Short filmTranscript
00:00:00 Long before the heavens had taken form, there existed an angel-like figure, a goddess, whom
00:00:19 the ancients called Empyrea.
00:00:22 From within her came the seed of fire and light that was to issue forth all stars, planets
00:00:29 and moons.
00:00:30 The goddess was called Empyrea.

00:01:53 From this great beginning, the planet Earth was formed, together with its satellite, the
00:02:00 moon.
00:02:01 Then, one day, the gods, the prime movers of the universe, gave life to an earthly creature,
00:02:10 the mightiest, the most heroic of all men, Hercules.

00:08:35 Be quiet maiden.
00:08:38 You disturb the gods.
00:08:43 The altar is set.
00:08:46 The appointed hour has come.
00:08:54 The fires await her silken flanks.
00:09:02 To the altar. To the altar.
00:09:08 Find her in her chains.
00:09:11 No. No. I've done nothing.
00:09:15 Quiet. Be still.
00:09:18 [Music]
00:09:26 Untie me.
00:09:29 Cry not. It is an honor to be chosen.
00:09:33 No. No.
00:09:35 The moon is high. We are ready my dear Antius.
00:09:38 The city of Thragesta offers you another one of its daughters.
00:09:41 No. Don't give me to the fire monster.
00:09:44 You are privileged. This is your destiny.
00:09:48 You must die so that your people will live on.
00:09:51 No. Don't let him take me. He is evil.
00:09:55 She is yours Antius.

00:11:16 Glacia.
00:11:18 What is it?
00:11:20 Antius. The fire monster.
00:11:23 Ilia. Ilia is dead.
00:11:26 I was there.
00:11:28 The ghoulish fiend swallowed her in his flames.
00:11:31 Consumed her slowly.
00:11:33 Oh, it was horrible.
00:11:36 Who gives him his power?
00:11:41 He'll swallow us all Eurene.
00:11:45 One by one.
00:11:50 Why do our gods permit it?
00:11:53 Why has our clan been chosen for this horror?
00:11:58 No. Don't blame the gods.
00:12:01 You must have faith. Please be strong.
00:12:05 I want to have faith Eurene. It's difficult though.
00:12:09 I know.
00:12:11 I knew you went there. I wanted to stop you.
00:12:13 You forget you're our chosen sister.
00:12:16 Our fate is in your destiny.
00:12:19 Has it revealed itself?
00:12:21 No, I think it's too early my sister.
00:12:23 I have only the power to predict, not to prevent.
00:12:28 It is said that you shall be the next victim.
00:12:34 Ilia came to me in a dream.
00:12:36 I went to her, but it was too late.
00:12:39 And now?
00:12:41 I would be willing to die.
00:12:43 To save our people.
00:12:47 But what's the good? It will only be in vain.
00:12:52 He will consume us.
00:12:54 Like he did Ilia.
00:12:56 Antaeus is evil.
00:12:59 He must be destroyed.
00:13:01 There is a way.
00:13:03 What do you mean?
00:13:04 There is a way to destroy him.
00:13:06 How?
00:13:07 With cunning.
00:13:08 I'll go to the people.
00:13:10 They use cunning to survive.
00:13:12 I'm sure they'll give me the right answer.
00:13:15 Have faith. I'll be back tomorrow morning.
00:13:18 [birds chirping]
00:13:26 [music]
00:13:55 Little people.
00:13:57 Friends of Zeus.
00:13:59 Oh, please, listen to my prayer.
00:14:02 [whispering]
00:14:11 We know why you are here, Urania.
00:14:13 Terrible things are happening in the universe.
00:14:16 Even the gods have been led astray.
00:14:19 Four of them rebelled against Zeus and stole his seven mighty thunderbolts.
00:14:24 The secret, the key to all his powers.
00:14:27 It is your fate that calls.
00:14:29 And your coming here was already planned.
00:14:32 The architects of the universe have lost control of the heavenly bodies.
00:14:36 Our moon is coming towards us.
00:14:38 Your destiny is interwoven in the celestial upheaval.
00:14:42 And it will lead you to the one man who can help you.
