#Monsterdon

Look I'm just gonna say it, this is the weirdest Energizer commercial I've ever seen.

#monsterdon #Hercules1985

@jonny Hammer space, I guess

#Monsterdon #Hercules1985

@bryanhowell @rebeld Yes and take this herb. Yes AND then there is seahorse cave. YES AND then there’s like psychic echoes!

#monsterdon #theadventuresofhercules1985

the story of the first Anti-Inflammatory.

#monsterdon

It’s not MY herb officer… it belongs to some little people

#monsterdon #theadventuresofhercules1985

Okay to be fair to the creators of this movie, Greek legend WAS a lot of people just randomly babbling at other people to do random shit

#monsterdon

Daedalus is back! Now in stock footage form.
#Monsterdon #Hercules1985

I hear you distant background cuckoo. And I appreciate your contribution to this movie.
#Monsterdon #Hercules1985

The Herc Witch Project.

#monsterdon

Oh hey, bingo acquired!

This movie is kind of a bingo bonanza TBH

#Monsterdon #Hercules1985 #MonsterdonBingo

"do you like my paper-mache skeletons??"

#monsterdon

It's the work of a fiend! A fiend who is super into dolls!

#monsterdon #Hercules1985

Science is more powerful than Gods? That is an interesting and mildly upsetting bit of world building.
#Monsterdon #Hercules1985

@strangefour Roy Harryhousing #Monsterdon

okay, that is some NEAT creature, well done

#monsterdon

THAT STATUE BLINKED

#monsterdon

Oh Herc has read mythology books too. Neat he explained Medusa's sister to the audience.
#Monsterdon #Hercules1985

He didn’t even launch any of them into space #Monsterdon

Men made of glowing Kryptonite. WTF is going on?
#Monsterdon #Hercules1985

through the columns is the parking garage, they came in through the ground level

#Monsterdon

Is he used to statues dancing and singing?

#monsterdon #Hercules1985

Lou today(74 YOA). #monsterdon

The Slime people are easily startled, but they’ll soon be back… and in greater numbers!

#monsterdon #theadventuresofhercules1985

"I played the 3rd Slime Person in Hercules II"

"That was you!?!"

#Monsterdon

inside the forbidding cave of the forbidden valley! nothing bad can come of this!

#monsterdon

Oh this is cheaper and more cartoony. And it was kinda cheap last time. Biff Bam Pow.
#Monsterdon #Hercules1985

"the slime people" it's us!

#monsterdon

spooky scary skeleton! 🦴

#monsterdon

Yours! Boom suck it!

#monsterdon #Hercules1985

Buy a hercules and get a white horse at no extra charge. It's the year of the horse special going on now. Don't miss it! #monsterdon

I do _not_ like whatever this flicker is. at all.

#monsterdon

hahahaha, yeet-i

#monsterdon

(Suburban Sasquatch noises)

#Monsterdon

Ewoks? In this forest? At this time of year?
#Monsterdon #Hercules1985

@moira #monsterdon

From the Horse-Head Nebula, of course.

Those are some serious space travel sound effects.

#monsterdon #Hercules1985

Pray to Mothra little people.

#Monsterdon

On Friday, #TheLastDriveIn showed The Last Horror Film (1982), which featured like 1/3rd of the cast of Luigi Cozzi’s Starcrash: Caroline Munro, Joe Spinell, and Judd Hamilton.

I never thought I’d say this, but I would not mind rewatching Starcrash now.

#Monsterdon #Hercules1985

Omaggio, Pamaggio, Demaggio. This cast list is too cliched Italian.
#Monsterdon #Hercules1985

Remember that time you pushed Africa and Europe apart? Good times…

#monsterdon #theadventuresofhercules1985

Why is the mech bug bird thing with the upsetting voice a focal point of this recap intro?
#Monsterdon #Hercules1985

Lets redo that creation myth again!

#Monsterdon

So that might be film from an actual evacuation? woah that's freaking me out... I think I'ma dip... Arrivederci....

#monsterdon #WrongGods

Oh actual real ship wrecks and deaths. Oh joy... I hate Cozzi.
#Monsterdon #Godzilla1977

The photos of Luigi Cozzi’s Profondo Rosso store on Google Maps are really something. I guess it’s part store, part museum.

#Monsterdon #Hercules1985

by the way here was my #MonsterdonBingo card for THE ADVENTURES OF HERCULES. I can probably mark a few more of these but eh, I don't see any justifiable bingo that matches my personal watching experience

#Monsterdon

Well, this is already both surreal and in extremely bad taste. #Monsterdon

@jonny hahahahaha amazing

#Monsterdon #Hercules1985

@catzilla I never did trust the moon, disappointed but feels good to have that confirmed.

