At least I sort of understood this Hercules movie's direction. He has been asked to help, and, doggone it, he does. There is a revolution going on and once again there's an evil queen. This time she's dealing with an impending catastrophe caused by the aligning of planets or some such thing. They say "Uranus" an awful lot. It's hard not to giggle. This one has an amnesiac named Androcles (isn't he the guy that pulled the thorn from the lion's paw). Then there's Hylas. He's Herc's son in this one. In mythology, he's the great muscle man's teenage lover (those Greeks in those days; you gotta love 'em). One thing you can count on. They throw names of characters around and they have nothing to do with any previous myth. This does have a few intriguing twists and turns, including the alliances against the evil queen. Every time she has a chance to be nice, she just can't do it. Some guy crawls about twenty miles to report the results of a battle. When she hears what he went through, she has him executed for his incompetence in battle. The queen is really quite nice looking and has a liquid she tries on Herc, but in one of the great scenes, he spits it in the air like an overinflated orca. There's also a group of men who have lived lives of deformity who are given hope by the great hero. Of course, they all end up dead, but at least they no longer had bumps on their noses and people didn't throw dead chickens at them (you have to see it; I can't explain). Until I bought this collection, it had been about 30 years since I saw one of these films. There's not much to recommend them.
