Trivia
Although the characters of David Argue, Mary Coustas and Bruce Spence appear to be providing all the voices for the feature film, they are only miming as it was lesser known stars of the original Hercules Returns show that are playing the voice parts. The producers felt the film needed known Australian leads to get anyone interested in a voiceover film. See more »Quotes

This film is brilliant.
If you want to see a serious movie with a great story, acting, and drama, don't bother.
This film was made for laughs, pure and simple, and it succeeds. And boy does it succeed! The film is basically like a feature version of the "Whose Line is it Anyway" game "Film dub".
In the movie, a group of friends decide to buy an old run-down old-fashioned cinema, spruce it up, and bring back the old-fashioned feeling of the cinema. As their premiere movie, they decide to show the last film that was shown in the cinema, a 1960's Italian film called "Hercules". Unfortunately just minutes before the film is to be screened to a group of very prestigious people, they find out it doesn't have any English dubbing or subtitles. In a desperate attempt to save the film, the 3 friends decide to turn off the sound, and create all the characters voices and sound-effects within the projection room itself.
There are a couple of other subplots, but the film is just chaotic brilliance as the friends try desperately to carry on.
I couldn't stop laughing when I saw the film, and you should seriously try and see it next time you get the chance. You won't be disappointed.
