Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Long before the heavens had taken form, there existed an angel-like figure, a goddess, whom
00:00:19the ancients called Empyrea.
00:00:22From within her came the seed of fire and light that was to issue forth all stars, planets
00:00:29and moons.
00:01:29From this great beginning, the planet Earth was formed.
00:01:58Together with its satellite, the moon.
00:02:02Then one day, the gods, the prime movers of the universe, gave life to an earthly creature,
00:02:10the mightiest, the most heroic of all men, Hercules.

00:07:07Hercules.
00:07:37Many honors were bestowed upon Hercules for his deeds on Earth, and he took his rightful
00:07:42place on Olympus from where Zeus, king of the gods, ruled peacefully thanks to his seven
00:07:48mighty thunderbolts.
00:07:54But one day foolish and envious gods stole the seven thunderbolts and unleashed the diabolical
00:08:03forces of evil and chaos.
00:08:34Be quiet, maiden.
00:08:37You disturb the gods.
00:08:43The altar is set.
00:08:46The appointed hour has come.
00:08:54The fires await her silken flanks.
00:08:59To the altar!
00:09:01To the altar!
00:09:04Bind her in her chains.
00:09:07No!
00:09:08No!
00:09:09I've done nothing!
00:09:11Ah!
00:09:12Quiet!
00:09:13Be still!
00:09:24I'm dying!
00:09:26I'm dying!
00:09:29Cry not.
00:09:30It is an honor to be chosen.
00:09:33No!
00:09:34No!
00:09:35The moon is high.
00:09:36We are ready, my dear Antaeus.
00:09:38The city of Thragesta offers you another one of its daughters.
00:09:41No!
00:09:42Don't give me to the fire monster!
00:09:44You're privileged.
00:09:45This is your destiny.
00:09:47You must die so that your people will live on.
00:09:51No!
00:09:52Don't let him take me!
00:09:53He is evil!
00:09:55She is yours, Antaeus!
00:10:08No!
00:10:11No!
00:10:13No!
00:10:15No!
00:10:25No!
00:10:26No!
00:10:27No!
00:10:28No!
00:10:29No!
00:10:30No!
00:10:31No!
00:10:32No!
00:10:33No!
00:10:34No!
00:10:35No!
00:10:36No!
00:10:37No!
00:10:38No!
00:10:39No!
00:10:40No!
00:10:41No!
00:10:42No!
00:10:43No!
00:10:44No!
00:10:45No!
00:10:46No!
00:10:47No!
00:10:48No!
00:10:49No!
00:10:50No!
00:10:51No!
00:10:52No!
00:10:53No!
00:10:55No!
00:11:16Glossia!
00:11:18What is it?
00:11:19Oh, Antaeus, the fire monster.
00:11:23Ilia. Ilia's dead.
00:11:26I was there.
00:11:28The ghoulish fiend swallowed her in his flames,
00:11:31consumed her slowly.
00:11:33Oh, it was horrible.
00:11:36Oh, give him his power.
00:11:41He'll swallow us all, Euryne.
00:11:43Oh, no.
00:11:45One by one.
00:11:50Why do our gods permit it?
00:11:53Why has our clan been chosen for this horror?
00:11:58No, don't blame the gods.
00:12:01You must have faith.
00:12:03Please, be strong.
00:12:05I want to have faith, Euryne.
00:12:07It's difficult, though.
00:12:09I know.
00:12:11I knew you went there. I wanted to stop you.
00:12:13You forget you're our chosen sister.
00:12:16Our fate is in your destiny.
00:12:18Has it revealed itself?
00:12:20No, I think it's too early, my sister.
00:12:23I have only the power to predict, not to prevent.
00:12:27It is said
00:12:30that you shall be the next victim.
00:12:34Ilia had come to me in a dream.
00:12:36I went to her, but it was too late.
00:12:39And now...
00:12:41I'd be willing to die
00:12:43to save all people.
00:12:47But what's the good?
00:12:49It'll only be in vain.
00:12:52He'll consume us
00:12:54like he did Ilia.
00:12:56Antaeus is evil.
00:12:59He must be destroyed.
00:13:01There is a way.
00:13:03What are you saying?
00:13:04That there's a way to destroy him.
00:13:06How?
00:13:07With cunning.
00:13:08I'll go to the little people.
00:13:10Yes, they use cunning to survive.
00:13:12And I'm sure they'll give me the right answer.
00:13:16I'll be back by morning.
00:13:45Little people.
00:13:47Friends of Zeus.
00:13:49Oh, please.
00:13:51Listen to my prayer.
00:14:01We know why you are here, Urania.
00:14:04Terrible things are happening to you.
00:14:06You must be careful.
00:14:08You must be careful.
00:14:10You must be careful.
00:14:12We know why you are here, Urania.
00:14:14Terrible things are happening in the universe.
00:14:16Even the gods have been led astray.
00:14:19Four of them rebelled against Zeus
00:14:21and stole his seven mighty thunderbolts.
00:14:24The secret.
00:14:25The key to all his powers.
00:14:28It is your fate that calls.
00:14:30And your coming here was already planned.
