Hercules in New York

“See Him Topple Two Ton Newspaper Rolls! See Him Toss Tough Men Like Toothpicks!”

Zeus (Ernest Graves) sends Hercules (Arnold Schwarzenegger) down from Mount Olympus to modern-day Manhattan, where he takes up professional wrestling and falls in with a gang of mobsters. Arthur Allan Seidelman shot the whole thing on location in New York, on a budget of $300,000. Hercules finds one friend in Pretzie (Arnold Stang), a fast-talking local who shows him around and tries to keep him out of trouble.
