Ok ok I like them, well one of these musclemen was Dan Vadis, who? I was curious about just who was this guy. Well I found out

How did this big good looking muscular actor come to this ending?

accidental drug overdose

He died 11 June 1987 in Lancaster, California, United States, in a car in the desert, his death was declared an accidental drug overdose with acute ethanol and heroin-morphine intoxication. He was survived by his wife Sharon Jessup and his son Nick Vadis, known as "Nick V".

Didn't expect to find something like that.

I thought this was going to be about the late 70’s Arnold Schwarzenegger classic, Hercules Goes Bananas. My personal favorite of all the low budget attempts was the mid 80’s Lou Ferigno Hercules. Most disappointing was the Rock’s version. Hercules finally got a big budget and an actor who could speak clearly and they couldn’t do much with it.

You should check out the MST3K riffs from the 90's. They did several Italian Hercules films and they did a great job!
Herc Vs the Moon Men... Herc Unchained... and much much more!

One man's garbage is another man's treasure. I actually liked the Rock's Hercules.

What gets me is while making these movies they seriously don't get how bad they are. Which is why they work, ya can tell they aren't getting it at all. Weird how nobody associated with these flicks.......ya know this pretty much sucks.

The worst ones in my opinion are the one starring Gordon Mitchell, these are really bad,

LOL. I just saw one of his Hercules movies not long ago, maybe it was Hercules the Invincible, I don't remember. But I used to watch them when I was a kid.
