Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe soundtrack of the American release ("Hercules and the Captive Women") contains several short passages from the score of Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954), in particular the easily recognizable three-note "Creature theme."
- GoofsNear the end of the film, Hercules swims away from the island to a boat, but when he climbs aboard he is completely dry.
- Alternate versionsFor the Woolner Brothers U.S. release version, under the title "Hercules and the Captive Women", the original score has been replaced by a stock score selected by Gordon Zahler. Zahler used much of the same music he had selected for the U.S. release of Kurt Maetzig's _First Spaceship on Venus (1962)_ as well as portions of the score from Jack Arnold's _Creature From the Black Lagoon (1954)_ .
- ConnectionsEdited into Hercules the Avenger (1965)
Featured review
A nice peplum package that compares favorably with Bava's previous effort.
Here's another Reg Park Hercules movie on a par with Mario Bava's superb earlier film HERCULES IN THE HAUNTED WORLD. Director Cottafavi lacks Bava's visual flair, but serves up enough kitsch atmosphere and set pieces to keep things fun. Park's lunky presence and lunkheaded demeanor make him the perfect foil for the elegantly stiff Fay Spain, as the obligatory beautiful-but-evil empress of Atlantis. Cheesy monsters, a dwarf, bouffant hairdos and some deliberately-dumb, dubbed dialogue all combine to make this top-notch kitsch for peplum afficionados. And, let us repeat, "all hail Uranus!".
