Unexpected nightmare at 20,000 feet

Yes, he clearly sounds Greek...

#Monsterdon

I'm learning so many nautical terms!

#monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970

#Monsterdon
What the hell is this soundtrack?

Juno and Zeus? Okay.

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

He’s dead kids! Horray!

#monsterdon #herculesinnewyork1970

My "vacation".

#monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970

Gag your neighbor with an oxygen mask before gagging yourself. #monsterdon

The actor playing Zeus is giving 110%.

Zeus' bolt is adorable

Everyone's got a different accent in Olympus.

I hope Stang wears something like he wore in Dune

⁉️ TRIVIA IN
NEW YORK 💪🤼

Arnold wanted an actor's name and liked the name of a comedian already in the film, Arnold Stang, so we see him credited as Arnold Strong "Mr. Universe". Arnold had recently won that bodybuilding competition.

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970 #HerculesInNewYork

He's not as hard to understand as I recalled. #monsterdon

@ramsey ugh, 'Time Travel plots' #Monsterdon

Why does every batman movie start with his origin story? #monsterdon

@LuluHelle I'm howling with laughter while I'm watching.

#HerculesReturns

FAQ OFF!!!
#Monsterdon #HerculesReturns

Three idiots keep finding a series of strong men by accident.
Somehow they made a comedy dub of a movie that was already part comedy and against all odds it works as a good comedy.
#Monsterdon #HerculesReturns

@allanb That was awesome. 😆
#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

Samson is Scottish? AHAHAHAHA
#Monsterdon #HerculesReturns

This is from the 90s and Australia, so I just know we're gonna hit a few jokes that makes us really go "oof movie no!" but this is legit funny so far.
#Monsterdon #HerculesReturns

@MichaelKlamerus accurate

#Monsterdon

@MichaelKlamerus amazing 😂

I'm not sure if that's a positive or negative

#Monsterdon

"What does that man think he's doing with his hand on my Labia."
This is gonna be the dumbest movie I've seen tonight. And after Hercules in NY that is a big feat.
#Monsterdon #HerculesReturns

Manos the cape of fate as the grand vizier?
#Monsterdon #HerculesReturns

Big thanks to @Taweret for this slice of the late 60s. It *was* fun, so some truth in the film's advertising.

We had smoking. We had coffee - in an automat, even! We had shirtless bodybuilders, clean and jerk action, and flexing pecs. We had cliche gangsters. We had a guy in a bear suit. We had a chariot-and-car chase.

And best of all, the sauerkraut joined the hot dog.

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970

@moira New York is about to get a lot gayer for him though, so there's that #Monsterdon

@crowbriarhexe 'Sokay, Pretzie's delicious baked goods now cost $30 each. #Monsterdon

I didn't know that the Gyro Captain from Mad Max 2 eventually dropped his Australian accent and ended up working with Ricky Gervais.

#Monsterdon #HerculesReturns

Yep. Tall guy is Bruce Spence.
And maybe the short guy is very very short.
#Monsterdon #HerculesReturns

Sweet and dopey and ultimately melancholy. Definitely a palate cleanser from Communion. Thanks @Taweret, @Cherizilla and @JoeWynne for all the fun. #Monsterdon

@Lazarou Which is a shame, since he did fundamentally seem like a nice person. A little weaselly, but nice.

#monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

@allanb Yeah it was annoyingly close though... I missed out by not watching the dubbed version

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

🦖 MONSTERDON

Need more Monsterdon? We get it.

🏃 Right now you can head over to another movie at https://miru.miyaku.media for part 2 of a double feature.

🗓️ Next week, follow #MonsterdonAlert to see a poll where we vote on the next film. It's a weekly battle against the wisdom of crowds.

😢 Missed it and want to watch later?
@combatwombat will post a link for a replay at your leisure. We recommend watching it at work.

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970 #HerculesInNewYork

When there's more artistry in the cinematography of the framing device for the spoof over-dub than in the entirety of the preceding movie.

#Monsterdon #HerculesReturns

Ugh, missed the hashtag.

And #monsterdon ended as it began, with a woman screaming on a plane.

I enjoyed that far more than I had any right too.

Even though Pretzy and Herc didn't kiss.

At least Tarzan got his sauerkraut.

Thank you all for your toots, and thank you as always to @Taweret for hosting.

@Lazarou Ah, that's why I couldn't see it. lol #Monsterdon #HerculesinNewYork 💪🏾🎞️ 🍿

Thanks y'all, that was fun once again.

#monsterdon

I'm calling the ring powder a magical item

#monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

Hercules in New York was very entertaining. It didn't take itself seriously, and I like that.

As always, thanks to @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for the bingo card, @JoeWynne for the drink recipe and trivia, @ryan for the live stream, @paco for data analysis at https://gallery.don.monster, @combatwombat for the replay, and all of you for making it awesome!

#Monsterdon

That's a wrap!

Playing spot the (thin) references to the Labours of Hercules was kinda fun, though.

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970

Let’s never do that again.

#Monsterdon

Ok, that was #Monsterdon for #Canberra on Monday 27 April. I may write a thing about it later.

But now, lunch and maybe some more #RisingOfTheShieldHero

#Monsterdon 💪 🗡️⚡ 🏙️ 🗽🐻 🐎𓌝😬

the horsies were good!!

Thanks @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for bingo, @JoeWynne for trivia and most of all, all you delightful #Monsterdonians for making it fun!

MIRU dot MIYAKU dot MEDIA after-part starting now!!??!!!

#monsterdon

@rallias Rabbi Zeus? #Monsterdon

Bingo!

