The Adventures of Hercules (1985) is a childhood favorite that I recently watched for the first time in a long time on Tubi. The storyline follows Hercules return to Earth after Zeus' 7 thunderbolts are stolen and spread across the globe. Upon returning to Earth Hercules and a team of adventures set-out to obtain and return Zeus' cherished thunderbolts.
This movie is directed by Luigi Cozzi (Hercules) and stars Lou Ferrigno (The Incredible Hulk), Milly Carlucci (Tomorrow I'm Getting Married), Carla Ferrigno (Black Roses), William Berger (Devil Fish) and Claudio Cassinelli (The Good Thief).
These movies have a classic 80s feel to it and actually reminded me of the Superman films from this era. The soundtrack, opening credits and hero sequences were all classic 80s, as are the special effects. The cast is very good and aligned to the characters to perfection. Ferrigno was an awesome Hercules. The attire, clay animation, props and sets were cool too as were the monsters Hercules fought.
Overall this didn't age well but still provides solid entertainment value for those with 80s nostalgia. I would score this a 4.5-5/10 and recommend watching it once.
