Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis was the pilot for a TV series titled "Hercules", that never materialized. The series would have Hercules (Gordon Scott) master of the ship Olympia, along with the philosopher Diogenes (Paul Stevens), returning the young Ulysses (Mart Hulswit) to Thebes. Each episode would have the ship stopping at various locations where they would face challenges and adventures. The producers were planning to recruit US actors familiar to American TV viewers, especially actors who were already in Europe working on other projects. This was Scott's last appearance in a peplum, as he moved on to its replacement genre, the spaghetti western.

Featured review
See it for the monster
Not a great movie, this was (as has been pointed out) a pilot for an unsold television series (produced by Joseph E. Levine, who distributed the original Steve Reeves HERCULES) based on the adventures of Hercules. I remembering looking forward to this after seeing a magazine article featuring Carlo Rambaldi's sea monster. In truth, the monster is the only thing worth watching in the show. It's well crafted but badly used. In a few shots it looks very convincing, in others like a big mechanical puppet pointlessly waving its claws around. Still worth checking out for pre-CGI monster fans and Gordon Scott makes a solid Hercules as usual.
