Watching this movie, you might be forgiven for thinking you've tuned into a science fiction film instead because this is Hercules unlike ever before. The sets are huge and the special effects - utilising the familiar back projection and matte shots - whilst not always convincing, are at least spectacular. The best thing that can be said about HERCULES is that visually, it stands out from the crowd.

Carefully he gathered together all the right ingredients - a wide distributor in the form of the dreaded Cannon films, headed by the unforgettable Golan-Globus team possibly the only muscleman ever to rival Schwarzenegger in terms of sheer bulk a really appalling script pretty much the same crew and effects men he used in his 1979 film plus loads of impressive sets. Luigi Cozzi actually managed to make a film EVEN CHEESIER than his previous epic, 1979's STARCRASH! Proving that he had learnt nothing about film-making in the four years since, Cozzi now attempted to cash in on 1983's sword-and-sorcery boom which came in the wake of CONAN THE BARBARIAN. An impossible event that nobody ever thought could happen.

In 1983 an event happened which changed the course of history. Director Lugi Cozzi does a clunky job, but keeps it moving along at a smooth pace. Pino Donaggio scores the bombastic soundtrack. Brad Harris and Mirella D'Angelo also appear. William Berger milks it up in the villain role and Sybil Danning looks fetching, but has bite with her villainous turn. Lou Ferrigno as Hercules has the physic, constantly flexing and twitching his muscles. Some odd moments (like the tin-bot monsters) and lame dialogues. Hercules (the champion of men) must rescue a princess from being sacrificed and encounters obstacles along the way. How it plays out, is like a cosmic chest game between the gods. The production did drum up some striking images amongst it's cheap sets / effects, but despite that it wasn't principally all that creative in presenting the material. evil sword and sorcery epic mainly consisting of echoing voices, tacky optical FX, colourful decors (sometimes miniatures) with moody lighting and some atmospheric illustrations / confrontations.

'Hercules' is a low-grade, straight-laced good vs. It's just part of the tragedy that occurs you know for dramatic effect. The bear suit being flung into outer-space. Actual bear footage spliced together with someone donning a very convincing bear suit. Cool! However how it's executed had me snickering. One sequence just sticks in mind, other than that meaninglessly grand opening.

Some things have got to be seen to be believed and this 80s take on 'Hercules' has plenty in store. However this kitsch-like presentation works because of how cheap and ludicrous it is.
