Absolutely, Hercules is the ultimate Lou Ferrigno experience, they tried to imitate the ending of Kubrick's 2001: a space Odyssey and it was hilarious 😂😂
According to TV Tropes, this movie's production started in 1986 and stopped when Cannon went bankrupt. A few months later, the producers (without telling original director Enzo Castellari) hired Luigi Cozzi to finish and edit it. Cozzi inserted the framing device of the mother reading a bedtime story to her kid, in a desperate attempt to tie all the footage together as best he could. The narration itself was written by freelancer Brad Goldberg, whose initial draft was sent straight to recording. Castellari didn't even know the film had been finished in 1989 until he saw it in a video store.
So someone thought it was decent enough to finish but in reality, it still turned into a pile of shit? Or did that person have a lot of respect for Cannon Films and wanted it to be finished?
Jafar (there are many spellings) is a common name and it was also the name of the king's vizier in the 1001 Nights (aka Arabian Nights) where the story of Aladdin came from, though he was not the villain in the original Aladdin story, but was the father of Scheherazade, the woman who tells the 1001 stories, like Aladdin, to the mad King to keep him from killing her on their wedding night. The Disney film named the villain Jafar after the evil vizier "Jaffar" in the 1940 movie "The Thief of Bagdad." Aladdin borrowed other bits, like the carpet, from that movie and added it to the original story, though Thief of Bagdad also took from Aladdin and other 1001 Nights stories. Fun Fact: although it uses distinctly Arabian names and tropes, like Genies, the original Aladdin story was set in China.
I'm from Brazil, raised in the 80s, early 90s. And we were alphabethized with Cannon movies. No joke. Watch lou ferrigno in hercules! Sybil danning in that movie created my puberty.
The 2 Hercules movies both Cannon & entertaing as hell. The Cage 1& 2 with Lou & Reb Brown. This was hilarous that narration is like a bumblefly that buzzes around you & cant swat.
As soon as the lady started a story with the girl laying in bed I thought "Princess Bride". Then a couple minutes later you guys say the same thing. Priceless. Thanks guys for all you do.
@@AlgernonBrosplitzAlthough I absolutely love Suspiria, I think it would qualify for SBIG. Actually, Phenomena, Inferno, Tenebre, any Argento. His films after 1989 are just so bad they're bad.
@@AliceBowie I'm with you but disagree on Tenebrae, that one still genuinely creeps me out every time I watch it. The big one for me is Profondo Rosso - super dope score (always appreciated by the SBIG fam) but everything else is farcical. Especially Daria Nicolodi's acting, I don't know how she got away with it actually, it's that bad.
Lou didn't really talk in his early roles because of being mostly deaf affected the way he spoke. The only early film I know he did in was Pumping Iron. He just received hearing a few years ago when he got implants.
Yeah, there's a nice episode in season 4 of The Incredible Hulk where Lou gets to play a second character (in addition to the Hulk, obviously) and so actually gets to befriend Bill Bixy's David Banner rather than be his alter-ego (and they were close friends in real life too and it was Bill who vouched for Lou to get to do this role too). His character has the same deafness issue as Lou himself so gets to talk about it a bit through the dialogue. That was 1981. It's Lou's fave episode. :)
He trained himself to be pretty damned good at faking it though (meaning he always seemed to work really hard to make it appear like his lips really were shaping the sounds into WORDS, and for people born deaf that’s difficult AF. I always had a HUGE respect for everything Lou accomplished. RIP Legend
Jason, I highly recommend you guys to watch Hercules 1 & 2 and The seven magnificent gladiators. It's a hilarious 80s Italian cheesefest! It's time to revisit Greek mythology with Lou Ferrigno and have a lot of fun instead of torturing yourself with some horrible crap!
@@JasonBrant Not only Hercules is a Cannon film, but it also features a scene of Hercules fighting a bear which ends with Hercules hurling the bear into outer space. It is that awesome
This was indeed an unfinished movie. The initial production shut down when Cannon Films went bankrupt and, several months later, the producers hired another director to finish it.
Okay I KNEW I recognized it! Fun fact, the voice actor who dubbed Lou Ferrigno is Richard Epcar, probably best known as the voice actor who was Batou from the Ghost in the Shell eng dub, one of many voice acting roles he's done over a VERY prolific career.
WOW, this movie never gets better the more you watch it!!!! Hey guys the narrator I believe is the same woman who narrated Silver Bullet with Gary Busey and Cory Haim!!! Really this is just a bad movie, but you gotta love Lou Ferrigno!!! Lou was 6'5 and actually for this movie was slimmed down to be moved ripped. When Lou was competing in body building he was always close to 300 pounds if you can even imagine a human being that muscular??? Good episode guys nice job!!!!
If you want more Ferrigno I would recommend the martial arts film Cage (1989). Not only does it have Ferrigno (Hulk), it has Reb Brown (Captain America), Al Leong and Branscombe Richmond (who I'm sure Jason remembers from the TV series Renegade). Ferrigno really gives it a good try acting wise while Brown is kinda cashing a paycheck.
