It was nice of Hogan to wear his formal bandana for his fake wedding. Really classes up the occasion.
lance turley absolutely
Its not a bandana it a durag
Hulk Hogan is the reason wrestling sucks. FU Hogan
He wasn't wearing his formal fanny pack full of gimmicks though.
@@todwise7832 Okay, smark.
No matter what anyone ever says about this show or how cheesy it is revisiting it, Thunder In Paradise will always hold a special place in my heart. The perfect lead in/follow up to to Nitro on those Monday nights in 95/96!
10:37 I think Hulk Hogan's kiss is considered a submission hold, because she tapped out immediately.
That line delivery tho..... "This marriage....is based on commercial enterprise.....NOT LOOOOOOOVE?"
Dale? That you, bro?
Oh man, that show was so popular in Russia back in the nineties. I loved it as a kid. Hulk Hogan to us was "That guy from "Thunder in Paradise" with white moustache. And he's also a wrestler or something". Maybe it even was the main reason why we got WCW on our TV around '98-99.
Привет
In Russia, the boat drives YOU.
Yup. I remember coming to the states in 96 and watching WCW and saw NWO Hogan as the champion.
I thought, "that's weird, why is the Thunder in Paradise and Rocky 3 guy the champion here?"
Also Santa Barbara and Poirot were huge in the 90's Russia
what other american shows were popular in russia in 80s and 90s?
the look @ 17:31 is priceless.
I always looked at "Thunder in Paradise" as Hogan's attempt of having his own "Knight Rider".
Crossed w/ Baywatch. I guess he wanted to be the next Hasselhoff.
Isn't this basically "Knight Boat: The Crime Solving Boat" from The Simpsons?
They always find a canal too?
or an aqueduct
Or a fjord.
DONT YOU DARE QUESTION KNIGHT BOAT!
Gotta catch those starfish poachers!!!
Speaking of acting range, Jim Neidhart once again proves he can only emote through maniacal cackling.
You mess with thunder and that is what happens haha
I lost it when Hogan came up out of the water with the Camo face paint and Zane said he was getting ready for War Games. Took me back to that 95' Dungeon vs Hulkamanics cheese match. LOL!
I was hoping for a clip callback there lol
Lmao, I actually started watching WCW around that time, & actually liked Fall Brawl '95 at the time, lol.
LMFAO, do I ever remember the Thunder in Paradise films, & the short lived TV series, that aired Mondays right before WCW Nitro, in the first season of Nitro! I actually liked the series at that time, lol, but I was just a stupid kid at the time. Man, that scene of Hogan pretending to have an orgasm, & even just the thought of Hogan "ejaculating", is so cringeworthy, it's disturbing!! "shudders"
I miss the mid 90s syndicated market. You never knew what you were gonna get.
wstine79 I miss the 90’s period
wstine79 ? All of a sudden everyone likes big asses Vultures afoot?
TheHillbillyHybrid the 90s were the best ever tv and music
uh.....yeah you did.
Marcus Fenton where syndicated tv is scared of the message, youtube is horrified by their own messengers. all czw would need is one whine-ass complaining to start an anti violence campaign on youtube that eventually gets the wrestlers fired from their "real" jobs. this is fast becoming not the place to do business.
"They can't make me do the JOB when I'm all the way up here brother!"
Oh god that gave me a much needed laugh. Picturing Hogan in a tree hiding from Vince is hilarious.
Lulz…you ain’t kidding. That’s the best part.
Bruce, "Hulk, get down from the tree."
Hogan, "No way brother. If I'm up this high, it'll make my drawing power be high too. I'm not leaving."
Bruce, "Vince, Hogan is up in the tree again."
Vince, "Again?!? I thought we had that thing cut down after last time."
Bruce,"Yeah, we did. But he found another tree."
Vince, "Dammit Terry! Why can't you be normal like Bruno was?"
Hogan only chose vanity projects where he looks like the conquering hero
SO!?! You can't tell me "gentlemen" that if you had the money and the opportunity, that y'all wouldn't be doing the same DAMN thing!!!
@@wenis-me9678 ummm....
>be Dwayne Johnson
>has charisma in par with Hogan
>was better wrestler
>shoot humble, chill, likeable guy
>has the opportunity
>has the money
>has work ethic
>is now the biggest draw in Hollywood
>still not a shoot egomaniac
Sooo...he was like every other 90's action hero.
16:55 Hogan's ironic foreshadowing of his scandal. WOW...
Gotta love foreshadowing.
Is Hogan off filming Blunder in Paradise again?
Thank you, Kevin Nash.
