Unwatchably bad movie, the kind of movie they could show on a loop to terrorists as psychological torture. Three tough looking ladies are introduced one at a time, then each dances to generic rock music while stripping down to their bikinis. After this, they wrestle and someone wins, I suppose, but I did not make it that far. About a third of the way in, I got the sense that the movie was not going in any direction I cared to follow and hit EJECT.
I love really awful, sleazy movies but this one had no redeeming qualities. It wasn't even offensive, just pointless and dull. Avoid this and watch something with some production values, dialogue and interest.

Sorry, gotta disagree with the people who gave this one bad reviews. Who doesn't love bad dialogue, even worse dubbing and lots of rubber and papier maché monsters? Maybe it was just the print I saw on the Grindhouse channel, but the son of Hercules introduces himself as Maxus using a different dubbed-in voice but a lot of the players keep calling him Maciste which the Closed Captioning translates as Maxus. He is also supposed to be named Germanicus, but I may have missed when they called him that. In a couple of scenes everyone is speaking English while Maciste/Maxus/Germanicus is answering them in Italian using yet another man's voice.
The only element that could have made this even better is if in the long nature shots, we could have seen in the distance people in motorboats or dune buggies.
Yes, this is a silly movie, but catching all the production goofs made it a worthwhile watch.
