older than 12...My sister didn't seem to mind it though... A terrible movie, I have seen all of Hogan's films and he has not been able to come up with a decent effort in any of his movies, If you Hogan as a main actor in a movie, just stay away from it and you'll be better for doing so. I couldn't believe my eyes and ears on how bad this is.