00:14:33The architects of the universe have lost control of the heavenly bodies.
00:14:37Our moon is coming towards us.
00:14:39Your destiny is interwoven in the celestial upheaval.
00:14:43And it will lead you to the one man who can help you.
00:14:47Who is he? Where can I find him?
00:14:49He's the strongest man who has ever walked the earth.
00:14:52A man called Hercules.
00:14:54Hercules is still...
00:14:56Yes, the invincible son of Zeus.
00:14:59It was he who divided the continents.
00:15:02As it was he who had formed the constellations.
00:15:05And who defeated King Minos and his vast empire.
00:15:09Yes, Hercules, the invincible.
00:15:11And yet nothing's been heard from him for ages.
00:15:15They say that Zeus sent him up to the heavens
00:15:18and placed him among the brightest stars.
00:15:20Destiny says it is you who must seek him.
00:15:23Go with Glossia to the Forbidden Valley.
00:15:26That's where you shall meet him.
00:15:28Hercules.
00:15:29Yes, the invincible Hercules.
00:15:36THE FORBIDDEN VALLEY
00:15:55They are crying for Hercules, oh Zeus.
00:15:58And we seem immune to their suffering.
00:16:01I have hesitated.
00:16:03Because man must learn to stand on his own two feet.
00:16:07I blame our own gods if man has failed.
00:16:11There has been wickedness here in Olympus.
00:16:14And I am powerless.
00:16:16The moon is wild.
00:16:18It looms bigger every day as it moves in on its mother planet.
00:16:22The foolish gods who stole my seven thunderbolts
00:16:25are the cause of this disorder.
00:16:27There is no other hope but to summon the greatest warrior ever known.
00:16:31He will stop the rebel gods
00:16:34and recover my seven thunderbolts.
00:16:40Hercules!
00:16:43Hercules!
00:16:45Return to Earth!
00:16:47Retrieve my seven thunderbolts which allow me to maintain order.
00:16:52Make haste, Hercules.
00:16:54Lest the planets destroy themselves and all living things.
00:17:01HERCULES
00:17:31HERCULES
00:18:01HERCULES
00:18:31HERCULES
00:19:01HERCULES
00:19:32HERCULES
00:19:45Hercules is here on Earth
00:19:47and has already converted one of the seven thunderbolts.
00:19:51Should he find all seven, our plans will be shattered.
00:19:55No.
00:19:56The lightning lies in the bellies of masters
00:19:59and they roam in places inaccessible to man.
00:20:02I hope you're right, Hera.
00:20:04Zeus will be destroyed and as for Hercules,
00:20:07someone has waited many years for revenge.
00:20:11Am I right, Flora?
00:20:13I've arranged it all, dear Hera.
00:20:16I've called upon the warrior, Goras.
00:20:20He's ambitious, has few scruples
00:20:23and will consent to any request.
00:20:26The fool seeks the status of a demigod
00:20:29but lacks the gentility.
00:20:32He will serve us well.
00:20:37Flora!
00:20:39Flora!
00:20:57Ah, there you are.
00:21:00First you nearly blind me
00:21:03and then you hide in shadow.
00:21:06Why have you summoned me to such a dreary place?
00:21:10You always wanted to know the secrets of darkness
00:21:14and now your wish is about to be answered.
00:21:18Come.
00:21:26Come.
00:21:46This is...
00:21:51It's the secret tomb of King Minos of Thera.
00:21:53Good for you, Goras.
00:21:55His cursed ashes lie here.
00:21:57But his knowledge and power cannot be imprisoned forever.
00:22:01Release them.
00:22:26Whoa.
00:22:39He's nothing but bones.
00:22:41Of course, but through resurrection he shall rise again.
00:22:45But in order to have life,
00:22:48one must take life.
00:22:50Yours, Flora.
00:22:56Poseidon.
00:23:00Aphrodite.
00:23:04Hera.
00:23:08Minos can now be stirred from his eternal sleep.
00:23:12I have my misgivings, Flora.
00:23:14Minos was always up to mischief and deception.
00:23:17But we've the power to handle him.
00:23:20Flora did well to slay the warrior Goras.
00:23:26Now, the blood of this man
00:23:29will give life back to Minos.
00:23:55Minos.
00:24:26Minos.
00:24:40Who awakens me?
00:24:51It is you three.
00:24:56What do you want, Hera?
00:24:59Zeus has brought Hercules back to life.
00:25:03We need your help. He must be eliminated.
00:25:06And whatever you wish will be yours.
00:25:09Hmm.
00:25:10Now, Minos!
00:25:14You know I've never put much stock on the promises of gods.
00:25:19But it's not often that fulfilling one's obligations
00:25:23can be such pleasure.
00:26:23Oh, help! Help me!
00:26:25Easy. Calm down.
00:26:27I beg you, help me.
00:26:28Calm down, and I shall help you.
00:26:30They thought I was dead,
00:26:32but they took my friend Urania with them.
00:26:34Who took her?
00:26:36The slime people.
00:26:38The slime people.
00:26:40The slime people.
00:26:42The slime people.
00:26:44The slime people.
