No Holds Barred Ratings & Reviews
Medium Popcorn
Brandon Collins
I feel so much dumber having watched this.

Justin Brown
This should have killed Hogan's career right here.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
Hogan as The Ripper is a force of nature here, and he makes "No Holds Barred" in to a fun action cartoon.
People Magazine
Ralph Novak
Racist, misogynist, dumb, sadistic, lazy and tiresome, the film is about a big bout between a huge heroic white guy and a huge villainous black guy.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Wilmington
The movie never takes itself seriously and director Tom Wright (TV's "Beauty and the Beast") has fun with the wrestling montages. Hogan himself has an appealing screen presence -- like a gallant teddy bear who goes berserk every 10 minutes or so.
Philadelphia Daily News
Gary Thompson
The final showdown between Rip and Zeus is overlong and full of uninspired wrestling stunts. The camera crews of the World Wrestling Federation do a much better job.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Desmond Ryan
For months now, Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro have been sitting in their dens and nervously clutching their Oscars. They knew that an unprecedented challenge was looming... the arrival of Hulk Hogan in his first starring role in a movie.
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Roger Hurlburt
While wrestling fans surely will queue up to see their boy win the day, No Holds Barred is just a sweaty headlock of a film, with dreary, gory scenes and a bunch of slope-headed hokum to propel it.
TV Guide
Some may find the cartoonish violence excessive; the champion Tough Guy can't be anyone but a good guy, but that doesn't stop him from doling out to his enemies a very painful punishment.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
The film is utterly lacking in the campy quality of the World Wrestling Federation telecasts.

Barred is tremendously crude, unapologetically manipulative (Zeus finally breaks down Rip's reserve by crippling his kid brother), and aimed directly at easily entertained 13-year-old boys.

Try: No Holds Suck. Tiny Lister is awesome, but -- apart from The Scorpion King, The Princess Bride and The One and Only -- all movies involving 'wrestlers' are stupid.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
As cartoonish as its star.
Washington Post
Richard Harrington
Charmless, stupid and badly made, No Holds Barred makes Rocky look like Citizen Pain.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Chris Hicks
Hogan is obviously trying for the Arnold Schwarzenegger musclebound movie crown, but Schwarzenegger need have no fears. In fact, on the acting front, even Chuck Norris needn't feel challenged.
