Peplum and Sandals always has been my guilty pleasure pictures, nobody did it better than the Italians ever, this turn the bulky Brad Harris embodies the might hero from ancient Greek, everything begins when Hercules headed to a kingdom whereof knew the old King, now ruled by his daughter Cinidia (Mara Berni) on arrival Hercules is received as honor by the gorgeous Queen, however Hercules realizes that much thing gonna change since his last visit, the wise counselors no longer were there, asking for their whereabouts the Queen gave a shallow explanation about a possible retirement on overseas.
Also Hercules figures out that a strong wall has been building surround the city, lift up by slavery which such outrageous thing never occurred when the King was alive, he saw some whispers of dissatisfaction of the citizen on extreme poverty as well, worst a strong rumors of a possible uprising over the newest advisers lead by the bleak and evil Menisto (Serge Gainsbourgh) who rules by a heavy hands over the handled and forbearing Queen, thru a spy inside the palace the eye-candy Daria (Brigitte Corey) whom provides valuable info for the rebels lead by her own father, seeing such misery and uniquity Hercules enters side by side with the bravery people in this bloody endeavor.
I've the self-called "Original" DVD come out on Brazil, due it hasn't the renewed the copyrights it caught on public domain, so they released it in a wash out copy, barely can see through the poor footage, who came to help me anyhow, the friend of all times Youtube, I've found an almost restored print, pretty decent, it gave me a complete and utter upgrade living up my garbage copy.