Look at the adjective, FILM
LMFAO, I completely forgot about Nash saying that! Little did we know at the time, that Hogan was the third man, lol.
That actually worked well to cast doubt on Hogan being the third man
@@mgb4692 LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! I woke up the neighbors reacting to this one. Worth it tho. You win my comment section of the day award sir!
@@mgb4692 "WE DON'T FILM!" Uh ya do, big Kev. Surprisingly decent projects too.
Rock has become a bigger star because Rock is a better actor, more charismatic & naturally more likable
Pretty much lol. Rock seems like he's a genuinely nice guy whereas Hogan just comes off very dickish.
Also because at the start he was respectful to others. When he did the Star Trek: Voyager crossover he didn't turn up being The Rock the biggest star of SmackDOWN but respected everyone else and go on with what he was told. A couple of years later when they were looking for a big dude to be The Scorpion King in 'The Mummy 2' he got the gig because of his attitude on Voyager, basically someone said get him as he isn't a diva and the rest in history.
Talking of diva's Lita took the opposite approach and she was dropped from the 'Voyager' episode after one day and apparently screamed at by Vince for pissing off people at UPN.
Let's be real, Rock's made some stinkers too
Helps that Rocky hasn't said anything as dumb or offensive (outside the ring, anyway) as Hogan's racist rants that's basically got him blacklisted from WWE.
Marc Quill Hogan's acting career failed because of something he had not yet done at that point? Very interesting theory...
We have arrived. I remember the show playing those reruns every week leading into WCW Nitro.
I love the old 80' movie trope where the heiress has to marry someone before a certain age or they loose their entire inheritance! I'm totally going to put that clause in my will for my kids!
Only works if you're rich.
It's a fun twist!
The uncle is played by Patrick Macnee. May he rest in peace
This one of those shows that felt like it had more seasons then it actually did.
I remember watching this movie over and over again on a recorded vhs when I was 5 years old. The underwater part really stuck LUL
In the 90s a woman that could tie a cherry stem with her tongue was the ultimate sexual godess
buckingham412 implying that a woman with that much dextirity in her tongue isn't a sexual goddess now?
michaelkeha+ A millenial sex goddess? don'T make me laugh!
buckingham412 Dude if I could find a metal head chick 5.8-6.3 packing a 6 pack tattoos and piercings with curves in all the right places who could do that to a cherry stem I would marry her today
Audrey Horne
What about Kakoyin?
I remember watching this as a kid and loving it. nowadays it looks like something you watch with your friends just for the lols, basically just like everything Hogan has ever done outside (and sometimes inside) the ring.
Zane's reaction at the end.... priceless
I loved watching the tv series as a kid. My whole sunday afternoon was dedicated to the line up of Thunder, Baywatch, and Robocop the series.
That being said, the sound Hogan's vinegar strokes still haunt me to this day, and I was afraid that they would be included in this video.
They cast Giant Gonzalez as Earthquake but NOT John Tenta? Whe he's a big strong man who's also one of Hogan's mates?!
I actually loved watching this show when it aired. Wouldn't mind a dvd release for nostalgia purposes.
"...Shot around Mania 9."
Hulk always claimed it a rogue JetSki gave him a black eye.
Wait a second, filming for this show began in April 1993 and Wrestlemania IX was on 4 April 1993. I'll be damned. Now I have to wonder was Hogan practicing/watching other JetSki to prepare for the role or did him come up with the JetSki story because he filming Thunder in Paradise right after Mania?
filming for the series was in 1993, filming for the film (which was retconned as the first two 'episodes' of the series) was completed around Apr 1992 .
Basically someone pitched Hogan an idea for a movie in late 91 or very early 92, he took it, they filmed in Spring 1992. That was 'Thunder in Paradise'. At some point after wrapping the 'film', but before it's official StraightToVideo release, someone pitched doing a t.v. series, and that was filmed at Disney sometime in mid 1993. The 'film' was then released in Sept. 1993, a year and a half after filming. 6 months later, the 'film' was then labeled as the first two episodes of the series, which had it's first official broadcast as a two-parter in March 1994. Four other episodes in the first season were then spun-off as two 'stand alone' sequels to Thunder in Paradise, and released STV as well.
I would love to see OSW review this.
So we're doing Baywatching with Wregret?
Holy shit, around 9:00 minutes in, its Charlotte Rae! Mrs. Garret from The Facts of Life
review the 2nd part. This is too funny
I used to watch this on ITV in 1995.
