Storyline
The ever intrepid world-trotting hunk of a man Herc (Hercules to those who are not his friends) saves a beautiful maiden from the hands of an evil creature. She takes him to her home, Atlantis. Herc kicks some butt and saves her from her mother who wants to kill her and from some scary looking blond guys but unfortunately the rest of the inhabitants are destroyed. Do not worry because Herc escapes along with his son, the maiden and an annoying midget. Written by Splinter <dasplint@nauticom.net>

The first time I saw this movie I was about 10. Then I liked it very much. It had everything I liked: ancient scenarios, a hero, a beautiful woman and an impossible adventure. When I saw the movie some years later I realised that after all it was not that big. The plot I liked so much 10 years ago seems quite childish now and the movie has that sort of lingering sensation which takes away most of the fun. Still I cannot say that I don't like it any longer - it reminds me of an age gone by and it is still capable of giving an hour and a half's time of fun, even though the viewer will not remember it for long. Watch out for some scenes taken from "Sodoma e Gomorra"!
