- The Bar Brawl at the beginning has a few lip-curling moments:
- As a group of guys gang up on Androcles:
Androcles: Take your hands off me, I'm the King Of Thebes!
[Pause; they resume pounding on him]- Hercules calmly eats in the middle of the chaos, with no one even approaching him (except the waiter, to bring food).
- Herc finally puts an end to the fight with one hand (pushing over a battering ram) and a calm "That's enough, boys."
- After it's all over, King Androcles and Herc's son Hylus emerge — cautiously — from behind an overturned table.
- Hylus, who is Dressing as the Enemy and enacting a Trojan Prisoner trick, attempts to free the Damsel in Distress:Hylus: [whispering] Don't cry out, Ismene; you're safe!
Ismene: [not lowering her voice in the slightest] Hylus!
Hylus: Be quiet, stupid!
