046. The Adventures of Hercules II

046. (01 Feb) The Adventures of Hercules II (1985, Luigi Cozzi) 21



You know you're in for a treat when a movie's first 8 minutes are opening credits over clips from the previous film. This is an identical exercise in camp as Hercules, only with a slightly smaller budget. Full of colorful set pieces, bad acting and a ridiculous plot, this kind of exploitation is hard to resist when it works out to be so campy. The highlight is a blatant rip-off of Clash of the Titans' iconic Medusa scene, copying the same effects while looking infinitely worse.
