Got to at least see this film ONCE

This film is bad, bad, BAD
The plot, the props, the stunts, the action sequences are all chronic in there absolute patheticness.
The acting is even worse, and Arnies voice is dubbed.
By gosh, if you had to introduce Arnie into the movie world, couldn't the producer and director at least have ATTEMPTED to make it reasonable?!?!

Having said this, if you're an Arnie fan, you may well find this highly amusing nostalgia. If there is ANY benifit in this rediculous flick, is that you may get a great laugh out of it, and may even want the DVD so you get a good laugh with your friends.

This movie was done when Arnie was current in the world record book as the "most perfectly developed man in human history". (Quote: Guiness book of records)

I gave it 1/10. But I would be tempted to give it more if you are turned on by sentimental starting points and/or movies for now famous movie stars

While this is a bad movie, that's also the point of it. I found it very entertaining, simply because it's so bad. It's also funny to see a 23 year old Arnold stutter out his lines.

I dont know if you have seen a company that sells DVDs in discount bookshops called Hollywood DVD they sell old films that are rubbish but they did sell Hercules in New York with Arnold's voice restored so its slighty better, otherthen that I agree with your comments on the film, if you want to view a crap film that is pretty funny like out again on the Hollywood DVD (which cost about £1.49) a 1991 film which is 3 short stories called WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE
