very
we all know this will be crap.... by Obscura	Aug 8th, 2008 06:19:40 AM
which is a shame cos theres real potential for someone to do a proper clash of the titans style epic, focused on Hercules/Heracles. instead it'll look more like a conana rip off.... they always do.
Conana! by Obscura	Aug 8th, 2008 06:20:05 AM
you heard me. Ahem.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Alexander Nevsky? by rbatty024	Aug 8th, 2008 07:02:30 AM
Your parents have to be awfully pompous to name your child after the hero who defeated the Teutonic Knights during the battle on the ice. It is also the name of my one of my favorite films, with a kick ass score by Prokofiev. It is arguably the greatest film score ever recorded.
The best was Arnie. by Zappary	Aug 8th, 2008 07:11:07 AM
BUT AIH AM HERCHULEES!
Huh... by Zappary	Aug 8th, 2008 07:20:13 AM
I cannot deny the epic logic of your argument!
Steve Reeves is the ONLY Hercules. by EvilWizardGlick	Aug 8th, 2008 07:24:13 AM
No one sings anything about taking in a Kevin Sorbo movie. So let me show you around, maybe play you a sound You look like you're both pretty groovy Or if you want something visual that's not too abysmal We could take in an old Steve Reeves movie.
Kevin Sorbo was a pretty scrawney Hercules by I Dunno	Aug 8th, 2008 07:28:43 AM
I mean I shouldn't talk but then I never tried out for Hercules.

What the fuck! by Marxeffect	Aug 8th, 2008 07:44:08 AM
He looks like a crap Hercules! Plus im not being funny but what kind of Hercules film can you make for 12 mil
EvilWizardGlick: I was thinking the same thing by chrth	Aug 8th, 2008 07:59:45 AM