00:14:46 Who is he? Where can I find him?
00:14:48 He's the strongest man who has ever walked the earth.
00:14:51 A man called Hercules.
00:14:54 Hercules is still...
00:14:55 Yes, the invincible son of Zeus.
00:14:58 It was he who divided the continents.
00:15:01 As it was he who had formed the constellations.
00:15:04 And who defeated King Minos and his vast empire.
00:15:08 Yes, Hercules, the invincible.
00:15:11 And yet nothing's been heard from him for ages.
00:15:14 They say that Zeus sent him up to the heavens and placed him among the brightest stars.
00:15:19 Destiny says it is you who must seek him.
00:15:23 Go with Glorcia to the Forbidden Valley.
00:15:26 That's where you shall meet him.
00:15:28 Hercules.
00:15:29 Yes, the invincible.
00:15:31 Hercules!
00:15:32 (music)
00:15:55 They are crying for Hercules, oh Zeus.
00:15:58 And we seem immune to their suffering.
00:16:01 I have hesitated.
00:16:03 Because man must learn to stand on his own two feet.
00:16:08 I blame our own gods if man has failed.
00:16:12 There has been wickedness here in Olympus.
00:16:15 And I am powerless.
00:16:17 The moon is wild.
00:16:19 It looms bigger every day as it moves in on its mother planet.
00:16:23 The foolish gods who stole my seven thunderbolts are the cause of this disorder.
00:16:27 There is no other hope but to summon the greatest warrior ever known.
00:16:32 He will stop the rebel gods and recover my seven thunderbolts.
00:16:38 Hercules!
00:16:43 Hercules!
00:16:46 Return to Earth!
00:16:48 Retrieve my seven thunderbolts which allow me to maintain order.
00:16:53 Make haste, Hercules, lest the planets destroy themselves and all living things.

00:19:46 Hercules is here on Earth and has already converted one of the seven thunderbolts.
00:19:52 Should he find all seven, our plans will be shattered.
00:19:56 The lightning lies in the bellies of monsters and they roam in places inaccessible to man.
00:20:02 I hope you're right, Hera.
00:20:04 Zeus will be destroyed and as for Hercules, someone has waited many years for revenge.
00:20:11 Am I right, Flora?
00:20:13 I've arranged it all, dear Hera.
00:20:16 I've called upon the warrior, Goras.
00:20:20 He's ambitious, has few scruples and will consent to any request.
00:20:26 The fool seeks the status of a demigod but lacks the gentility.
00:20:32 He will serve us well.
00:20:37 Flora!
00:20:39 Flora!
00:20:42 (swoosh)
00:20:45 (swoosh)
00:20:50 (swoosh)
00:20:55 (swoosh)
00:21:00 Ah, there you are.
00:21:03 First you nearly blind me and then you hide in shadow.
00:21:09 Why have you summoned me to such a dreary place?
00:21:12 You always wanted to know the secrets of darkness and now your wish is about to be answered.
00:21:20 Come.
00:21:22 (music)
00:21:46 This is...
00:21:51 It's the secret tomb of King Minos of Thera.
00:21:53 Good for you, Goras.
00:21:55 His cursed ashes lie here.
00:21:57 But his knowledge and power cannot be imprisoned forever.
00:22:01 Release them.
00:22:05 (swoosh)
00:22:07 (music)
00:22:27 (music)
00:22:40 He's nothing but bones.
00:22:42 Of course, but through resurrection he shall rise again.
00:22:46 But in order to have life, one must take life.
00:22:51 (swoosh)
00:22:58 Poseidon.
00:22:59 (swoosh)
00:23:02 Aphrodite.
00:23:03 (swoosh)
00:23:05 Hera.
00:23:06 (swoosh)
00:23:09 Minos can now be stirred from his eternal sleep.
00:23:13 I have my misgivings, Flora.
00:23:15 Minos was always up to mischief and deception.
00:23:18 But we've the power to handle him.
00:23:21 Flora did well to slay the warrior Goras.
00:23:29 (swoosh)
00:23:35 Now, the blood of this man will give life back to Minos.
