Georgan G @RT98616417 08/23/2024 The movie was silly but I recommend u do NOT watch as cruelty to horses goes on & on. They trip the horses, and some will not survive. See more 07/05/2016 A silly little film starring body builder Steve Reeves in the Hercules Franchise, it was so bad that I actually laughed a few times. See more 12/04/2015 quite a stretch, not much in the story. See more 07/29/2014 69% "I don't care if he's Pluto, I'm going to knock that silly grin off his face."-Hercules (Steve Reeves) See more 04/29/2014 Married to Sylva but bewitched by Sylvia--Steve Reeves Unleashed!! See more 08/12/2013 Epic, but dated, Franch-Italian production sees Hercules returning to see his home city on the verge of war as two brothers feud over it's control. Hercules is prevented from helping much as he spends a portion of this film with amnesia yet his battle with Anteo the Giant will be remembered for ages. See more Read all reviews
