Hercules in New York (1970)

There is almost nothing to recommend this film. Arnold Schwarzenegger is Hercules, an arrogant demigod who berates his father into sending him to Earth. It is a better fish out of water story than Crocodile Dundee where Hercules is completely baffled by human activities, but still manages to befriend a geeky little man named Pretzie and become a successful professional wrestler. It’s Schwarzenegger’s debut film and it’s obvious. Luckily the role doesn’t expect him to do much more than taking off his shirt and flexing his muscles. Arnold Stang’s Pretzie is the best part of the film as he plays up the sidekick tropes with aplomb.
