In this adaptation of the Greek myth, Hercules (Lou Ferrigno) -- a semi-divine being -- squares off against King Minos (William Berger), who is attempting to use science to gain power and take over the world. With the help of a benevolent sorceress, Circe (Mirella D'Angelo), Hercules tries to save his beloved Cassiopeia (Ingrid Anderson) from being sacrificed by Minos, and struggles against laser-breathing creatures and an evil sorceress (Sybil Danning).

No good will come of detailing how this film's narrative departs from classical mythology to traffic in baser materials from 'Superman' to 'Star Wars.' Suffice it to say that the results are a tribute to the materials.

The new mythological hero sub-genre dies still- born with Hercules.

Husband and I went to see this when it was new to the theatres. We walked out before the half-way point. Bad acting, bad dubbing, bad special effects. Bad.

Since I first saw this movie (in Theatre) has been the lowest bar for which I've measured all other movies. 35 years at bottom is a truly Herculean accomplishment.

Everything was incompetent (acting, narrative, script, fight scenes, etc). The effects were cheesy and cheap. The whole thing was cheesy and cheap. That's why I liked it. A near perfect bad movie; awful and entertaining.

Not the best movie, but remotely entertaining when there's nothing else to watch.

If you liked The Room, you're gonna LOVE Hercules. It's basically the adventures of Captain Beefcake (Lou Ferrigno) in ancient Greece, battling robots with lasers and stuff. The leading lady was played by a female version of William Shatner, albeit far more sartorially awesome. The costumes, the special effects, the acting, the directing, the totally random addition of outer-space elements, the whole thing just makes you scream out, OMG, I can't believe they made this. It's so fantastically bad in so many awesome ways, you can't resist it, you'll laugh, you'll smile, you'll learn absolutely nothing about the story of Hercules but it will be awesome.
