This is the start of the Hercules arc and it's a good one. The fact that they are tackling the films based on the famous hero from Greek Mythology is a dream come true for me in a strange way as I love Greek Mythology. Sidenote, I'm aware of the Steve Reeves Hercules movies and personally I didn't think the first film was bad at all, it's not a film that makes my personal favorites list of fantasy films, but still I thought it was decent watchable.
There are some good decent skits, on that's an honorable mention in my book is seeing Servo present all the new constellations in the sky and the story behind them, it really cracks me up at the utter ridiculousness of them. Though making new constellations in the sky is a cool activity.
But there are plenty of memorable riffs which to me is the strong part of this episode. Liked what they said when the left the Amazon Island like "Jerkules" and Crow with usual sarcasm "Great Hercules this is so much better." An island with savage wild men and a T-Rex that want to kill me over an island beautiful woman that would want to kill me the end, yeah not seeing the upside in choosing the island with the T-Rex. Ok, the one with the amazons is dangerous as well but hey what a way to go.
The other riffs were on the battle at the end and seeing Herc with the chains which is the highlight of the film, and the MST crew they of course deliver the riffs faster than Herc swings the heavy chains.
This episode comedy has the muscle for hilarity.
Rating: 3 stars.
