Hulk Hogan's "Thunder In Paradise"

I almost forgot about this ... If you did ever see the pilot film that lead to the TV series "Thunder In Paradise", which was out in the early 1990s, you would know why I almost forgot.

My green Comet was in that movie. Please don't hurt yourself rushing to track this down ... it isn't worth the suffering of sitting through it... genuine pain ... I wasn't even driving it, my girlfriend at the time was.

I played a cop in that film and they also had me lined up to double Chris Lemmon (Jack Lemmon's son) who co-starred with Hulk. Chris was a real trooper and did most all of his scenes, so I wasn't called to do much there.

The scary thing ... there was a Hulk Hogan double that, from 30 feet away, was very tough to tell from the real Hulk. It did not look like he had a lot of makeup on to replicate Hulk, he just naturally was the same monsterous size, and his facial features were very similar.

My eyes bugged out the first time I saw both of them next to each other.

 

IMAGINE ALL THESE YEARS AND I THOUGHT HULK ROGAN WAS RUN OVER BY A MAVERICK, OH WELL I GUESS I WAS WRONG. TAKIT-EEEZZZ
