Ferrigno makes a excellent Hercules at a time he doesn't push or deliver any talk. He lacks agility in the action sequences (which aren't that exciting to start with) and the sword fights nearly appear to play out in slow film (nevertheless they aren't). And the fellow who dubbed his voice sounds like a rug salesman.
This is probably the most polemical film on the list for it has die-hard followers and equally die-hard detractors. John Boorman's big-budget extravaganza almost King Arthur's in Camelot may be spectacular and loud, merely in the most garish of ways. Millions were spent on great scale production design and set pieces that look [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in a word, fake.
Lou Ferrigno again! This feels like different Hercules</em
With one updated version of Clash of the Titans starring Sam Worthington and Liam Neeson due in theatres in 2010, this is the perfect time to revisit the incomparable eighties when flimsy swords and even flimsier scripts were all the tantrum.
Sinbad of the Seven Seas (1989):
Miles O'Keefe wears the worst blond wig in the history of film pictures. Trevor Howard, who was so stately in Mutiny on the Bounty [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], plays Arthur like a bloodthirsty escapee from a maximum-security jail and overacts shamelessly. Only Sean Connery in his short outward as the magical Green Knight manages whichever real charisma. It's also bad they gave him such a silly costume plastered with paper leaves.
Hercules (1983) and The Adventures of Hercules Hercules II) (1985):
The eighties were truly a Bronze Age for phantom movies. Who could forget the images of Perseus killing Medusa in the incipient Clash of the Titans (1981) alternatively Arnold Schwarzenegger squaring off against James Earl Jones' Thulsa Doom? But success spawns bastard babies and the sword and sorcery genre was not exception.
In Hercules, Ferrigno wars stop-motion automata (?) established at a petticoat Daedalus (??). He wields a fiery sword and throws a bear into orbit. That's right. He actually chucks a grizzly into external space. In the 1985 sequel, Herc slays a stop-motion Medusa that's a dime cache rip-off of Harryhausen's production from Clash of the Titans.
Excalibur (1981):

O'Keefe couldn't perform his direction out of a paper sack. He doesn't look cozy with his knife in the fight scenes and he looks bored while he's supposed to be romantic. His lack of spark is made always the more perceptible when Ronald Lacey and John Rhys-Davies (either veterans of Raiders of the Lost Ark) try to best every additional in the melodramatic meltdown division.
Watch for remarkably over-the-top representations from talented performers favor Patrick Stewart, Helen Mirren and Liam Neeson (his freakout during supper is value the amount of reception alone).
Lou Ferrigno is such a spectacular physical sample in Hercules that you could believe he was the son of Zeus. It's too bad he's harnessed with such an unbelievably rotten screenplay. You know you're in difficulty when the beginning relation includes: "The Gods of Mount Olympus chose the moon as their home."
The Sword of the Valiant (1984):
Any hope of realism is lost with enormous sets namely are both under lit, laved in primary-coloured lights that make the proceedings look like a lofty school stage production [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or strangled with a cloud machine worked crazy. The clumsily directed deed sequences have no tension or excitement and the editing pace surges and brakes like a new driver.