I met Lou one time. I was getting into an elevator and this big security guy got in my way, but a voice behind him said 'Dude, chill out' and there he was. I was all 'Wow! Youre the effing Hulk!'. He just laughed and said 'Yeah, I know'. Lovely guy. He was absolutely huge.
I saw both if Ferrigno’s “Hercules” movies as a kid. Never saw this one, I don’t even remember that it existed. The mother narrating the story reminds me of 7-Zark-7 from “Battle of the Planets”, the English adaptation of the anime, “Science Ninja Team Gatchaman”, except where 7-Zark-7 was narrating for cut footage, the mother is narrating for footage that was never filmed
I definitely remember seeing this on TV during the summer as a kid. It was on a TV movie showcase type show that was on during the day and showed old and/or crappy movies.
You have to watch the two "Cage" movies starring Lou and Reb Brown. They play Vietnam vets and Lou's character gets brain damage saving Reb... Then they get forced into cage fighting. The first one even has Matthias in it as a fighter! These movies were made for SBIG as they have probably every character actor you have ever seen, including pretty much all the Asian ones, even Leo Fong! Daron McBee is in one of them as well.
The scene where Lou Ferrigno one hand crushed that suit of armors chest was _wild_ . I can't recall another movie where a character showed how strong they were by pancaking someone (armor and all) agaisn't a wall with their bare hand like that. 😂
From Wiki: "The 1989 Italian fantasy adventure film Sinbad of the Seven Seas, directed by Enzo G, Castellari and starring the American actor Lou Ferrigno as Sinbad, is credited as an adaptation of "The Thousand-and-Second Tale of Scheherazade". The movie's plot, however, in which Sinbad searches for five magical gems that are needed to save the world from an evil sorcerer, bears hardly any resemblance to Poe's story." Aladdin was ALSO a tale from "Arabian Nights" which is where the 7 voyages of Sinbad came from. The best part? The source material is about a woman telling her husband a story (like Arabian Nights). But the ending is 100% Poe: "The King soon begins to make it obvious that he is not enjoying Scheherazade's tale. He frequently interrupts the story with outbursts which clearly show that he thinks it is nonsense. Scheherazade, however, usually ignores the King's interruptions and continues with her story. When the King hears about women who think that adding things like camels' humps beneath their backs makes them look beautiful, he cannot stand to listen to the story any longer. The King orders that Scheherazade be put to death and complains that his marriage to her has lasted too long. At her execution, Scheherazade takes some comfort in the fact that she had not finished telling the story of Sinbad's fantastical adventures and the King will now never hear the end of the tale." Watching this movie also made me want to put my wife to death.
I had no idea this was even on Blu-Ray. I absolutely loved this movie as a kid. I absolutely loved it. I have never seen the movie anywhere since the last time I saw it (as a kid) My dad was a body builder, so of course he was a huge fan of Lou Ferrigno and Arnold so obviously we as kids were too.
The actress they got to play the young version of the Amazon Queen was beautiful in that (admittedly absurd) outfit; I'd be surprised if nobody pushed for a photo session of her dressed in that. And it was hilarious how Teagan Clive (evil muscle sorceress) shows up to help the villain only to have the film totally drop that plot point and she lives as a good guy at the end. (And I also love that she immediately criticizes Jafar when she makes her debut).
I can't believe you guys haven't come across Cage yet. That is an absolute MUST Ferrigno movie that came out right after this one. It's an automatic SBIG stamp.
I haven't laughed that much in ages! This was a great episode! Also, Jason is right - the short dude is officially named Coochi.....You know they passed him around on that boat, lol!
For the record, Edgar Allan Poe wrote a tale called "The Thousand-and-Second Tale of Scheherazade". It depicts the 8th and final voyage of Sinbad the Sailor. So yeah. Cannon didn't lie to you.
How have I never heard of this!? This looks so fun~! I absolutely would've adored this as a kid, especially since I think I would now. On the topic of kids ignoring quality, I used to love Warriors of Virtue as a kid. Have you guys done that yet? If not, I recommend XD That Little Coochie bit got me real good every time.
This is what I could get from Wikipedia; It was a real mess. Sinbad of the Seven Seas claims to be based on Edgar Allan Poe's story "The Thousand-and-Second Tale of Scheherazade," though no similarity can be found between its plot and the story. It borrows some elements and characters from the 1940 version of The Thief of Bagdad. The film was made with a largely Italian cast and crew. Like most Italian movies, it was filmed on location without sound equipment and all dialogue and sound effects were dubbed later. Screenwriter Luigi Cozzi was originally going to direct the film back in 1986 but he was replaced at the last minute by the producers with Enzo G. Castellari. Castellari changed Cozzi's script drastically and several million dollars later, wound up submitting three hours of non-releasable footage to the producer, who shelved the whole project. In 1989, Cozzi was hired back to try to fix up the picture via re-editing and shooting additional scenes, the producer spending an additional half million dollars finishing it.
I feel like i did see this on action theatre on a Saturday afternoon either that or HBO. Also he did another one like Seven Gladiators which was a fav of mine.
