hercules movies?

[lester1/2jr]

what are some good Hercules movies?  My video store has like a million of them.  I saw one with Mickey Hergitay (the crimson executioner) that was not too good.

I must admit, the Disney Hercules is quite good (even though Danny DeVito is in it).

Hercules In New York. Hilarious. Schwarzenegger dubbed. Badly.

The mst3k done hercules movie (or movies I've only seen one of them on the show).  Another fun part of the one I remember was that gypsy came in the movie for a little bit, but couldn't handle the torture.  I think that episode was hercules and the captive women.

Probably the original Hercules w/ Steve Reeves and its sequel, "Hercules Unchained" are probably the best of the Hercules films. Though, Kevin Sorbo made a number of television movies, as Hercules, before ithe television series, "hercules: the Legendary Journeys," which are not too bad. Of course, if you are a fan of the Three Stooges, there is "The Three Stooges Meet Hercules." And, though not technically a Hercules movie, Hercules does appear in "Jason and the Argonauts" w/ special effects by Ray Harryhausen.  Enjoy them all.

Love the MST3K hercs. Hope Rhino gets the rights.
Love the line in "Herc Unchained". Cuts to the inside of a ship. In forground, a bird cage with a burning wick in it. And Crow says "Oh,no, The canary exploded!"

outside of some of the ones mentioned, some of the better (or at least more fun) entries in the Hercules/Sword&Sandal series are:

Fire Monsters Against the Son of Hercules
Medusa Against the Son of Hercules
Hercules in the Haunted World
Hercules vs. the Hydra (aka Loves of Hercules; this stars Jayne Mansfield!)
Hercules and the Princess of Troy (aka The Mighty Hercules)

lou ferrigno in "the adventures of hercules" the effects in this movie and the sound effects are too funny

[Fearless Freep]

Wasn't there a "Hercules and the Moon Men" or something similar?

[Vermin Boy]

Yes there was... In fact, I just got a copy from my dad for Christmas. Up until the infamous 20-minute sandstorm scene (the reason Joel & the Bots coined the phrase "DEEP HURTING!"), I found it to be enjoyably bad, with plenty of bad dubbing, over-the-top machismo, loooong pauses, Moe Howard-esque fight scenes, and "WTF?!" moments (Where did that sabre-toothed gorilla come from?). That sandstorm scene was murder, though, and padded the film out to roughly seven hours.

I was watching the Simpsons the other night, and this episode was rare form even for the Simpsons. Everything was top notch. It was the one where Selma decides  she wants to have a kid (eventually takes on the care of Jub Jub). Aaanyways, in said episode, Marge rented an "erotic" tape of a Hercules movie, and it holds the BEST line out of anything they have ever done. It is so incredibly stupid, that only a lover of bad movies could appreciate it.

Maiden in distress: "Hercules! The Cyclops tore off all my clothes!"

Hercules: "HAHAHAHA!!!"

Brilliant

That's where I remember it from :)
