Short description
Hercules is sent from Mount Olympus to modern-day Manhattan, where he takes up professional wrestling before getting mixed up with a gang of mobsters.
What's left behind the scenes
- In the film, Arnold uses a pseudonym: instead of the surname “Schwarzenegger,” he used the surname “Strong” (Strong), as the producers considered his real surname too difficult.
- The names featured in the film, “Zeus,” “Nemesis,” and “Atlas” are of ancient Greek origin, while “Hercules,” “Pluto,” “Mercury,” and “Juno” are of ancient Roman origin (their Greek counterparts being “Heracles,” “Hades,” “Hermes,” and “Hera”).
- Initially, Schwarzenegger's character was dubbed over due to his strong Austrian accent. Later, when the actor achieved great popularity, the original audio track was released.
- Arnold Schwarzenegger himself considers this film so terrible that he even suggested to US federal agencies that it be used to torture criminals.
- Arnold Schwarzenegger's first role in a film.
- During the organization of the film's production, Joe Weider, known to all as the “Champions” trainer, recommended young Arnold Schwarzenegger to the filmmakers. When asked if he had any acting experience, Joe misled them, telling them that Arnold had brilliantly played Hamlet in London. This is how Schwarzenegger got his first role in a movie.
