Trivia
Lucy Lawless later reappeared in the television series as recurring antagonist Xena, which the character was given her spin-off series Xena: Warrior Princess (1995). Roma Downey was considered for that role, but she ended up acting as Monica in the religious fantasy drama series Touched by an Angel (1994). Coincidentally, Hudson Leick (who was well known as Callisto) appears in two shows. Leick portrayed her role in Xena as Callisto and Touched by an Angel as Celeste in two episodes in 1997.

Quotes

She's a perfect example of what happens when a woman gets too much power.

I have to laugh when I hear someone complain about the fact that the costumes are not "historically accurate." This is a tale of Herecles, for gods sake. No one was there! They could have all been naked.

The dialog is certainly misogynistic. It was pretty pitiful writing, but they made more than one dig about women. Apparently, like doctors introducing porn to make it seem legitimate, they feel using these tired clichés serve a greater purpose.

Anthony Quinn played Herecles' father, Zeus, and was the most interesting character in the movie.

Herecles managed to have an imaginative response to the women as they sought to rape and pillage.