00:23:42 (swoosh)
00:23:49 (music)
00:23:58 (music)
00:24:08 (music)
00:24:18 (music)
00:24:28 (music)
00:24:40 Who awakens me?
00:24:51 It is you three.
00:24:57 What do you want, Hera?
00:25:00 Zeus has brought Hercules back to life.
00:25:03 We need your help. He must be eliminated.
00:25:06 With this sword.
00:25:07 And whatever you wish will be yours.
00:25:10 Hmm.
00:25:11 Now be the sword.
00:25:15 You know I've never put much stock on the promises of gods.
00:25:20 But it's not often that fulfilling one's obligations can be such pleasure.
00:25:27 (music)
00:25:49 (music)
00:25:59 (music)
00:26:09 (music)
00:26:19 (music)
00:26:29 (music)
00:26:41 Oh, help! Help me!
00:26:43 Easy. Calm down.
00:26:45 Calm down and I shall help.
00:26:46 They thought I was dead.
00:26:48 But they took my friend Urania with them.
00:26:50 Who took her?
00:26:51 The slime people.
00:26:53 They ambushed us.
00:26:54 They rise out of the mud and mire and hold you by suction.
00:26:58 Where did they go?
00:27:00 Through the wild, towards the great mouth of stone.
00:27:04 The Forbidden Valley. You should know that this is a very dangerous region.
00:27:08 (music)
00:27:19 This way.
00:27:20 (music)
00:27:37 Glacia?
00:27:43 Urania!
00:27:46 Hercules! I thought you were still--
00:27:48 Hurry. There's no time now.
00:27:51 (hissing)
00:27:52 (screaming)
00:27:54 (hissing)
00:27:56 (growling)
00:28:17 Hold on.
00:28:19 Good girl.
00:28:22 Come on.
00:28:24 (growling)
00:28:41 Quick. Inside the stone mouth.
00:28:43 They're coming.
00:28:45 Inside. Inside.
00:28:47 (growling)
00:29:02 What was that?
00:29:03 It could be the work of gods. Careful.
00:29:06 But the gods always forewarn earthly people.
00:29:08 There are evil gods.
00:29:10 How can we tell?
00:29:12 Don't worry.
00:29:14 For now, no one's bothering us.
00:29:16 They seemed afraid of this place, and yet they brought you here.
00:29:20 They were going to sacrifice me to something.
00:29:23 Something that lives in here.
00:29:26 The currents change direction at this point.
00:29:29 The air flow takes this way.
00:29:31 Come. Follow me.
00:29:34 Where do you--
00:29:35 Quiet.
00:29:38 Shh.
00:29:41 It is we who trespass.
00:29:44 Welcome, earthlings.
00:29:47 'Tis a rare pleasure to have you in our midst.
00:29:53 Who art thou?
00:29:56 I am you.
00:29:59 I am the god of the earth.
00:30:03 Who art thou?
00:30:05 I am Eurere.
00:30:08 Come into my palace.
00:30:29 They look real.
00:30:35 These statues, they look as quiet and still as mummies,
00:30:40 as if the sculptor caught his subjects unaware.
00:30:45 They have a very realistic look in the eye.
00:30:47 They seem to be tense, quivering.
00:30:49 There is nothing more beautiful than the human body
00:30:53 caught in a moment of tension and sculpt,
00:30:57 forever in stone, immortalized.
00:31:01 Great deeds make us immortal.
00:31:04 We can't all be so fortunate.
00:31:08 Come.
00:31:10 Where do you take us, Eurere?
00:31:18 To safety.
00:31:20 These caves are a labyrinth.
00:31:23 It is very easy to get lost.
00:31:25 Beyond these columns lies the way out.
00:31:28 We didn't come in through here.
00:31:30 You'll find another way out down there.
00:31:34 Visitors on these lands are forbidden.
00:31:37 I've led you safely underground through the Forbidden Valley.
00:31:42 We thank you for your help.
00:31:46 [Gun cocks]

00:32:31 Eurere is gone.
00:32:33 She's one of the gargant monsters who turned men into stone at a single glance.
00:32:38 She's one of the gods I'm looking for.
