Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen
Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Benedito Dias Rodrigues I really love this kind of movie,even agreeing with mostly IMDb's reviewers about this sequel,l enjoy every minute,Ferrigno is really a bad actor as showed in Hulk,all special effects are outrageous funny,but the girls light up the scream,in final the producers used a footage from George Pal's Atlantis the Lost Continent,at least they shooting in several old Roman ruins along the picture,so bad and so delightful....the old FX tricks is a shame and laughable,but everyone has to admit this fully expected!!! Resume: First watch: 2017 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 5
FlashCallahan Hercules returns once again after Golan Globus had a few extra quid knocking about and were still convinced that Ferrigno would soon rival Stallone and Schwarzenegger as the greatest eighties action hero.So this time Hercules has to find the seven bolts of Lightning that belong to Zeus, before something a little untoward happens to the gods and save the world from a plethora of really bad special effects.So the film begins as a bit of a catch up from the last movie, presumably serving purpose for those who couldn't be bothered to finish the first film.And then after about ten minutes if this, it's back to Ferrigno and his dubbed voice, fighting with men dressed as carpets, and the bloke from the first one coming back from the dead to wreak more bad acting among the Greek gods.It's rubbish for sure, an absolute stinker of a film, but Cannon have some guts to make a sequel to an absolute cesspit of a film, and not just that, to include half of the first films 'highlights' in the opening credits.The writing is awful, with lines like 'get rid of yourself' inducing laughter rather than shock.But when you see the Cannon name when a film begins, you should know what to expect.A Shlockfest of the highest order.Worth seeing, so you know that people were paid to get this to the public.
Bezenby In yet another brain-frying exercise in special effects, glistening pecs, and men without kecks, Lou Ferrigno must this time track down seven thunderbolts that have been stolen from Zeus by Hera and some of her buddies, but don't try thinking about the plot because I tried that and am not sure of my kid's names any longer. Hmm. Shame.What's not a shame is Luigi Cozzi letting loose that crazy imagination of his in and epic avalanche of insane cosmology. Want nearly every scene in the film full of those cartoony eighties effects? Then this is your film (and so is the first one too).After Herc has pummeled quite a few weird monsters into submission, I was kind of worried that he had by that point only thrown one thing into space, but luckily for me Luigi set the entire last act in space! Also, the madness continued until my wife asked "Why is Godzilla fighting King Kong in space?" Words cannot convey that scene. This one stars Venantino Venantini (City of the Living Dead, Seven Deaths in the Cats eye - check out his crazy wig!), William Berger (Dial Help, Strike Commando), Claudio Cassineli (Mountain of the Cannibal God, What have they Done to Your daughters), Margit Newton (Zombie Creeping Flesh, The Final Executioner) and Maria Rosaria Ommagio (Nightmare City, The Cop in Blue Jeans).You don't need gore or boobs for a good Italian film, if this film had that, the world would truly explode or perhaps just fly about the places like it does in this film.
Movie Buff If you are in the mood for an old fashion cheese adventure, then why not Hercules 2?Many people stated that Lou Ferrigno acted badly, yet everyone failed to notice that they are not even using his voice for the movie. They dubbed in someone else for his voice.It also seems as if they may have dubbed in other characters voices too. If you pay close attention, you can see the audio is a bit off.There is a lot of action and older special effects in this movie. There are many different characters and adversaries.And hey, at least it's widescreen. :-)
