Hulk Hogan’s career in Hollywood was strange

The member of the WWE Hall of Fame, Hulk Hogan, one of the most popular professional fighters of all time for a country mile, has died at the age of 71. Hogan’s contributions to sports entertainment were legendary, having been WWE’s most popular baby face during his golden age of the 1980s before helping the company’s main competition, WCW, became a force in the 90s. hindered by its tendency to star in some really strange projects.

After some memorable papers in “Rocky III” and “The A-Team”, Hogan decided to embark on a career as the protagonist. However, his success as a fighter could not be translated into the box office, with the fighter starring a series of failures, some of which have become infamous in the circles of “So-Bad-It’S-Good”. The first of the group, “No Holds Barred”, sees that the fighter turned into an actor explores a family territory, while placing a square circle fighter who blocked with a threatening heel known as Zeus (Tommy Lister Jr). The film also inspired a WWE story, since Hogan associated with Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake to face “Macho Man” Randy Savage and Zeus in “Summerslam” in 1989, an excellent example of the most questionable pop culture crossovers of Pro Wrestling.

After “No Holds Barred” could not give fire to the world and put himself in history as a great wrestling film of all time, Hogan pursued a variety of projects and tried to expand as an actor. With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of these films and television roles.

Say what you want about Hulk Hogan’s career elections, but his filmography is full of large swings (unfortunately, which led to more failures than successes). In “Suburban Commando”, he plays a space warrior who crashes on earth and tries to fit with a normal family, something like “Et the extraterrestrial”, but only if the alien was a giant brute with a mustache and a headband instead of a bright finger.

After that, Hogan lent his skills to “Mr. Nanny”, who sees him play a former professional fighter in charge of protecting two annoying children after his father bothers. This is similar to the “The Pacifier” of Vin Diesel, although with more muscular men who use tutus and dogs thrown into the water. However, despite his family -centered premise, “Mr. Nanny” was not a success, although that did not prevent Hogan from trying to entertain more children, as evidenced by the “holy with muscles” of 1996. In this, he plays a rich evil guy who is convinced that he is holy after hurting his head. While it is not considered one of the best Christmas films of all time, you will have difficulty finding another movie with a Santa with bigger pythons, brother.

Of course, not all Hogan’s performance outings were rags. He had a Pretty impressive Cameo goal in “Gremlins 2: The New Batch”, only to be replaced by John Wayne for the launch of the homemade video. “Thunder in Paradise” is also perfectly well if you are humorous for a cheesy “baywatch” imitation television series, but it is probably an acquired taste. However, despite his professional (and personal) failures, Hogan’s impact on pop culture was huge, especially as a fighter, and this is how he will be remembered by all his Hulkamaniacs.
