Hercules In New York **
(First Viewing)

The divine Hercules is bored by his life on mount Olympus and asks father Zeus for a vacation on Earth. His request is denied, but by an accident with one of Zeus' lightning bolts he's thrown into New York. His inexperience with civilization and his arrogance lead into problems - until a college professor's daughter helps him to acclimatize. He starts to like living on earth and wants to stay for longer, even when father Zeus sends Nemesis to punish him.

How did this classic ever slip through the cracks of time? It's a good thing my friend is an avid Schwarzenegger fan at our other location or else I would have never even known of this movies existence. Put simply, it was enjoyable as a C-movie. Arnold Stang was great as the squirrely 'Pretzie' character who's really Hercules only friend on Earth. The film was poorly shot and editted (especially in one scene that's suppose to be Mount Olympus while car horns are still audible in the background).
