Arnold Schwarzenegger: HERCULES IN NEW YORK - Awfully Good Movies

What else can be said about Arnold Schwarzenegger? Bodybuilder, Terminator, Governor, environmental advocate, Starlord's father-in-law...and it all began 50 years ago when Arnold started his film career as a Greek demigod in the Big Apple, as Awfully Good Movies tackles its first ever Arnold movie--1970's HERCULES IN NEW YORK!
Much like his Mr. Olympia competitor Lou Ferrigno, Arnold first flirted with movie stardom by playing the superstrong superman after being encouraged to audition by his fellow bodybuilder and former cinematic Hercules Reg Park, with Arnold's agent telling the producers that he had years of "stage experience"...without mentioning that he was referring to the bodybuilding stage.
But Arnie's lack of acting prowess was hardly a problem for this low budget production, as the producers would change their star's name to the more pronounceable handle of "Arnold Strong" and dubbed over his thick Austrian accent with an uncredited voice actor, and while the film's initial release may have come and gone in the blink of an eye, it grew more successful after being rereleased in the wake of Arnold's success as Conan the Barbarian and the Terminator the following decade. And with Arnold's original audio track finally being unveiled on the movie's DVD release, we can finally come to appreciate the staggeringly sucky debut performance of Mr. Schwarzenegger--his monotone line delivery, his dead lifeless eyes, and his nearly incomprehensible mangling of the English language.