00:32:40 Now that we're past the Forbidden Valley, we'll continue the journey.
00:32:43 But you must leave this dungeon now, and I'll--
00:32:46 Don't tempt the gods. You must go now!
00:32:50 [Panting]
00:32:53 Wait for me! I shan't be long!
00:32:56 [Footsteps approach]
00:32:59 [♪♪♪]
00:33:02 [♪♪♪]
00:33:05 [Laughing]
00:33:20 I'm over here!
00:33:22 Poor Hercules.
00:33:27 King Zeus sent you on a long journey.
00:33:30 What a shame it must end here.
00:33:33 Be stilled forever like stone...
00:33:38 with me.
00:33:40 I will find you! I'm coming!
00:33:44 Yes, do come.
00:33:46 Let me look at you.
00:33:49 [♪♪♪]
00:33:52 [♪♪♪]
00:34:00 Hercules!
00:34:02 [Laughing]
00:34:05 Hercules!
00:34:12 I'm over here!
00:34:15 [Laughing]
00:34:18 I'm over here!
00:34:21 [Laughing]
00:34:28 I'm over here!
00:34:31 Come look at me!
00:34:34 Look at yourself, dear Uriele, and use my shield as a mirror.
00:34:40 Hercules.
00:34:47 [♪♪♪]
00:34:50 [Slurping]

00:34:59 [Growling]
00:35:24 [Sizzling]
00:35:27 The second thunderbolt.
00:35:33 Hercules has discovered the second thunderbolt.
00:35:41 No. And Minos disappeared.
00:35:44 For three days and three nights, Minos has been sailing east.
00:35:48 I know. I followed him to the edge of time and space.
00:35:52 You could have changed the winds.
00:35:54 His science changed them back.
00:35:56 He uses science against godly powers. I don't trust him.
00:36:00 Our purpose is the same. That is to kill Hercules.
00:36:05 I must find a way to overcome the fire monster's radiant heat.
00:36:10 I am not immune to the energy Antaeus releases.
00:36:13 The little people use cunning against power. I think they will listen to me.
00:36:17 Then let us go to the little people.
00:36:19 To reach them, we'll have to cross the doomed forest where the demon Tartarus reigns.
00:36:23 We can't go back now.
00:36:25 Then you'll save the maidens of the jester.
00:36:27 Fate has already willed it.
00:36:29 Zeus has sent me here to find his mighty thunderbolts.
00:36:33 And one of them is inside Antaeus' belly.
00:36:37 [♪♪♪]
00:36:41 [DOGS BARKING]
00:36:44 It's so gloomy here, like a land of lost souls.
00:36:55 That's what they are.
00:36:57 They're dolls, hundreds of thousands.
00:37:01 It's the work of a fiend.
00:37:05 Once they were humans or demigods.
00:37:09 This resembles hell on earth.
00:37:12 And to think that Tartarus was once a favorite of King Zeus,
00:37:16 until one day he offended the king and was banished.
00:37:20 He's been living in this forest for thousands of years.
00:37:24 It is said he poisons the trees and that the splinters are deadly.
00:37:28 If we go another way, we'll lose time.
00:37:31 - But... - He could have attacked us had he wanted.
00:37:34 There's little else we can do but face him. Wait here.
00:37:38 Urania, I'm scared.
00:37:41 I'm terrified.

00:38:20 [LAUGHING]
00:38:34 [BIRDS CHIRPING]
00:38:37 [LAUGHING]
00:38:41 - Show yourself! - I'm here.
00:38:50 Let us cross the forest in peace.
00:38:53 [LAUGHING]
00:38:56 I rule the world of the dead.
00:39:01 I have sent many a valiant soul to Hades.
00:39:05 [LAUGHING]
00:39:07 Hercules!
00:39:09 [LAUGHING]
00:39:11 Did I frighten the son of Zeus?
00:39:14 You are doomed!
00:39:23 Die!
00:39:26 Die!
00:39:29 You will join my forest of dangling souls.
00:39:33 Where are you?
00:39:35 Here!
00:39:37 Your death shall free the souls!
00:39:40 [SCREAMING]
00:39:43 The third thunderbolt.
