The Big Picture: Hercules Part One

[Tireseas_v1legacy]

Four words that describe this entire movie:

"Just go with it"

 

[Arqus_Zed]

Aw man, talk about blast of the past.

I remember seeing this flick back when I was still watching Beast Wars cartoons... Ah, to be young again.

 

[Random Argument Man]

I want a "Bears in Space" with the Portal 2 core as a t-shirt.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Ohhh so that were the whole Hercule throwing a bear to outer space came from!

Also I knew this adaption of Hercules is going to be WTF material once I saw that glimspe image of a robot centaur.

 

[brazuca]

There is a saying that goes: the proof that paper accepts anything is that I clean my shit with it. Now this was extended to film too.

 

[Soxafloppin]

One of my favourite body builders of all time!, to be honest I could probably watch this film and find it entertaining.

 

[TheLastSamurai14]

Was that a god damned Robot Centaur? IT WAS!?!

What did those guys smoke before this?

Thanks to this though, I now have the Disney's Hercules theme in my head.

I saw that, but was then blown away by the shot of two people walking across the rainbow.

What drug must one take to make something like this? And would the producers of this film let me try some?

 

[Imp_Emissary]

Well. This was a thing....

I remember seeing the whole "throws a bear into space" once a long while ago. I can't believe that's the most "normal" thing that happens.

captcha: beats me

Ok. Is the captcha watching us now or something? Because this isn't the first time it has been somewhat relevant to what we are all talking about. Not just me too either.

 

[Evil Alpaca]

The association of the swords and sandals genre with bored housewives puts the popularity of 300 into a whole new light.

 

[Mailman]

Is this on DVD? I need this for a bad movie night. I have a feeling this is one of those "So bad it's good," movies.

 

[daxterx2005]

Flying mechanical fish....They sure tried to keep it like the legends didnt they?

 

[Veylon]

Oh gods. I remember this thing. This is one of those movies that's breathtakingly awesome, horrifyingly godawful, and so bad it's good all at the same time. This is what schlock looks like when it's been deified.

 

[illas]

To paraphrase Jerry Maguire "you had me at... "and he can throw a bear into space"".

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Hmmmm, Daedalus = sexy Power Rangers villain eh? I like it.

Thanks to this though, I now have the Disney's Hercules theme in my head.

Good for you, I got this one stuck in my head. I can't believe I still remember this crap.


Although this show had the best monster sounds ever!

I remember that show! That little centaur pal of his had the most irritating laugh. I didn't think so at the time, but thinking back on it, ugh.

 

[Hungry Donner]

The second they use "Hercules" over the actual name "Heracles" it lost mythological credibility lol.

I'm fine with "Hercules" as long as they stick to Roman naming conventions and/or a bear is thrown into outer space.

 

[Klitch]

My thoughts upon seeing the title: "Oh, awesome. Disney's Hercules and the Kevin Sorbo series are some of my favorites. Wait, 1983? Then what is he talking about? Oh God...the Lou Ferrigno movie...please God no."

 

[Stabby Joe]

Oh I've seen this piece of "cinema" and it is glorious. Even as a child I was beyond bewildered when robots came into the fray of Greek Mythology.

As a side note, the best of Greek Mythology would still have to be the 1963 Jason and the Argonauts a'la Ray Harryhausen effects.

 

[Richfeet]

Yes!!!

Hey wait a minute bad guy on the moon and they send monsters that grow huges

The greek gods are the ancestor of Rita Repulsa

Yes!! As soon as I the tiny robot figures I made the connection.

 

[Guffe]

Bob oh Bob...
In a case like this you should end with:¨

I'm Bob
and that's half of the big picture...

 

[Augusto Chicas]

why a 2 part episode here? comes off as you not having enough ideas for episodes this year and unlike when you do this with a comic book series or history of something I can just watch the 2 hour movie sometime this week to see what else happens if that's all you are going to talk about.
