@CactuarJoe It is amazing how on many technical levels that was a movie and competently made. But by every measure of quality or taste that was so garbage.

This music is so happy and triumphant. Itβs pissing me off.
Cool. I'm going to go cancel my MGM+ subscription now.
That was... a movie...

I'm just glad they let all the horsies graze on set the whole time.
Thanks to @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for bingo, @JoeWynne for trivia, and all you #Monsterdonians for making it fun!
wigs: sexy wigs #monsterdon
That was definitely one of the Top 50 movies made about Hercules in Italy in 1985. Maybe even Top 45.
Very Pinth-Garnellian...
First among gaffers. #Monsterdon
And so Hercules fucked off (again) into the sea of stars never to be seen agai.. wait lemme check... yeah, ok, never to be seen again. Thanks to the usual crew and good night! #monsterdon
It was so bad, so good, so bad, also good, and yet, BAD! π
Thanks for the laughs everyone!
Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!
I missed it ππΌ π
Wow. I'm pretty sure we've watched movies that made less sense, but I'm not bringing up any at the moment. Thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting. Have a great week out there Beautiful Mutants! #Monsterdon #Hercules1985

That constellation has a lot of stars! #Monsterdon
Eva Robbins, call me. #Monsterdon
And so they fucked off into space. My only complaint is that Herc should have yeeted more stuff. #Monsterdon
The movie just keeps on Doing Things at us. We want to go home. #Monsterdon
I should think that an enormous hand touching down on Earth and giving it a shove would cause much tectonic movement and destruction.
@bryanhowell yeah, it's called the bermuda triangle. didn't you know?
WILL SHINE IN THE HEAVENS UNTIL THE END OF TIME RIGHT NEXT TO ULTRA PEEPEE, THE GOD HAMSTER OF
They really wanted to tap the
King Kong/Godzilla demographic.
And the gods fucked off into space.
You just know that if this had an ancient Greek original, in it Mega-Herakles would knock the Moon away with his giantβ¦club.
So, Zeus, you're gonna give up taking on the form of a goose and seducing earth women?
.........no?
"Urania ... patron of Astrology"
That constellation was a bit on the nose⦠#Monsterdon
Man the kiss of death is really loud and cartoonish sounding. #monsterdon
Urania constellation!
βSorry to everyone in Des Moines, crushed by Hercβs palm just nowβ #Monsterdon
There go the tides. We didn't need them, I guess.

um, that's not really a good outcome you guys
Oh a posthumous promotion. That'll improve her pension. #Monsterdon
WHY IS THE MOON SPINNING
"Shit, I lost my thunderbolts. Let's send Hercules on an epic quest."
"Oh, the moon is going to smash into the earth. Shrug. I'm sure the humans have got this."
Yeah yeah, that's Herc, once again caught betweeen two giganti-
Still a tad too close. The tides are going nuts! #Monsterdon
#monsterdon meanwhile back in the not so distant future
That not the correct orbit for⦠you know what never mind
PLANETARY YEET #Monsterdon
And so the crew of Moonbase Alpha were catapulted across space. #Monsterdon

i think he just yeeted the earth and the moon in opposite directions?
@rallias The irony being that despite having big feet, the steroids actually shrunk his package considerably.
I thought it was Atlas who...never mind
Do NOT want to see Hercules βgrowβ π± #Monsterdon
i think i learned about this part at the planetarium when i was a kid
Hercules puts his big handprints all over the Earth and Moon
#monsterdon
#Hercules1985
Make my Hercules grow!
How prescient. Just 40 years later and chaos has risen.
Store-brand Asura's Wrath #monsterdon
Since when has Zeus ever cared about mankind (other than the bits he wanted to boink that is)?
Gravity is no match for space muscles!
I'll take Bad Celestial Mechanics for $600, Alex
THAT'S RIGHT I'M PISSING ON THE MOON
Due to the effects of solar rays, Ultra-Ferrigno only has two minutes in which to defeat the moon, AND TIME IS RUNNING OUT!!
"Hercules!"
"what now?"
"Block the Moon!"
"ffs"
#monsterdon
Go Go Power Hercules! #Monsterdon
Can you imagine how big his feet must be if he could literally move the moon?
sAvE mAnKiiiiiiiiiiNd #Monsterdon
Olympus was *on* the Moon in the first movie, right?
"Block the Moon"
"Stop The Earth"
"Save Mankind"
"Get eggs from shop"
Hercules, you should just nope outta there. Zeus doesnβt really love you. He just keeps using you for his party games.
Earth hurtling
Moon hurtling
Hercules polishing his fingernails, waiting for them to get cloesr
So we're just taking that cliff bit and bringing it up to 11?
GROW HERCULES GROW π«£ #monsterdon #hercules1985

This part was just thown in
#Monsterdon
This is like the fourth time something in this movies seemed very reminiscent of Power Rangers.
Extra=large Hercules will solve it!! Yeet!! Yeet like you've never yeeted before!!!!
The moon is 8.1e19 tons. Hercules can bench it. I believe in you Hercules.
I put my Grow Hercules in a glass of water overnight but the dog ate him
Rita Repulso redux! #Monsterdon #Hercules1985
Herc went from oiled to laquered. #monsterdon
Smoke on the water. π΅(Or maybe footage from Atlantis) #Monsterdon
I have some serious physics questions here. #monsterdon
This whole movie is just the gods handing Herc successively bigger and more broken superpowers. #Monsterdon
So, um, we aren't finished yet?
#monsterdon
At least now Glassary and Geranium can be galpals in eternity and neither has to get stuck being Hercβs love interest #Monsterdon
but Atlantis sank????
#monsterdon "Only our fear can defeat us."
eh, FDR said it better.
Oh we've still got time for an EMBIGGENING
#monsterdon Wait, so Power Rangers stole more than one thing from this movie?
Atlantis did what now?
Atlantis had Rita Repulas powers?
#Monsterdon #Hercules1985
HUGE BUFF MAN ALARM
for the twentieth time or so in the past five minutes FUCKITY WHAT
'I'm HUGE!' Again!'
Zeus: "After ten thousand years I'm finally free!"
#Monsterdon #Hercules1985
WHY IS BIG HER SUDDENLY GETTING THE RITA REPULSA GIMMICK.
so... we're embiggening herc again? so this is a thing, is it.
"Grow Hercules! Grow!" NOT LIKE THAT! #Monsterdon #Hercules1985
"Howard Hughes discussed the film in his book Cinema Italiano... the review noted the visuals and film score would 'induce migraines'" accurate

Oh gosh, I forgot about the Moon collision course plot thread, and I thought the movie had too
So Hercules is a Grower, not a Shower.
Good to know. #Monsterdon
"Grow Hercules, Grow!"
Hercules is taking on Atlas's job as an intern. #Monsterdon
HERC IS A JERK
Yeah, but things didn't work out well for Atlantis. #Monsterdon
