      dave j Co-written and directed by Pietro Francisci starring Steve Reeves as the title character Hercules as he and his bride Lole (Sylva Koscina) and personal friend Ulysses (Gabriele Antonini) returns to his original home of Thebes, only to find that it was not what it used to be. It becomes complicated when Hercules loses his memory as that what the movie spends much of its time on. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review kevin w An evil queen (Sylvia Lopez) has a kind of a thing: she drugs guys without them knowing about it and then she...well, just like Bill Cosby, say no more. And poor Hercules (Steve Reeves) has no idea! Will he forget about his own true love (Sylva Koscina)? Can he escape the, er, steamy kisses of mad desire? Nearly 60 years before the Avengers and muscly guys in tights were already being ironic to your face. Good stuff. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A silly little film starring body builder Steve Reeves in the Hercules Franchise, it was so bad that I actually laughed a few times. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member quite a stretch, not much in the story. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member 69% "I don't care if he's Pluto, I'm going to knock that silly grin off his face."-Hercules (Steve Reeves) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Married to Sylva but bewitched by Sylvia--Steve Reeves Unleashed!!
