I love how all those exotic locations were all filmed in Disney World.

Of course Jimmy Hart and Brutus Beefcake show up. They are attached to Hogan like lampreys. And I'm pretty sure that was Giant Gonzalez who manhandled the Hulkster.

That wasn't Ron Jeremy, it was Jimmy "The Mouth of the South" Hart. He was a big wrestling "manager"/hype-man.

The pink hotel in the beginning is right down the street from me.. wish the beaches actually had people that looked like that on em...

I grew up watching Patrick Macnee in The Avengers (BBC 1961, not the corny remakes)...he is a British legend. How the mighty fall.

Lol... 12:43 the constant yelling...no dialogue at all 😂😂

Patrick Macnee of The Avengers! He must have needed a paycheck!

Used to love this show as a kid

Hulk Hogan, Budweiser, food smothered in cheese, NFL, Adam Sandler.... things only americans like.

Like the New Generation Project Podcast said when they did two episodes on it, initial ratings for Thunder in Paradise were actually pretty good, and shortly after it began airing on TV in March 1994, it was rumoured that the show was up for renewal, and the good folks at Berk/Schwartz/Bonann Productions were looking at filming 30 more episodes in 1995. Surprisingly, despite rumours of a second season or a series of TV movies, Thunder in Paradise only lasted one season of 22 episodes, before being cancelled in November 1994. At the time it was circling the drain, Hogan apparently began floating the idea of either re-branding the show, or launching a new show starring himself, fellow WWE Hall of Famers Sting and Mr. T, and a female martial artist (possibly Cynthia Rothrock) as the main cast. Perhaps Thunder in Paradise's biggest contribution to pro wrestling was entirely through its filming location, Disney's Hollywood Studios, where WCW was then taping episodes of its shows Saturday Night and WorldWide. During production, Ric Flair and Eric Bischoff met with Hogan and successfully convinced him to sign with WCW in 1994. And that helped start the domino effect which created both the New World Order and the Attitude Era. Anyways, I remember watching Thunder in Paradise on ITV in the UK around early to mid 1995 while waiting for Gladiators to come on. One more thing of note, there was never really much in the way of actual threat or peril during any of Spencer and Bru's adventures. For example, oh, it's Tuesday: Jessica's been kidnapped and we've got to save her; that's cool, as long as we get it wrapped up before the end of Wednesday, because Thursday, Kelly's being kidnapped and will need rescuing. And then Friday, a face from our past will show up to settle the score with us, but it will all be wrapped up in 45 minutes, and the final shot will be of us drinking at the Scuttlebutt, laughing, or both. That's it, that's the formula of Thunder in Paradise.

I remember this playing on TNT in the afternoons in the mid 90s.

This show gave us what is legit one of the greatest FMV games ever. It's a genuinely fun game on the CD-i (there was also a PC version that's nearly impossible to find). The game has so many FMV reactions from Hogan and his partner that there's actually a decent amount of replay value for a FMV game. There's also multiple endings and a few branching paths. As a bonus, you play as JT from the show step by step. I'm not kidding. Oh and there's a 2nd disc with a CD-i exclusive episode.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMYYY GOOD .. that's the one , that's the one with the BOAT !!! i could not find this show , i knew it was "thunder somthing"

That thumbnail is the monster under my bed

"Eye of Sauron" made me laugh so much!

3:22 Mrs. Garrett!

Supposedly he got the....redeye.....from a jet sking accident with his longtime leach.....i mean best friend Brutis "The Barber" Beefcake, but then there is also a rumor that "Mocho Man" Randy Savage punched him out because his wife (they were going through a divorce) was staying with Hogan and his wife...I know WAY too much about shit like this.

Because who doesn't just love to laugh at the old Hulkster?

That thumbnail is one for the ages. It's hogans all the way down.

An Epic Thumbnail. Masterpiece.

Absolutely loved anything with hogan in it as a kid and this included! Wanted the boat so bad!! 😂

Generic Old White Guy is played by Patrick Macnee, who played John Steed in The Avengers TV series. What a comedown, from The Avengers to Thunder in Paradise, although he did get to spend time with sexy young women in bikinis, just reliving his youth.

