Although these films were produced in Italy in the mid-eighties and might seem a little silly and juvenile, they are still quite fun and the color and costuming make up for the occasional sub-par special effects. Director/Writer Louis Coates (Luiggi Cozzi) also created a famous piece, "Starcrash" with Caroline Munro. He doesn't have exorbitant budgets but I believe the man really tries to make fun pictures with a definite Italian style and energy. I enjoyed both Hercules films and I recommend them.

The Hercules movies are a mix of the main hero in adventure and fighting along with some Sci-fi type effects and monsters. Some of the monsters and effects are goofy, but it also made it fun for me to watch. Ferrigno is a great pick for both Hercules and Sinbad. Sinbad was good for some of the battles, including with the Chinese soldier of fortune who I think did amazing in the fights. Plenty of plot holes in here, but I've liked this one since I was a kid.

The Hercules double feature is a blast and exactly what I was looking for. Both features have gorgeous colors and the acting by all the characters is over the top. I’m very happy with the product and it’s money well spent, two movies for the price of one movie at the theater. Can’t beat that !!!

People who have zero understanding of the Fantasy/Sword & Sandal genre will likely give these 80's gems a bad rating. But of the countless movies of the kind that crowded video store shelves back in the 80's, "Hercules" was one of the few that is highly watchable today. Lou Ferrigno is a great Hercules, and what greater villain than Sybil Danning can there be in a movie like "Hercules?" This is an eye popping spectacle of color and imagination. Presenting the mythical creatures like the Hydra, as robotic machines, was something new and very creative. I'm sure the Space/Sci-Fi angle was heavily influenced by the success of the "Star Wars" films of the day. I feel a bit sad for kids growing up today, because the current offerings are flat and soulless compared to these movies.