Two more things of note:
First, the New Generation Project Podcast pointed out when they reviewed this pilot movie, Carol Alt, who played Kelly, had a weird quasi-New York/Boston accent in both that and the first half of the show's run (including the second movie a.k.a. "Sealed with a Kismet")
Eventually, she dropped said weirdo accent for her regular voice in the second half of the show's run, which included the third movie a.k.a. "Deadly Lessons".
Second, there was never really much in the way of actual threat or peril during any of Spence and Bru's adventures.
For example, oh, it's Tuesday: Jessica's been kidnapped and we've got to save her; that's cool, as long as we get it wrapped up before the end of Wednesday, because Thursday, Kelly's being kidnapped and will need rescuing. And then Friday, a face from our past will show up to settle the score with us, but it will all be wrapped up in 45 minutes, and the final shot will be of us drinking at the Scuttlebutt, laughing, or both.
That's it, that's the formula of Thunder in Paradise.
Never made connection that Thunder was the Hulkters show like Smackdown is the Rocks show
16:31 is probably the funniest part of this to me, watched it a couple times over.
The "old man Tronsen!" comment was simply the best wrestling call back you could have made. I honor you sir.
I now see why Nash asked if Hogan was off shooting another episode of “Blunder” in Paradise when he debuted for WCW.
That Hulk Hogan moaning makes me super uncomfortable.
Megan passed out when getting air because Hogan farted in the popcorn bag.
Okay Phelous
The Nostalgic Stino Stamos
I couldn't resist. That joke makes me laugh every time.
His reviews of those movies was kind of annoying and I do enjoy his content, but in those reviews reviews he kept singing the Real American guitar riff to the point where I was sick of it. And I love that song.
The Nostalgic Stino Stamos I could see that, but I hate Hulk Hogan so I never get tired of seeing him mocked in any fashion.
There was no way he was going to put her over, BROTHER.
So the Uncle let someone install a Camera to watch his Niece having Sex?!?.
no, not creepy at all.
Where money's involved "families" have been known to do far worse. If her uncle Edward was trying to prove that they were involved in a marriage of convenience, the fastest way to refute that theory is by consummating their marriage. Now that it's on tape, Uncle Edward legally doesn't have a leg to stand on. (Once the expert that installed the device gave him his opinion, "that that couple was in love" that was all she wrote...
I squealed when I saw Melina's puppy!!
Brian, I swear your videos get better with every single episode. There were literally like half a dozen moments where I was laughing so hard, I had to hit pause. Awesome job as always!
TBF the rule only said she had to get married it never said they had to be in real love.
The sad part is that, despite all the shenanigans, Megan get killed in a car accident in the TV series. So Uncle Edward ends up owning the hotel anyway. But, they turn him into a good guy and Spence adopts Jessica an co-owns the Scuttlebutt bar and grill with Kelly.
I remember watching this show as a kid. Around about the same time as WCW was on ITV (this was in the UK) so I was more familiar with Sting than Hogan, who I only knew from toys, this show, and that cartoon where he fought Roddy Piper and the other heel wrestlers.
Suburban Commando next please
LoL. That was awful. Even as a kid that movie sucked.
MAX 330 I WAS FROZEN TOODDAAAYYY!!!!
MAX 330 The movie the Undertaker wants us to forget.
is that the movie with the dookie scene?
Aggbala That's No Holds Barred
They just don't make 'em like they used to. Perfect analysis. I wish they'd release a Blu-ray set with Hogan on commentary.
I LOVED this friggin show when I was a little girl! Omg that boat was amazing. I even named my bike Thunder. Lmiao. Oooh, Saia. 😞
Ehrisaia O'Shannon This came on either Saturday afternoon or Saturday night! Best show I ever saw!
Deric Kennedy Yeah I remember it coming on Saturday afternoons here in Michigan. And I quit whatever I was doing to watch it too. Lmiao.
Lol hell yeahh.. this show rocked.. I want them on dvd
MARRY ME
"So was this show just an outlet for Michael Berke to get out the ideas he couldn't get away with on Baywatch?" After watching Alison Pregler's videos on both shows, I can safely say yes. Yes it was.
There Was Also "Baywatch Nights" (Particularly Season 2, in Which that Show Tried to Go Full "X-Files" till It Was Canceled a While Afterwards)
I remember bits and pieces of this. Must've been 7 or 8 when it was showing but I remember being hooked! Always thought Hulk's sidekick looked like David Hasselhoff, which, along with the sunny beaches setting, gave it a Baywatch vibe. Better keep the fond memories and not rewatch it now! :D
I had a "taped" vhs of the first movie when I was growing up. It wasn't until many years later, I realized Thunder In Paradise wasn't a movie or a classic in every household VHS taped archives.
