Viewing Notes
Movie 1
This movie kicked off B-Fest 2017 and is 10x better in that setting than viewing alone. As with most opening films for this 24 hour marathon of “bad” movies the audience was so loud the audio was drowned out. It clearly didn’t matter as the onscreen activities were enough to keep the crowd going. For a truly awful movie this was the best way to watch it and a great start to B-Fest. Kinda amazing to have *two* Hercules films with legendary bodybuilders that fight a bear.
Can’t give this the super low score it deserves bc there is a something about that makes it quaint. Plus filmed on location in NYC. Plus Arnold. Seeing him as Hercules criticize the Hercules movie poster (probably on 42nd St) is worth it alone.
