They had the budget to get rebar bent into thunderbolt shapes?
#Monsterdon #HINY
@arcadiagt5 one might understandably think so
At school tomorrow, everyone's going to be talking about that ladder stunt
Great use of rebar for the bolts, by the way.
Oh yeah, time for Home Depot lightening bolts again
Eat divine rebar, punks. #Monsterdon
Shouldn't Samson be the one toppling the paper rolls #monsterdon
Familial loyalty does not come easy to Greek gods. #Monsterdon
AH - the mighty painted rebar arrows of Zeus
ZEUS GOT REBAR
Their stunts budget was $18.50 but that was in 1969 dollars. #Monsterdon #HerculesNYC1970
@emma I'd watch that film! #Monsterdon #HerculesinNewYork πͺπΎποΈ πΏ
#monsterdon Atlas or Samson looks like Frank Stallone
Zeus manages somehow to look these goddesses in the eyes, not the obvious tits. Is this the horny head of the pantheon we know? #monsterdon
oh thank goodness the scene's over
Ladder bro really didn't think that one through
I guess Zeus is the only one who can do anything in the real world, unless it's plot-convenient and one of the other gods happens to catch him not paying attention
That dude was totally committed to staying on the ladder.
Why is Zeus giving me strong Michael Palin vibes?
Oh, yea, we're gonna need you girls to lean in to this shot, yup. #Monsterdon
Zeus acting like complete wombat poop all the time and then being shocked when people decide to ignore him
@Louisa Shhhhhhhhh!
They sent Atlas? π€·ββοΈ
She's literally above his head whenever he's on his throne. #HerculesInNewYork #Monsterdon
If he gets some of those pretzels, his powers will be restored.
Wes Anderson needs to remake this movie.
#Monsterdon #HINY
I didn't go above your head, more to the side! #Monsterdon
So gay... π₯² #Monsterdon #HerculesinNewYork πͺπΎποΈ πΏ
#monsterdon ah yes, famous hero of antiquity: Samson
Sampson?!
Trouble? By himself. Bro, you really don't understand muscle boys...do you? #monsterdon
Flip flops was a bad choice!
just had a record-scratch moment at Samson. THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT MYTHOLOGY MY GUY
@moira Also playing Merlin
I don't remember Zeus having a palantir traditionally #monsterdon
And who's holding up the earth?! Atlas, get back at your post!
It's convenient this fight is taking place in an empty container warehouse.
Then Mayor Mamdani descends from a quadcopter and fixes everything. The End!
cmon #monsterdon, wrap it up!
Hm. Hilarity, I guess. #Monsterdon
Okay....we have to really draw this warehouse vibe here, so everyone destroy shit. #monsterdon
Okay this film may have earned hiring models to play Greek goddesses since they hired body builders to play everybody else
Atlas and Samson. Throw in some new faces at the last minute. #Monsterdon
I think in the sequel the mob takes over Olympus and Zeus finds a horse's head in his bed.
The movie is returning to form - we just need a Fist FPS again
Hey now, you still have so much to live for. Don't let this movie drive you to that!
"...I know, we can send aides to Hercules!"
This crowded, confusing shooting location? Definitely New York City. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon hey those lightning bolts are just bent rebar
damn that's a lot of boys
#monsterdon
Where's Ringo Starr? It feels like Ringo Starr should be in this.
Incredible. Two new hunks out of literally nowhere #monsterdon
That was the lamest plot twist I've ever seen, and I have seen some *REALLY FUCKING LAME* plot twists. #Monsterdon
Yelling at the guy getting beat up to get up is surely going to be effective
Porn of the era had better scripts.
Honestly, letting Herc suffer the consequences of his own actions doesnβt sound like that bad of an idea
???
what
who are these guys and where did they come from
#monsterdon
*in a very soothing, unbothered tone*
Hercules is in great peril
Samson? REALLY? #Monsterdon
"Shit, what if we put even more muscleheads on the set"
Time to summon some Biblical help for ol` Herc.
#Monsterdon #HINY
The weakest in-world excuse to send more shirtless wrestlers/bodybuilders into the fray.
This movie needed some more naked strong men, thank you, plot. #Monsterdon
"Hey, when are you gonna be a little less Juno and a little more Juyes?"
I'll say this for the movie, it is very obviously shot in NYC and not in Toronto with some occasional stock footage spliced in
I don't know what stringed instrument this is in the soundtrack, but I'm really sick of it
Best payoff in the movie: the kraut gently being placed on the hot dog
#Monsterdon
Yet another extremely milquetoast indoor set to flex in. #Monsterdon #HerculesNYC1970
OH my gawd! Look at this fabulous warehouse space! So close to Chelsea too! #monsterdon
geez Zeus *now* you choose not to get involved?
@blue Those garbabe cans didn't do nothing to nobody! LOL #Monsterdon #HerculesinNewYork πͺπΎποΈ πΏ
That guy followed the chariot driver all this way to put the topping on his hot-dog? Now thatβs service you donβt see anymore! :blobcatgiggle2: #monsterdon #herculesinnewyork
Speak or I'll... throw this rebar lightning bolt at you.
Or set a hedge on fire. One or the other.
Ah. The cart was for Zeusβ explosive bolts.
is that thunderbolt made of rebar? it... i think it is
Again with the rebar lightning I just can't
More smiting with lightning bolts could... not have rescued this movie but it would have helped
The editing in this movie is going to cause me brain damage
#monsterdon (The former governer of Califownia drives a chariot through NYC) (mumbling) something something congestion pricing
#Monsterdon πͺ π‘οΈβ‘ ποΈ π½π» πππ¬
points to whoever can recognize the birds who are shouting with each other in Central Park during this scene
#monsterdon I didn't clock Eros dressed in a knockoff Flintstones Halloween costume until now lol
Mortal or not he's still Arnold... #Monsterdon
I feel like there wasn't much point to depriving Herc of his strength if he STILL never fucking loses a fight. #Monsterdon
NO! Mighty Zeus! It was Juno! She told me brunch was at Buckley's on 4th #monsterdon
Pauli Walnuts would drive a Mustang.
#Monsterdon
#HerculesInNewYork
#WokeUpThisMorningAndGotMyselfInABMovie
Leaded gasoline did a lot of brain damage back then, it's the only explanation
The guys in suits dangle the guy in a singlet over a rail. Hm. #Monsterdon
not even in NY traffic jam those two horses will catch up
#monsterdon
This is true Rabelasian satire. Bakhtin would be proud. I also really want a hot dog with Sauerkraut now.
Oh no here we go again. Give the bouzoukis a rest lads.
#Monsterdon
So these mob guys don't have any guns?
One might argue that Nemesis chose to destroy Hercules and his reputation by a far more effective means. This movie. #Monsterdon #HerculesNYC1970
This music is relentless.
Why is it that they use mostly Roman names for every one but itβs Zeus not Jupiter?