#monsterdon

And Hercules and Urania fuck off into the sea of stars.

#Hercules1985 had some cool visuals and monsters. A lot of crazy happened but I wish the movie didn't feel the need to disrespect the audience with all that exposition and repetition. I did like the way the seven thunderbolt quest creates a framework for us have a good time with the Hercules mythos.

A very silly movie and a fun #monsterdon !

@paco I mean, wow

https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/sammezzano-the-most-magnificent-castle-you-cannot-see

#monsterdon

@paco Apparently they shot part of it in a wild-looking Tuscan castle? I didn't recognize any of it

#monsterdon

Never before have there been more WTF's per minute

I love it

Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everyone for posting! On to Italian Godzilla on @miru

#Monsterdon #Hercules1985

thank you @Taweret for putting up with our voting choices!

#monsterdon

@SocialCommentaryBot I mean, is that steroids or something else?

#Monsterdon

Right well that was...
about 90 minutes long
#monsterdon

@GeoffWozniak why not both?

#Monsterdon

So much pew pew #monsterdon #hercules1985

@strangefour "You fool, Hercules. Did you really thinking that hurling a light-representation of me into the void would actually kill me?!?"

#Monsterdon #Hercules1985

lol "Cannon Films"

a mark of Quality

#Monsterdon

I do really like the theme's use of silent measures

it's not sophisticated scoring, but they don't over-use that bit of the theme so it's genuinely novel to hear it

I just kinda like when composition uses silence effectively

#Monsterdon

Excellent distraction but please, no more Herculeses, mmmkay?
#Monsterdon

Okay, well. I guess that ended. So before you leave, you know what time it is:

Was THE ADVENTURES OF HERCULES (1985) the WORST #Monsterdon movie of the year?

I'm hanging in there for a post-credits teaser. Surely there is one.

#Monsterdon #AdventuresOfHercules1985

This was a movie. I'm not sure how to rate it in terms of good/bad. Anyway, see you next week?

#Monsterdon #Hercules1985

@ohiofi If Minos’s “science” is any indication, it’s about as correct as we’re gonna get.

#Monsterdon

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

Hercules sparkly fadeout! Roll credits!

#Monsterdon #AdventuresOfHercules1985

Next up, Hercules III, "Hercules kills again - in space!" #monsterdon

WHERE IS MY GODS DAMNED MINOTAUR!?!
#Monsterdon #Hercules1985

@bryanhowell yeah, it's called the bermuda triangle. didn't you know?

#Monsterdon

"Urania ... patron of Astrology"

#Monsterdon #AdventuresOfHercules1985

And then Hercules fucked off into space, forever and ever, amen

#monsterdon

@kshernandez SCIENCE!

#Monsterdon

and that's how Uranus was born

#Monsterdon

Aaaargh! The light on the Earth and the Moon is coming from completely different directions!

#Monsterdon #AdventuresOfHercules1985

"Hercules you idiot you pushed Earth into the orbit of Pluto!"

#monsterdon #Hercules1985

In the not to distant past. last Sunday BC~
There was a guy named Herc. Not to different from you or me~
#Monsterdon #Hercules1985

Okay wait where exactly is Hercules standing right now? And isn't HIS gravity fucking with the tides if he's that big?

#monsterdon #Hercules1985

didn't we have this size sequence last time?

#monsterdon

I forget why she had to kill her own daughter? Zeus' right?

#Monsterdon

God just have Herc punch the fucking moon back into space already

#Monsterdon

"Mother, give me the kiss of death"

such poetry

#Monsterdon

The 'pew pew' noises kind of detract from the tragedy

#monsterdon

So are Zeus and Urania siblings then?
These Greek gods....such sluts...

#Monsterdon

CAN

YOU FEEL

THE LOVE

TONIGHT

#monsterdon

Minos was a victim of liberal cancel culture. Those liberals hate science.
#monsterdon

The real thunderbolts were the children we made along the way.

#Monsterdon

My theory that "the 7 thunderbolts are Zeus's passwords' is gaining weight

#Monsterdon

Minos? CANCELLED.

#monsterdon

I just want the movie to be over so I can go brush my teeth at this point

#monsterdon

YEEET HIM INTO SPACE!!!

#Monsterdon

Why did Hercules turn into king kong?

#Monsterdon #Hercules1985

It's a #monsterdon miracle!

GORILLA MODE!

#Monsterdon

loving the dinosaur move

#Monsterdon

Herc onnnn me

#Monsterdon

Rotoscoped Lou Ferringo is a better actor
