YMMV / Hercules (1983)

• Awesome Music: Whatever the film's faults, it cannot be denied that Pino Donaggio's score certainly delivers in the epic department.
• Complete Monster: The wicked princess Adriana begins by helping her father King Minos to usurp Thebes, helping to slaughter temple guards before initiating a brutal conflict across Thebes that leaves countless people dead. Wanting to sacrifice Princess Cassiopeia to Hera, Adriana also tries to drug and rape Hercules when he arrives before trying to murder Cassiopeia.
• Nightmare Fuel: The film includes a low-budget but extremely creepy sequence of a villain's corpse slowly disintegrating into dust, including a trypophobia-inducing stage which looks as if it had no skull. Keep in mind that it's supposedly a kid's movie.
• Quirky Work: This is a movie about Greek mythology with mechanical monsters, bizarre cosmic dreamscapes and bears being thrown into space.
• Signature Scene: Hercules throwing a bear into outer space and the bear turning into the Ursa Major constellation.