Mr. Kilmer is Flash Gordon Brian!
i love these late 80s and 90s stereotypical action movies/series. i have pretty recently watched Renegade with lorenzo lamas (93-97) and i remember jesse ventura made an apperence as a villian in one episode. im currently watching some baywatch just for nostalgia reasons aswell. tho i have to say renegade was a pretty good series. but man, i miss the mid 90s to some degree. 90s overall was such a strange decade aswell
Yeah, I remember it did have a weird surrealism at times
Let me guess, you're watching Renegade on H & I
nah im not from america and those kind of series/movies dosent air anymore on my channels. so i have to go the cheap way to see it again :(
Don't forget Hercules
Renegade was actually good.
Rock is THE actor right now, not disputing that. But I think that Bautista has been in better films. Guardians of the Galaxy, Blade Runner 2049, Spectre. Those are some heavy hitters right there.
I didn't think about it till now, but he actually has been in better movies than the rock
Omega Mark wwhhhhaaaat?! But what about all those Dwayne classics like... Tooth Fairy... and..... Baywatch.... and.... all those super great fast and furious movies..... ooohh.
Don't forget Escape to witch mountain! A modern classic
Dave Bautista has been in some good movies. And I think he's done a great job as Drax. He really cracks me up. HOWEVER, you'll also notice he's not top billing movies... or even close to top billing... YET. So, I'm unwilling to compare the quality of movies between him and the Rock... maybe in the future.
i believe that bautista will get an oscar before the crock does.
I think the cherry stem tying joke you made may have been the funniest joke I’ve ever heard made on this channel. At least for me.
Mrs Garrett on the beach!!🇨🇦😂
As a 12/13 year old I was a big fan of this show. Just the right mixture of fun and wrestling content.
I've been a fan of your show for years, Brian, and I can say no episode has made me laugh harder than this one (the Braun Strowman song comes in a close second.) Keep up the awesome work. As long as you keep producing excellent content, I will keep watching. Thanks for the great laugh.
Many people forget that Thunder in Paradise was the lead in show that came on before Monday Nitro in 1995
Those were the days
Wrestling programs
wrestlers in shows or movies
Basically everything wrestling related in those days we watched
not gonna lie, this got me into wrestling, watching this lead me to watch old WWF tapes and I then i moved to watching Sunday Night Heat and once in a while I watched Raw
The biggest thing I remember about Thunder in Paradise is the TNT promos. I can literally still hear them in my head.
I love that the inside of the boat is about seven times larger than the actual boat.
Your videos are an excellent medication for depression. Thank you Brian.
Weird. I was expecting Malcolm & Tamara & Rob to show up in this video.
The hotel is The Don CeSar located on Saint Petersburg beach. I lived on Treasure Island from 1989-1995. I used to swim to St Pete beach across a small channel when I wanted to visit my friends that lived over there. Seeing The Don CeSar just gave me huge nostalgia! And made me miss home...I currently live in Albuquerque which is landlocked
I remember this show, but I didn't know they did a couple of movies from it. The seagull saying" hello guys! Oh you are shooting a movie, that's cool" killed me! XD
as noted the "Movies" aren't Movies, they're either two episodes mashed together... or 2-part episodes cropped to hide the 'To be continued'
You didn't get into wrestling until the late 90's?? W.O.W.!!! Well...I'm glad you did and you are in my top 5 wrestling channels on YT. Great stuff
OK OK OK Flash Gordon was in this and Mrs Garett from the facts of life. I actually enjoyed this show it came on TNT good cheesy fun. And I loved Suburban Commando.
Me too
We probably missed the episode, where it was revealed that Hulk Hogan's character was given the Super Soldier Serum.
Maybe that would've been in the next season?
I loved when Kevin Nash called this show “Blunder in Paradise”!
I definitely remember the Thunder In Paradise video game for CD-i. It sucks you never play as Hulkster or even Jack Lemmon's son in the game. Instead, you play as frickin J.T. from "Step By Step" (which was actually a pretty good show in the 90's). That little decision didn't make a very good game (oh, and because the fact that it was interactive).
Lucas Hackett It was a CD-I game. It would never be good.
The real red flag was that it was on CDI.
Can't argue with that one. The CD-i sucked ass.
We now return to Knightboat: The Crime Solving Boat.
DUDE. The cherry stem thing holy hell lol. I always thought the same thing and it was hilarious hearing someone else say it
I absolutely LOVED Thunder in Paradise. Partially because of Keke Shepherd though.