00:39:50 All beings but us will perish,
00:39:56 and I shall regenerate mankind to my own likeness.
00:39:59 I am chaos.
00:40:01 This sword of ice has existed from the beginning of time,
00:40:05 and with it, you will have the gods at your feet.
00:40:09 - I'll have the gods at my feet? - Yes, Neos.
00:40:12 The sword was forged for Cronus at the time of creation,
00:40:15 and later, when Zeus conquered Cronus,
00:40:17 I stole the sword and hid it for this occasion.
00:40:21 The gods have always underestimated me, Daedalus.
00:40:24 And they will be punished for it.
00:40:26 For the sake of my honor.
00:40:29 With this sword, science shall triumph.
00:40:33 I give it to you now.
00:40:38 It is to be used only once.
00:40:42 [WHOOSHING]
00:40:45 Beware, ye gods, of the science of Minos.
00:41:00 Here we are.
00:41:05 That's the way to the little people,
00:41:07 through the ancient naos of La Kunt.
00:41:09 They see and hear what we cannot.
00:41:11 - Then you'll wait here? - Yes.
00:41:13 Good luck, Urania.
00:41:15 I won't be long.
00:41:17 Where the fires are high,
00:41:35 I invoke you, Clotho and Lachesis.
00:41:39 What brings thee here, Urania?
00:41:42 You had made your choice.
00:41:44 You found Hercules, and destiny is being fulfilled.
00:41:48 Yes, and we thank you for it.
00:41:50 And would ask you this.
00:41:52 How can Hercules stand up to Andeus and not meet his death?
00:41:55 To your question, we do know the answer.
00:41:58 But first, Urania, you must find the one and only substance
00:42:02 that can give protection to man
00:42:05 against the flames of the fire monster, Andeus.
00:42:09 It is the healing secret balm of Nonocryl,
00:42:13 made out of drops of water from the river Styx.
00:42:17 Where is it?
00:42:19 You and Hercules must reach the sea
00:42:21 and find there the sanctuary of Thetis.
00:42:24 She will tell you what Hercules and you must do to face Andeus.
00:42:29 Fire can only be defeated by water.
00:42:33 Yes, but how can we find her sanctuary under such deep water?
00:42:37 You will have gills like fish if you swallow these precious herbs,
00:42:41 and you will breathe like the inhabitants of the sea.
00:42:44 Take these golden leaves of the consecrated gardens of Hesper.
00:42:49 Hercules, I've got the secret.
00:43:02 Tell me, how can we stop the fire monster?
00:43:05 - We'll have to journey. - Where to?
00:43:07 No, you must stay here, Glossia.
00:43:09 Don't you think we should stay together?
00:43:11 The little people speak in the name of Zeus,
00:43:13 and we will have to do what they say.
00:43:15 Their words reflect the faithfulness of the gods.
00:43:18 They only speak the truth.
00:43:20 It is best, Glossia. Wait for us here, and don't worry.
00:43:24 We'll not be long.
00:43:27 You say the little people spoke of Thetis and the Sea Kingdom?
00:43:31 Yes, and the door to it lies below there.
00:43:35 That's many leaks beneath the sea.
00:43:37 We needn't fear. We shall breathe like water creatures.
00:43:40 Thanks to this, the little people gave them to me.
00:43:44 - What is that? - Time is short. Take it.
00:43:48 Did you hear?
00:43:51 - What is that? - Time is short. Take it.
00:43:55 Didn't you say the little people always spoke the truth?
00:44:00 [Scratching]
00:44:02 [Screaming]
00:44:16 [Explosion]
00:44:18 [Siren Blaring]
00:44:21 [Siren Blaring]
00:44:23 Look there.
00:44:49 Yes, it's the Temple of Thetis, the Nereid.
00:44:53 [Siren Blaring]
00:45:19 Welcome, my friends. Do not be alarmed.
00:45:23 You don't see me speak, but you hear the projection of my thought.
00:45:27 You come in the name of Zeus, I know.
00:45:30 We have very little time, and we need your help.
00:45:33 It shall not be denied.
