When professional wrestler's trade in the spandex so that they may strut and fret, the results are almost always dreadful...until such a time that we see
Hulk Hogan star with
Meryl Streep in a remake of
Macbeth, let's take a look at few movies that feature some of the bad boys of the squared circle Oh and before anyone tells me how good an actor
Dwayne Johnson is, I have two words for you, "
Southland Tales".
While his name is not even on the poster, Tor Johnson turned in one of his greatest performances as Inspector Clay in Edward D. Wood's classic, Plan 9 From Outer Space.
Roddy Piper pretty much ruled in John Carpenter's sci-fi satire of Reagan's America in They Live - while not a great actor, I can't imagine anyone else in the lead of this film.
Tyler Mane appeared in this little seen movie of no great consequence.
Caught this one late at night on cable ... fell asleep before it ended, I am sure it was magnificent.
Coming soon: Now if Kurt Angle just walks around nekid in this movie, then I am so there! Of course with his co-stars, Mr. Nash and Mr. Vicious...well, I smell an Oscar!
