I can't believe I've never watched Thunder in Paradise before STING MONTH. As many have noted it is a Knight Boat meets Baywatch but more ridiculous than Baywatch or a quick Simpsons gag could ever be. The special effects are out of this world, Thunder is the coolest vehicle in TV history, Hogan's backstory is tremendous and you'd never guess it was filmed at Disney World.

Co-starring the son of Jack Lemmon! Whoever he is!

Thunder in Paradise is great. You should really keep an eye out for the number of different roles Ed Leslie appears in. It's at least four, including an evil pirate.Red posted:Co-starring the son of Jack Lemmon! Whoever he is!

I really need to pop in and watch that. I genuinely had no idea it was a full series, not just a really bad TV movie. That means I'm slipping.

They would package episodes together and sell them as movies. It's gloriously terrible though. However, how different would things have been for Hogan and WCW if Thunder In Paradise was a success?

Thunder in Paradise's awfulness is a thing of legend. Having a family call over a satellite phone during a pitched firefight(where no one can hit the broad side of barn), yeah it has that. Its something else.

My favourite thing tangentially related to Thunder In Paradise has to be that interview Hogan did where he was hyping the show to polite apathy. Then, he talks about how an upcoming episode will have STING! The interviewer comes to life for a brief moment, but then Hogan makes it clear he's not talking about musician Sting... aaaand it's back to being disinterested.

DrVenkman posted:I think in the UK it was shown as movies. They would package episodes together and sell them as movies. Also, random, Jack Lemmon was actually fairly hot at the time of Thunder in Paradise due to the Grumpy Old Men films (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePRYhNNdzwk). They clearly wanted to cast someone with name value as Hogan's sidekick, and ended up with someone lower in show biz than Frank Stallone or Don Swayze.

For a moment there I thought you meant Jack Lemon was that low, then I went back a couple of posts and realized it was his son, what a relief. Nobody can ever diss Jack Lemon.

Nitro 102 on the Network is amazing. It's the episode after Superbrawl 6 and has probably one of the best Flair promos where he comes out on a hospital bed covered in a sheet, brought out by Woman and Miss Elizabeth who implies that the 3 of them boned down all night. Then Flair leaps up and cuts an amazing promo. It's also the one where they realise they shouldn't let Elizabeth speak. She literally forgets her promo and just stands there and smiles as she tries to think of the next line. Also features the wrestling debut of LOCH NESS, who UK'ers will know better as Giant Haystacks.

Flair during the period when he had both Woman and Elizabeth as valets was fantastic. During Savage matches he would come out to ringside and have gourmet dinner at a banquet table. I'm having a hell of a time finding pics or video though.

Dario the Wop posted:Yeah, sorry, that post was horribly-written. I blame the sudden wave of millennial nostalgia. Like a boss. Things like that make me angry about today's product, because today's WWE doesn't know that the most basic premise of any feud is one guy getting into the other guy's head, while they're both pissed off - there doesn't have to be a championship title involved at all.

Luigi Thirty posted:Jeff Farmer is on the back of the new Sting DVD It'd be a big mistake if Van Hammer was on the back, but nWo Sting? That's kind of neat. I wouldn't be furious if my Razor Ramon blu-ray had Rick Bogner on the back doing the schtick. I'm assuming they went through a ton of professional photos as opposed to screenshots for the packaging, and that was something they found. That it's in black and white suggests they didn't have more viable alternatives.

Tony and the rest of the WCW announcers are vindicated for always falling for fake Stings.

It's entirely possible they did it as a rib. Also maybe they just wanted to send Jeff Farmer a royalty check?

If the DVD contains a segment on fake Stings or the nWo storyline having that image on the back makes sense.

On the subject of WCW stupidity, wasn't there a released wrestler who got paid for around six months afterwards because nobody bothered to tell the front office that he had been fired?
