Hulk Hogan has had one good role China,Illinois. And It was only because it was essentially himself. The man is a cartoon and I feel like that’s his perfect part.
@@richs180 Fun fact, that's Terry Bollea's real hair. To play "Hulk Hogan" he shaves off the top to make it look like he has male pattern baldness. Just goes to show how committed to his craft he is.
I remember watching this when it came out on TNT. It's pretty much the Expendables without the budget. Commando without Schwarzenegger. Predator without any of the talent. I don't really hate it, I'm just perplexed that it exists. What made it an oddity is that it came out when all the muscled, military, big gunned action films became an afterthought. The best thing going on for this film is Carl Weathers.
Want this gonna be a TV show as well? I remember it as a TV show for some reason. And the female lead joking about his car being a hummer. And a legendarily awkward scene where the team is introduced and they say hi and wave.
I like how that "minigun" looks in no way like a powerdrill hidden inside a box and glued to six plastic pipes sprayed metallic with a bit on the end to hold a party sparkler.
yeah just like Brian said in the video...the combination of the hairpiece and the lack of mustache makes him look super weird. I was thinking Dollar Store Kevin Costner from Waterworld myself but the Con Air Nic Cage is spot on lmao
@@skippythealien9627 it’s indeed one of the most unique looks that Hogan has ever seen back in his WCW days. Him without a moustache is like taking away his Hulkamania power.
Well a stiff looking Nick Cage cuz atleast Cage could move. Hogan's biggest problem even in wrestling was he didn't move a lot. How could he be a ninja with a back problem?
Billy Drago got so typecast as “creepy bad guy” at times. Heck this wasn’t even the first “sleazy drug lord” he played. Shannon Tweed was hot, and I give them credit for not damsel in distressing her at least.
Yep, Delta Force 2 main bad guy "sleazy drug lord" (with one of the best villain speeches right before he dies) and a weird drug lord/arms dealer in Invasion USA
@@Partyboy22 I remember him as BARBAS from CHARMED after that character it's all he played was variations of BARBAS the voice the mannerisms the body posture
Rip Trevor Goddard. Fraker was a decent role, but he will always be known as Kano in the first Mortal Kombat movie. Sadly, him and Darren Shahlavi (who played Kano in the webseries Mortal Kombat: Legacy) both have died. Hope the role isnt cursed.
I want to start a wrestling company just so I can put on 9 PPV's and name them "the beginning of the beginning", "the middle of the beginning", "the end of the beginning", "the beginning of the middle", "the middle of the middle", "the end of the middle", "the beginning of the end", "the middle of the end" and "the end of the end". At which point we'd close up shop.
I was kinda looking forward to Hogan knows best season 2 review, but I understand it's gonna take sometime and mental patience to get through that crap.
Just wanna show my love for the Arrested Development line. I haven't been able to watch anything with Carl Weathers without thinking about stew! Keep killin it Zane!!!!
Did anyone knew about this movie (besides diehard Hogan fans)? Off-topic, I can't wait to see Zane's review of ECW Heatwave 99 next week. For those who never saw it, Bubba Ray Dudley's promo on Dayton, Ohio is soooooo romantic lol.
Your impressions are amazing Brian, your Honky Tonk impression in your Starcade 94 review made me laugh. That hairpiece of Hogan's is what Hulk wishes what his hair was like.
Great video as always Brian. However, what you forgot to mention was that there was a major story that developed when this movie first aired on TNT. On Nitro, commentators hyped that the contract signing for the Starrcade 1997 Main Event would take place during the movie’s commercial breaks. Midway through the movie, they cut to a press conference with Hollywood Hogan barking at the media when suddenly Sting came in from the side door. Starring a hole through his advisory. Then Sting signed the contract without taking his eyes off of Hogan. Cue the flash photography as we kick it to more commercials then the rest of the movie.
I remember that nitro and getting annoyed at the commentors for talking about it so much. Even ignoring the matches. They turned everything they could into a excuse to plug it. I am sure it was Tony and Mike and Bobby's fault since they are usually the best team. I am sure Eric was giving them orders. Or it was Tnt that was giving them orders either way.
I LIKED Assault On Devil's Island. It was above average perfect B-list Action (if Shannon Tweed is in your Movie, it's definitely B-list,plus Billy Drago? *Chef's Kiss*)but Hogan's Hairpiece??..... EPIC
I love the part when they are suiting up and it turns into Batman lol. That’s exactly what was going on in my head. Great minds think alike I guess lol
Surprised they didn't have Hogan doing Tae Bo in the intro, or a random cut to Billy Blanks himself doing it. Though with the rest of the film, that might have pushed it over budget. lol.
GOD DAMN IT BRIAN!!!!! I thought you said you wouldn't show that Hogan "O" audio!?!??! You just had to slip it in, no pun intended. Couldn't resist, could you?!?!??!?
Asleep for 36 hours?! Well that blows my record of 17 out of the water... I wasn't recovering from a shark attack or anything, just a stage in my depression wherein I slept a lot.
Wow, dude. The fact that B Zane got none other than The Hulkster himself, brother. To do, not only the intro, dude. But the promo spot as well, Jack. That really says someth- What do you mean "Not really him"? Did you not watch the intro? Bro was used as much as Russo. Next-uh. You're going to tell me-uh. That he doesn't-uh. Really get Triple H. Uh!
I still remember WCW showcasing the contract signing for the Sting/Hogan match at Starrcade '97 during the premiere of this film. Idk about anyone else, but if it hadn't been for that, I never would've tuned in in the first place.
30 days from retirement, underwear clad , beautiful but deadly female agent, mystical, super human warrior, a Devil’s island, prisoner cage in water and a evil drug lord Billy Drago, how did I miss this?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love this movie because it’s terrible, a riot and it’s great 90s action cheese. Where else you’re gonna get Hulk Hogan, Apollo/Action Jackson, Kano, John Kreese, and Billy Blanks in same movie.🤣 Shannon completes the team really well and Drago appeared in a Michael Jackson music video if I’m not mistaken.
Billy Drago had a long movie career. He was in the Untouchables, delta force 2, invasion USA, Pale rider and Brisco County Jr. He mostly played villains but he was very memorable in those roles.
_"How come neither her nor the guard are sopping wet from the waste down from all the water they were just standing?"_ Cuz, to quote TH-camr Mike Bracken, _The Horror Geek,_ "continuity is hard" 🙂
3:34 This is Hulk Hogan if actually turned heel in the early 90’s like he claims. He said he would’ve been Hollywood Hulk Hogan, “Triple H” before Triple H existed.
Two things: The reason why they're not wet at 12:56 because they didn't forget to bring a towel. And the reason why that kick wasn't a killer and slowed down like so at 13:28 was so that Hogan could no sell, I guess? Ah, the second was weak, but you can't hate on a Towelie reference!!
Hogan's unparalleled charisma in wrestling compared to his completely non-existent charisma in movies is always a sight to behold.
Right? I've never understood that.
Meanwhile, the Rock, Austin, and I dare say even Kevin Nash have let their charisma really shine through in their roles. It's really interesting, eh?

