No Holds Barred

No Holds Barred (1989) is a Hulk Hogan action vehicle you can watch online on iFILM. Wrestling hero Rip won't jump to a rival television network, so the network's boss sets out to break him.

Network chief Brell (Kurt Fuller) launches an underground brawling show and unleashes a hulking monster called Zeus (Tom Lister Jr.) to lure Rip in and crush him on live TV. Around the matches there's a kidnapped brother, a planted woman sent to spy on the champ who falls for him instead, and wall-to-wall late-'80s swagger. Real faces from the era turn up too: Jesse Ventura, Gene Okerlund, Stan Hansen.

Made at the peak of Hogan's WWF fame, the movie is exactly what it sounds like — loud, blunt, full of cardboard villains and a cage-match finish. It's no great film, just prime camp that wrestling and trash-cinema fans keep coming back to. Stream No Holds Barred (1989) online on iFILM.
