FORMAT: DVD
A tyrant has it out for Hercules. He sends a slave girl to seduce and betray the legendary strongman, and she zaps him of his strength by banging him. This allows the king to chain him to the wall in his palace. Tied up and helpless, poor Herc is unable to do anything but watch as an orgy unfolds.
Not that you need a Spoiler Warning for a porno movie that’s over fifty years old, but it ends when Hercules escapes from his chains. He then stabs the king in the neck while he’s sleeping and strangles the girl who betrayed him. I know this is just a crummy skin flick, but you’d at least expect Hercules to give the king a fair shake by fighting him while he was awake. It just seems cowardly for someone so strong to murder his enemy in his sleep, not to mention kill a woman with his bare hands in cold blood.
Anyway, this abysmal porno was shot without synch sound. I only bring it up because the moaning and groaning on the soundtrack is so overdone that it’s often hilarious. In fact, the dubbing is so bad that it rivals the dubbing in an actual Hercules movie. I guess all the money in the budget must’ve gone to slave girl outfits and togas.
Despite what the title would have you believe, there’s nothing remotely erotic going on here. The opening scene is pretty gross. The icky king sits on his throne making disgusting grunting noises while a slave girl gives him head and spits his seed into a wine glass. In fact, there are a lot of spitting scenes in this. What? Did anyone in Ancient Greece know how to swallow?
That wouldn’t have mattered I guess if the stuff leading up to the semen spitting was even remotely sexy. Since it’s anything but, the ladies’ refusal to keep their mouths shut just ends the already dismal scenes on an even lower note. Then again, they didn’t make too many porno versions of Italian peplum heroes, so I guess you have to take what you can get.
