Good ol\' Terry Hogan becomes Santa the Vigilante and fights a group of scientists who want to demolish an orphanage and then proceeds to do all the demolishing for them. Good job, Santa!

Santa with Muscles is bottom 100 material yet it\'s surprisingly fun. However, I can\'t really tell you why. At no point is anything so bad that its good. The action is all kind of meh, the set pieces are all underdeveloped, the villains never really enter the realm of over-the-top hammy. It\'s ALL super stupid but there\'s just something kind of nice about the whole viewing experience. It\'s just a weird little piece of garbage that\'s a "do" but can\'t really be explained.

The one thing we can say about it that doesn\'t fail is that\'s actually a Christmas movie. Most of them that we deal with end up having no Christmas message and just take place during Christmas for the sake of selling DVDs. Santa with Muscles is CHOCK full of Christmas. Arguably it\'s the most full of Christmas of any movie we\'ve reviewed.

Perhaps that\'s why it works. You can\'t really define what the true meaning of Christmas is but you know it when you see it. Much is the same here and so when you see it, you know you kind of liked it but can\'t really say why.