00:26:46The slime people.
00:26:48The slime people.
00:26:50The slime people.
00:26:52The slime people. They ambushed us.
00:26:54They rise out of the mud and mire and hold you by suction.
00:26:58Where did they go?
00:27:00Through the wild, towards a great mouth of stone.
00:27:04The Forbidden Valley.
00:27:06You should know that this is a very dangerous region.
00:27:19This way.
00:27:22This way.
00:27:38Glacia?
00:27:43Urania.
00:27:47Hercules, I thought you were still...
00:27:49Hurry, there's no time now.
00:27:53Help!
00:28:17Hold on.
00:28:19Good girl.
00:28:22Come on.
00:28:41Quick, inside the stone mouth.
00:28:43They're coming.
00:28:45Inside, inside.
00:28:53Oh, no.
00:29:01What was that?
00:29:03It could be the work of gods. Careful.
00:29:05But the gods always forewarn earthly people.
00:29:08There are evil gods.
00:29:10How can we tell?
00:29:12Don't worry.
00:29:14For now, no one's bothering us.
00:29:16They seemed afraid of this place, and yet they brought you here.
00:29:20They're going to sacrifice me to something.
00:29:23Something that lives in here.
00:29:25The currents change direction at this point.
00:29:29The airflow takes this way.
00:29:31Come, follow me.
00:29:34Where do you... Quiet.
00:29:47Shh.
00:29:50It is we who trespass.
00:29:53Welcome, earthlings.
00:29:56It is a rare pleasure to have you in our midst.
00:30:03Who art thou?
00:30:05I am Euryale.
00:30:08Come into my palace.
00:30:21They look real.
00:30:27These statues, they look as quiet and still as mummies,
00:30:32as if the sculptor caught his subjects unaware.
00:30:37They have a very realistic look in the eye.
00:30:40They seem to be tense, quivering.
00:30:42There is something here.
00:30:44What is it?
00:30:46They have a very realistic look in the eye.
00:30:48They seem to be tense, quivering.
00:30:50There is nothing more beautiful than the human body,
00:30:54caught in a moment of tension and sculpt,
00:30:57forever in stone, immortalized.
00:31:02Great deeds make us immortal.
00:31:05We can't all be so fortunate.
00:31:09Come.
00:31:17Where do you take us, Euryale?
00:31:19To safety.
00:31:21These caves are a labyrinth.
00:31:23It is very easy to get lost.
00:31:25Beyond these columns lies the way out.
00:31:28We didn't come in through here.
00:31:31You'll find another way out down there.
00:31:34Visitors on these lands are forbidden.
00:31:37I've led you safely underground through the Forbidden Valley.
00:31:42We thank you for your help.
00:31:54Fight them! Fight them!
00:32:13Run!
00:32:20Hercules!
00:32:32Euryale is gone.
00:32:34She's one of the garden monsters,
00:32:36who turned men into stone at a single glance.
00:32:39She's one of the gods I'm looking for.
00:32:41Now that we're past the Forbidden Valley,
00:32:43we'll continue the journey.
00:32:45But you must leave this dungeon now.
00:32:47Don't tempt the gods. You must go now.
00:32:54Wait for me. I shan't be long.
00:33:12I'm over here.
00:33:17Poor Hercules.
00:33:19King Zeus sent you on a long journey.
00:33:22What a shame it must end here.
00:33:25Be stilled forever, like stone.
00:33:30With me.
00:33:32What a shame it must end here.
00:33:35Be stilled forever, like stone.
00:33:39With me.
00:33:42I will find you! I'm coming!
00:33:45Yes, do come.
00:33:48Let me look at you.
00:34:02Hercules.
00:34:14I'm over here.
00:34:20I'm over here.
00:34:29I'm over here.
00:34:31Come look at me.
00:34:34Look at yourself, dear Euryale,
00:34:37and use my shield as a mirror.
00:34:45Hercules.
00:35:02Come on.
00:35:04Come on.
00:35:31The second thunderbolt.
00:35:35Hercules has discovered the second thunderbolt.
00:35:38No.
00:35:39And Minos disappeared.
00:35:41For three days and three nights,
00:35:44Minos has been sailing east.
00:35:46I know. I followed him to the edge of time and space.
00:35:49You could have changed the winds.
00:35:51His science changed them back.
00:35:53He uses science against godly powers.
00:35:56I don't trust him.
00:35:57Our purpose is the same.
00:35:59That is to kill Hercules.
00:36:02I must find a way to overcome the fire monster's radiant heat.
00:36:06I am not immune to the energy Antaeus releases.
00:36:09The little people use cunning against power.
00:36:11I think they will listen to me.
00:36:13Then let us go to the little people.
00:36:15But to reach them, we'll have to cross the doomed forest,
00:36:17where the demon Tartarus reigns.
00:36:19We can't go back now.
00:36:21Then you'll save the maidens of the jester.
00:36:23Fate has already willed it.
00:36:25Zeus has sent me here to find his mighty thunderbolts.
00:36:28And one of them is inside Antaeus' belly.
00:36:47It's so gloomy here.
00:36:49Like a land of lost souls.
