Sean Armstrong is a retired wrestler who still has nightmares after his most recent defeat. He takes a job as a bodyguard for his former manager Burt Wilson. Alex Mason, Sr. has a novel silicon - chip designed store on the data of the project "Peace Finder". Thanatos, also a former wrestler, seeks this chip. Thanatos had a feud with Sean during his playing days, as he had not lost an agreed fight. In the course of this argument, Burt sustained a gunshot wound that caused him to hobble and Thanatos had a metal plate on his skull after jumping from a tall building. Frank, Alex Mason's secretary, is a Thanatos mole.
Sean is not supposed to guard Alex Mason Sr. or the Chip, but the two children, 14-year-old Alex Jr. and 8-year-old Katie. This turns out to be a difficult task. The spoiled but neglected brats have so far put all nannies to flight and also play their rough and dangerous pranks on Sean. He can only slowly gain her trust and becomes her surrogate father. He helps them with school matters and mediates between them and their father. After a fake break-in, Alex Mason, Sr. has to travel to Washington to demonstrate his missile defense system . But he is kidnapped by Thanatos.
Meanwhile, Burt and Sean are guarding the children. When Sean takes ballet lessons from Katie , Thanato's minions storm the mansion and fight him and Burt. They manage to take the children with them. This allows them to blackmail the father and claim the chip. Sean is supposed to hand him over, but he manages to overpower Thanatos' men and free Alex Sr. and the children. The newly reunited family and Sean face the final battle against Thanatos together.
background
Hulk Hogan made sure that various wrestling colleagues could play in various supporting roles. For example, Edward Leslie , George Steele , Jim Neidhart , Kamala and Afa Anoa'i can be seen as wrestlers.
One scene had to be removed because of the British BBFC , as there was a risk of imitation. In this scene, Sean Armstrong is electrified in the shower by the children. The German VHS version is based on this cut version.
The soundtrack was composed by former New York Dolls musicians David Johansen and Brian Koonin . The thrash metal band Rigor Mortis can also be heard .
Reviews
James Berardinelli called Mr. Babysitter one of the "most excruciating" films of the year on ReelViews , compared to the Stop! Or my mommy shoots! look good. The script imposed too many "semi-dramatic" scenes on Hogan that he was not up to. Berardinelli advised at the end of his review to avoid the film in any case, because it is not entertainment, but "an exercise in masochism".
Jane Horwitz described the film in the Washington Post on October 13, 1993 as a "stupid" variant of the comedy Kindergarten Cop .
"The comic aiming film spoils the intended good-mood effect with its raw battle scenery and the rough cut of supposed jokes."
"Mr. In any case, Nanny is comedy slurry of the lowest kind - vile rumen humor that only boils up motifs from better, more entertaining films without understanding them, and about which only people can laugh who think it's funny to kick small dogs and blow up frogs and about the 3756th 'the golden child hits papa with the baseball bat in the soft tissues' video at 'Upps'.
