Arnold before any acting classes. It will make you want to shoot yourself instead of watching it to the end. If this is all we had to go on before we saw Arnold's newer movies we would have thought for sure he would never make it big. Proof that things can get better. LOL

I came into this movie not expecting a lot, and I'm glad I did

It's very dumb, but you still kind of enjoy watching Arnold run around New York barely speaking English.

I'll stick with the Luigi Cozzi Hercules starring Lou Ferrigno as my go to favourite terribly hilarious Hercules flick. It has spirit, and an insanely gonzo spirit, whereas Hercules in New York is simply a case of a coked-out room of people thinking their premise was anything but super lazy & dull as day-old coffee.

A movie seemingly devoid of second takes, this debut for 22-year-old Arnold Schwarzenegger (née Strong) is a doggerel-filled, painfully unfunny, low-budget comedy set in Midnight Cowboy-era NYC.

Early (dubbed) Arnold is a low budget oddity.
