MartinHafer If ever there was a family holiday film that could kill the holiday spirit, this film is it. It makes "Jingle All the Way" and even "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" seem GOOD in comparison! And, if you ever meet anyone who hates Christmas, chances are that they saw this film! This movie is a cloying, annoying dud...the sort of contrived mess of a film that makes you want to tell Hollywood to STOP making holiday movies if this is the sort of crap they think the public could want! The film begins with Hulk Hogan playing some sort of combination rich guy, superhero, GI Joe wannabe and ninja. I am glad that his impressions of himself and his abilities are not in any way over-ambitious or egocentric! In a stupid freak accident, the Hulkster now thinks he's Santa and comes to the aid...I kid you not...of a home for orphans!! Folks, it just doesn't get any worse than this--or does it?! Well, in fact it does. You see, the evil man behind this is, naturally, Ed Begley, Jr. and I assume he wanted this property to build an electric car dealership. But, in a bizarre twist, it's to get a whole bunch of neon-like power crystals hidden in an underground vault! Say what?!?!? Begley's crew of evil villains look like the sort of baddies that might attack Barney the dinosaur. They are all really, really lame and are about as threatening as a mild case of dandruff. And, it's up to Hulk to kick some butt (wow, not a tough thing in this case), win the hearts of a whole bunch of cute moppets AND manage to make a family-friendly movie that involves lots of punching, kicking and other forms of violence! The film has absolutely nothing going for it other than Hogan's massive ego. The acting is crap, the script is crap, the action is crap and there is nothing...I repeat, NOTHING of any value to this steaming pile of....movie. What makes it worse is the 'surprise' twist concerning the villain and Hulk's childhood--which, oddly, neither seemed to remember! Sadly, anyone seeing this turkey of a film will not have the same thing occur--they'll never forget having wasted nearly an hour and a half on this snot-fest. This film easily deserves to be on IMDb's Bottom 100 list, as it's the worst vanity project I've seen in ages--and a family film which is too violent and stupid for kids and just about impossible for any adult to sit through without massive amounts of liquor.My favorite part of the film? Towards the end, one of the lame villains yells "It's gonna blow!!". He couldn't have been more right, though he probably should have said this at the beginning in order to warn people what they were in for seeing! I think I'd have rather seen "Chitty, Chitty Bang, Bang", "The Adventures of Pippi Longstocking" or even "Son of the Mask" instead of this movie--it was that bad!By the way, there is a worse Christmas film. The 1959 Mexican film "Santa Claus" is in the Bottom 100 as well and it is light-years worse! But, for a big-budget Hollywood Christmas story, "Santa With Muscles" takes the prize!

johnnyboygoss I thought that this was actually one of HOGANS better movies. It seems like every time HOGAN comes out with a new movie, no matter what kind of movie it is, before people even watch the movie they are all ready to put it down without even giving it a chance. Most of HOGANS movies are not meant to win any awards as much as they are just meant to be good clean family comedy's.This is a movie that i try to watch at least once or twice during the Christmas season. With wrestling and making movies having a lot in common I think if HOGAN wanted to he could be a "better actor" if he wanted to, but I believe he goes into these movies just to have fun and make some kids happy.

funkydanieluk Hulk Hogan and movies. We can only hope the two will never be united again as they were in this travesty of cinema. Truly the essence of wrestlecrap was distilled to make this movie. I mean a robotic santa? Whose idea was that? Why was this movie made? Did anyone even go to see it? And what the heck are exploding crystals supposed to be? A kid says she had heard of them before from a book. I think she had confused science fiction with geology there! Was Hulk hogan ever in a none-dreadful movie role? Answers on a post card please. Kill this movie! Burn it! Destroy it! Let no copies live! I am reliably informed that if they ever make a sequel to this film it is the last of the signals that Armageddon has started. And if it isn't it ought to be! Please note that though I labeled my review as containing a spoiler, nothing could spoil a movie this bad, so don't let it worry you.

cyberfreek1984 It's a simply awful movie, I caught on TV recently and I felt compelled to switch the channel after watching 20 minutes of it, Hogan is a terrible actor and whoever wrote this film should be expelled from their union or whatever they have... The Storyline of the movie is incomprehensible and is hard to follow by anyone that is older than 12...My sister didn't seem to mind it though... A terrible movie, I have seen all of Hogan's films and he has not been able to come up with a decent effort in any of his movies, If you Hogan as a main actor in a movie, just stay away from it and you'll be better for doing so. I couldn't believe my eyes and ears on how bad this is.
