Hulk Hogan play paintball?

Looks like the Hulkster is wearing an early paintball mask "Woodstalker" maybe. In this promo with Ultimate Warrior

I seem to remember a "paintball" gun being used in one of his films. But this was when i was like 4 years old so i could be wrong

Dunno if he actually ever played for real

The movie Santa with Muscles from 1996:



Yes, he was actually (well, shown to be) firing a Golden Eagle- at pursuing cop cars no less- without a tank.

At least they put on the hopper the right way. They always put them on backwards in movies for some reason

You can watch the whole movie for free on youtube. The paintball gun comes on screen around 5 minutes and 13 seconds

I can see why Hollywood was afraid to put wrestlers in movies for so long. Hulk has been in some of the worst movies I've ever seen.

Only on MCB is there knowledge that an 80s wrestling star once used a paintball marker

This is the kind of content that MCB works tirelessly to procure and keep safe for the historical record

"Often"? I'm not sure I've ever once seen it depicted properly.

Have you seen Blackballed? It’s amazing I have it on DVD.

[DocsMachine]

Never did see Blackballed. I remember it was talked about a good deal, when it first came out, but I've never seen a copy for sale.

This is definitely why I come here

I really don’t think the Hulkster is smart enough to maintain and operate a paintball gun. He probably remembers a time when he beat the 1200lb Andre the Giant in capture the flag by choke slamming him so hard he bounced out of bounds I just don’t think it happened.

Hell yeah brother!

True facts, DocsMachine. About the closest I've ever seen to "proper" was this one Jason film from the 80s ( I believe you have it on your "paintball in the movies" section) and while it was mostly period-correct (only depiction I've seen where shop goggles as eye-pro even vaguely made sense), it still had inaccuracies. And that was a throw-away scene in a late-sequel slasher film.

I tell ya...paintball has been done dirty by Hollywood, and that is for certain and for sure.

Probably the greatest paintball movie / comedy.

[DocsMachine]

To be fair, nobody's really made a movie about paintball. Most of them are movies, like Friday the Thirteenth, that involve paintball, but aren't about it.

It's like expecting a realistic in-town chase scene in Fast & Furious or a realistic shootout in John Wick.

Or maybe more like expecting realistic police work in a Naked Gun movie.
