Herc, maybe turning the cab on its side was a bit much. Cabbie was just doing his job.

#Monsterdon

He's working his way up to throwing things into space, @Taweret, starting with flipping cars.

#HerculesInNewYork
#Monsterdon

Is Hercules going to walk past Simon & Garkfunkel sitting on a park bench?

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

Oh look, another light warm up with random taxi tipping for good measure (did Herc indulge in Cow Tippiing back in the day?0 #Monsterdon

And now, introducing the white people who will serve as our antagonists. #Monsterdon

This pretzy guy moves like Kermit. but with a lot less talent
#monsterdon

Oh no the sexless pipe-smoking academic has arrived. #Monsterdon

Now they found a gay softball team. They all look like lesbians. #monsterdon

Hercules seems to get comparatively weaker with each sequential Hercules movie we watch 🤔
#monsterdon

It's J.R. "Bob" Dobbs!!

#monsterdon

No shortage of guys looking at 300lbs of perfectly triangular muscle and thinking "I can whip this guy" #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 💪 🗡️⚡ 🏙️ 🗽🐻 🐎𓌝😬

oh no Herc speaks of himself in the third person but that initial rhotic vowel is not easy for Arnie

Pretzi & Hercules holding hands in the meadow. That's kind of sweet. #Monsterdon

We have smoking! A pipe, even!

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970

@Elleaster Bonus points if it's exactly 12 vignettes

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

He's not French off the boat, he's Greek off the boat, keep up with the story!

#monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

Hey! Rolling ain't yeeting!!!

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

Everyone in 1960's New York really wants to pick a fight huh

With the Terminator no less

#Monsterdon

Herc and the pretzel man are holding hands as they run away!!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🥰 #Monsterdon

Hey, they left the basket of pretzels behind!

#monsterdon

Hercules has no honor.

#Monsterdon #HerculeseInNewYork

@Binder $2 could actually buy something in 1969. #Monsterdon #HerculesNYC1970

Ah, Movie New York, where everything is a short cab ride?

#Monsterdon
#HerculesInNewYork

The new york accents are almost as hard to undertand as the austrian accent. Almost... #Monsterdon

One Arnold is incredibly strong, the other is an incredibly nuanced and realistic actor

#monsterdon

I mean... if you can flip the taxi, does that mean the taxi's a pancake?

#Monsterdon

The dialog and diction in this movie are unparalleled.

#Monsterdon

"How dare you touch Hercules!"

That's why he's always losing his clothes. So no one can touch him. #Monsterdon

So is that guy going to get his bagel basket out of the car?
#Monsterdon

Yeet that taxi, Herc!

#monsterdon

Hercules thinks a lot of Herculeself

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

Herc tips the cab. That's great, but your buddy just lost his basket of pretzels.

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970

@paco

Too cheap even for rear projection?

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

Hercules first labor is to find a bush in Central Park big enough to hide him and his new boyfriend. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon
#HerculesInNewYork

Remember when New York had cabs?

So basically a series of vignettes where Hercules overpowers everything.

#monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️

⁉️ TRIVIA IN
NEW YORK 💪🤼

Screenwriter/producer Aubrey Wisberg appears to have based characters on strained memory from schooling. They are a mix from Greek and Roman mythology, and later even the Bible.

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970 #HerculesInNewYork

Hercules talks about Hercules in the third person

#monsterdon #hercules

When a joke should be this long, this film makes it at least 10x as long.

#monsterdon

This cabbie is going to fuck them up over $2. #Monsterdon

Gloriously stupid #Monsterdon

@klu9 @gblues For those watching the dub, can they tell us if the voice actor actually emotes?

Because Arnold's voice performance is soporific, and very Austrian.

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

"Isn't it enough that Hercules rode in your chariot?"

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970

Fresh off the boat, dumbass. #Monsterdon #HerculesNYC1970

I will never tire of them giving wordplay to this guy. #Monsterdon

"Hercules, Shmercules" okay i guess shm-reduplication counts

#Monsterdon

Why does he talk about himself in the third person

#monsterdon #hercules

throw the taxi into space, herc

#monsterdon

@nev

Does "Hercules Schmercules" count?

