Trivia / Suburban Commando

• Box Office Bomb: Budget: $11 million. Box office (domestic only): $8,002,361.
• Creator Backlash: The Undertaker called this movie "awful" in a later interview, and said he mainly did it for a chance to work with the WWF.
• Fatal Method Acting: Special effects technician Michael Colvin was killed in an on-set accident after falling through a trap door while testing it.
• Looping Lines: For when General Suitor is transformed into his mutant form, Vincent Hammond portrayed the character on set, then Frank Welker looped his dialogue in post-production.
• Prop Recycling:
  • The P.K.E. meter from Ghostbusters is reused as a homing device.
  • Numerous prop guns from Masters of the Universe were reused, all but unchanged.
• What Could Have Been:
  • Apparently the movie was originally going to be titled Urban Commando, and it would've starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito as Shep and Charlie, but they choose to do Twins (1988) instead. Instead of the sci-fi elements, Shep would be a soldier who failed to stop some terrorists and is ordered to take a vacation by his superiors. He would be hosted by Charlie's family and struggle to adjust to normal life, but then have to save Charlie's family when the terrorists track him down.
  • Vince McMahon originally envisioned that, similar to No Holds Barred, a live event where Hogan wrestles The Undertaker as his character from this film could happen. This idea was quickly scrapped after Undertaker debuted in the WWF.
