Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt one point, Lou Ferrigno walked into Menahem Golan's office after reading the original script, which was filled with more violence and gratuitous sex, told him that the script was a "piece of shit," and threw into the garbage. Ferrigno wanted a more family-oriented fantasy film, which was finally released against Golan's wishes.
- GoofsWhen Hercules throws the rock tied to the rope out into space, you can see a wire hooked to the rock as it pulls it out into space.
- Quotes
King Minos: Could I just see it grow a little bit? It would mean a great deal to me.

Featured review
Only for devoted Barabarian movie fans...
Sword and Sorcery, D and D, whatever you want to call it, it was a genre unto itself back in the day. And this, this is one of the defining movies of that genre, like it or not. I, myself, am a huge sword and sorcery movie, comic, and TV show fan. I own many things relating to Conan and started a 'barbarian brothers' website when there was no info on them to be found on the internet. So, naturally, the fact that this movie is cheesy, campy, and just plain over the top appeals to me. And, as an amateur bodybuilder and longtime fan of 'classic' bodybuilding- of which Lou is an integral part, I enjoy this movie as one of Lou's best. Every other comment has given the basic plot, told about the special effects and so forth. But, I just want to say, If you are into this particular genre, this movie is a must have. The coloring, scenery, effect, sounds and especially the magnificent muscles of Mr. Ferrigno make it very enjoyable. It's not so much like sipping champagne and dining on caviar as it is like having beef jerky and pop. But, hey, sometimes you just crave some calorie rich fun food! It is now available on a double-sided DVD with Hercules 2- which, yes, is even more over the top.
