Details

• Release Year: 1963
• Genre: Adventure, Fantasy, Science-Fiction
• Plot: When a fiery meteor-like object crashes into the ancient country of Samar, Moon Men set up headquarters deep inside 'The Mountain of Death' and begin conquering the Earth by demanding hundreds of human sacrifices who are pushed kicking and screaming into a glowing hole in the side of the mountain. Sanctioning 'this wanton slaughter' is the evil sexpot Queen Samara who's secretly in cahoots with the Moon Men after being promised she'll be 'The Most Powerful Woman on Earth' once their dead queen returns to life and an apocalyptic disaster kills all life on the planet. And it just so happens that the dead Moon Queen is also a dead ringer for the pure-in-heart Princess Billis, Queen Samara's step-sister, whose blood must be given to the Moon Queen when the planets align and everyone is 'under the evil of Uranus.' Fortunately, their dastardly plans are spoiled by Hercules, who not only tackles the Moon Men but also fights a gorilla-like beast with hilariously gigantic fangs, battles the Moon Men's 'huge deformed rock-like creatures,' and destroys the Queen's spike-covered V-shaped torture machine. But - uh oh - when Herc isn't looking, Samara slips him an aphrodisiac that turns the muscular superhero into her own personal love slave....; ; A fun, colorful sci-fi sword & sandal fantasy, HERCULES AGAINST THE MOON MEN (1964) is one of the most enjoyably wild and wacky of the italian Muscleman Movies, and is presented here in gorgeous widescreen 'Cromoscope'! So, 'C'mon, men, let's storm the palace!'; ; Plus: When the villagers of a scottish town believe an innocent woman is the reincarnation of a witch once burned at the stake, Maciste sets things right by going to Hell - literally! - in the 75-minute 1963 feature pitting Kirk Morris against The Witch's Curse!