The hairpiece alone is Oscar worthy.
Luckily they don't give Oscars for "made for TV" movies.

Hogan wishes he had that hairpiece for real 😂
The absolute joy in Brian's voice when Roy pulled out the minigun.
Real talk though this movie sounds like a fun watch if nothing else.
That advert at the beginning was easily some of your best work. That is how you do a proper tie-in. Absolutely amazing. Well done sir.
It's one of the best I've even seen. I actually watched it twice.
@@MartyArchibald I swear I thought it was the real Hulkster for a minute such a great ad
The usage of "dude" and "jack" in Brian's Hogan impression have the exact same rhythm as the flexing in Austin's Hogan impression.
Don't forget "Bruther!"
I remember watching this when it came out on TNT. It's pretty much the Expendables without the budget. Commando without Schwarzenegger. Predator without any of the talent.

…It literally has Carl Weathers in it. 😂
@@sharding14 I meant the directors and effects artist. Read it correctly next time
Poor Carl Weathers
I like how that "minigun" looks in no way like a powerdrill hidden inside a box and glued to six plastic pipes sprayed metallic with a bit on the end to hold a party sparkler.
Hulk Hogan Vs Kano was a fight I I didn’t know I wanted in my life.
Kano Hell Yeah
I love that Zane refers to the evil drug kingpin’s compound as “The Pornhouse”.
Hulk Hogan in this movie looks like if Triple H and David Carradine were the same person.
Dang that Hulk impersonation in the opening ad is spot-on. Uncanny
You got me on that little Kerry Von Erich swerve. 😂
I couldn’t even tell that was Hogan. He looked a lot like Nicholas Cage from Con Air on this one.
yeah just like Brian said in the video...the combination of the hairpiece and the lack of mustache makes him look super weird. I was thinking Dollar Store Kevin Costner from Waterworld myself but the Con Air Nic Cage is spot on lmao

Just admiring your Cage
I thought he sort of looked like if Shawn Michaels and Triple H had both stepped into The Fly's teleportation device together.
I would just like to take this chance to state : Z man is a true TH-cam legend. Best wrestling channel on here ❤

