So was ripping off his shirt as a form of ID count as a labour of Hercules? Is that 6 labours?

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

loved the accidental almost pratfall and laugh, classic movie dating shenanigans

#Monsterdon

This film reminds me of the Best of the Worst (Red Letter Media) episode where one of the vids was Arnie on holiday in latin America.

It was equally creepy and uncomfortable.

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

@jonny *and* who performs feats of superhuman strength

#monsterdon

someone should bring back automats

#monsterdon

can I check off "boring scene" on the bingo card if the entire movie has been boring

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

Okay, worth it to see the Automat in action.
#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

in case anyone didn't know, "Zeus" and "Jupiter" (*djous + pater) (and, for that matter, the Vedic Dyaus-Pita) are cognates, sharing the same root as "deity", "deva", "diva", etc. I know this isn't very interesting, but it's still more interesting than this fucking movie

#Monsterdon

AUTOMAT! This is the best scene in the flick! #Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

#Monsterdon
I used to think Automats looked really bleak, but tbh they really put modern McDonald's to shame. AND you get your food quicker!

I just don't get turned on by gigantic muscles, sorry Hercules.
And put your shirt back on.

#Monsterdon

I just want to watch Arnold fight Lou Ferrigno

#Monsterdon

"We do not punish in hate, only in sorrow." is a lot more eloquent than "This hurts me as much as it does you." even if it means the same thing. #monsterdon

NO! Take it off, take it all off! #monsterdon

Godzilla?! #Monsterdon

Me at work next year. "We do not punish in hate, only in sorrow."

#monsterdon

GODZILLA CAMEO!
#Monsterdon #HINY

Holy fuck that turtleneck is a crime. #Monsterdon #HerculesNYC1970

I just love this 10 minute scene about sending mercury instead of nemesis for reasons that I care about for some reason. #monsterdon

Will Mercury show up with a flower delivery?

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

Send Mercury for Hercules in the rains on the plains in Spain the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true, Moses supposes erroneously. #monsterdon

Mercury and Hercule(s)
sittin' in a tree

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

Zeus please smite all the extra bird foley. It's almost drowning out the sound of the highway in the distance.
#Monsterdon #HINY

#Monsterdon 💪 🗡️⚡ 🏙️ 🗽🐻 🐎𓌝😬

no no no it's Zeus and *Hera* not Zeus and Juno. It's *Jupiter* and Juno. good lord

All right, all right, I don't want any arguments!

Too late!

#monsterdon

on reflection, i think the bear would have been improved with an explosion.

#monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970

Actually, rioting among the mortals is what Greek Gods did best! #Monsterdon

Yeah! Send another twink to Hercules, Zeus. #monsterdon

Mercury just wants to hit the clubs before Nemesis ruins the whole family's credit rating. #Monsterdon

You put him there Zeus, you ill tempered tyrant

#Monsterdon

Hercules will return in the Avengers of my Displeasures: Doomsday

#Monsterdon

It is fated that you speak with Nemesis #HerculesInNewYork #Monsterdon

Perhaps to solution to running short is not to have a character read exposition out of a book straight to camera, itself an act of padding given we already saw the backstory?

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

I was wondering if they were going to bring up the snake-strangling

#monsterdon

"real estate deals"

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon It wouldn't be a Hercules movie without all kinds of innuendo (In my WHAT-O????)...

Literally can't hold his liquor.

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

Oh he said 'runt'....I thought things were getting gritty...

Throw the little guy out the window, he annoys me

#Monsterdon

So the monsters are the mob? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
#HerculesInNewYork

You know, I thought I had seen bad acting and poor production values before..

They're gonna halitose him into submission.

#Monsterdon #hercules

@Lazarou I had to check to make sure this was a #Monsterdon toot. Because, you know...

These guys are more stereotypical than the gangsters in a Bugs Bunny 'toon. #Monsterdon #HerculesNYC1970

Welp, that's a bingo...

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

More soft-core wrestling. Hot.
#monsterdon

fat lips?

#monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

"Subdues wild zoo bear". Surely "zoo" and "wild" are at-odds in this sentence.
#monsterdon

And then the mob showed up #Monsterdon

this has an hour to go

#monsterdon

Bear beating? Bear baiting? Either disturbing #Monsterdon

@Lazarou One can dream

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Robert F Kennedy gonna want that bear carcass. For research.

