Hercules Smash!!!............Again!!!
29 January 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Hercules returns once again after Golan Globus had a few extra quid knocking about and were still convinced that Ferrigno would soon rival Stallone and Schwarzenegger as the greatest eighties action hero.

So this time Hercules has to find the seven bolts of Lightning that belong to Zeus, before something a little untoward happens to the gods and save the world from a plethora of really bad special effects.

So the film begins as a bit of a catch up from the last movie, presumably serving purpose for those who couldn't be bothered to finish the first film.

And then after about ten minutes if this, it's back to Ferrigno and his dubbed voice, fighting with men dressed as carpets, and the bloke from the first one coming back from the dead to wreak more bad acting among the Greek gods.

It's rubbish for sure, an absolute stinker of a film, but Cannon have some guts to make a sequel to an absolute cesspit of a film, and not just that, to include half of the first films 'highlights' in the opening credits.

The writing is awful, with lines like 'get rid of yourself' inducing laughter rather than shock.

But when you see the Cannon name when a film begins, you should know what to expect.

A Shlockfest of the highest order.

Worth seeing, so you know that people were paid to get this to the public.