Yep, Delta Force 2 main bad guy "sleazy drug lord" (with one of the best villain speeches right before he dies) and a weird drug lord/arms dealer in Invasion USA
Iirc,he was also a demon on the original Charmed for quite a few episodes.
Speaking of typecast, Trevor Goddard here aka Kano was the same character somewhat in Deep Rising. RIP.
His role as John Bly from "The Adventures of Brisco County Jr." will always be my fave of his.
@@Partyboy22
I remember him as
BARBAS
from CHARMED
after that character
it's all he played was
variations of
BARBAS
the voice
the mannerisms
the body posture
Hunter- "Mike, you're bleeding again."
Mike- "bleeding is what I ain't got time to do."
Dude, your impersonations of wrestlers is pure talent! 😂😂 anyways, back to the video!
I like the idea of Young Brian being at Maccabiah Mania II. In my head, it's kayfabe and you were in attendance.
13:28: Hogan ain't sellin' no movie kicks.
Fun fact: The main bad guy Fraker also played Kano in the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie. One of his best roles. RIP to the actor Trevor Goddard.
RIP Carl Weathers 🫡
I love all the Hulk Hogan references in this. Damn this is a decent little tv movie.
Rip Trevor Goddard. Fraker was a decent role, but he will always be known as Kano in the first Mortal Kombat movie. Sadly, him and Darren Shahlavi (who played Kano in the webseries Mortal Kombat: Legacy) both have died. Hope the role isnt cursed.
I hope Josh Lawson is the outlier. I thought he was pretty good as the latest Kano.
It isn’t, there is no such thing as a cursed movie role. Feel relieved now?

At which point we'd close up shop.
"some weird uncanny valley Sh!t" That made me LMFAO
At first I thought "How did you get him to do this?" Your impersonation is amazing!
And the "O" noise pops up mid credits like a Marvel movie. Bravo.
Can’t believe it took me all of 2 seconds to realize that was Trevor Goddard. (Kano from Mortal Kombat.)

We're on a Hogan binge. And I'm loving it!! 🤣🤣
Okay, that SurfShark ad was actually really hilarious.
That Arrested Development reference got me by surprise ... well done sir.
Carl Weathers playing a cheap and crazy version of himself 😂

what about it?

For those who never saw it, Bubba Ray Dudley's promo on Dayton, Ohio is soooooo romantic lol.
Looks like the movie he made when he lost his mustache during the dark side Hogan experiment.
Has to be the one where he said a mom in the crowd taught her daughter how to suck dick LOL
I knew about it due to the advertisements on Nitro
I remember a minor digital satellite channel in the UK making a huge deal out of it about 10 years ago. It was very weird.
@@gaylordfocker7990 Damn Kevin Sullivan lol.
I think your “past me” nailed how we all feel about adverts on yt
I know you hear this all the time, but I really needed a good laugh today and you made it happen. Thank you, keep it up.
Ever notice Hogan never said “this doesn’t work for me, brother” when he was handed an awful script?
The arrested development stew line got me lol kudos
"Baby, you gotta stew goin'." I love a Arrested Development reference!
The Only Time Hulk Hogan's Acting Was decent was the Adult Swim Cartoon series China IL one of my favorite shows on the late night programming block
His appearances on Robot Chicken were fun as well.
Apparently you've forgotten about Gremlins 2
@@michaelsinger4638 His random cameo as Abe Lincoln in that one sketch was surprisingly hilarious.

In my teens any Shannon Tweed movie was an A+ movie to me lol
Martin Kove was in the sadly all-too-short-lived TV series "Hard Time on Planet Earth".
I love the part when they are suiting up and it turns into Batman lol. That’s exactly what was going on in my head. Great minds think alike I guess lol
Hogan battles a shark, underwater, while injured and after it jumped him from behind and yet Hogan still went over on the shark.
Well played for the use of Batman & Robin during "suit up time". Cracked me up.
Hahaha what's with Bischoff's facial expression around 3:00 during the promo. He looks worried and scared
The first promotional ad on a TH-cam video that geniunely made me laugh. Thanks, Brian.
Surprised they didn't have Hogan doing Tae Bo in the intro, or a random cut to Billy Blanks himself doing it. Though with the rest of the film, that might have pushed it over budget. lol.

That's a pretty solid Hogan impression.
Rest In Peace Carl Weathers
Wrestling With Wregret: the Tae-Bo Episode. This takes me back, lol
Should have had Carl Weathers call his minigun ol’ painless

-5 hours later-
Hogan: Now for the news

Billy Blanks sat behind me at ufc san jose 3. Nice guy. His crew was questionable.
So bizarre. Right before you started showing the footage, during the armor scene I was thinking “this seriously reminds me of Batman and Robin”
Automatic thumbs up for the ad transition 🤣🤣🤣 Brian, you're a genius 📚
Whatever you do. Do not stay for Brian’s end credits lmao

Nothing get me happier than seeing mister zane reviewing hulk hogan films
I get back from work, I see a new WWW review video, I click like my life depends on it.
