I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

An interstellar hero from a distant world visits Earth, and tries to fit in with a mundane, yet kind, suburban family. I'm suprised that actors such as Christopher Lloyd and Shelley Duvall agreed to appear on this flick but i guess the money was good or something? Hulk Hogan plays Hulk Hogan there's nothing really into him or his character as a whole and i was just bored. The humor is recycled alot and there's only one or two chuckles the most. Undertaker's cameo was fine i guess and some of the special effects weren't that bad but still not a good film. (4/10)

I absolutely love this film, ever since I was little i remember having this on around once ever week. I wouldn't grow tired of it, maybe because I was a huge Hulk Hogan fan. Yes it does seem a little dated with it CGI if you can call it that, but i think is a great movie for all generations. There are so many moments of comedic value that me and my friends are constantly quoting and reminiscing about. It has a feel of a Arnold Schwarzenegger movie where there is constant great moments that can be enjoyed again and again. I would have to say this is probably my favourite Hulk Hogan film out of the ones he did. I love the soundtrack in this movie and I don't know why but it just seemed so cool at the time. and of course you cant go wrong with a cameo from The Undertaker with a comedy moment.

This was cheesy maybe even corny, but it was also enjoyable. This was one of the first movies I ever saw on video so this brings back memories for me. Hulk Hogan may not have had an acting career similar to the Rock's, but in all fairness Hogan is the prototype that all wrestlers turned actors are judged. I won't get into that as I'd much rather discuss it when I review Rocky Three sometime next year. On to Suburban Commando Shep Ramsay(Hogan) is an intergalactic warrior currently battling the forces of the evil General Zuiter. In the midst of this battle he ends up blowing the power in his space ship. He then ends up on "Earth" a planet he'd much rather avoid. Elsewhere Charlie Wilcox(played by Christopher Lloyd is struggling with his job. His wife asks him to get a raise but Charlie just does not have the guts to do it at this point. Shep Ramsay lands and while observing the town spots a sign that says apartment for rent. It just so happens that the apartment is Charlie Wilcox's Tool Shed(or lack thereof). Charlie views Ramsey as a threat and tries to kick him out, but before getting the chance Shep helps the Wilcox family with their everyday obstacle. Charlie later blasts a wall that gives Zuiter and his crew directions to Hogan's whereabouts. If anyone ever wondered where the Undertaker gave his first major appearance this film was it. I won't spoil the finish but the bonds of Shep and Ramsey become greater and greater as the movie goes on. This film is what any Hogan movie should have been, enjoyable, funny, and sometimes even witty. I'll give it a six because it did reek of Campiness but the campiness worked in this type of movie.

This movie gets funnier as I get older. Not a good sign, but oh well. Lets face it, this is no blockbuster film, but deep in your hearts that part of being a kid comes out and just laughs at this film. Hogan is the king of cheasy. The dialogue is hilarious and there really isnt a bad actor in this film. Lloyd is one of the better actors ive seen in my life and Larry Miller is always good for a laugh or two. Shelly isnt bad herself. I dunno, this movie fits some peoples humor and not others.