00:36:51That's what they are.
00:36:53They're dogs.
00:36:55It's the work of a fiend.
00:36:58Once they were humans or demigods.
00:37:01This resembles hell on earth.
00:37:04And to think that Tartarus was once a favorite of King Zeus.
00:37:08Until one day, he offended the king and was banished.
00:37:12He's been living in this forest for thousands of years.
00:37:16It is said he poisons his own blood.
00:37:19And he's been eating his own flesh.
00:37:22For thousands of years.
00:37:24It is said he poisons the trees and that the splinters are deadly.
00:37:28If we go another way, we'll lose time.
00:37:31But...
00:37:32He could have attacked us had he wanted.
00:37:34There's little else we can do but face him.
00:37:36Wait here.
00:37:40Urania, I'm scared.
00:37:43I'm terrified.
00:37:52I'm scared.
00:38:22Show yourself!
00:38:24I'm here.
00:38:26Let us cross the forest in peace.
00:38:29I'm here.
00:38:31I'm here.
00:38:33I'm here.
00:38:35I'm here.
00:38:37I'm here.
00:38:39I'm here.
00:38:41I'm here.
00:38:43I'm here.
00:38:45I'm here.
00:38:47I'm here.
00:38:49I'm here.
00:38:51Let us cross the forest in peace.
00:38:57I rule the world of the dead.
00:39:02I have sent many a valiant soul to Hades.
00:39:08Hercules!
00:39:12Did I frighten the son of Zeus?
00:39:21Doom!
00:39:24Die!
00:39:26Die!
00:39:29You will join my forest of dangling souls.
00:39:33Where are you?
00:39:35Here!
00:39:37Your death shall free the souls!
00:39:47The third thunderbolt.
00:39:52All beings but us will perish,
00:39:55and I shall regenerate mankind to my own likeness.
00:39:58I am chaos.
00:40:00This sword of ice has existed from the beginning of time,
00:40:04and with it you will have the gods at your feet.
00:40:08I'll have the gods at my feet?
00:40:10Yes, Minos.
00:40:12The sword was forged for Cronus at the time of creation,
00:40:15and later, when Zeus conquered Cronus,
00:40:17I stole the sword and hid it for this occasion.
00:40:21The gods have always underestimated me, Daedalus.
00:40:24And they will be punished for it.
00:40:26For the sake of my honor.
00:40:29With this sword, science shall triumph.
00:40:36I give it to you now.
00:40:38It is to be used only once.
00:40:48Beware, ye gods, of the science of Minos.
00:40:56Here we are.
00:40:58That's the way to the little people,
00:41:00through the ancient naos of Lakunt.
00:41:02They see and hear what we cannot.
00:41:04Then you'll wait here?
00:41:06Yes.
00:41:07Good luck, Urania.
00:41:09I won't be long.
00:41:11I'll be back.
00:41:13Good luck, Urania.
00:41:15I won't be long.
00:41:33Where the fires are high,
00:41:35I invoke you, Clotho and Lachesis.
00:41:39What brings thee here, Urania?
00:41:42You had made your choice.
00:41:44You found Hercules, and destiny is being fulfilled.
00:41:48Yes, and we thank you for it.
00:41:50And would ask you this.
00:41:52How can Hercules stand up to Antaeus and not meet his death?
00:41:55To your question, we do know the answer.
00:41:58But first, Urania, you must find the one and only substance
00:42:02that can give protection to man
00:42:05against the flames of the fire monster, Antaeus.
00:42:09This is the healing secret balm of Nonocryl,
00:42:13made out of drops of water from the River Styx.
00:42:17Where is it?
00:42:19You and Hercules must reach the sea
00:42:21and find there the Sanctuary of Thetis.
00:42:24She will tell you what Hercules and you must do to face Antaeus.
00:42:29Fire can only be defeated by water.
00:42:33Yes, but how can we find her sanctuary under such deep water?
00:42:37You will have gills like fish if you swallow these precious herbs,
00:42:41and you will breathe like the inhabitants of the sea.
00:42:44Take these golden leaves of the consecrated gardens of Hesper.
00:43:00Hercules, I've got the secret.
00:43:03Tell me, how can we stop the fire monster?
00:43:05We'll have to journey.
00:43:06Where to?
00:43:07No, you must stay here, Glossia.
00:43:09Don't you think we should stay together?
00:43:11The little people speak in the name of Zeus,
00:43:13and we will have to do what they say.
00:43:15Their words reflect the faithfulness of the gods.
00:43:18They only speak the truth.
00:43:20It is best, Glossia.
00:43:22Wait for us here, and don't worry.
00:43:24We'll not be long.
00:43:27You say the little people spoke of Thetis and the Sea Kingdom?
00:43:31Yes, and the door to it lies below there.
00:43:35That's many leaks beneath the sea.
00:43:37We needn't fear.
00:43:38We shall breathe like water creatures, thanks to this.
00:43:42The little people gave them to me.
00:43:44Oh, what is that?
00:43:46Time is short.
00:43:47Take it.
00:43:49Didn't you hear?
00:43:51What is that?