Something about the movie's Jafar immediately got under my skin (other than the whole 'Rutger Hauer in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert' vibe), and then I realized he's played by italian schlock vet John Steiner, who's worked with Argento, Bava, and Fulci, and whom folks here might remember as the Overlord from Yor, Hunter of the Future. Also, nice nod to the Blind Dead series with the buried horsemen.
Daria Nicolodi (narrator) AND Romano Puppo!! When are you doing Robowar? That movie is awesome, with Reb Brown and Romano Puppo playing an italian Chuck Norris 😂😂
Rope, made of living snakes, is Poe's trade mark. He just hides it very well and that is why we don't see it in his major works but if you read between lines then....

This movie is a great example of why more movies should have two or more directors, each having little to no interaction with each other creatively. We would have such great cinema. Imagine if Neil Breen and Godfrey Ho co-directed a movie. Instant masterpiece!
You came for a Lou Ferrigno movie, and you got an unexpected Edgar Allen Poe history lesson. Of course we all know Edgar Allen Poe for his scenery chewing performance in episode #53, Robo Vampire.
We had no idea Lou Ferrigno was the greatest actor of his generation. What movie of his should we watch next? Hercules?
Absolutely, Hercules is the ultimate Lou Ferrigno experience, they tried to imitate the ending of Kubrick's 2001: a space Odyssey and it was hilarious 😂😂
I've seen a lot of bad movies, but the scene in Hercules when Ferrigno throws the bear into space still makes me laugh like an idiot
Of course he was he was the freaking incredible hulk the bad ass jolly green giant
The 50s Sinbad with the Ray Haryhousen stop animation was a favorite of mine as a kid; that's where I first saw a Sinbad movie adaptation
better than disney, x)

That would explain the horrific narration and... everything else.
@@RWBprototypeYour question can't be for real.
The second Hercules movie with Ferrigno was cobbled together with footage from the first one
Also. Nothing to do with Poe ofc.
The muscle babe was Teagan Clive. The same one who played the 'Terminator' in Alienator.
Haven't seen that one yet, but we'll definitely watch it.
@@JasonBrantRLM had great fun with it so really you should.
is it bad i recognized Teagan Clive from vintage bodybuilder magazines? and not Alienator which is a movie i own on vhs lol

Thought the actor was John Phillip Law at first. Would have been ironic since he played Sinbad in (IMHO) the best film.

I feel like i did see this on action theatre on a Saturday afternoon either that or HBO. Also he did another one like Seven Gladiators which was a fav of mine.
Something about the movie's Jafar immediately got under my skin (other than the whole 'Rutger Hauer in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert' vibe), and then I realized he's played by italian schlock vet John Steiner, who's worked with Argento, Bava, and Fulci, and whom folks here might remember as the Overlord from Yor, Hunter of the Future. Also, nice nod to the Blind Dead series with the buried horsemen.
This was absolutely incredible... My god! 🤣
Lou Ferrigno said that this was one of his favorite movies he ever made. Interesting.
Best Sinbad ever! I loved this movie years ago and I love it still.
I lost it when he started making a rope out of snakes and the one appeared to shake its head "No" when he beckoned it 🤣
Daria Nicolodi (narrator) AND Romano Puppo!! When are you doing Robowar? That movie is awesome, with Reb Brown and Romano Puppo playing an italian Chuck Norris 😂😂
Rope, made of living snakes, is Poe's trade mark. He just hides it very well and that is why we don't see it in his major works but if you read between lines then....
From Wiki: "Screenwriter Luigi Cozzi was originally going to direct the film back in 1986 but he was replaced at the last minute by the producers with Enzo G. Castellari. Castellari changed Cozzi's script drastically and several million dollars later, wound up submitting three hours of non-releasable footage to the producer, who shelved the whole project. In 1989, Cozzi was hired back to try to fix up the picture via re-editing and shooting additional scenes, the producer spending an additional half million dollars finishing it"
This movie is a great example of why more movies should have two or more directors, each having little to no interaction with each other creatively. We would have such great cinema. Imagine if Neil Breen and Godfrey Ho co-directed a movie. Instant masterpiece!
Years ago I saw a boat named Sailbad the Sinner and ever since movies about Sinbad have seemed even sillier.
I've got to watch this movie, I've never seen such double entendre potential.
Sinbad's voice actor sounds like the same guy who voices Bato in Ghost in the Shell
It is
I have seen as a kid, I loved it, still love it. Italian sandals movies rule!!! 😀
I watched the '70s Sinbad movies. Those were really terrific 😅
16:47 almost choked on my coffee, you bastard 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You came for a Lou Ferrigno movie, and you got an unexpected Edgar Allen Poe history lesson.
Of course we all know Edgar Allen Poe for his scenery chewing performance in episode #53, Robo Vampire.
That freaking narration gives me Troll 2 flashbacks
Erin - "They're gonna shoot off into space..." LMAO
The buff woman who doesn't really do anything was also in Armed and Dangerous the John Candy/Eugene Levy comedy. I knew that I recognised her.
