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.

Rated: 1.5/5

Early (dubbed) Arnold is a low budget oddity.

Definitely not a masterpiece and it is evident they weren't trying very hard, but you know what? If you want a fun escape from the real world, I recommend watching this movie. Makes me smile just thinking about it.

Very cheesy and low budget but surprisingly fun. Poor acting, Roman not Greek themes and music. Mixing myths, Hebrew, Roman and Greek. I knew many of those locations sadly now all gone.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

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.