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou It was a puckish satire.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon and so Hercules, Samson, Atlas, Merlin, Superman, and Tom Bombadil saved the day

Leave me. I need time to think upon what I have learned from Hercules in New York

#monsterdon
#HerculesInNewYork

Well, I laughed a lot! Thanks and goodnight, Monster people. #monsterdon

So that was incredibly silly! In kind of a fun way? But the riffing helped a lot. I don't think I could have taken that on solo.

Also gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Goodnight, #monsterdon! See y'all next week!

Mount Olympus has a lot of traffic noise. #monsterdon

I've seen #KungFuSat flicks that made more sense than... whatever this was.

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970

#Monsterdon
#HerculesInNewYork

It ended stupidly, as it of course had to. It was this film's destiny.

That was terrible.

Thanks @Taweret , for the pain of never-ending bazoukis. Dear God. Thanks every one else. I think I'm going to listen to the radio and eat an apple.

Are we done? Please tell me we're done... #Monsterdon. Thanks for the distraction, or whatever that was. It was fun in how bad it was, but man, come on guys, let's get something actually worth watching...

Okay that was a fun film. #monsterdon

And Zeus fucked off into the ocean!

Well, that was weird. Thanks as always @Tawaret@timeloop.cafe !

#monsterdon

So Zeus came back as a Hasidic Jew? #Monsterdon #HerculesinNewYork 💪🏾🎞️ 🍿

I enjoyed that more than at least eight other Arnold Schwarzenegger movies.

#monsterdon

Hasidic Zeus heads to New York for vacation #Monsterdon

Well then. :blobcat_coffee: #Monsterdon

🦖MONSTERDON Goodbye!

I would not have been able to stay with tonight's movie without the treatment by you wits in the Real-Time Film Analysis Squad! Thank you everyone for the rescue!

❤️ And thank you @Taweret for hosting! Tonight we did it Greek Style (mostly) and I'm enjoying the afterglow.

🅱️ and thanks @cherizilla for the Bingo card! My favorite: "Something Furry". We got a furry!

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970 #HerculesInNewYork

Pretzi gets a series as a half-way house for bored greek gods wanting a bagel.

#monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

The end. Wow. Just wow.

#monsterdon #hercules

Ok, so I've ended up late to #Monsterdon and watching it after the fact and one thing that's really throwing me for a loop... Why are they just randomly switching names between the original Greek names for some and then the Roman renames for some others? And, putting that aside, who the heck just... goes along with people arbitrarily renaming them?

and pretzi fucked off…to an apple?

I mean I didn’t see meaningful symbolism coming. this was classy denouement. they did pretzi right.

#monsterdon
#HerculesInNewYork

How soon we forget the

Bears Of Unusual Stride

#Monsterdon #BOUS

And so they fucked off to Mount Olympus.

Thanks @Taweret for hosting!

#Monsterdon

Mister LaForge, engage reflective montage!

#Monsterdon
#HerculesInNewYork
#UseTheDeflectorDishItAlwaysWorks

Awww, I'm never gonna forget him neither, Pretzi! :blobheartcat: And, now, everyone in New York knows too!

And now Zeus is off to have sex with all those New Yorkers too!

Thanks so much for coming to #monsterdon ! Massive thanks to @Taweret for running the show each and every week.

Special thanks to @cherizilla for the bingo cards, @JoeWynne for the trivia, @ryan for the optional stream, and absolutely everyone for coming!

See you next week for.... whatever insanity we're subject to.

Pretzel’s gonna be ok. He’s gonna eat an apple

#Monsterdon

If they had just had Hercules wrestler or fight every weirdo in New York this movie woulda been better

#Monsterdon

This is what pushed Pretzi to become the Son of Sam. #monsterdon

Well it would have been less noisy if they had the budget to not film in public.

#monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970

"i think i'll eat an apple" would have been the perfect line to end that movie on

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
#HerculesInNewYork

I think I'll eat an apple..

YOURE BREAKING PRETZI'S LITTLE HEART
YOURE THE REAL VILLAIN OF THIS MOVIE
#Monsterdon

You'll never be rid of that bouzouki accompaniment, Pretzi. #Monsterdon #HerculesNYC1970

You know how to whistle, don't you Pretzie? #Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

I don't know what Pretzi's whining about, he's still got that $20k from the mobsters. #Monsterdon

don't worry, Pretzi, one day you'll learn to love again.

#monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970

Pretzi has accepted Hercules as his personal radio frequency savior. #Monsterdon

Their visit to the Empire State Building completes my #Monsterdonbingo #Monsterdon

Every sound you make is out of line, Stang

#Monsterdon

Herc on the radio sounds too much like the dream in Prince of Darkness. *shiver*
#Monsterdon #HINY

Herc's like: "I'll see you IN HELL"

#monsterdon

Pretzi like, I lose more men that way :/ #Monsterdon

His best friend left without saying goodbye!

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

Hercules died on the way back to his home planet. #monsterdon

@sean
Reservoir Gods is a better name than Jason and the Argonauts. 😆

#Monsterdon

Meanwhile, Hercules contacts Orson by mistake.

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

Wait now they are sightseeing

#monsterdon

So what is the full list of the Twelve Labours of Monsterdon?

1. Hercules in New York
2. Vampires on Bikini Beach
3. Communion
4.
5.
etc

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

There's your ✅ Empire State Building and ✅ Hudson River, players! #monsterdon

This whole movie feels like it was written for Rick Moranis, and they had to settle for for Arnold Strong.

#monsterdon

@bryanhowell Wait doesn't Samson die.
