Hulk Hogan and comic relief sidekick use a super-powered transforming powerboat (the CG was just about cool enough for them to use it on the opening titles) to fight crime at sea, Knight Rider style. It worked surprisingly well, really, possibly due to the catchy theme tune.

Thunder, in par-a-dise! |
 |
If you've seen Knight Boat on The Simpsons, you know the concept already.
Tropes used in Thunder in Paradise include:
- Bigger on the Inside: The 'Thunder' itself.
- Cool Boat: The 'Thunder'.
- Military Salute: In a flashback, the protagonists are shown sharing a goofy salute with their commanding officer.
- Pool Scene: Repeatedly.
- Spy Satellites: In one episode, one of the heroes looks for a spy satellite nearby to hack into from his Cool Boat, finds one, and acts as a Mission Control for his partner.