00:43:52Time is short.
00:43:53Take it.
00:43:55Didn't you say the little people always spoke the truth?
00:44:21Look there.
00:44:49Yes.
00:44:50It's the Temple of Thetis, the Nereid.
00:45:19Welcome, my friends.
00:45:21Do not be alarmed.
00:45:23You don't see me speak, but you hear the projection of my thought.
00:45:27You come in the name of Zeus, I know.
00:45:30We have very little time, and we need your help.
00:45:33It shall not be denied.
00:45:35The sacred bomb the little people spoke to you about
00:45:39was made with three drops taken from the river Styx that flows through Hades.
00:45:44If you spread the bomb from head to toe,
00:45:46you shall, for a short while, resist the incinerating flames of Antis,
00:45:52the fire monster.
00:45:54If I'm able to resist the heat for the time it takes to discover his secret,
00:45:59then Thegesta will be free.
00:46:01Yes, the maidens of Thegesta shall be free of danger,
00:46:05but not for long.
00:46:07The thunderbolts that were stolen from Zeus have caused havoc in the skies.
00:46:14The moon no longer obeys the earth.
00:46:16The tides have swollen the seas.
00:46:18You must find the remaining thunderbolts,
00:46:21or our planet shall surely be crushed.
00:46:24We'll be crushed?
00:46:25The moon?
00:46:26Yes, it is coming upon us.
00:46:28The meridians have been changed.
00:46:30Unless cosmic balance is reestablished,
00:46:33it will mean the annihilation of all living things,
00:46:36perhaps even the gods.
00:46:38We cannot let this happen.
00:46:40We must stop it now.
00:46:42Hercules and Urania,
00:46:44you hold the fate of all that has been created in your hands.
00:46:49I give you the sacred bomb you have come for.
00:46:53Go,
00:46:55and face the fire monster at once.
00:47:03Are you all right?
00:47:04Yes, yes, let's go.
00:47:13Where is she?
00:47:14I don't know.
00:47:16Glossia?
00:47:23Glossia?
00:47:27Would she have gone around that point?
00:47:29Well, it's not like her.
00:47:31It's strange.
00:47:33It's strange.
00:47:42Look there.
00:47:52It's a shield.
00:48:05I know this shield.
00:48:07Whose is it?
00:48:09It belongs to the high priest and to his soldiers.
00:48:13The priest who invokes the fire monster.
00:48:16That means they came here to get her and to sacrifice her.
00:48:19They can't be far ahead of us.
00:48:21We'll reach her in time.
00:48:22Great gods, don't let me die.
00:48:24Oh, I beg.
00:48:26Please, please help me.
00:48:28Help me.
00:48:30No, no, don't let me die.
00:48:33I invoke thee, Antaeus,
00:48:37lord of fire.
00:48:39We offer you the last daughter of the jester.
00:48:43Come.
00:48:45Here is your victim.
00:48:57It's ghastly.
00:49:00No, no.
00:49:07It's hell.
00:49:09Hell on earth.
00:49:11Take it away.
00:49:16No, no.
00:49:22It's Antaeus.
00:49:24Help.
00:49:26Antaeus.
00:49:28I am ready for you.
00:49:31Hercules.
00:49:37Hercules.
00:50:07Hercules.
00:50:37Hercules.
00:51:08Antaeus is dead.
00:51:10We've been set free.
00:51:12Hercules has found the fourth lightning bolt.
00:51:14But this is only the beginning.
00:51:16The beginning?
00:51:18We're rid of the monster.
00:51:20The problem is not just Antaeus.
00:51:22Our Mother Earth is in great danger.
00:51:25And mankind will perish
00:51:27unless we can help Hercules find the three remaining thunderbolts.
00:51:32I think Minos is up to his old tricks again.
00:51:35Always experimenting.
00:51:37We did not rebel against Zeus only to join forces with disaster.
00:51:41No.
00:51:43We rebelled against Zeus to be free.
00:51:45Completely free.
00:51:47Should he succeed in collecting all his thunderbolts,
00:51:50Zeus will be back in full force.
00:51:53Why hasn't Minos stopped him yet?
00:51:55Minos doesn't need our advice.
00:51:58The clashing of these two enemies is unavoidable.
00:52:01Minos is preparing a nice little surprise for Hercules.
00:52:05Oh, is he?
00:52:06At this very moment.
00:52:08Meanwhile, Flora is keeping Minos in check.
00:52:11Yes. In fact, he asked that I appear before him.
00:52:14Perhaps the three of us should appear.
00:52:16He's diabolically clever.
00:52:18But Flora is the one who brought him back from eternal sleep.
00:52:21He seems to trust her most.
00:52:23He trusts no one.
00:52:25Let us hope for the best.
00:52:27The stars be with you, Flora.
00:52:29Thank you, Her.
00:52:56You're late in answering my call.
00:52:58The gods have done what you wanted, Minos.
00:53:01Yet Hercules succeeds in his mission.
00:53:03He's found four thunderbolts while you...
00:53:05you just disappear.
00:53:07You're acting as though you were a god.
00:53:09I am much more than a god, Flora.
