    Storyline

    Edit
    After many centuries, Hercules gets bored living in Olympus (the home of the great Greek gods) and decides to move to... New York. But obviously, it is not easy for a man who lived in ancient Greece to get used to modern life. So, things get a little tricky, especially when Zeus sends a few gods to bring his semi-god son back to mount Olympus. —Chris Makrozahopoulos <makzax@hotmail.com>

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      To help Arnold Schwarzenegger get the role, his agent said he had years of "stage" experience, implying theater. Schwarzenegger had only appeared on bodybuilding stages.
    • Goofs
      The bear is obviously a man in a suit, and in one shot you can see shoes on the bear.
    • Quotes

      Hercules: [Grabs forklift truck, stopping it dead] A fine chariot... but where are your horses?

    • Alternate versions
      In the original theatrical version, and older VHS versions, Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice is dubbed over by another actor. The DVD version released by Trimark Entertainment has both the original audio track, and a track with Schwarzenegger's real voice (the track also used for the newer VHS versions). In all versions, the voice of Hercules on the radio at the end is of the dub actor.

    4/10
    Goofy comedy with very early Arnie appearance
    A film of at times incredible and hilarious ineptitude (scenes of the "gods" on Mount Olympus are interrupted constantly by the sounds of honking horns, which are often louder than the heavenly dialogue) saved to some extent by the sincere starring duo of Stang and Schwartzenneger (whose voice is dubbed in the theatrical version, perhaps unintentionally making this film funnier for those like myself who've seen more than a few Italian "pec epics").

    Not a true action picture, more of an attempt at comedy that is more often funny against its intentions. Try to count how many times Arnie says "I am Hercules" (as if to convince HIMSELF that he's truly acting), and if you can make it to the end I'll give you a cracker or something.

    You gotta love this film.
