Hercules & The Captive Women
Apr. 5th, 2014 03:51 pmNot being able to add entries to LJ at work has severely bummed me out. I can still read and comment when time permits, but all new entries will have to be done at night. Darn.
For the flight home from Arizona, I downloaded a couple of movies to my iPad. One was "Elvira's Movie Macabre" where she skewered "Hercules and The Captive Women" starring British beefcake Reg Park in the title role.
The movie is just as bad as you would expect of the 1960's Italian Hercules movies, but no one can deny that Herc is fantastic eye candy. Bearded and muscled with a smile that could remove underwear from a distance, Reg Park certainly lifted and hauled his way through this movie and kept me incredibly entertained. The rest of the flick is full of things to be mocked and Elvira does it well.
Of course, there are more than a few errors in filming, the most noticeable by me was Herc's magic chest hair that vanished and appeared several times in succession as he struggled to haul an escaping ship back to shore by the anchor chain.
Smooth-chested Hercules
Hairy-chested Hercules
It's obvious that the close-ups were filmed long after the original beach scene, but I certainly am not complaining. Personally, I think they should have left him hairy throughout the movie. It wasn't a bad way to get through a three-hour flight.
