Trivia
Arnold Schwarzenegger was inspired to become a bodybuilder because of Reg Park's performance and physique in this film.

Goofs
Re the above, for the record Pluto's daughter is not called Persephone in the original version, but 'Meiazotide'. Theseus calls her "the child of Pluto and the woman he took from her mother." (spelling and quotations from Talida Barbé's subtitles on the 2019 Kino DVD of the Italian version with English subtitles).

Quotes
[first lines]
Medea: This is Italia, a kingdom city of ancient Greece in an age of myth and legend. It is a time when Olympian gods and demigods rule over the elements of nature and control the destinies of men.

The British Hercules

Definitely one of the better Hercules films with British born bodybuilder Reg Park (the man who trained Arnold Schwarzenegger) a better Hercules than most. Another thing that puts this one above most of the rest is the presence of British villain Christopher Lee, who's about three inches taller than Reg Park.

In this one Hercules literally goes to Hell so that he can retrieve a magical rock thing that will save his girlfriend. From there he battles the usual assortment of monsters against a backdrop of atmospheric sets. This one's good for Halloween or any dark, misty night by the fireplace.
