I'm writing this review based on the feelings and the point of view of a child; the child I once was when I loved this show. Saturday afternoons were dedicated to this show, I loved seeing the intro; listening to the music and seeing Hulk Hogan and his partner get on their cool boat and ride into the ocean, beating the bad guys up and coming home.Sure, there was a little bit of me that was also interested in seeing the beautiful women prancing around in their colourful bikinis...But all in all it was a great show that made a child Saturday afternoon more fun. Now, I'm a lot older...And looking back the intro is still cool and brings back memories of me jumping up and down excited that Hulk Hogan was coming....But, I've just seen a clip of the show...Bad acting and overall a plot that doesn't really work...But in the mind of the child in me...It's fantastic!

Thunder in paradise must be watched as an entertaining series. You certainly must not watch it as a serious one or you'll easily be disappointed. The characters are caricatures, the situations are simple, the background looks like heaven. More, you'll appreciate the presence of Carol Alt who has since disappeared from our TV screens... I appreciated that show, it changes from all the CSI series we have now. The boat is a marine version of Viper, but convertible vehicles had some success at that time. Thunder in paradise is not worse than the A-Team for example, and it has at least as much action. The design of Thunder is rather interesting and the special effects are OK.

i never missed an episode yes it was a bit corny but not back then ! i have been a wresting fan since i was 4 i love hulk hogan and never missed any of his movies or the Saturday morning cartoon when i was younger. when i herd he was coming out with a TV show i didn't care what people said. watching thunder took me to a place where i had no worries and i never miss my hottie sting i was and still am his #1 fan. so what the line were corning and a boat that could talk, what about a talking car every one thought that was cool!come on now the people who said the show wasn't cool, i bet they run home just like the rest of us , sat down with a cold drink and some popcorn and watched the show, you know who you are :) if it was still on yes i would watch it i would even tape it hey I'm even looking for all episode's on DVD i would love to watch hogan trying to escape from anther one of hammer heads (a.k.a sting)traps!as carrlito cool says "that was cool"

If Hulk Hogan hadn't been in this show, I would not have watched it. It was only the appearance of Hogan that attracted me to this show in the first place.I always loved shows about super vehicles. In the 80's we had Airwolf (a helicopter), Knight Rider (a talking car) and Street Hawk (a motorcycle). Thunder in Paradise was about a super boat far superior to any normal boat.I quite like Hogan's appearances in films but Thunder in Paradise was pretty unspectacular. There was one good episode where WCW wrestler Sting appeared but the rest of the series was pretty average.This show is only really suitable for Hulk Hogan fans who can't get enough of the man (like me).