00:45:35 The sacred bomb the little people spoke to you about
00:45:39 was made with three drops taken from the river Styx that flows through Hades.
00:45:44 If you spread the bomb from head to toe,
00:45:47 it shall, for a short while, resist the incinerating flames of Antis,
00:45:53 the fire monster.
00:45:55 If I'm able to resist the heat for the time it takes to discover his secret,
00:46:00 then Thegesta will be free.
00:46:02 Yes, the maidens of Thegesta shall be free of danger,
00:46:06 but not for long.
00:46:08 The thunderbolts that were stolen from Zeus have caused havoc in the skies.
00:46:14 The moon no longer obeys the Earth.
00:46:17 The tides have swum in the seas.
00:46:19 You must find the remaining thunderbolts,
00:46:22 or our planet shall surely be crushed.
00:46:24 We'll be crushed?
00:46:26 The moon?
00:46:27 Yes, it is coming upon us.
00:46:29 The meridians have been changed.
00:46:31 Unless cosmic balance is reestablished,
00:46:34 it will mean the annihilation of all living things,
00:46:37 perhaps even the gods.
00:46:39 We cannot let this happen. We must stop it now.
00:46:42 Hercules and Urania,
00:46:45 you hold the fate of all that has been created in your hands.
00:46:49 I give you the sacred bomb you have come for.
00:46:53 Go and face the fire monster at once.
00:46:59 Are you all right?
00:47:04 Yes, yes, let's go.
00:47:07 ( thunder rumbling )
00:47:10 Where is she?
00:47:17 I don't know.
00:47:19 Glossia?
00:47:21 Glossia?
00:47:27 Would she have gone around that point?
00:47:32 Well, it's not like her.
00:47:34 It's strange.
00:47:36 Strange.
00:47:38 Look there.
00:47:44 It's a shield.
00:47:54 ( gasps )
00:48:00 ( dramatic theme playing )
00:48:03 I know this shield.
00:48:07 Whose is it?
00:48:09 It belongs to the high priest and to his soldiers.
00:48:13 The priest who invokes the fire monster.
00:48:16 That means they came here to get her and to sacrifice her.
00:48:19 They can't be far ahead of us. We'll reach her in time.
00:48:22 Great gods, don't let me die!
00:48:24 Oh, I beg! Please, please help me!
00:48:28 No, no, don't let me die!
00:48:31 I invoke thee, Antius.
00:48:35 Lord of fire, we offer you the last daughter of the jester.
00:48:41 Come!
00:48:44 Here is your victim.
00:48:46 ( gasps )
00:48:55 It's... ghastly.
00:48:59 No! No!
00:49:02 ( groans )
00:49:04 It's hell!
00:49:09 Hell on earth! Take it away!
00:49:12 ( screams )
00:49:16 No! No!
00:49:18 ( growling )
00:49:21 It's Antius!
00:49:24 Help!
00:49:26 Antius!
00:49:28 I am ready for you!
00:49:31 Oh, please!
00:49:33 ( screams )
00:49:36 ( screams )
00:49:39 ( growling )
00:49:42 ( zapping )
00:49:44 ( gasps )
00:50:05 ( sniffs )
00:50:07 ( sighs )

00:50:54 ( zapping )
00:50:58 ( zapping )
00:51:00 Antius is dead. We've been set free.
00:51:14 Hercules has found the fourth lightning bolt.
00:51:17 But this is only the beginning.
00:51:19 The beginning? We're rid of the monster.
00:51:22 The problem is not just Antius.
00:51:25 Our mother earth is in great danger.
00:51:28 And mankind will perish unless we can help Hercules find the three remaining thunderbolts.
00:51:34 I think Minos is up to his old tricks again, always experimenting.
00:51:41 We did not rebel against Zeus only to join forces with disaster.
00:51:45 No. We rebelled against Zeus to be free, completely free.
00:51:50 Should he succeed in collecting all his thunderbolts, Zeus will be back in full force.
00:51:56 Why hasn't Minos stopped him yet?
00:51:58 Minos doesn't need our advice.
00:52:01 The clashing of these two enemies is unavoidable.
