Hercules (Canon)

 

This was okay- it is not hard to see why it is forgotten. I don't think I wasted my timne

It is an attempt to cash in on Ferringo's fame and physique and a bit of 80s sword and sandal- The BBC made the  Cleopatra's -The last days of Pompeii Mini Series, even Dune and Star wars

There was a lot of exposition in the beginning. I think several minutes of talk 

The producers and writers gender swapped Daedalus- I am not complaining about this I noticed the actress who played the part was costumed in what looked like a  hard plastic bikini bottom. She was there after filmed from the waist up- did the actress complain

Minos and Daedalus who both make an appearance talk about science as a means of making war on the gods

We get some of the lesser know stories about Hercules him-separating Europe from Africa

The King of Africa is not black in this- he could be Berber or Arab. Today he would almost certainly be 

You get a chance to see how strong Ferringo is- a lot of the scenes when he is holding off multiple actors

Alas genuine Minoans went bare breasted. They do seem to have copied the dress
