HERCULES (1983)

Director: Luigi Cozzi (a.k.a. Lewis Coates)
Starring: Lou Ferrigno, Sybil Danning, Brad Harris, William Berger, Gianni Garko

This 80s version of Hercules as purveyed by Italian shlock master Cozzi is a piece of bad movie heaven. As the titular character (pun intended) former Mr Universe and Incredible Hulk Lou flexes his pectorals and lifts up a lot of heavy stuff while the supporting cast romps about in the campest costumes you’ve ever seen. Lots of heavy duty dubbing and cheesy special effects. Lou battles a range of exotic opponents including a giant locust made of Meccano, a kung fu yeti and stock footage of a bear. Sybil Danning finally has a co-star whose boobs are bigger than hers.