00:53:11You're mad, Minos.
00:53:13The time has come to dissolve the bond
00:53:16that ties me with foolish gods unworthy of my talents.
00:53:20Those gods will annihilate you.
00:53:23Those gods will annihilate you, Minos.
00:53:25Be careful.
00:53:27Your concern for me is touching,
00:53:29especially since it comes
00:53:31at the moment when you should be afraid for yourself.
00:53:34Flora, goddess of spring,
00:53:37I deliver you into the land of frost.
00:53:41Of ice!
00:53:54The little people used to appear in this temple
00:53:57before the fire monster destroyed it.
00:54:00If only I could call them back.
00:54:06What is it, Urania?
00:54:08I... I feel another presence.
00:54:12I... I feel another presence.
00:54:15What is it, Urania?
00:54:17I... I feel another presence.
00:54:20I... I feel another presence.
00:54:24It's strange.
00:54:26As if...
00:54:30Urania, are you certain this is the place?
00:54:34The temple has always meant a lot to the little people.
00:54:37I've always talked to them, but now I can't feel their presence.
00:54:41There is another way, although it's difficult and very dangerous.
00:54:44How is that?
00:54:46I shall consult an oracle.
00:54:48The oracle of death. Let me go now. I'll be back.
00:54:52Why the oracle of death?
00:54:54The little people are spirits. They're not of this world.
00:54:57Have faith in me, Hercules, and wait for me.
00:55:13Take this magic potion in your hands
00:55:16and transmit your thought to me.
00:55:19I shall hear it.
00:55:22Sweet oracle of death, help me to reach the little people.
00:55:27Drink the potion.
00:55:47We're sorry we couldn't come to you, dear Urania,
00:55:51but the Earth is a difficult place, even for spirits.
00:55:55It's much safer here in the astral world,
00:55:58amidst the stars, moons, and planets.
00:56:07They say there is chaos here, too.
00:56:11Where shall we ever take our poor spirits?
00:56:42Oh, no!
00:57:05We know that you have come here, Urania,
00:57:08Find out where the Goddess Hera and her rebellious sisters have hidden the rest of Zeus's thunderbolts.
00:57:14Not even the gods have secrets from us.
00:57:17We could tell you where they are, but your search will be extremely difficult.
00:57:21You've been chosen to help Hercules retrieve the thunderbolts.
00:57:24But you weren't told of the risks that are involved.
00:57:27Zeus knows that for universal peace, you are ready to sacrifice all.
00:57:32Yes, it will mean your life.
00:57:35No!
00:57:41There's something strange about this old temple.
00:57:44Urania and I have been here before.
00:57:47And she'd come to consult the Oracle?
00:57:49Yes. She inherited her powers from her mother.
00:57:53Her adopted mother, a priestess of Corinth.
00:57:56And her father?
00:57:58We don't know.
00:57:59But when her mother died, she was taken in by my parents in Thegesta.
00:58:04And they've since died.
00:58:05We have had a hard life, and that is why Urania and I are so close.
00:58:10My family and ancestors had lived in Thegesta since time forgotten.
00:58:15But after Antaeus descended upon us, all changed.
00:58:18Now we only live to defend ourselves.
00:58:20We're...
00:58:23What was that?
00:58:25What did you hear?
00:58:26Something that came from that direction.
00:58:31Are you certain, Glacia?
00:58:34Well, I thought I did.
00:58:39I already told you I had my misgivings.
00:58:52Who are these people?
00:58:53Women warriors! The Amazons of Scythia!
00:59:01Be careful of the Queen, Hercules!
00:59:04She is the most evil of all!
00:59:31No!
00:59:47Hercules!
01:00:00The net! Throw the net on him!
01:00:15What will we do with her?
01:00:17We'll come back for her later.
01:00:19Yes, Captain.
01:00:30Rise, Your Majesty.
01:00:32Rise up from the fires, my queen.
01:00:35Rise and let your burning flesh meld together
01:00:39with the body of your victim.
01:00:43You will be my queen.
01:00:45I will be your queen.
01:00:47I will be your queen.
01:00:49I will be your queen.
01:00:51I will be your queen.
01:00:53I will be your queen.
01:00:55I will be your queen.
01:00:57The body of your victim.
01:01:08You've a choice prize in your net,
01:01:11oh queen of spiders.
01:01:19Hercules.
01:01:22Hercules awaits you, my queen.
01:01:27Go. Leave me.
01:01:58Urania!
01:02:02Oh, Urania.
01:02:03Colossus, what happened?
01:02:05You bruised your head.
01:02:07We've been attacked and they took Hercules
01:02:09and they left me there thinking that I was dead.
01:02:11Who? Who did it?
01:02:13While fighting the Amazons.
01:02:15The spider queen?
01:02:17Yes. He's at her mercy. Caught in her magnetic web.
01:02:27She's a monster who has assumed the likeness of a human.
01:02:31There's little we can do, Urania.
01:02:35I call to thee, powers of light.
01:02:39Transfer unto Hercules thy energy to win.
01:02:46Her love is evil.
01:02:48He must kill her or he will die.
