“Poetic and outrageous — with numerous nods to Conan the Barbarian”
– Claude Gaillard / Barbarians – A Cinematic History of Conansploitation
“The ex-Incredible Hulk [Ferrigno] is undeniably well cast”
– Leonard Maltin / Leonard Maltin’s Movie & Video Guide
“A huge pile of insanity in a bowlful of weirdness — Makes Conan look realistic and logical”
– Kyle Anderson / Nerdist
“No good will come of detailing how this film’s narrative departs from classical mythology to traffic in baser materials from Superman to Star Wars. Suffice it to say that the results are a tribute to the materials.”
– Lawrence Van Gelder / The New York Times 28.8.1983
“Hercules tells the story of the titular (Lou Ferrigno) battling the wizard Minos (William Berger), who uses ‘science’ in an attempt to take over the world. Hercules must stop him and rescue his princess love in the process. But this is an Italian sword and scorcery movie, made in the 80s, so you know what’s coming! Stop motion creatures/robots, rotoscoped effects, dodgy dubbing and an amazing score from Pino Donaggio!” – Phil Wheat / Nerdly
