Description:
Here's a double dose of mighty muscles courtesy of champion bodybuilder Reg Park as Hercules. In his debut, Hercules and the Captive Women, Hercules and Androcles (Ettore Manni), the King of Tebes, journey to the island of Atlantis where the evil queen (Fay Spain) has hatched a diabolical plan for world domination. Filmed on a particularly lavish scale, this was the only Hercules film photographed in 70mm; this stunning widescreen presentation preserves its sumptuous spectacle for your home viewing enjoyment. Then Reg and Ettore return in Hercules, Prisoner of Evil, helmed by famed Euro-horror director Antonio Margheriti, who combines elements of the sword-and-sorcery and horror genres. An evil sorceress seduces Hercules and gives him a magic potion which turns him into a terrifying monster bent on death and destruction!

HERCULES AND THE CAPTIVE WOMEN (also known as HERCULES CONQUERS ATLANTIS), is one of the best Sword & Sandal films ever made. It's big, colorful and very fun. If Frederico Fellini had directed an action film, it would look like this.
The film was way ahead of its time, regarding the psychedelic colors and imagery, the massive sets, the surreal action. It looks and feels like a big summer blockbuster made 47 years ago (it was made in 1961 but released in 1963 in North America). The film ... Read More

This is another surreal Hercules movie from Italy, this time with Reg Park as the slab of oily beef mixed up in an incoherent plot and cheesy effects. Herc ends up on Atlantis where he saves a young woman from being sacrificed. However, the girl is the queen's daughter and is immediately sent back out to be sacrificed again. This time Herc's son, who stowed away on Herc's ship, saves the girl. Herc spends some time with the curvy queen who wants to keep him in the palace so he doesn't find out what's ... Read More

What can be said about this movie. Ive seen this more than any Hercules Movie. This is one of 2 Hercules movies that I can really recommend. The other being Hercules in the Haunted World (also with Reg Park)
These were made in the 1960s where Italy was doing movies with the Gods, more or less rewriting the myths. First there was Hercules, then Maciste,Samson,Taur/Thor, the Son of Hercules Movies (some of those arent bad either)etc
Now on to this movie
Hercules & the Captive Women has ... Read More

I think I know how they wrote this "gem". They got about 50 writers and had each one write one sentence. After they cycled thru all the writers, the first one started over again with his next sentence. They continued the process until the proper script length was attained. Then they just stopped. At no point did any writer have any contact with any other writer, nor did he see the work of the writers before him. It was all a grand experiment. Thats the only way they could have come up with such a disjointed, ... Read More
