Short description
Hercules, a semi-divine being, squares off against King Minos, who is attempting to use science to gain power and take over the world. With the help of a benevolent sorceress, Circe, Hercules tries to save his beloved Cassiopeia from being sacrificed by Minos, and struggles against laser-breathing creatures and an evil sorceress.
What's left behind the scenes
- Initially, Bruno Mattei was supposed to work on the screenplay, but Cannon Films subsequently asked Luigi Cozzi to rewrite it completely. The reason was that the script written by Mattei simply did not appeal to the producers (as Cozzi himself noted, it was close to pornography). Cozzi completed it in just three weeks, and the studio, seeing such efficiency, offered him to become the director of the film. However, Cozzi needed to meet a very tight deadline, and, as the lead actor Lou Ferrigno was under contract and to avoid a significant increase in his fee, the director, as he himself noted, had to work at a frantic pace.
- At that time, Superman-style films were popular, and producers asked the director if he could make "Hercules" in a similar vein, to which they received the answer that if it was necessary for them, then yes.
