A little late, but RIP Shelley Duvall

I know this absolutely isn’t the movie you think of when you look back on her career, but this was most likely the first movie of hers that I ever saw. I was a huge wrestling fan as a kid. So this movie is kind of special to me and it’s nice that she will always be a part of this memory I have. Picked this up at a garage sale a few days before she passed.

Suburban Commando (1991)

While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...

From the setup, you expect Suburban Commando to be fairly straightforward. It probably won’t be good but by following its formula, it might entertain kids. Inexplicably, the film misses all of the easy opportunities given to it and doesn’t even manage to meet the meagre expectations placed upon it. At best, it has a couple of meme-worthy scenes. You won’t remember this movie down the line.

Intergalactic warrior Step Ramsey (Hulk Hogan) has finally defeated the villainous General Suitor (William Ball) but just barely. His superior suggests he take a vacation, which sees him become marooned on a backwater planet - Earth. Attempting to blend in with the locals until his ship repairs itself, he befriends Charlie Wilcox (Christopher Lloyd), an unappreciated architect working for Adrian Beltz (Larry Miller).

A warrior from a distant world finding himself out of his environment and befriending a local to kill time is not a new plot. The thing is, usually these types of stories have the outsider pair up with a kid. You can see why after this movie. Having a grown man mess with Ramsey’s high-tech gear and try to be a superhero just doesn’t feel right. When Ramsey gets in trouble because he misunderstands stuff we take for granted, you keep thinking Wilcox should have a tighter leash on him. It gets weirder because Wilcox has a son you think is going to be Hulk Hogan’s sidekick. It's like he was added as an afterthought, but the role has more to offer than Shelley Duvall's. She plays Mrs. Wilcox and has nothing to do.

The character arcs are clumsy and predictable. Charlie’s biggest obstacles are a pair of redneck neighbors who steal his parking spot (a subplot that never gets resolved), his underappreciative boss, and a stoplight. Okay then. Step Ramsey (whose name is distracting because it sounds so much like Chef Ramsey) might as well be a robot. Hogan is little more than a prop dragged around from one episodic gag to the next. Even if he could act, he isn’t given the opportunity to. At least his physical prowess is well used in the film’s best scenes, all of which include a mime whose luck has run out.

It all builds towards an ending that’s uninspired and generic but at least Suburban Commando is harmless. If you’re thinking this is going to be one of those “so bad it’s good” movies, you will get a couple of laughs from the scenes where it steals from Star Wars wholesale but those moments come and go quickly. After that, you’re stuck watching a movie that makes you wonder why anyone bothered. (On VHS, January 17, 2020)

Shoutout to one of the worst movies ever made. Fun fact - right after it came out, Mark was trying to see it and struggled to find a theatre showing it 😂

I found this on Pinterest and was like this is a really old pic of Calaway, and found out it's from that movie.

Adorable.

Breaking shocking sad news legendary actress Shelley Duvall dies at age 75, she was known for her role as Wendy Torrance in the iconic Stephen King famous horror classic The Shining released in 1980.

I'm very shocked know her and very well not by in person just by actress seen her in things mostly but is all I meant.

She was also in the in 1991 hilarious action comedy sci-fi classic Suburban Commando.

I remember watching the VHS rental of that back than when I was a kid my mom rent it for me also star's other than Shelley Duvall.

Hulk Hogan and Christopher Lloyd and although good times!!
