aka The New Adventures of Hercules
A sequel to Hercules (1983), with Lou Ferrigno once again playing the strongman. It starts out remarkably similar to the first film (and I don't just mean the reused footage), before the hero is called upon to recover Zeus' missing Thunderbolts; there's seven of them in all, which the big Z needs to keep the planets aligned. If Hercules fails, the moon will crash into the Earth.
The bolts are hidden inside the bellies of fierce beasts, which Hercules punches his way through in a lively manner, while the viewer is assailed by cheap overlays and more of those wonderful FX - much, much more!
The questing hero is joined by two women, Glaucia and Urania (Sonia Viviani and Milly Carlucci, respectively). And what's this? King Minos, too! Damn!
It's utter nonsense, but it's also tremendous, if you like this kind of thing.
