@ramsey Are you suggesting that Arnold pulling his shirt off every 5 minutes was NOT the purpose of this film? I think "Mandatory" is the better term. π
you just had a book on hercules on hand 24/7 and you never thought to read it once you started hanging out with a guy who claims to be hercules #monsterdon
gonna be disappointed if they miss the opportunity to make a βShowtime At The Apolloβ gag
no bears were harmed in the filming of this movie. they were only bitchslapped by the mighty hand of Hercules
Nice AND easy AND legal?
Can't have all three, gotta pick two. π
I may be too busy laughing to riff effectively guys. I was SO wrong about this movie. #Monsterdon
an attempt was made at portraying a discus throw
drachmas :blobfoxangrylaugh:
Herc is kind of an asshole in this but I guess he's gonna fit in great in 1970 NYC
Here we have him wielding a plank, protesting the harvesting of old growth forests, seeding his future as governor of California
TBH the opening greek music is rather catchy
did he actuality say he wanted to browse around on Earth? was is this place? a giant mall? and what's he browsing for?
Welp, let's see what monster tried to take out Herc tonight.
I don't like Lou's hair like this. πΆβπ«οΈ

this sht is legit hilarious.
Apparently Pretzie was the voice of both Herman the Mouse (in Herman and Katnip cartoons) and Top Cat.
Easily the worst movie Arnie ever made
"Think I'll have an apple"
*Werner Herzog voice
The apple is the forbidden knowledge that Hercules was never real, and this is not his flat
I'm surprised how few honks are audible in the Olympus scenes
Guess they were pretty deep in the park
The bouzouki hurts so much
Zeus could easily pass for Eric Idleβs unfunny brother
Okay now... Do this movie again, but with Danny DeVito
The bouzouki players must have made a mint on this movie
sooo was samson hanging out in olympus all this time too? :thaenkin:
Why do gods always have such reluctance to save their children; what's going on across the religious multiverse π€¨
You shouldn't have to be talked into it!
Starting to understand how Arnold came to regard the role of βimplacable murderous cyborg that slices its own eyeball out in a cheap motel roomβ as a major upgrade to his acting career #Monsterdon
this is going for a Blues Brothers ending, isn't it?
Doesn't anybody have a gun? This is America?!
i miss hot dog carts. they used to be everywhere in #nyc. not anymore.
That's a dedicated hot dog vendor.
<writhes in pain>
*Relentless bouzouki music*
#Monsterdon
I wish I could bark and a Twink appear but my wife said no....
Zeus dispatches another twink to do his bidding
The current world record for the clean and jerk is 264 kilograms (582.4 pounds), held by Lasha Talakhadze. This record was set during the 2021 World Championships.
Per wikipedia. #monsterdon
"Arnold says his best gym powerlifts were: squat 545 lbs. (247 kg.), bench press 500 lbs. (227 kg.) (more recently he has claimed 525 lbs.), and deadlift 710 (322 kg.)" --thebarbell.com
when Einstein said that god does not play dice he was just talking about the one god really
Pluto feels like he fell out of a long running TV series about science fiction type spies....
A CUP OF BLACK COFFEE YOU SAY :blobfoxcofeowo:
Pretzel man is the best actor in this, and thatβs a low bar.
OKAY! what did they call those βautomaticβ cafeterias. when i got here in 1986, the last one was somewhere close to Grand Central Station.
Zeus sent his fastest twink
i dislike faces with a beard and no mustache. it just looks⦠unnatural.
I love how the room tone for every single line of dialogue on Olympus is completely different.
SOIPENTS
All of these men are seedy and exploitative....
i knew i had seen Hercβs friend before
DAY POSING AS NIGHT!
night for night #monsterdon
Herc got a whole wardrobe. It was a simpler time.
that's the gayest penny novel cover
Oh he can't pay a cab but he can afford 300 square yards of wool for Herc's suit?
lol, this guy seems to know all the places old gay men would hang out for some reason...
when you are in new york you are always just in central park anyway, so it makes no difference where you get in or out of the cab #monsterdon
the sort of guy who hangs around the docks, looking for naΓ―ve foreigners to take under his wing....
i am in awe, this is pinging the end of the gague, 10/10ing it for me #monsterdon
sista really tapped into her inner chola with that eyeshadow. Divine would have loved it.
The acting is terrible, the script is silly, the production values are low at best⦠and I love it. This movie is amazing.
#Monsterdon
"He refused to work sir"
Good on you Hercules, you were rescued, you don't need to earn passage
wasn't that lady with the brown hat in the Airplane movie?
LOL. This is a dubbed Arnie! No Austrian accent. π
these mfers doing the voiceovers are really finding humor in every little moment
I'm relatively new to #Monsterdon which means that 3/9 of the films I've watched on here have been Hercules films.
EDIT: Actually, I forgot that Hercules appears in Jason and the Argonauts as well, but I would not consider that a Hercules film
Oh, it just ocurred to me that the Herc/Pretzy relationship is like Jon Voight/Dustin Hoffman in Midnight Cowboy.
The ending was the best part of the movie. :)
Many thanks to steadfast @Taweret π
movie-watching experience like getting punched in the head
Arnie sure got cast in better stuff from there, really something to see where he started
have a nice week y'all!
WTF was that about?
Zeus going down to earth as... a rabbi?
Franklin the turtle got a nice cable knit sweater but no shell
no dog you do not get to just say it was all in pretzies imagination that's not allowed you made a movie about hercules in new york and you have to live with that decision #monsterdon
DAMN! THE SMOG!
It really is about the friends we make along the way
Apparently no dialogue was recorded by Arnie for this bit with the radio, so there's only the ADR actor
liiiiitle bit of smog in 1970 NYC
And then Atlas and Samson just appear from offscreen with no effects whatsoever. #monsterdon
Zeus's lighting rod is really shit though...doesn't even glow
#Monsterdon
I love how Zeus's lightning bolts are BLATANTLY just rebar. Community theater usually has better production values.
I am appreciating the 1970 era New York architecture though, some of it pops up in Sim City 4
Wow, that was one dedicated hot dog vendor!
@SnoopJ like i'm sure they didn't even get a permit for all the central park filming, they just sort of set their stuff up and let it roll #monsterdon
If the little Rizzo man isn't yeeted out a window then I want my money back
i thought they were going to wrestle!?!?!?! #monsterdon
Chronic gambling among muscle boys. So typical in the 70s....now they just pretend to be massage therapists on Grindr to pay for their 'roids #monsterdon
@JoeWynne This reminds me of the Ferris Bueller parade shots, which they shot without permits, during an actual parade.
The Juno/Nemesis slash fic practically writes itself! Or, more likely, Iβm projecting because Iβd rather watch that than this mess π #Monsterdon
The acid in the 60's was WAY better than what's floating around today. #monsterdon
Okay I can appreciate Pluto's element of camp. At least it's memorable.
like was that pluto scene shot on location with a black fabric draped behind a gate they found walking around new york? why would there be street sounds #monsterdon
βIβm going to take a showerβ - what a great way to stop conversations I dislike
I am so glad they finally let Arnie speak in his own words.
And Hera is the wife of Zeus.
The Roman pantheon equivalent is Jupiter and Juno.
@hollie meets the Muppets, that sort of thing
I want there to be a New York montage, like where he visits the MET or goes to a Broadway show, or tries to fight the Statue of Liberty
