This is a very bad film--there's no denying this. Imagine having a young Arnold Schwarzenegger (whose command of English language was MUCH worse than when he did his movies in the 1980s) playing a Greek god who comes to New York for a few laughs! Now the concept COULD have really worked--if the leading human being hadn't been barely cognizant of the English language. And, had the writers not been chimpanzees, the story could take been turned into a cute little tongue-in-cheek tale. But, in the end, through total incompetence, it's a dreadful movie. Simply, for people who like watching stupid films and laughing at them, then they are in for a care for with HERCULES IN NEW YORK!
The picture begins in a very minimalistic Mount Olympian headquarters for the gods. Including the cost of the pillars, I recall the set was created for near $47.l. Well, in this sketchy looking layout, the gods are all continuing around when Hercules announces he'southward bored and wants to become back to Earth. Zeus forbids him and they contend. Ultimately, Zeus tosses him out of the sky onto the earth and from here on Hercules has a lot of adventures. For the most part, Schwarzenegger plays the role similar he'south a lovable moron...goofy and looking a bit like Jethro Bodine when he first went to the big urban center! Among the heady(?) adventures he has are various wrasslin' matches, fighting an escaped bear (a guy in 1 of the worst bear suits I've ever seen) and hanging out with Arnold Stang--a man who has somehow learned to talk entirely through his nose. I'd tell you more about the story, only actually don't think it's all that important. Suffice to say, Jethro runs around New York (often with no shirt) and gets into wacky trouble.
As far as the inquiry for the writers goes, I think they'd take been better off if they'd read a few comic books or asked the average high school student for advice. When it comes to knowing even the basic information about the Greek gods, they often got is completely wrong--mixing Greek and Roman names for the gods over again and again (for example, Juno, Venus and Hercules are Roman names and Zeus and Nemesis are Greek) equally well as having little understanding (or care) nearly the gods themselves (Mercury was Not Hercules' brother, Pluto was NOT the Devil nor did he alive in Hell, etc., etc.). In addition, at the end of the motion picture, Samson (from the Onetime Testament) and Atlas (whose chore it is to concord the Earth) come to the rescue!
There are as well two versions of this film. Traditionally, the version most have seen has a dubbed voice for Arnold, as he'due south occasionally barely comprehensible. But, this is also really airheaded as the voice is very robotic and obviously non his. This is the case with the version posted on IMDb (though, oddly, this version likewise lacks music and many basic sound effects). For those wanting to see and hear Arnold, the DVD has the original restored voice--simply won't give you lot the option to hear either one. Additionally, at the end, when he talks to Stang from the radio, information technology's Non Arnold'due south voice but that of the robot-dude.
Overall, the film was a shoddy and silly mess. Only there was a sure goofiness that brand information technology fun to watch despite its many, many obvious shortcomings. Not a good film at all, only fun to watch if you demand a express joy.