Im from Germany and have a racing scooter ( Aprilia SR ) complete in Thunder Design like the boat . Always gets a thumb up .. and it has a complete tactical room in the helmet storage

Red eye thanks! I forgot about this show and you are a laugh riot! What a treat!

Thats not Ron Jeremy, thats the mouth of the South, Jimmy Hart

Of the “Super Vehicles” trope, I felt this one strangely made sense. I mean a super powered stealth boat probably would actually catch a lot of drug traffickers and gangs?

*This episode gives a new meaning to “Red-Eye Reviews”.*

I loved this show when I was a kid

I have a friend who works in a hospital in Tampa, FL. Hulk Hogan came in one time to visit a relative who was in care there. They said he became intolerable, leaping over chairs, raging and putting on his WWF act when people realized who he was.

Loved this show as a kid

That's not Ron Jeremy, That's the goddamn Mouth of the mother fucking South Jimmy Hart.

My dude ! I just wanted to tell you that you GOT ME THRU COVID and a lot of life! I love what you are doing you make me laugh and make me think about ALL people and the ways we interact , so thanks and STAY HAPPY AND STAY HEALTHY ( i hear you ) …peace

i love this as a kid :)

Awesome thumb nail art😂🍻

There was a channel called the USA Network and they’d play stuff like this all day during weekdays.

The cover of this video gave me nightmares. How many Hogans can come from one moustache.😱😫

I use to have one of those radios, had completely forgotten about it

Hulkster meets baywatch

I totally forgot this tv series thanks man to review this hulk hogan series 🎉👍😁

Thanks Redeye!

The bad guy reading the newspaper is Sam Jones, aka Flash Gordon.

Its not ron Jeremy. it's Jimmy mouth of the south Hart

Hey man,loving your work as usual.... 😂

That lady was MRS GARRET!!!!! Facts of life!

IT'S A LITERAL "REDEYE" REVIEW!! Too good to pass up the pun

Don't forget, this was just the pilot episode 😂😂😂 I hope you review the following episodes 😂😅

Keep ‘em coming!

God i loved that show as a kid 🥹

I had that radio!! 🤣🤣

Mrs. Garrett?!? lol

God I miss the 90s

Thunderlips in paradise!

Hulk Hogans red eye, gets the redeye treatment lol

When i was younger i use to think baywatch thunder in paridase and baywatch nights were all one show, only cuz they were showing them back to back lol

Hulk Hogan, Thunder in Paradise; putting the ‘Red Eye’ in ‘RedEye Reviews’…. Thanks folks, I’ll be here all week!

Holy shit, i haven't thought about this show in so long i forgot it was a thing.

I remember this show i watched when i was a kid

As a kid, i watch it for the boat...as an adult..hm.;well you get it

Pretty sure Jimmy Hart wrote the music for this show. His songs always had an enjoyable level of corniness to them. Met him several times, really nice guy.

It's depressing to see Patrick Macnee of The Avengers, A View to a Kill, Oasis's Don't Look Back in Anger video and so many quality TV guest appearances slumming for the Hulkster. "We all know what sort of filth this man is into" Emma Peel is my kind of fith. "There's no way you can get legally married in the next 24 hours to someone with an offer like 'you'll get half the hotel' so clearly you must lose all the hotel"! Hulk's parasailing outfit is NOT my kind of filth. Hulk spent decades of his life running around in yellow or white undies and he never looked this naked. "After they turned down my idea for Thunder, I left the navy and built the boat myself." "Lt. Spencer, I received your child's drawing. It's very amusing. Oh, that's yours? I see. You would like the Navy to build you a custom super boat? With computers and sensors and guns? Like the new Cyclone-class patrol ship...oh, on an 'awesome' speedboat not designed for battle? And you wish to use this to fight street crime? Lieutenant, do you know what a Navy Seal does? Did you have a head injury on your last mission? No...have you considered retirement? The Navy would be happy to see you fighting crime somewhere else. And hey, maybe bring along Brubaker. We would be happy to see him somewhere else as well." Also slumming, Sam Jones of Flash Gordon. Before I got sick, I was working on a podcast and one of our topics was his short lived show "The Highwayman". He had a supertruck. Heck Charlotte Rae is slumming, it's a big Terry Bollea Slum in Paradise. Even poor giant Jorge Gonzales is slumming...well maybe. Jorge Gonzales was one of the worst wrestlers ever, though apparently a nice guy. He was recruited by the Atlanta Hawks to play basketball, but when it was clear he had no agility Ted Turner, who had to pay him anyway, sent him over to his wrestling company to become El Gigante. Having no agility, almost no wrestling training, and no acting talent he was pretty useless but they thought he was so big it had to work. WCW was giving up on him, buy classy Vince McMahon saw $, so he brought him into the WWF and put him in an outfit which make's Hogan's Little Hulkster wrap look good. The Undertaker "Giant Gonzalez" match at Wrestlemania has gone down in history, and not in a good way.

