Santa With Muscles
(PG; 98 mins; $14.98)

Mill Creek Entertainment

Muscle-bound Blake Thomas (famed wrestler-turned actor Hulk Hogan) has made a vast fortune marketing health foods and supplements. He once was a nice fellow but as his wealth increased, he became increasingly self-centered and decadent. One day, he gets in a great paint-gun fight that goes too far. Blake escapes the cops by running into a shopping mall, quickly donning a Santa suit, and pretends to be St. Nick. A head injury causes Blake to suffer amnesia, and an opportunistic "elf" decides to convince Blake that he is indeed Santa. This leads "Santa" to help save an orphanage, filled with adorable moppets, from the machinations of a greedy, insane doctor.




Where To Purchase?





Once Upon A Time (a.k.a. the 1990s) — legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan attempted to become a Hollywood action-star by playing in several low-budget B-movies, including Santa With Muscles, which is now available to own on Blu-ray from Mill Creek Entertainment.

Directed by John Murlowski, the film was released to theatres in November 1996 for only two weeks. Thanks bad reviews from critics, who called it one of the worst movies ever made, the it was a complete flop.

Why would I be featuring one of the worst Christmas movies on my Holiday Gift Guide?

Well, that answer is pretty simple, I am one of the few people who actually likes Santa With Muscles. Sure, the plot is completely unbelievable, the dialogue is cheesy with bad jokes, and the majority of the acting is over the top but it's a harmless slapstick that's no different than any other B-comedy. Plus, the film costars Robin Curtis (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock) and a a young Mila Kunis.

The picture and sound qualities on the Blu-ray are really good. There are no special features or bonus extras. The Digital Code included with the Blu-ray can only be redeemed and streamed on movieSPREE.

Overall, Santa With Muscle is a fun, cheesy holiday comedy! The Blu-ray would make a great stocking stuffer.
