Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt one point, Lou Ferrigno walked into Menahem Golan's office after reading the original script, which was filled with more violence and gratuitous sex, told him that the script was a "piece of shit," and threw into the garbage. Ferrigno wanted a more family-oriented fantasy film, which was finally released against Golan's wishes.
- GoofsWhen Hercules throws the rock tied to the rope out into space, you can see a wire hooked to the rock as it pulls it out into space.
- Quotes
King Minos: Could I just see it grow a little bit? It would mean a great deal to me.
- ConnectionsEdited into Blood on Méliès' Moon (2016)
Featured review
Bad in ways you cannot possibly imagine...
This movie is bad...but not so bad that you don't enjoy it. In fact, your eyes are glued to the screen in anticipation of what bizarre twist they are going to perform next on Greek/Roman mythology. Robot hydra and robot centaurs that shoot lasers are simply too amazing to be missed. The writer of this film must've been autistic and simply wrote the first thing that came into his head. It is DELIGHTFUL! Certainly, if you cannot sit through a bad movie, you should avoid this one; however, as bad movies go, this is an epic...a mighty effort of special effects, bad writing, poor dialog and what looks like a single costume shared by every female member of the cast. No woman in this movie wears anything substantial below the belt...even Dedalus, who for reasons unknown, is a woman in this film.
If your children see this movie, please remember to tell them that the movie has absolutely NOTHING to do with the actual myth of Hercules, Minos, Circe or even Ursa Major (the great bear).
