The Undertaker Unveils Ridiculously Small Royalty Checks He Still Gets for Role in ‘Suburban Commando’

The Undertaker is renowned in the pro wrestling world for his unmatched aura, and he still packs buildings for his 1 DEADMan shows. He also brought to the big screen, though he didn’t land many prominent roles. He still receives royalty checks from Suburban Commando.

Before gaining fame as The Undertaker, Mark Calaway played Hutch, a henchman who encounters Hulk Hogan’s character Shep in the 1991 family comedy. He continues to receive payments for that role, though they don’t cover any of The Deadman’s expenses.

Speaking on his Six Feet Under podcast, Undertaker mentioned still receiving royalty checks for the movie. While he still earns from it, the amounts don’t exceed $2. Despite the modest sums, fans fondly recall the role Taker played years ago.

“I did the world’s worst movie before I started with WWE. Suburban Commando, if you’re curious. I still get checks. Every once in a while, I get one that is a dollar 25. It’s been a while since I got one from Suburban Commando, but I still get them.”
