    • Trivia
      To help Arnold Schwarzenegger get the role, his agent said he had years of "stage" experience, implying theater. But in fact, Schwarzenegger had only appeared on bodybuilding stages.
    • Goofs
      A mix of the Greek and the Roman names for Gods are used in the film. In the film's finale, both the Greek god Atlas (the only person holding the sky up over the earth) and Samson, who is in fact a Biblical character, are called upon to help Hercules.

    • Alternate versions
      In the original theatrical version, and older VHS versions, Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice is dubbed over by another actor. The DVD version released by Trimark Entertainment has both the original audio track, and a track with Schwarzenegger's real voice (the track also used for the newer VHS versions). In all versions, the voice of Hercules on the radio at the end is of the dub actor.

    "How dare you strike Hercules"

    If I feel down, all I need to do is think of Arnie fighting the grizzly bear in Hercules in New York and it cracks me up. The grizzly bear is actually just some big guy wearing a Halloween costume, he even moves like a human. But thats not the silliest scene. Arnold also fights a group of sailors with a plank and throws them in the sea, the sound effects and horrible choreography in that scene is hilarious. I've got the version of this movie with Arnies real voice, and just hearing that makes this movie worth getting. But Arnold is not the worst actor in this movie, his partner, Arnold Stang is much worse. The Mafia is even this movie, well, three guys...played by actors who probably auditioned for The Godfather but didn't make it. Yeeeaaahhhh....

    The "brilliant" theme song in this movie is played about 500 times.

    I would give this movie a one, but it made me laugh...so I guess it deserves a 2. Hoo-Ya.
