    • Trivia
      Reg Park had to do all of his own stunts, as was common in "sword-and-sandal" movies. There were simply no Italian stuntmen available who were big enough to double for such massive, imposing body builders as Park and his colleagues.
    • Goofs
      When Thesus attacks the stone creature his sword breaks in half, but later in the film his sword is intact.
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Medea: This is Italia, a kingdom city of ancient Greece in an age of myth and legend. It is a time when Olympian gods and demigods rule over the elements of nature and control the destinies of men.

    The British Hercules
    Definitely one of the better Hercules films with British born bodybuilder Reg Park (the man who trained Arnold Schwarzenegger) a better Hercules than most. Another thing that puts this one above most of the rest is the presence of British villain Christopher Lee, who's about three inches taller than Reg Park.

    In this one Hercules literally goes to Hell so that he can retrieve a magical rock thing that will save his girlfriend. From there he battles the usual assortment of monsters against a backdrop of atmospheric sets. This one's good for Halloween or any dark, misty night by the fireplace.
