10 Worst Movies Starring Wrestlers (That You Probably Haven't Seen)
8. Jesse Ventura - Abraxas: Guardian Of The Universe (1990)
Oh, Jesse Ventura. What a fascinating nutcake he is. He started out as a great wrestler, demonstrated that he was incredibly intelligent as a commentator, somehow went on to become a real-life governor of a real-life state, and is now a conspiraloon basketcase who is convinced that he will be President.
Somehow amongst all the other endeavours he has squeezed into his life, he also found time to be a film actor, and for a wrestler, he wasn't too bad. Well, except for when he was starring in this…thing.
The plot of Abraxas is too absurd to go into any real detail, and to be quite honest the film is so bad it doesn't deserve a detailed explanation anyway. Essentially, Ventura is an alien cop who coincidentally is from a race of aliens that look like humans. His partner has mind sex with a woman on earth to make a powerful God baby, and inevitable shenanigans ensue. Yes, that really is the narrative.
Aside from the crazy plot, the movie looks like it was filmed by high school students with video cameras they found at a charity shop. It doesn’t even really fall into the ‘so bad it’s good’ category – it’s just bad.