01:02:57Ah!
01:03:28The fifth thunderbolt.
01:03:30I deliver it to you, Zeus.
01:03:47The goddess Hera was the instrument of my return to Earth,
01:03:50but not the queen.
01:03:53The goddess Hera was the instrument of my return to Earth,
01:03:56but not the cause.
01:03:58Fate needed me here.
01:04:00Now, Daedalus, this is surely an important moment for science.
01:04:07For me, the goal of science is to release chaos and disorder.
01:04:11Daedalus, make me the ally of trickery and of chaos.
01:04:18It'll serve you well.
01:04:23I bestow cunning, connivance, and chaos.
01:04:37We four gods are doomed, Hera.
01:04:40It was a grave mistake to rebel against Zeus.
01:04:43Poseidon is right.
01:04:45Hercules has discovered the fifth thunderbolt,
01:04:47and soon Zeus will shatter Minos.
01:04:49No, Hercules cannot compete with Minos.
01:04:51His science is invincible.
01:04:53And once Hercules is defeated, we shall rid ourselves of Minos.
01:04:57Invincible? Not from the looks of things.
01:05:00Flora was instantly felled by the sword of ice.
01:05:03You carry on so, and yet would consider yourselves gods.
01:05:07You're like ordinary mortals, without dignity.
01:05:15Yes, without dignity.
01:05:18Science and chaos have given me the power to eliminate you all.
01:05:30Flea, Aphrodite! Hera!
01:05:48Minos!
01:06:00Beware, Minos.
01:06:04Beware of what?
01:06:06Of your quivering frame?
01:06:12A goddess in my power.
01:06:15You did not conquer us.
01:06:17I admit we were all divided by jealousy.
01:06:20But Zeus will have his day.
01:06:23Zeus?
01:06:26Zeus is nil without his thunderbolts.
01:06:29And with Hercules' help, they'll all soon be mine.
01:06:33He'll not agree to that.
01:06:35Oh, no, you're wrong, my dear Hera.
01:06:37Hercules works for me, though he's not aware of it.
01:06:40But now you shall tell me where the last thunderbolt is hidden.
01:06:45Never.
01:06:47Oh, I can wait.
01:06:49Never is only a question of time.
01:06:52Follow me.
01:06:54Where does this lead?
01:06:55To the edge of the world.
01:06:57But we needn't fear, Hercules.
01:06:59Then these are the wastelands of Hesperia,
01:07:01the last bulwark before ascending Mount Olympus.
01:07:05Our destiny takes us up through there.
01:07:08Then lead on.
01:07:10There are still two thunderbolts for you to uncover, oh, Hercules.
01:07:14Be patient, my son.
01:07:16I shall guide you to them.
01:07:25Where are we now?
01:07:27Shh, quiet.
01:07:30We're in the Temple of Echoes,
01:07:32where the words of men reflect those of the gods,
01:07:36where everything reflects itself.
01:08:07Look there.
01:08:09The reflected light of a thunderbolt.
01:08:12The foolish gods have repented.
01:08:15Yes, the gods have been graced.
01:08:21Now, Zeus, it's time to crush the forces of chaos.
01:08:25The time to fulfill our destinies.
01:08:37Glossia!
01:08:39Glossia!
01:08:40One move, and she dies.
01:08:42The moment of truth is here.
01:08:44I'm not who you think I am.
01:08:46Glossia is dead.
01:08:48Yes, thanks to Glossia, I knew your every move, Hercules.
01:08:51Now that you've found the sixth thunderbolt,
01:08:53it's time we faced each other.
01:08:56I'm sorry, Hercules.
01:08:58I'm sorry.
01:09:00I'm sorry.
01:09:02I'm sorry.
01:09:04It's time we faced each other.
01:09:06Minas, not again.
01:09:09Yes, I'm back, thanks to the gods.
01:09:14Actually, I've been back for a while,
01:09:18from that time at that lonely beach
01:09:20when you lost sight of Glossia.
01:09:22Remember?
01:09:23I had called upon Poseidon,
01:09:25and he commanded that the waters drain the life out of the real Glossia.
01:09:34Glossia!
01:09:50Glossia, it's not possible.
01:09:53How can it be?
01:09:55We created an exact replica of the original,
01:09:58better than the original,
01:10:00at least for us.
01:10:03Her emotional and mental responses appear to be the same,
01:10:07but we scientifically altered the course of her destiny.
01:10:11She was not aware of it until this very moment.
01:10:15Hercules, there's no need for us to fight.
01:10:19With the aid of Chaos, I have subdued the gods who rebelled against Zeus.
01:10:23Alone, without the full array of his thunderbolts,
01:10:26Zeus is no match for Chaos.
01:10:29Glossia belongs to Chaos, and to science.
01:10:34Join us, Hercules. Come.
01:10:37Never!
01:10:38Very well.
01:10:46Those foolish gods wanted him destroyed.
01:10:49Instead, I shall use him.
01:10:51Can you imagine?
01:10:53A mankind created in his image,
01:10:56scientifically programmed.
01:10:59No error.
01:11:03Glossia, my dear,
01:11:07we no longer need you.