Who put the glad in gladiator? HERC-U-LEEES! by SpyGuy	Aug 8th, 2008 07:59:57 AM
Sorry, I love that Disney animated flick and couldn't help myself...
I fucking love the Disney Hercules! by Marxeffect	Aug 8th, 2008 08:03:44 AM
One of my favourite animated movies! P.S Sorry about all the F bombs but it is friday!!
No, I agree, I Dunno... by rev_skarekroe	Aug 8th, 2008 08:19:49 AM
...I remember when that show came out I thought "THIS guy is Hecules?" I mean, sure, Sorbo could kick my ass but he's playing freaking HERCULES. This is the Superman of 300 B.C. He should be freaking RIPPED. They should have cast Sorbo as Odysseus/Ulysses. THAT I could buy.
MST3k treated them best by aboriginal	Aug 8th, 2008 08:21:03 AM
All time best send up of the Italian made Hercs. At 12mil ya gotta believe it won't be all different in quality.
whats next.... by emeraldboy	Aug 8th, 2008 08:43:30 AM
xena movie?
12 million= Hercules in Manhattan 2 by George Newman	Aug 8th, 2008 09:16:20 AM
No money to build sets, so take him out of time
That wasn't a real Hercules article. by OBSD	Aug 8th, 2008 09:25:20 AM
It didn't have Amazon links to a thousand unrelated products at the bottom of it.
By the way... by OBSD	Aug 8th, 2008 09:28:51 AM
Did anybody happen to ever see an Australian movie about a guy and his friends that open a movie theater? The first movie they show was a Hercules film, but it had no sound, so he and his friends had to crowd in the projection booth and do the soundtrack for the whole movie. It was really funny in the style of MST3K, and I can never seem to find a copy of it anywhere.
Never mind... by OBSD	Aug 8th, 2008 09:31:07 AM
It's called Hercules Returns. Amazon's got it on VHS for $105.00. They're practically giving them away!
I've got one thing to say. . . by Mutant Leader	Aug 8th, 2008 09:32:58 AM
. . .either put Kevin Sorbo in it or FORGET IT!
it amazes me... by Obscura	Aug 8th, 2008 09:37:38 AM
that people think that Hercules is on the same level as Xena... Xena was a FICTIONAL piece of crap. Hercules is a Greek myth, based on some truth, and goes way beyond that crappy tv show. a real Hecules movie could be great. IT could be like Troy (except good.) You could throw 200 million at a Hercules movie and it would be fantastic. what would be even better would be a series of interlinking films focusing on different heroes in greeky mythology. Greek Myth has basically the same structure as the Marvel universe has now.
Let's not forget the spectacular cartoon from the sixties by Snookeroo	Aug 8th, 2008 10:21:38 AM
Hercules Hero of song and story Hercules Winner of ancient glory Fighting for the right Fighting with his might Wishing he could be in Real animation That's the mighty Hercules! da-da-da-da-da-daaaaaa!
Eisenstein by Philo	Aug 8th, 2008 10:28:36 AM
Alexander Nevsky was without a doubt the best work that Eisenstein ever did - really, just think a Russian John Huston. Just what this guy intends to do with Hercules is... Open to debate.
YES! Prokoviev..Battle on the Ice... by Darth Macchio	Aug 8th, 2008 10:41:38 AM
I freaking love that soundtrack and I love Prokoviev...his Romeo and Juliet (specifically "Montagues & Capulets" is also ass kicking fun). I love those more aggresive classical numbers...even in the midst of love stories! Sergei kicks ass!
by JohnMOZ	Aug 8th, 2008 11:22:09 AM
Gotta say, I met Alexander Nevsky in LA last year and whatever the comparisons to Arnold etc, spend five minutes with him and he'll get you genuinely excited about the projects he's involved with. I'd definitely rate him as a guy who can get things done and his Moscow Heat was fun enough.
you 80's people actually accepted that crap?? by DrPain	Aug 8th, 2008 11:23:06 AM
HA! the 80's sucked. Brought to you by the canon group.
Ah yes, Golan-Globus by Snookeroo	Aug 8th, 2008 11:55:05 AM
The dynamic Duo who gave us such cinematic heights as Ferrigno's Hercules, Superman IV, and Masters of the Universe. And to think, these guys owned the rights to Spider-Man during the 80's. Good times. Good times, indeed.
Hercules Vs Herbie! by Obscura	Aug 8th, 2008 12:19:00 PM
Its the match up we've all wanted to see since the dawn of the letter 'V'.
$12 million? $12 Million!!!! by TheWaqman	Aug 8th, 2008 01:08:34 PM
Thats lower than your average indie film budget nowadays! What the fuck is this shit? Its going to look worse than those shitty Sci-Fi channel movies.
If they make another Goonies movie, they better... by moonlightdrive	Aug 8th, 2008 03:32:16 PM
pray to their gods that it comes out nothing short of excellent. Or a whole world of hurt is gonna come raining down on them.
$12 million? by Second Try	Aug 8th, 2008 03:38:56 PM
Are you sure it isn't $12 Billion?
Joxer the Mighty! by teethgnasher	Aug 8th, 2008 07:00:26 PM
Now, that would be awesome.
Humongoloid Vs Hercules by G100	Aug 9th, 2008 12:26:43 AM
I'd watch that.
Hercules also starred in comic books... by Napoleon Park	Aug 9th, 2008 01:40:23 AM
from Dell, Marvel, Charlton, DC, Topps and Acclaim.
Obscura, did you mean by Napoleon Park	Aug 9th, 2008 01:46:43 AM
Herbie Popnecker or Herbie the Love Bug?
If Hercules has supernatural strength, by Dingbatty	Aug 9th, 2008 03:40:02 AM
why does he need muscles?
Preternatural, I mean. by Dingbatty	Aug 9th, 2008 03:40:18 AM

Lou Ferrigno by DeSandman	Aug 9th, 2008 09:29:29 AM
I liked Lou better when he played Sinbad.
"The MIGHTY Hercules! What a disappointment." by Darkman	Aug 9th, 2008 10:39:40 PM
Does anyone else remember this mid-80s SNL sketch with Bill Murray as a dubbed-over Hercules? Fuckin' hilarious.
