Disaster Movie
Wrestling legendHulk Hoganhas graze up in a surprisingly high-pitched number of motion-picture show roles fromGremlins 2toMr . Nanny , but what are his best parts , and which were his bad ? Before the the likes of of Dwayne " the Rock " Johnson , John Cena , and evenThe Girl on the 3rd Floor ’s Philip Jack Brooks ( formerly CM Punk ) transitioned from the camp theatrics of professional grappling into the more mainstream arena of movie stardom , Hulk Hogan was one of the earliest grappling icons to bestow his play talent to Hollywood .
Long before he was best known for suing Gawker , Hogan was a world - noted hand-to-hand struggle image and a wannabe role player who render his hired hand at self - cognizant funniness , un - ironic activity stardom , and even one ill - judgedChristmas movie . With fourteen movies to his name , it ’s no small chore to go through Hogan ’s entire filmography .

That said , the prospect of ranking the fabled wrestler ’s moving picture makes this deep dive into his questionable screen history well worth the effort . Starting with a pocket-size office inRocky IIIway back in 1982 and ending with his most recent onscreen expedition , 2011’sGnomeo and Juliet , Hulk Hogan ’s film history is a land of contrasts , to say the least , and the motion picture that the Hulkster has cropped up in vary in calibre as much as tone .
The Ultimate Weapon
The worst of Hogan ’s many weak efforts , 1998’sThe Ultimate Weaponcombines some impressively ignorant delineation of outside politics with monotonic lead performances and drab , leaden pacing into abig - budget failurethat makesLittle Herculeslook like a chef-d’oeuvre .
Mr. Nanny
Most notable for rive off the already pretty weakMr . mummy , this crime syndicate comedy sees Hogan misuse his acting talents playing ( as the statute title implies ) a male nanny . It ’s a weak one - joke premise , but that was n’t enough to stop Bautista and Cena from both ripping off this already - weak premiss withThe PacifierandPlaying With Firerespectively .
Little Hercules
Somehow nab the service ofHome Alone ’s John Heard andThe Long Goodbye ’s Elliot Gould , this sticky 2009 comedy saw Hulk roleplay Zeus while the title role get going to the bodybuilder of the same name . Theoretically a star vehicle for Richard “ Little Hercules ” Sandrak , this jape - free dud instead go under without a trace and put his stardom to an early ending .

Santa With Muscles
StarringMila Kunisin her first major movie role , Santa With Musclesmay still be the actor ’s worst part to date . This ill - judged family comedy sees Hogan act a billionaire whose head trauma go out him convinced he is the titular endowment - giver , resulting in a thinly - veiledHome Alone rip - off which manage the telling feat of still appearing on “ bad movies ever ” lists decades after it debuted in theatres .
No Holds Barred
Reviled by critic , Hogan ’s large - covert debut made the mistake of let the actor basically play his grapple persona in an poorly - judged wrestling - centric action movie . A handful of firm fight episode ca n’t make up for this one ’s terminal lack of imagination .
McCinsey’s Island
Almost entirely forgotten ( with no inspection to date on Rotten Tomatoes ) , this youngster ’s funniness sees Hogan play a secret agent who goes up againstBond girl Grace Jonesin his lookup for some mythical buried treasure . As far as Hogan ’s Kyd pic go , it ’s no3 Ninja : High Noon At Mega Mountain , but it ’s at least not notably bad enough to be singled out for " worst movie ever " lists even 10 by and by .
The Secret Agent Club
Hogan is miscast here as a toyshop owner / hole-and-corner agentive role , but this kid - friendly spin onTrue Liesnonetheless gets a few fun scenes from his kids using the booby - snare toys that Hogan ’s store stocks to rescue their hulking pappa from terrorists .

Suburban Commando
well than most of Hogan ’s folk comedies , this sci - fi military action flick welfare from a surprisingly solid supporting cast of characters in the form ofThe polishing ’s Shelley Duvall andDoc Brownhimself Christopher Lloyd . It ’s not perfect , but with action , a decent dramatis personae , and a handful of laughs , this one trusted beatSanta With Muscles .
Spy Hard
Most renowned for being script by the then - very - young film writer ofDisaster Movie , Spy Hardremains the ingenious and funniest parody ever put together by the ill-famed Friedberg and Seltzer . Unfortunately , that ’s not saying a lot , and this 1996 dud only boasts a smattering of curious consequence , and an confessedly whole spoof of Bond melodic theme songs courtesy of Weird Al Yankovich . Hogan ’s persona is limited to a abbreviated cameo , but as is often the face , this proves to be a asset for the talented comedic performer .
3 Ninjas: High Noon At Mega Mountain
The3 Ninjasmoviesprovided satisfying thrills for ninety kids and have bring in the nostalgic reputation they savor , but this third outing is the weak of the bunch thanks to the absence of the original movie ’s stars . Hogan puts in a fine autopilot execution , but he ’s outmatch by both Ernest himself Jim Varney and Loni Anderson ’s campy turn as the villainess who launched a thousand puberty .
Gnomeo and Juliet
Released in 2011,Gnomeo and Julietis a outlandish 3D exalt drollery star two pieces of lawn piece of furniture who are secretly sentient and re - enact the classic Shakespeare love story of the claim . It ’s also a melodious circle to the tunes of Elton John that feature a well-chosen termination rewrite by a statue of Shakespeare and a minor role for the Hulkster . As this summation implies , it ’s hard to dislike such an ambitiously zany project .

Muppets From Space
One of the lesser 90sMuppetsmovies , Muppets From Spacemay struggle to match the top typeset byMuppet Treasure IslandandMuppet Christmas Carol , but this 1999 family funniness is still a solid , charming elbow grease from the Henson shop . Hogan is dear in his small role and the surrounding movie is a better - than - common bit of anarchical comedy for all ages .
Rocky III
A self-colored accounting entry into the fisticuffs drama enfranchisement , Rocky IIImay not scale the legendary meridian of the original but the threequel did solidify Rocky ’s friendly relationship with Apollo and propose a fabled resister in the variant of Mr. T , not to remark feature the iconic " Eye of the Tiger " on its soundtrack . The Hulkster puts in a cameo fundamentally playing himself as Thunderlips , a grapple champion who Rocky faces down in a brotherly love bust .
Gremlins 2: The New Batch
The lonely licit chef-d’oeuvre in the Hulkster ’s filmography , Joe Dante’sGremlinssequelis a originative piece of meta - clowning , an ingenious sarcasm of embodied America and creatively bankrupt movies , and a damn fun monster movie to the boot . Hulk Hoganplays himself as an tempestuous theatre patron whose regard ofGremlins 2has been disrupted by the gremlins themselves in a meta - joke that remains as fresh and funny as it was 30 geezerhood ago .
