* BattleAtopThePoles: In the pilot movie, cadets at Chiron's academy are actually trained how to fight this way. Hercules starts training after hours, as well, after Iolas beats him in their first sparring session. Chiron even encourages him to train blindfolded. The final battle of the film homages ''Film/IronMonkey'' - complete with a three-way battle - with Ares fighting Hercules and Iolas on poles that are slowly burning. For added heft, Hercules is temporarily blinded by a burning pole to the face, and Iolas has to direct his foot movements while standing on his shoulders. They eventually knock Ares into the inferno; but, since Ares is immortal, this just makes him a very angry [[ManOnFire god on fire]]. Hercules and Iolas eventually defeat him by knocking him into the fire ''again'' and dropping a carved stone effigy of Ares's own head (which Ares had built), on top of him. This causes Ares to retreat to Mount Olympus.

Both are equal in the looks department, but Kora is the "all work and no play" sibling that actively keeps the likes of Hercules and Jason at arm's length, whereas Cleo is fun-loving, outgoing, and flirtatious. Their relationship was also strained by Kora resenting her never being around to help the folks, while Cleo always felt like the inferior sister and acted competitive to compensate.
