Interesting but low grade

Hmmm....for those of you who have never seen this film,be warned.This can in no way ever be called a great movie.It was made in 1969 entirely on location in New York as a kind of spoof of the sword and sandal movies of the early sixties.Arnold Schwarzenegger was only 22 years old when he made this and to be fair his performance (considering he had no experience whatsoever as an actor)is not at all bad.The movie itself is some kind of late sixties American humour thing that sometimes works,sometimes does'nt.Interesting if you like seeing Arnold at his bodybuilding best or you are fascinated by New York in the late sixties,otherwise avoid.

This film was great - so funny! I was in stitches from start to finish. The acting and whole plot line is awful but it's so bad its brilliant. A must-see for any arnie as you get to see him in pants quite alot!

This film was probably the single most hilarious viewing experience of my life. I agree with the reviewer below. The scene where Hercules wrestles the bear alone is worth buying this movie. This movie... it just goes beyond terrible and out the other side into this wonderful place where it hurts to laugh and bears throw punches as opposed to actually try to maul the person they're attacking.
Low budget cinema at it's ultimate best.
A hero rises in new york...

After watching this film i was mesmerised by its ingenious amazingness. The special effects are also really well done, i jumped up in shock as id never seen such a realistic looking bear. Furthermore, the acting in this film is of a standard way above most 'normal' films. Arnie delivers his lines with real emotion and conviction, and his side-kick delivers the comic relief with such subtle brilliance. This film is a joy to watch from start to finish, and propably my number one most enjoyable film with Arnold in it.
Suitable for Arnold fans

This movie shows the awesome body of Arnold. Althought not in his best shape, it reveals his huge size: a 57 inches chest.
The movie is filmed in old style, but it is a good at story telling. The soundtrack is average and picture quality will not let you disappoint, we must give credit to it because of the age of this film.