01:11:10Get rid of yourself.
01:11:27Excellent.
01:11:29I'm sure, Urania, you know the way.
01:11:35One must accept inevitable defeat.
01:11:39I can only accept it as a challenge, Minos.
01:11:44Very amusing.
01:11:57Zeus!
01:11:59You're viewing my sacred domain, dear Daedalus.
01:12:04I'm simply returning the favor.
01:12:07No, you can do nothing, Zeus.
01:12:09For though you are the light, I am the darkness.
01:12:12Thus we are alike.
01:12:14Except for one thing.
01:12:16I possess time.
01:12:19For I am the son of Cronus.
01:12:22Oh, father time!
01:12:53I have failed, Athena,
01:12:56and allowed Minos to trick me.
01:13:03It's yours, Cronus.
01:13:06It's yours, Athena.
01:13:09It's yours, Cronus.
01:13:12It's yours, Athena.
01:13:15It's yours, Cronus.
01:13:18It's yours, Athena.
01:13:21It's yours, Hercules.
01:13:28This shield will protect you from Minos and evil science.
01:13:33But only if you can save yourself.
01:13:36The moon shall crush the earth if Minos has his way.
01:13:39He will sacrifice us all so as to reign in the name of chaos.
01:13:43Hercules,
01:13:45go on to Olympic skies.
01:13:51I have the gods in the palm of my hand.
01:13:54My science has turned pure energy into battling warriors.
01:13:58But we have the greatest warrior of all time, Minos.
01:14:07Suddenly you're for Hercules.
01:14:12We doubt he can change the earth's course.
01:14:15Watch this.
01:14:21Minos!
01:14:51Minos!
01:15:08There's one thing your magic shield won't protect you from, Hercules.
01:15:12Pure energy.
01:15:16Cosmic light.
01:15:24The sun's fire.
01:15:27Take this, Hercules.
01:15:33It is of the same energy and you shall be infused with it.
01:15:38You are the heart and the force of the universe.
01:15:43Hercules.
01:16:13Minos!
01:16:43Minos!
01:17:13Minos!
01:17:43Minos!
01:18:14Minos challenged the universe and the very secret of life.
01:18:19His savagery has been cancelled.
01:18:22The maiden Urania is free and the goddess Hera has repented.
01:18:28Hercules did what no other man could have done.
01:18:32But danger still lurks in the skies.
01:18:35It could all be resolved by finding the last thunderbolt.
01:18:41The oracles say it was hidden up here on Olympus.
01:18:45But that's not so. How can the oracles lie?
01:18:49It is here.
01:18:52Your secret was revealed to me.
01:18:55You, Hera, are my mother and you hid the last thunderbolt within me.
01:19:01In my heart.
01:19:04And I am the final hiding place.
01:19:10You're my mother, Hera.
01:19:14Yes, it's true.
01:19:16I created you from light and I breathed life into you.
01:19:21I had you formed with beauty and goodness,
01:19:24but only to conceal what was hidden within you.
01:19:27Yet I grew fond of you and often asked myself,
01:19:31can she, would she ever feel love for me?
01:19:37And now?
01:19:41And now, Mother, you must do what fate demands of you.
01:19:47I gave you life, my child.
01:19:49I never thought I would have to take it from you.
01:19:52You must.
01:19:53Please don't.
01:19:55Mother, this little time.
01:19:58But isn't there hurry?
01:20:00How else can we save the world, my child?
01:20:04Mother, give me the kiss of death.
01:20:18Oh, love.
01:20:21My beloved daughter.
01:20:34Oh.
01:21:04Chaos has been defeated.
01:21:34But if another threat arises, the Earth is surely doomed.
01:21:39Can mankind withstand the dangers?
01:21:42Only our fear can defeat us.
01:21:45Man always finds a way to conquer.
01:21:47Not without the gods.
01:21:49But I am here, am I not?
01:21:51How can a man stop the Earth from colliding with the moon?
01:21:55The way Atlantis did at the beginning of time.
01:21:58My newfound powers shall belong to him, Hercules.
01:22:04Grow, Hercules. Grow!
01:22:07Hercules, block the moon.
01:22:30Stop the Earth.
01:22:32Save mankind!
01:23:02Stop the Earth.
01:23:32Now order is reestablished.
01:24:02Hera.
01:24:04You sacrificed what was dearest to you to save the universe.
01:24:08And so I forgive you.
01:24:11And forgive those gods who had lost faith and rebelled against me.
01:24:15Let peace reign again and forever on Olympus.
01:24:19And on Earth.
01:24:21So be it.
01:24:23Forevermore.
01:24:25To reward you for your sacrifice.
01:24:27And Urania for hers.
01:24:30I decree that she become one of the Muses.
01:24:33Granting wisdom from this time on to man and to the gods.
01:24:39Urania, goddess and muse of space.
01:24:43Patron of astrology.
01:24:48And you too, Hercules.
01:24:50Greatest of men and savior of the universe.
01:24:54You too shall dwell among the immortal gods.
01:24:58And the example of your courage will shine in the heavens till the end of time.
01:25:58THE END