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

Hercules shmercules, gimme the dough! #monsterdon

Hercules, mercules, Give me the dough!

LOL

#Monsterdon

@yatsu That recitation of Apollo's love life while eating a pretzel was completely sublime. This is a great movie.

#monsterdon

So the nerdy twinks takes him to a cruising park....back when people did that....and didn't get killed #monsterdon

Yerkyooleez!

#Monsterdon

Hercules takes the tinyest bite of the pretzel because he's watching his carbs. He really cares about his macros.

#monsterdon #hercules

Strangely, they seem to have actually filmed this scene in a moving car in real traffic.
#monsterdon

This is clearly Central Park. Because two people said it already. #Monsterdon #HerculesNYC1970

Just drop us off in Central Park, anywhere is fine. We'll just use B-roll. #Monsterdon

Holey late 60s cab batman. #monsterdon

Like New York itself, this film is the ultimate grab-bag of world accents

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

That guy seemed surprised to be reminded that there was a cabbie.

#monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970

Boks?

#monsterdon
#HerculesInNewYork

Mmm... pretzel...

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

They call him Pretzy because he sells Pretzels, just like everyone calls me Social Servicesy

#monsterdon

"He went to every bar in the east village looking for a wife. Never seemed to find one..."

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

Terpsichore was a difficult one for Arnie to enuncate.

@Taweret
HR Law of the Sea

#Monsterdon

Apparently Central Park is right off FDR now.

#monsterdon

Customs not a thing in 1970s New York apparently. Not that they would have slowed him down much... #Monsterdon

Sharing a pretzel - bonding!

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970

Here - have a handful of pretzels

#monsterdon
#HerculesInNewYork

So... Is this supposed to be funny? Or boring? #Monsterdon

Wait, I know this guy from 80s TV. He’s played many funny voiced week guys! #Monsterdon

"I knew Apollo"

i bet you did.

#monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970

I hope Pretzel and Schmendrick from The Last Unicorn are good friends.

#monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

So for comedic effect we cast a little awkward dude as his foil. #Monsterdon

@steggy This documentary? #monsterdon

Pretzi the Pretzelmonger on the Waterfront. #Monsterdon

@paco lol but yes, I think we all knew this was coming

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

Nothing goes over my head. I would catch it.

#monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

Herc's new pal did a ton of voices for Hanna Barbara. He was one of Top Cat's gang among others. #Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

"Uptown" is an actual address in NYC.
#Monsterdon

who would win, arnold or forklift driver Klaus

#Monsterdon

What was the point of the forklift scene?

#Monsterdon

I unironically love the outfit choices for Arnold in this “welcome to New York” scene #Monsterdon

@ramsey NGL it's pretty charming

#monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970

Argh, ho visto solo 5 minuti e rosico che non lo posso continuare, che trash signorə

#monsterdon

@bitprophet yes yes

#Monsterdon

These are the labors of Hercules this time around, he just fucks w/ laborers #Monsterdon

They just don't make tables like they used to. #Monsterdon

Or forklifts for that matter...

Saw some of the #monsterdon messages before starting the film so I thought I was prepared for the acting, but I was not!

Oh...muscle boy being rescued by a nerdy twink. So typical. So fucking typical #monsterdon

@Violinknitter

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouzouki

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

#monsterdon 20 whole bucks? Normally they pay me in woims!

What is this Arthur Mothman dude selling anyways, pretzel Kabobs?

Oh, guess so.

I know a love story when I see one. Go get you your man, beret-bearer

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

Oh, so he'll do what the tiny guys says, but everyone else gets their ass kicked. #Monsterdon #HerculesNYC1970

Some combination of the music and the guys running around make me feel like I'm watching an Abbot & Costello routine.

#Monsterdon

are we board of this movie yet?
