- "The world needed a hero... It got a legend!" Joel reviews the oft-derided Cannon version of HERCULES (1983) starring Lou Ferrigno and directed by Luigi Cozzi (STARCRASH, CONTAMINATION). With so many Hercules movies to choose from, how does this one hold up?
Special thanks to Invidninja92 for recommending this one to us!
The best built Hercules ever and what a smooth running action
The best Hercules film ever!!!
Steve Reeves or Lou Ferrigno or Kevin Sorbo or Dwaney 'The Rock' Johnson
I haven't seen the first of these two Hercules films in ages, but its super-villainous version of King Minos always stood out in memory, and helped build my confidence as a story teller and artist to give advance science a chance in the battle against magic. I hope you guys have more reviews in the near future - off to share this at my official Facebook group Enshohma Lives!
In the 70s I was a major fan of Hercules (DC, Marvel and Charlton comics, the myths, Steve Reeves and anywhere else I could find him) and especially his stint in the Avengers and the Champions. When I saw how visually Ferigno looked perfect I was on clod 9 when this movie came out. Sadly, I set a pretty high bar for him and this movie. But even though it didn't reach that I still had unrealistic hope that this would not only be a new wave of Hercules films just like Reeves, I even (silly me) thought it'd somehow lead to Ferigno reprizing the roll in a double roll against his Hulk self or at least in that Marvel TV universe loosely being made back then. I actually didnt even know of the sequal; can't wait to see it. Verwy entertaining and informative video.
The films are blu-ray over here in the uk, in a three-pack with the Ferringo sinbad movie. but it's from 101 films who still think that interactive menus and scene selection count as special features.
Technically there is a mount on mars called olympus, just above 12000 meters tall
Brad Harris, who previously played Hercules in The Fury of Hercules in 1962, also appeared in this movie.
I watching this like 100 times by the time I was 10 years old
I love STARCRASH and HERCULES!!
Big Louie was in good shape for that film , to say the least . He almost looked as fake as some of the monsters ! Classic film though. 80s were a good time to be a kid. I got to see it for my 10th birthday. The same week I got to go see Johnny Bench retirement game in Cincinnati , and he hit a home run to tie the game . So I was able to see both my childhood heroes perform that week. It was a memorable time
I'm from and currently live in Cincinnati lol.
@@joseanthompson9069 I was living just a few miles from Cincinnati, in Rising Sun Indiana at that time. I went to a lot of Reds games at old Riverfront. I still live close to Cincinnati . I don't intend to leave the area. I love that city
@@abelincoln5698 Nice
I think im in love with this movie.
Awesome review, man. I don't know if you're making content anymore, but you've earned a new subscriber.
I saw some ads for early computers , in the same visual style in those 1980's computer magazines.
"Adventures of Hercules", the sequel, borrows some footage from another low budget gem from 1961 "Atlantis the Lost Continent". That film from my childhood itself uses footage from "Quo Vadis".
I remember being very interested in this film when it first came out, but it didn't play anywhere near me. I'm glad I didn't go to it, I would have been disappointed. I prefer to be appointed.
I have question for you, Is The Adventure Of Hercules ( 1985 ) release In Theaters
@@hishamnct6983 No idea, I only know it wasn't released in any theaters near me.
The strength level of Hercules in this movie is all over the place. First the guy has problems holding four horses back and then he throws a huge tree trunk in to space. WTF?
the sequel is even wierder, including a battle between king kong and the dinosaur, done in early computer graphic
Lou Ferrigno > The Rock
