Arnold Schwarzenegger's first ever screen performance is
one to be expunged from the CV and never spoken of again.
In this dim comedy, Hercules (Schwarzenegger with a dubbed
accent) visits modern day New York and becomes involved with gamblers, much to the chagrin of Zeus and the other Greek gods.
It's practically another spin on Tarzan, except it's so
terrible that it's really not worth watching. Unless, of course, you really like bad movies.
