Trivia
Lucy Lawless later reappeared in the television series as recurring antagonist Xena, which the character was given her spin-off series Xena: Warrior Princess (1995). Roma Downey was considered for that role, but she ended up acting as Monica in the religious fantasy drama series Touched by an Angel (1994). Coincidentally, Hudson Leick (who was well known as Callisto) appears in two shows. Leick portrayed her role in Xena as Callisto and Touched by an Angel as Celeste in two episodes in 1997.

Quotes
Iolaus: [walking away after first killing the hydra] What was that thing?
Hercules: That's Ania, the day after you marry her.

After Almost Thirty Years, Still a Delightful Adventure

Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) returns home to visit his mother Alcmene (Jennifer Ludlam) and to the wedding of his best friend Iolaus (Michael Hurst). Out of the blue, the villager Pithus (Lloyd Scott) arrives asking for help to Hercules to defeat monsters that are attacking his distant village. Hercules travels with Iolaus to fight the monsters and soon they learn that they are indeed Amazons controlled by the evil Hera.

"Hercules and the Amazon Women" (1994) is still a delightful adventure after almost thirty years. Yesterday I saw this entertaining film again, which is based on mythological gods and demigods, and it has not aged. Even the special effects are still good for a TV movie. Kevin Sorbo is excellent in this role. Unfortunately, these Hercules' films have been only released on VHS in Brazil. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Hércules e as Amazonas" ("Hercules and the Amazons")
