IIRC he did this for a paycheck.... he had basically been a steady mid carder in WCW, but nothing special... he then got a part in this movie and him and Hogan became friends and was Hogan that introduced him to Vinnie Mac, where he debut as Kane the Undertaker a couple of weeks before the 1990 survivor series in house shows, with the 1990 Survivor series his full debut with WWF.
This movie was filmed in 1990 when Hogan handed over the title to Warrior at WM6 and was kayfabe badly beaten up by Earthquake and was out for several months (reality he was filming this... pretty much the same how he was written out of the Championship picture in 1988 to film No Holds Barred) and by the time this came out in October 1991, Undertaker was just entering the main event scene (throughout most of 1991 he had been used very sparingly)
