If you haven't seen Arnies first film, made when he was 21, you haven't lived.
Playing the titular hero, Hercules descends on New York and that's about it. But the fun is watching inept direction, some truly awful acting, a terrible script and on existent production values.
Pitched as a comedy, I didn't laugh once such is the puerile nature of this film. The low budget is obvious (such as the scenes supposedly set in Olympus complete with the sound of New York traffic in background due to the fact they filmed it in Central Park) . And there are two versions of the film, one with Arnold's real voice and one with it dubbed into an American accent.
This film is a real curio, like a prototype Crocodile Dundee tale of a fish out of water, but missing that films quality. However its still entertaining but harmless kiddie friendly trash and worth a watch.
Oh, and if Arnold Stang, who plays Pretzie, sounds familiar thats because he's the voice of Top Cat from television.
Enjoy yourself.