00:52:05 Minos is preparing a nice little surprise for Hercules.
00:52:08 Oh, is he?
00:52:10 At this very moment.
00:52:12 Meanwhile, Flora is keeping Minos in check.
00:52:14 Yes. In fact, he asked that I appear before him.
00:52:17 Perhaps the three of us should appear. He's diabolically clever.
00:52:21 But Flora is the one who brought him back from eternal sleep.
00:52:24 He seems to trust her most.
00:52:26 He trusts no one. Let us hope for the best.
00:52:29 The stars be with you, Flora.
00:52:31 Thank you, Hera.

00:52:43 You're late in answering my call.
00:53:01 The gods have done what you wanted, Minos.
00:53:04 Yet Hercules succeeds in his mission.
00:53:06 He's found four thunderbolts while you... you just disappear.
00:53:10 You're acting as though you were a god.
00:53:12 I am much more than a god, Flora.
00:53:15 You're mad, Minos.
00:53:17 The time has come to dissolve the bond that ties me with foolish gods unworthy of my talents.
00:53:23 Those gods will annihilate you, Minos. Be careful.
00:53:27 Your concern for me is touching, especially since it comes
00:53:32 at the moment when you should be afraid for yourself.
00:53:35 Flora, goddess of spring,
00:53:38 I deliver you into the land of frost.
00:53:42 Of ice!

00:53:56 [♪♪♪]
00:53:59 The little people used to appear in this temple before the fire monster destroyed it.
00:54:11 If only I could call them back.
00:54:15 What is it, Urania?
00:54:20 I... I feel another presence.
00:54:24 It's strange. As if...
00:54:27 Urania, are you certain this is the place?
00:54:34 The temple has always meant a lot to the little people.
00:54:37 I've always talked to them, but now I can't feel their presence.
00:54:41 There is another way, although it's difficult and very dangerous.
00:54:44 - How is that? - I shall consult an oracle.
00:54:46 - What oracle? - The oracle of death.
00:54:49 Let me go now. I'll be back.
00:54:51 - Why the oracle of death? - The little people are spirits.
00:54:54 They're not of this world.
00:54:56 Have faith in me, Hercules, and wait for me.
00:54:59 Take this magic potion in your hands
00:55:15 and transmit your thought to me.
00:55:18 I shall hear it.
00:55:21 Sweet oracle of death, help me to reach the little people.
00:55:26 Drink the potion.
00:55:29 [♪♪♪]
00:55:42 [♪♪♪]
00:55:45 We're sorry we couldn't come to you, dear Urania.
00:55:57 But the Earth is a difficult place, even for spirits.
00:56:01 It's much safer here in the astral world,
00:56:04 amidst the stars, moons and planets.
00:56:08 [♪♪♪]
00:56:11 They say there is chaos here, too.
00:56:17 Where shall we ever take our poor spirits?

00:56:52 We know that you have come here, Urania,
00:57:08 to find out where the goddess Hera and her rebellious sisters
00:57:12 have hidden the rest of Zeus's thunderbolts.
00:57:15 Not even the gods have secrets from us.
00:57:18 You have been chosen to help Hercules retrieve the thunderbolts.
00:57:22 But you weren't told of the risks that are involved.
00:57:25 Zeus knows that for universal peace, you are ready to sacrifice all.
00:57:29 Yes, it will mean your life.
00:57:32 [thunder rumbling]
00:57:35 [screaming]
00:57:38 There's something strange about this old temple.
00:57:43 Urania and I have been here before.
00:57:45 And she'd come to consult the oracle?
00:57:48 Yes. She inherited her powers from her mother,
00:57:52 her adopted mother, a priestess of Corinth.
00:57:55 And her father?
00:57:57 We don't know.
00:57:59 But when her mother died, she was taken in by my parents in Thegesta.
00:58:03 And they've since died.
00:58:05 We have had a hard life, and that is why Urania and I are so close.
00:58:09 My family and ancestors had lived in Thegesta since time forgotten.
00:58:14 But after Antaeus descended upon us, all changed.
00:58:18 Now we only live to defend ourselves.
00:58:20 We're--
00:58:22 What was that?
