The good-nature giant Typhon steals the show!!

Strongly humor oriented in a Giant clumsy character Typhon when Hercules randomly bumps into him on the road and sets free of the Hera's curse doomed stay for good struck with a large stone at your feet, meanwhile Maecius aware that his brother was killed by Hercules seeking vengeance with your strong army thru Iolaus squeezing him to snitch Hercules whereabouts.

On Arrival in a small village Hercules and Typhon putting in jeopardy the astonished citizens upon the accident-prone visitor, to worsen Hera intervenes to aid Maecius to catch Iolaus and heading forward Hercules, reaching near the village the revengeful Maecius gets another hand from Hera to set free Typhon's wife Echidna the mother of all monster lock up in a cave, thus the showdown is a matter of time.

The highlights goes to Typhon and the eye-candy villager Breanna (Fionna Mogridge) who has a pulpy double air bags that enchants Iolaus for a while, the outcome is too much sugary to my taste, overall a funniest entertainment.

Thanks for reading

Trivia
While filming an action sequence on the Xena crossover episode Prometheus (1995), Michael Hurst broke his arm. Iolaus' injury was therefore written into the script of "Cast a Giant Shadow" and the next few episodes of H:TLJ.

Crazy credits
Neither Typhon nor Echidna were harmed during the production of this motion picture. They went on to lead long and happy lives with their adopted family. However, attempts to reinflate Pylon were unsuccessful.
