"Lou Ferrigno has the most incredible body in the universe. He is a giant, and is a fantastic Hercules, but Lou - that rug of yours has got to go!!! Toupees are out of style, and detract from your body!!! Your toupee ranks up ther with Strydoms' & Coe's!!!"

"I think Big Louie is fantastic, and I know lots of people gisagree with me because of one simple fact. His acting is really bad, but he does try his best and deserves full credites. Besides, the only reason we watch Hercules is because Lou Ferringo is in it." Arnold

"One of the greatest stories of ancient times totally ruined. I don't know where the screenwriter learned mythology, but he must have flunked. The most obvious is Hercules' love affair with his own great-grandmother - Cassiopeia and it goes downhill from there. The monsters do not even remotely match up - nor do they even parallel the story of Perseus, our hero's grandfather who comes closer to the title character than any other figure. As far as any other problems, I couldn't get past how horribly the story was being massacred. I haven't seen this one in years and I intend to keep it that way." HankyP

Lou is great for gay men, we loved his body!!!! Who cares about plot when he looks so damm good!!"

"I remember when the first of Lou's movies came out, he was parading around the streets of New York (where I live) in a chariot as a promotional stunt.... and, on the news, a dismayed Lou was shown ticketed by the police..!" Murad

"The Steve Reeves Hercules films are still the best. But there's something to be said for big Lou's! Both of these films are quite beautifully filmed, though the ancient Greece feel is just about ruined by those metallic!? monsters and those futuristic laser noises... The ridiculous dialogue is about par for the course. But the 90's jargon Kevin Sorbo spouts on his show is even worse. And Sorbo's shows have more of a Norse feel than Greek! I would rank Sorbo and company dead last. New Zealand is not ancient Greece..." P.B.

"Lou simply personified what Hercles should look like. He had size and looks to make sure he was my type of superhero muscle man. Only one thing - he could have shown more bulge down around the genitals in the movies. I believe Lou was well endowed and it would have made him even sexier to show off his manhood."

"These manage to be even worse than the 1950's sandal epics." Gustavus

"They're good movies - almost psychedelic (particularly the second one with the renegade gods)!" Peter

"Years ago, I watched the Lou Ferrigno version of Hercules; incredibly dumb movie, but quite (unintentionally) funny. One scene includes Herc and Circe the Sorceress trying to figure out how to get off the island they're on, using the broken-down chariot of Apollo. Now, up to here in the movie, a friend of mine had expressed his opinion that the movie doesn't show enough women's breasts. So as the camera moved from Circe's hot body to Hercules's face, this friend of mine shouted, as he had several times before, "No! Don't show the dumb jock! Go back and show her tits!" Well, at this point, Hercules asked Circe, "How are we to use the chariot? The winged horses are lost at Infinity!" or some equally clumsy line of this sort. The friend said, "Let her tits pull the chariot!" I, of course, had to respond. "You know," I said, "I've heard of two chariots pulling abreast before, but never two breasts pulling a chariot." I'm afraid I was laughing at my own joke so hard, the last half didn't come out coherently. Nobody else laughed. Sigh." John George

"Lou Ferrigno is and always will be the best Hercules - his massive physique is incredible. The part where he wraps his huge biceps around a tree and rips it out of the ground is just amazing. I've never seen anything like it." dm

"I'm sure Lou is personally a very nice fellow, but as Hercules??? Oh pleeeeze!! Big bags of bulbous, veiny overinflated, underendowed men just don't do much for me." Kathleen

"I've never seen the 2nd one, but the first one wasn't THAT bad! Sure, the SPFX were'nt that great (but a few scenes are okay and clever, like the bear turning into a constellation after he throws it into deep space) and the effects are remeniscent of 80's Atari games, but the flash, B-movie charm and Lou Ferrigno make it an enjoyable flick. If you see this movie, you shouldn't be looking for Citizen Kane, but a movie to enjoy because of its action, monsters and fantasy spirit (you have to admit, some of the scenes with the guards are pretty cool). Also, about the Razzie awards, come on, Hercules wasn't THAT bad! There HAD to have been worse films in '84 or '85 or whatever, I mean, come on! It's Louie!"

"Lou is simply incredible - his huge biceps are incredible, so massive and so strong, He is the only man who could have portrayed the strongest man in the world - he looks the part - he is a superman and he-man rolled into one. Imagine being enfolded by those huge sexy muscles."

"The worst Hercules films I've ever seen were the ones with Lou Ferrigno - they were SO bad that I can't like them even in an ironic way." Robert

"This muscle dude is awesome. That beard gives this dude some distiction and real man appeal."