Sped up camera bear fight!

#monsterdon

"Do you have a girl back home?"
"You know how it is."
"Oh. Okay. Gotcha. I read you loud and clear."
#monsterdon

Only YOU can prevent forest fires! And only you can prevent plot from progressing.

#monsterdon

*faints*

#monsterdon #hercules

Some upbeat bear wrasslin' music.

#monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

Bro, never fight a bear. They are MEAN when they're horny. #monsterdon

That's a constant low grumble coming from the bear. Is this foreplay?
#Monsterdon

Da Bear did nothing wrong!

#monsterdon

Ooooooh, so scary! 😃

#Monsterdon

They filmed in I-cant-see-a-damn-thing-for-night. #monsterdon

Man in a bear costume?

#Monsterdon

So uh, is Hercules implicitly into polyamory?

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

@JigmeDatse The monster is Pretzie’s jokes

#monsterdon

"He's a deity"

She ... doesn't know what that means, she's only the college or later daughter of a professor. #Monsterdon

Yeah, it's not as offensive as Invasion of the Star Creatures, but it's got that quality to it. Hackneyed humor is *so much worse* than hackneyed drama. #Monsterdon

My father! He's a shapeshifting rapist. #Monsterdon #HerculesNYC1970

#Monsterdon 💪 🗡️⚡ 🏙️ 🗽🐻 🐎𓌝😬

Look at that beautiful paint horsie thoooooo

If that was a bear then I'm bigfoot #Monsterdon

So Helen's dad likes to study men who assault his daughter's boyfriend and is interested in young boys.

Got it.

#Monsterdon

Tweed jacket is super into bodybuilders. #monsterdon

Already, we know animals were harmed in the making of this movie...

#Monsterdon #hercules

Arnie's performance in this is basically the same as in Twins

#monsterdon #hercules

Not really catching much with that lighting. #Monsterdon #HerculesNYC1970

So uh, why would you even bother punching someone Arnold's size? You can't even go below the belt since that's all shrunken. #monsterdon

do we blame every single actor in this film for the quality? or do we blame the obvious fault at hand: the director

#monsterdon

if only this movie had amusing situations

#monsterdon

"I find him refreshing." "I'd like to know him better."

*subtext*

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970

ALWAYS with the TROUBLE! These KIDS today will be the DEATH of me, so much TROUBLE!

#monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

lol, can imagine Arnold being awkward at a party like this

YEETING!

#Monsterdon

The maid has never seen such shenanigans.

#monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970

You have strucked Hercules

#monsterdon

Can we replace Pretzi with a small psychic girl who rides around on Herc's shoulder?
#Monsterdon #HINY

Arnold has the body of a God and the slightly crossed eyes of an elderly possum. #monsterdon

That's not the way you talk to a Dame/Broad.

Ah, the 1970s

#monsterdon

"Are you fucking?"

Apologize!

#Monsterdon

Nerd has never seen Party in Rio

#Monsterdon

A ten cent store? Damn, inflation has got to us.

#Monsterdon

How does Herc magically have a nice suit now? Did they spend the $50 on that?

(and who was walking around with $50 in their pocket for random bets in the late 60s?)

#Monsterdon

Oh my god this is poetry. Amazing poetry.

#Monsterdon

Where is Hercules getting these clothes?

#Monsterdon

When did Herc get a suit?

#monsterdon

Is "T" a drug slang I'm not aware of?

#monsterdon

Hey now, there's only room for one character not familiar with American cultural idioms in this movie

wait no I lied

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

Oh cleaning his nails on an antler, finally some representation for me in this film. #Monsterdon

implying that people have in fact invited him to do plenty of other things with them before. i think we need a movie about Temu Woody Allen's life.

#monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970

This nerd is suspicious

#Monsterdon

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️

30 Minute Poll!! ⏳

In a 2023 interview Schwarzenegger stated that the worst film he believes he made was ...

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970 #HerculesInNewYork

It's becoming clear to me I have the body of a 1969 coach. #Monsterdon