Hulkster just can't get away from the eye rakes now, can he?

Budgies are so cute. 🥰

Wow, Lord Iblis is in this TV show too

Please do more of this show! Wtf lol

I still have my Nickelodeon time blast my son uses it as his alarm clock.

Good sir! Keep your hands out of my halloween bag!!!

This was a welcome change from the horror that is Steven Seagal. It's 1am here in Asia and am being lulled to sleep by your smooth sultry voice. 😂 Love your videos and I'm looking forward to part two.

For whatever reason man, that thumbnail is straight nightmare fuel.

Definitely looking more forward to you covering this cheese than any of the lame Seagal shows.

I never watched the show, but I remember it 😂

If Baywatch had a red headed stepchild...

i loved Thunder In Paradise as a wean, it was pure action shlock.

Clearly when I was a teenager, there was only 1 to 3 reasons why I watched this show. And none of it was from the Hulkster and it was 90% the extras in bikinis 😅

Why? WHY? That's John Steed from the Avengers. He's even a good actor. What debt did he have that forced him to be in this?? Com'on!

That eye is randy savages handy work allegedly 😂

HAHAHA you are right...that was Ron Jeremy..the one eyed..... 🤣🤣. Danm I just revealed that I knew who he is 😂

Fun fact, Chris Lemmon lived in the town I grew up in. I rooted for his career. This ended it

Nice!

I'm getting 90s miami drug war flashbacks

Mrs Garret!!!!

That proposal was painful to watch. The girl wasn't even acting she just wanted to leave Hogan and his stache.

Why wouldn't you just marry her and take 1/2 the hotel, then maybe this would have worked as a sitcom....oh brother, do some of your editing magic and make an intro for a Thunder in Paradise sitcom!!!

Look how bored Ron Jeremy is - home run. Redeye 🙂

From the bowels of hell.... I forgot about this show, shamefully I used to watch it. 👀 Don't judge me lol

HELL YEAH

Charlotte Rae joined Alcoholics Anonymous in the early 1970s. The organization became an important part of her personal life according to Drunk Uncle Wikipedia.

Fun show

I never noticed a kid Dangerboat in one of the staring roles here.

Umm. That's Jimmy Hart not Ron Jeremy 😅

Only reason I bought this is one half of The Hart Fondation because my mma coach is nicknamed after Jim the Anvil we both miss El Jefe we all used nicknames or our favorite pro wrestler Scott Norton was mine

$93,000 in debt? That's chump change

Wait a min and I found out it's the boats name.. lol So this is why his name was Thunder in Rocky? Because I imagine he's the "thunder" in paradise here as opposed to thunder being an inconvenience during vacation or paradise. Or is the lady who owns the hotel named paradise? This is getting confusing.

This is the kinda show that you know for a fact was used to launder drug money through the production budget.

Turns out you don't know who Ron Jeremy is either because that was not him. that was the mouth of the South Jimmy Hart

Didn't they do a TV movie first?.

YYYEEEAAAHHHBBBOOOIII!!!

You missed out on referring Kinky Boots

Was this what they named tropic thunder after?

The thumbnail 😅😅😅😅

Redeye Is Fucking Funny You Have Cracking Up 🤣😂🫡