LOL, this was awesome, I used to love this show and it's theme song back in the day, never missed an episode hehe.
Hogan paved the way for The Rock and the other's who made tv & movie appearances.
I actually enjoyed Thunder in Paradise. It was a great underrated series have should have gotten a max of 4 seasons. A little cheesy but great.
But thanks, I NEVER knew about the film's.
You think Hogan was the first wrestler on tv or in a movie? Are you trolling yourself or do you really believe that?
I don’t think Hogan paved any ways. The Rock started with minor roles and worked his up. It took The Rock about 7 years or so to be considered a “legitimate” actor and another 7 years or so to be considered a box office success.
Wait, I'm watching wrestling with wregret? I didn't know that
Oisin Lynch 😂
One of my Top 5 Most Wanted Episodes. Thank You Brian.
Would love to see an XPW retrospective sometime.
I actually loved this show when it was on I remember they would play reruns on like TNT or something mid morning/afternoon and if I stayed home from school i'd watch 2 or 3 a day haha.
The literal translation with the dog song, totally cracked me up
I actually liked watching this show back in the 90's. It came on either before or after Nitro on Monday nights before the nWo started.
Say what u want bout Hogan and all his fantastic politicking but as a homie 2Beefcake he is very VERY loyal friend...
Was.
and I'm sure is sidekick being named "Bru" (even if short for Brubaker in universe) is a Brutus reference
On the Monday Night War series on WWE Network, they say Hogan voluntarily quit this show because he missed wrestling.
@wrestling with wregret it's been a year!!! Give us part 2 and 3 of these thunder in paradise movies!
Why 3 ninjas with Hulk Hogan WILL always be a classic.
seriously? you call that awful film a classic?
I liked the other 3 Ninja movies much more though
No Facts of Life reference? For shame
the Thunder was the M.A.S.K. version of COBRA's Moray from G.I. Joe mixed with KITT's pursuit mode
Not to mention it had TARDIS technology to make it bigger on the inside.
My god, Old Man Tronson, that video was the first one I ever watched from you. still love it to this day.
Hysterical! Needed this, thank you!
Oh God!!! I still remember the theme song!!!!!!!!!! THUUUUUNDER! THUNDER IN PAAAAAAARADISE!!!!!!!
I'll go to hell now, later!
Ajax Johnson and hulk hogan says " see you in paradise "' lollll goddamn i miss the 90s!
Im more partial to the 2nd outro that they introduced later in the series...……
When the sun comes up
in paradise....(reggae style)
I always remember falling asleep as a kid to the lyrics..
THUNDER....IN PARADISE
MESS WITH HIM, ITS LIKE ROLLIN THE DICE!...…...
Lemonade 7 (Cue facepalm) How could I forget! Lol
Followed by a Baywatch rerun! Lmfao!!!!!
Ajax Johnson hell yeah
i used to love that theme! used to always get stuck in my head too lol
never thought I'd hear the name "Old Man Tronson" again...
These videos are always great, you're the man Brian
Omg, that scene with Hulk climaxing LMFAO!
Kilmer = Flash Gordon.
18:09 hulk Hogan says "who's pretending".
that beach patrol song is awesome! thanks for that Zman
15:18 LOL! I remember watching this when I was a little kid when it first came out
i actually really enjoyed this series growing up as a young kid. it was a highlight of my Saturdays and actually decided to rewatch it a few months ago.
I think it was just good cheesy family friendly tv which was no different to most 90s shows back then.
Any chance of a review on the series?
clearly, brian doesnt know about the grand glory of the T.A.R.D.I.S. as if he did he would know that terry hogans thunder boat clearly has some of that tech, bigger on the inside type of stuff
Hulk Hogan as Dr Who...... I'd pay to see it.
Definitely the TARDIS Effect
@@jreese2474 you want to get the show cancelled?
My dad loved the show , always watched it together with me^^ I tear up every time i see it now...
Sidenote: The sx scene was cut short in the german version. THANK GOD!
Random fun fact! Because of something known as the Cuban Adjustment Act which was enacted in 1966 by Lyndon Johnson those people Brian referred to as illegal immigrants actually would not have been illegal at all. In practice the CAA makes it so that any basically native Cuban who can make it to the US can get a visa and eventually permanent citizenship here. Eschewing the normal restrictions for legal immigration into the US such as (and this is directly from the bill) showing a reason for residence, and entering into a legal port of entry. This is ESPECIALLY true if they were "persecuted, or feared persecution" in Cuba. Which I think includes sneaking around avoiding pursuit until finally egressing under a hail of gunfire with the assistance of Hulk Hogan.
