Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Woodyanders Evil television network president Brell (fiercely overplayed by Kurt Fuller) uses brutish means in order to force popular, but virtuous champion wrestler Rip Thomas (Hulk Hogan growling and grimacing with lip-smacking aplomb) to participate in a no holds barred brawl with ruthless and formidable behemoth Zeus (a furiously hammy portrayal by Tiny Lister).Gloriously ludicrous right from the first frame, with lots of tin-eared dialogue, broadly drawn characters, sultry brunette knockout Joan Severance providing the smoking hot love interest, plenty of choice WTF? moments (a scared limo driver does number two in his pants!), a head-banging hair metal theme song, David Paymer sniveling it up as obsequious lackey Unger, an absurd story, enough sweat to float a boat, outrageous action set pieces, savage fights, and even a cameo from Jesse Ventura as himself, this hilariously horrendous hunk of cinematic cheese rates as a delectably dreadful hoot and a half.

stormofwar 1. "Rip 'em" sounds A lot like "Rip one".2. Kicking the side of a limousine hard enough will not only embed footprints on exterior of the vehicle, but will also cause it to veer off course.3. Terry Bollea is so awesome that once said limousine parks, he explodes 10 feet into the area from the top of it.4. The Double Axe Handle is the most lethal move in wrestling.5. Lister (who plays the Big Bad Evil Guy Zeus) growls and grunts a lot, and still manages to be a more coherent than Bollea.6. All-American Heroes have little brothers that wind up crippled. All of them.7. Training montages include the villain grunting a lot while the hero helps his crippled little brother learn to walk again.8. Weight bars have the accuracy of a well-aimed bullet.9. Destroying the evil guy's training facility while being video taped does not lead to the hero being arrested.10. Evil TV executives are more like pirates than they care to admit.11. "Jock ass" is a metaphor for everything wrong with our society.12. Pushups in tighty-whities(Yellowsies?) are sexy.13. The script writers were high off of Vince McMahon's burgeoning ego.14. UFC has nothing on "Battle of the Tough Guys".15. Jesse Ventura looks like the Prince of Arabia.16. Having your turncoat girlfriend beat the snot out of her can be cured by some of the lamest one-liners in cinema history.17. The term "dookie" must always have a seen with certain visuals to emphasize how funny it is.18. Kurt Fuller did a full invocation of Shatner before filming.19. "Jock ass" is the greatest insult known to man.20. "Harley and Me, you and the tree" needs to be uttered before launching any mook into an oak.I actually don't outright hate this movie, but there are some movies that are best left forgotten. As you can imagine, i loved this movie as a kid, but there are some shadows that are best left in the closest. There are worse films, but not many.

utgard14 One of the all-time great howlers. This was made back in the days when Vince McMahon and pretty much everybody else in wrestling tried their best to keep the "secret" from being revealed. That secret being, of course, that pro wrestling is staged and choreographed. So you had movies like this and a few others from the time that treated it as though it was real. The plot to this is pretty stupid. Hulk Hogan plays a version of himself named Rip, who is the WWF Champion. Kurt Fuller runs a TV network that loses to wrestling in the ratings due to Rip's popularity. So Fuller tries to come up with his own pro wrestling alternative called Battle of the Tough Guys. Seriously. Through a series of ridiculous events that involve a lot of big men grunting and fake-hitting each other, Fuller discovers his own champion: Zeus, a hybrid of Mr. T and Frankenstein's monster. Zeus is played by Tommy "Tiny" Lister, who went on to a long career in everything from A-list theatrical releases to garbage that shows on the SyFy channel at 2am. The rest of the movie is a long wait until the inevitable showdown between Rip and Zeus.Hogan and Lister are both so awful you can't help but enjoy them. They snarl and growl and carry on like animals marking their territory every time they're face to face. The real star of the movie, though, is Kurt Fuller with one of the most over-the-top performances you'll ever see. He's got more ham in him than Porky Pig. Objectively, it's a terribly-made movie. Its only redeeming quality is that it has some merit as an unintentional comedy. For current fans of professional wrestling, it will all seem pretty dull. The wrestling matches mostly consist of guys clubbing each other with their forearms and posing a lot. For people who grew up with the Hulkster and the old school WWF like me, there's a lot of nostalgic appeal here. Fans of "so bad they're good" movies may also find something to like about this turkey. Many memorably bad scenes and corny lines. One of my favorites is when Hulk starts throwing food at two thugs trying to rob the diner he's eating at while the Hank Williams, Jr. song "All My Rowdy Friends" plays in the background. Movie gold.

cwbellor The world of professional wrestling is no joke. It's a dirty, grimy, take-no-prisoners world of evil network executives who hire rapists to deal with unruly female minions and brainwash ex-cons with unfinished unibrows to do their bidding. Throw in a damsel in distress, a gay pride helicopter, bathrooms flooded with bodily fluids and a kickass soundtrack of rocking inspirational songs and you've got No Holds Barred. Mr. Brell is a suit among suits. He is not so much an executive as he is a corporate dictator ruling over his own network dominion. One imagines him sitting in his office declaring a personal vendetta against things as elusive as weakness and as real as a feminist conspiracy to instate a masturbation tax…. while he gets his portrait painted and talks about the era of mediocrity that he must endure. Mr. Brell hates Jock Asses. Hence, he loathes Rip (Hulk Hogan) who refuses to work for him. Out of necessity, Brell acquires a ratings magnet in the vicious and possibly retarded Zeus. What follows is a balls2thewallbrawl between roid-ragin' beast of few words Zeus and wrestler, icon, role model, thespian Hulk Hogan. Make sure you're wearing a jock(ass)strap when you watch it because this movie will kick your ass in the ballz!
