A vehicle for popular wrestling celebrity Hulk Hogan, Suburban Commando is an inoffensive science-fiction fantasy. Hogan plays Shep Ramsey, a well-sculpted if somewhat dimwitted intergalactic hero.

Trying to look inconspicuous as an ordinary human being without special powers, he is befriended by a suburban family headed by Charlie Wilcox (Christopher Lloyd) and his wife Jenny (Shelley Duvall). Ramsey's stay isn't peaceful because he has such a keen sense of justice, which he dishes out to muggers, reckless drivers, and even smart-aleck paper carriers. In the end, he has to defend the family against his bold nemesis. ~ Michael Betzold, Rovi

    Stupid film, it?s the first of many of those kind of films made in the early 90's. The best of its kind mind so that's the only reason it gets a rating because the others won?t. I also like Christopher Lloyd and Hulk Hogan but this is not their finest hour

    Hulk Hogan is extremely likable as an outer-space bounty hunter in this humourous comedy.

    Hulk is really overacting here, but it is kind of funny in places.

    It's a Hulk Hogan movie. There's really nothing else to say.

    It's pretty sad that Surban Commando is Hogan's best movie. I don't even know why Christopher Lloyd was in it though. He's too talented to be in this.

    "I was frozen today!" is unquestionably the greatest single line ever uttered by a human being. Other than those glorious 5 seconds, this movie is boring and instantly forgettable.

Lat at night you ask yourself, "How do films like this get made?"

Hey, at least Hogan's consistent with his cinematic output. Consistently awful.

Hulk Hogan an alien? I suspected as much. Watch for the cameo by Mark "Undertaker" Callaway.
