Bradley Brinkman (Steve Levitt) is a computer nerd who makes a deal with the Devil (James Coco) in this teen comedy. He is transformed into Hunk Golden (John Allen Nelson), the muscular blonde-haired, blue-eyed California heartthrob. She-devil O'Brien (Deborah Shelton) threatens to change the popular Hunk back into the anemic Bradley if he refuses to serve the Devil on Earth. Rebecca Bush plays psychologist Sunny Graves and co-stars with Robert Morse, Constantine Constapopolis, and Avery Schreiber. James Coco, who died a few weeks before the debut of this film, gives memorable comic portrayals of a pirate, a Nazi, and a caveman in addition to a delightful devil. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

With this disc, BCI has created a budget-line edition of Hunk that is worthwhile despite some minor but noticeable flaws. The letterboxed, anamorphically enhanced transfer is a pretty solid one that boasts strong colors and a nice level of detail. It suffers from a slight degree of pixellation in a few night scenes but these problems don't last long. The mono volume is a little low but this can be counteracted by boosting the volume a little higher (there's also one brief shot where the audio slips out of synch for a few seconds at the beginning). There are no real extras to speak of besides a gallery of trailers for other BCI comedy releases but the disc does boast some amusing animated menus that make good use of the film's campy rock score. All in all, this is a solid disc despite the minor transfer flaws for the low price and is worth the upgrade for fans of 1980's comedies. ~ Donald Guarisco, All Movie Guide
