STORYLINE: The haughty self-made millionaire Blake Thorn (Hulk Hogan) sells bodybuilding gear and supplements bearing his image. He is singled out by the police one day while playing paintball carelessly. After being pursued to a mall, he disguises himself by dressing as Santa. He suffers from amnesia after he bangs his head after sliding down a garbage chute to elude the police. Blake starts to believe he is Santa Claus after Lenny (Don Stark) misidentifies him as the mall Santa. Ebner Frost (Ed Begley Jr.), an evil scientist, sends his goons to destroy an orphanage after attempting to take control of it in order to obtain the magical crystals beneath it. Blake saves the children, though, after realizing that being Santa has improved him and that Frost intends to demolish the same orphanage where he was raised. The overabundance of crystals destroys the orphanage, but Frost and his goons are taken into custody. Blake helped create and manage the new orphanage, which is now located in Frost’s compound. Since then, a large number of orphans have joined. Through a telescope, they all observe Frost and his goons (IMDb) 

   I grew up in the 90’s.  That makes me a child of the 90’s.  Yes Santa with Muscles is filled with glorious 90’s cheese, with everything from dated visual effects to classic  cheesy dialogue. After all the film was released smack in the middle of the decade, 1996.  January of that year I turned ten. For those who are not good at math in a few short weeks I will be twenty five.  Everyone else keep it to your self that I am just shy of middle aged.

    Santa with Muscles, the Hulk Hogan vehicle, is a corny and fun as it sounds.  (The trailer is on YouTube and I fully encourage you to look it up.  For those in my social circle reading this feel free to borrow my vkybray).  

    Like when I wrote about Santa’s Slay rwo weeks ago this one is best watched In the company of friends. You laugh together, you enjoy it together, and, most importantly, it is a film that creates a good time for y’all. 

    There’s not a lot to Santa with Muscles except to sit back and enjoy the ride.

    Until next time I will see you at the movies!