"I think the audacity of the Lou Ferrigno enterprise has been seriously underrepresented, historically. Most of the people who've posted here claiming Hercules to be nothing but 'horrendous trash' are the same ones who flock in droves to see nightmarish dung like 'Saving Private Ryan,' a film so laughably bad it could be used as a weapon of psychological warfare. Hercules and its admirable sequel have the courage to be precisely what they intend - outrageous, profoundly entertaining spectacles smart enough to sidestep the sort of grievous formal constraints that bear down on their peers." mdd

"The only movie I've ever walked out of because of it's sheer "terrible-ness" was the Hercules movie starring Lou Ferrigno (I think). I know... what did I expect, but still I can usually eek my way through the worst of 'em but this one - ewww what a stinker!" DaveMcS

"Lou Ferrigno is a great Hercules. If you enjoy the classic Hercules movies, you will enjoy this refreshing take on the old theme. Yes, the special effects are cheesey and the film has a weird 80's feel to it, but Lou's athleticism and charisma shine through those faults. This is not a movie that will be enjoyed by the cynical general public, but this movie is a hit for kids and adults that enjoy movies with great action and an actor with great screen presence."

"I saw "Hercules" several years ago with Lou Ferrigno. The only reason my buds and I stayed past the first 10 minutes of a horribly misdubbed plotless flick was the family in front of us dissing it!! We were rolling in our seats laughing so hard (we had no fear we would be asked to leave because we would have asked for our money back because the movie was so bad)." Travis

"I can't understand how so many people think that Hercules was that bad. When I watch it now, compared to today's standards the SFX look like crap but back then when I was a child they were believable. What mattered to me was that Hercules was being played by Lou Ferrigno and he was in his best shape ever at that time. There will never be another Hercules that comes close to a physique like that."

"The dungeon scene from that movie was the ultimate! But the guards should have forced him to drink the potion!" Neil

"Imagine this: my poor Latin teacher in high school is trying to tell us the story of Hercules and his 12 labors (like we don't know them already). He spots this film at the video store and rents it to show us this "classic" IN CLASS!" Lisa

"Lou Ferrigno was a great hercules and this movie made a lot of homosexuals very excited! They didn't even watch the movie, they only checked out Louie's behind! Lou Ferrigno's Hercules was WAY better than Arnold S.'s Hercules movie! Now that was really a shit movie! At least Louie looked like Hercules! And he rules WAY over pussy assed Kevin Sorbo! That is really no exageration! I even heard that it is now a cult classic! Way to go Lou!"

"The movie has basically EVERYTHING, from battles with men, monsters, wizards and robots to locations on earth, fantasy realms and, yes, the moon. Problem is, the dialogue is BAD and the FX budget is spread VERY thin considering the sheer number of "amazing" sights the script seems to call for." MSTmario

"Lou Ferrigno's got the physique and certainly looks the part, doing such heroic things as swinging his sword about, slaying fierce beasts and claiming his spot as the muscle king of Roman mythology. He just needs to work on his lines. Not just saying them (he needs to do some push-ups for them vocal cords), but choosing better writers. Maybe he should have consulted the guys who wrote the "Conan" movies. But since he was trying to dethrone Arnold as muscleman of choice, maybe that wasn't in the plan. Either way, if you make a Hercules movie, don't get your scripts written by the guys who do the special effects in your movie (especially when they're as fake as these ones are)." George Litman

"Moronic fantasy movie gleefully shreds Greek mythology & is overloaded with poor fx & Lou Farigno's hulking ugliness. We actually get to see him fight a guy in a hairy bear suit. Pathetic excuse for a movie"

"Lou is simply the best - his body is incredible just oozing with muscles. He is incredibly strong and looks like Hercules should look like. His massive biceps and huge chest are unbelievable. He is the one and only Hercules."

"I'd been a fan of 'Herc' flix since childhood - couldn't wait to see Lou's film. What a stinker! Even some of the 'Sons of Hercules' flix with starring non-muscular men were better... the ONLY thing going for Lou's films were his physique - from that standpoint, he was the most convincing. Hercules is SUPPOSED to be big and muscular - hear that Kevin Sorbo?"

"Chill out people. It is JUST A MOVIE, for FANTASY and GOOFYNESS. Lou Ferrigno is ONE HOT DADDY! WOOF! Those pecs, those nipples, that ass, those biceps, that handsome masculine face. YEA BABY! Too bad he wasn't naked, I'd pay ANYTHING for that. Lou,you need to pose totally nude from the front. Do it! Show that AMAZING work of art you got. ALL OF IT!"

"As a lifelong fan of "ancient Greece" type movies, I went to see The Hulk as Hercules when it came to theaters. It left a totally sick, disappointed feeling in my mouth. I wanted to throw up I was so disappointed." MaryAnnBMc

"Lou has got the body, but the voice needs work!!! P.S. I saw Lou on TV recently!!! He needs a new TOUPEE!!!" G. Strydom

"Lou Ferrigno as Hercules is simply awesome. Those muscles - those biceps - wow!!!!! Want to feel them all over!!!! So big, so strong. Unbelievable!"

"Hercules II" is a truly miserable movie. It was made for even less than the original, and has NONE of the B movie charm that the original did." MSTmario

"Lou Ferrigno had an incredibly hot scene in the otherwise completely worthless Hercules 2 in which his fantastic body sinks to the ground after having an electric net ensnare him." MMM9449911

"Hercules II is one of the world's worst films, I've seen B films better than this, B films that looked more like a big budget theatrical feature compared to that piece of shit." KamenRiderBlack

"The reason to see the films are muscles, muscles, and more muscles!"
