Arnold Schwarzenegger, in his first starring role in a feature film, plays Hercules, the legendary hero from ancient Greek mythology. Many other body building champions have assumed the role in several low budget European productions but none can compare to... Full review

This is one of the worst movies of all time. The four-hundred-and-something witless souls who awarded this a 10 should be permanently banned from voting.Forget that it was made on a shoe-string budget, and that at one point Arnold fights... Full review

To me, it doesn't matter if things are intentionally or unintentionally funny. Intentions just don't matter that much in the real world. Hitler might have intended to make the world a better place, I don't think his intentions matter when... Full review

If I feel down, all I need to do is think of Arnie fighting the grizzly bear in Hercules in New York and it cracks me up. The grizzly bear is actually just some big guy wearing a Halloween costume,... Full review

That scene is by far the funniest yet horrible scene in film legacy. Arnold is in a chariot with his date when somehow a bear is on the loose in Central Park. For no apparent reason he runs off to... Full review

This may on one hand actually well be the worst movie I've seen, on regular movie basis that is, because on the other hand it's also the funniest movie I've stumbled across since I saw "Monty Python and the quest... Full review

Hercules in New York is quite possibly one of the funniest films ever made; it is also one of the worst. Arnold stomps from scene to scene with the same vacant expression, occasionally flickering his eyes. However, he also creates... Full review

I don't know if it wasn't meant to be but this movie is hilarious. How can you downgrade a movie that offers Arnold in his true form, no facial expressions, an accent that can hardly be understood, and muscles on... Full review

Arnold Schwarzenegger 's feature debut was in this zany live-action cartoon that's so awful it's downright brilliant.
The first, and most hilarious, is Arnold's ORIGINAL dialogue track.

You'd think that with a name like Nemesis, they'd have picked someone for the role that was either insanely beautiful and seriously evil, or made it more like someone in a dark robe that you never get to see their face.
It's Arnold Schwartzenegger in his first movie role playing none other than the mighty Hercules.
