Silly entertaining nonsense
20 November 2022
Kirk Morris is the Greek strongman, Iloosh Khoshabe is the Biblical strongman, and historians yell "what the hey."

Hercules and Ulysses are hunting a sea monster which has been eating the people of Ithaca. They are shipwrecked with a few crew members. Somehow they land in Judea (use your GPS next time), where Samson is hiding out from the Philistines. After Hercules chokes out a lion, he is mistaken for Samson. Meanwhile, Samson mistakes Hercules and his crew for Philistine spies. The rest of the Greeks are being held by the King of the Philistines, who tells Hercules he must deliver Samson ... or else. This sets up the inevitable clash between the two musclemen. After a few initial punches, Hercules puts Samson in an airplane spin and tosses him. Samson counters with a hip toss to take down the Greek. Hercules shoots the full nelson on Samson, who breaks it, but the Greek quickly goes for an arm bar. Samson swats him away. Then both men manage to bend a metal pole around each other. Finally, they realize they should join forces and fight the Philistines. The two manage to wipe out around one million bad guys. Then the Argo shows up and rescues the Greeks, and Samson heads back to his land for a haircut.

Morris is adequate as Hercules. He has the physique, and manages to pose quite often, usually with his arms apart from his sides and his fists clenched. Khoshabe is ok as Samson, and inexplicably always seems to have an entire arsenal of weapons at his disposal. I have no idea why the Ulysses character is in this, because he is pretty useless. Maybe Aristotle wasn't available. Liana Orfei is good as Delilah, who develops the hots for Hercules, then Samson. If you don't know how that will eventually turn out, consult your Bible.
