Suburban Commando video game review

By


Our 50th episode!  And yes, there was a video game version of Suburban Commando.

I actually watched this video last night and then went to Hulu to watch No Holds Barred, but amazingly the video would not play, as I can only surmise that my PS3 had enough of Hulk Hogan for one night.

    Suburban Commando was one of the reasons Undertaker got signed to WWE.
    Think about that a sec.

    Wait, that info is from Hogan's infamous 2002 autobiography. So take it with a massive grain of salt.
    I guess it depends if filming really did begin in the middle of 1990. The movie itself came out in October of 91. But even then Hogan is most likely talking out of his ass and trying to take credit for something he didn't do.

    One of the worse covers I've ever seen. Doesn't bode well for the movie.. It would've been better if it was minimal or text only. Nothing about that cover makes me want to watch it.

    I think I remember reading that the producers were reworking ARod's scenes so that it doesn't use him. I think they were trying to get some funding for new scenes.

    Sting has always been a good talker with top level charisma. Not sure where that stigma came from around here...


    WCW's demise had zero to do with anything he did and TNA is obviously the same story.

    Do you have a source for that? Cause Mantel was working for WCW when Taker debuted. Unless he just didn't give a fuck and helped Calloway out.

    I was 7 when this movie came out and I was absolutely psyched for it. I loved it and even got Suburban Commando pajamas for Christmas that year. I had no idea a video game for the movie ever existed. It actually looks halfway decent from the review, I'm sure I would've loved it is a kid.

    The only HH movie worth watching IMO, it's fun enough for a Sunday afternoon. No amazing Kurt Fuller "tell me something I don't know JOHNSTON!" kind of moments, but more credible actors around Hulk is a good thing.

    And Joe forgot to mention the Commodore 64 version of the game, which was an even more ridiculous release -- because not only was the license two years old, but it was a conversion for an 8 bit system that was long on it's last legs.

    Back in the day when Arsenio would have wrestlers on, they'd stay in character and he'd act genuinely scared of them. I remember Warrior and Zeus on his show flipping over furniture and making Arsenio run. This time Austin was just being himself.

    Somehow I think you're just joking, but I can totally see this happening. And a Sting/HHH match would suck. Badly. In 2001, that would be great, in 2014 it'll be a dumpster fire.

    And really, if you want to bring in a guy as the WCW icon, Goldberg is where the money is at. It's not like Sting was ever a draw to begin with, 97 excluded.

    I saw an ad for nflshop.com where they want something like $35 for a Broncos/Seahawks conference champion hat. First off, why would you buy that in the first place (if your team loses tomorrow it's worthless, you'll look like a Bills fan wearing that shit), and second, $35 for a hat. Fuck outta here, a hat shouldn't cost more than $15, maybe stretch it to $20 for a nice New Era fitted.

    I want to say that Booker T's name is actually Booker T. something. I haven't a clue what Christian's real name is, though for some reason I think his first name is Jay. Jay Ross? Wait, no, that's Blitzkreig.

  63. ATL_2014February 1, 2014 at 8:54 AM

    Why RAW GM? The "Authority Figure" has become such a meaningless on-screen role now that we know HHH & Steph run most the show in kayfabe and real life. The Vickies, Teddys, Maddox', and Johnnys are pointless. It's not like Sting was ever some amazing promo guy either so, what exactly would make that role special?

    ReplyDelete
  64. ATL_2014February 1, 2014 at 8:55 AM

    Totally agree. Sting was never anything special as a promo guy. His hottest run was as a brooding guy who never said a word for a year and a half. A generic GM role???
