| Santa with Muscles | comment |
Santa with Muscles is a 1996 comedy about a wealthy, greedy health food guru named Blake (played by Hulk Hogan) who winds up on the run from the cops when a paintball session goes wildly awry. Disguising himself as a Mall Santa, a blow to the head leaves him with amnesia — and thanks to an "elf" named Lenny who can use some, and perhaps his, money, he is subsequently convinced that he's the real Santa. From there, Blake decides to save an orphanage from supervillain Ebner Frost and his strange henchmen, who want the land the building is on for an unusual reason.Executive produced by Jordan Belfort (The real one, not Leonardo DiCaprio). No, seriously. | |

"Die Hard" on an X | |
| Santa with Muscles / int_353f2b06 | comment |
"Die Hard" on an X: The last half hour is effectively Die Hard in an orphanage. Not to mention that it involves breaking into a vault (which housed the piezoelectric crystals) near Christmas. | |

Rule of Cool | |
| Santa with Muscles / int_36e63b81 | comment |
Rule of Cool: The only reason why a local policeman would have and use a rocket launcher in the middle of a car chase. Though it can be justified as Blake and his servants were viewed as terrorists early in the film from their mock attacks on the police. | |

Police Are Useless: Boy howdy. They exist ONLY to harass Blake after his incidents with them. They mysteriously disappear when others commit crimes, like the mall robbery and all of Frost's machinations. | |

Plot Hole | |
| Santa with Muscles / int_6331ba26 | comment |
Plot Hole: Throughout the movie Blake inexplicably knows a bunch of things about the orphanage (such as the code to the vault door). Eventually it's revealed that he in fact grew up in the orphanage. The problem? This fact is revealed to him after he gets his memory back, meaning there's no reason he shouldn't remember having grown up in it | |

| Santa with Muscles / int_a0ef8636 | comment |
Recorded Spliced Conversation: When Blake is brought back to his mansion after being cured of his amnesia, he tries to call the orphanage, and is shocked to hear Leslie telling him to just disappear forever. Except it isn't Leslie, but rather Frost and his goons hacking the telephone lines and using a recording of things Leslie was saying to Dr. Blight a few days earlier. | |

Stupid Crooks: One early scene involves two shoplifters who try to steal money from a charity drive by smuggling it under one's shirt. Normally, this wouldn't be such a bad idea... but they don't take the money out of its huge glass container first. | |

Made of Explodium | |
| Santa with Muscles / int_e2d7b14c | comment |
Made of Explodium: The crystals in the caverns below the orphanage — although they apparently switch to being made of implodium at the end of the film, whereby they seem to form some sort of vortex that sucks the orphanage into it. It also needs to be pointed out that while we're told that the crystals are horribly unstable and will blow up at the slightest touch, at the climax Black and Ebner have a Sword Fight with them, smashing the highly explosive crystals together for several minutes with absolutely no effect at all. | |