00:58:24 What did you hear?
00:58:26 Something that came from that direction.
00:58:29 Are you certain, Glacia?
00:58:35 Well, I thought I did.
00:58:40 I already told you I had my misgivings.
00:58:43 [screaming]
00:58:45 Who are these people?
00:58:55 Women warriors! The Amazons of Scythia!
00:58:58 [laughing]
00:59:05 Be careful of the queen, Hercules!
00:59:09 She is the most evil of all!
00:59:13 [grunting]
00:59:15 [grunting]
00:59:28 [grunting]
00:59:30 Hercules!
00:59:49 [grunting]
00:59:51 [screaming]
01:00:00 The net! Throw the net on him!
01:00:15 What'll we do with her?
01:00:17 We'll come back for her later.
01:00:19 Yes, Captain.
01:00:22 [siren blaring]
01:00:24 Rise, Your Majesty.
01:00:50 Rise up from the fires, my queen.
01:00:53 Rise and let your burning flesh meld together
01:00:57 with the body of your victim.
01:01:00 You've a choice prize in your net,
01:01:11 oh queen of spiders.
01:01:19 Hercules.
01:01:21 Hercules awaits you, my queen.
01:01:25 Go. Leave me.
01:01:31 [fire crackling]
01:02:00 Urania!
01:02:02 Oh, Urania.
01:02:06 Colossus, what happened?
01:02:08 You bruised your head.
01:02:10 We've been attacked, and they took Hercules,
01:02:13 and they left me there thinking that I was dead.
01:02:16 Who? Who did it?
01:02:18 While fighting the Amazons.
01:02:20 The spider queen?
01:02:22 Yes. He's at her mercy. Caught in her magnetic web.
01:02:25 [grunting]
01:02:27 She's a monster who has assumed the likeness of a human.
01:02:31 There's little we can do, Urania.
01:02:34 I call to thee, powers of light.
01:02:39 Transfer unto Hercules thy energy to win.
01:02:43 Her love is evil. He must kill her, or he will die.
01:02:50 [grunting]

01:03:05 [grunting]
01:03:07 [music]
01:03:35 The fifth thunderbolt.
01:03:37 I deliver it to you, Zeus.
01:03:40 [laughing]
01:03:52 The goddess Hera was the instrument of my return to Earth,
01:03:56 but not the cause.
01:03:58 Fate needed me here. Now.
01:04:01 Needless. This is surely an important moment for science.
01:04:07 For me, the goal of science is to release chaos and disorder.
01:04:11 Needless.
01:04:13 Make me the ally of trickery and of chaos.
01:04:17 It'll serve you well.
01:04:20 I bestow cunning, connivance, and chaos.
01:04:30 [screaming]
01:04:32 We four gods are doomed, Hera.
01:04:42 It was a grave mistake to rebel against Zeus.
01:04:45 Poseidon is right.
01:04:47 Hercules has discovered the fifth thunderbolt,
01:04:49 and soon Zeus will shatter Minos.
01:04:51 No. Hercules cannot compete with Minos.
01:04:54 His science is invincible.
01:04:56 And once Hercules is defeated, we shall rid ourselves of Minos.
01:04:59 Invincible? Not from the looks of things.
01:05:02 Flora was instantly felled by the sword of ice.
01:05:05 You carry on so, and yet would consider yourselves gods.
01:05:09 You're like ordinary mortals, without dignity.
01:05:13 [screaming]
01:05:15 Yes, without dignity.
01:05:20 Science and chaos have given me the power to eliminate you all.
01:05:25 [laughing]
01:05:27 [laughing]
01:05:29 Flea, Aphrodite! Hera!
01:05:36 [lasers firing]
01:05:43 [laughing]
01:05:48 [lasers firing]
01:05:56 Beware, Minos.
01:05:58 [laughing]
01:06:00 Beware of what?
01:06:03 Of your quivering frame?
01:06:05 [laughing]
01:06:07 A goddess in my power.
01:06:11 You did not conquer us.
01:06:14 I admit we were all divided by jealousy.
01:06:17 But Zeus will have his day.
01:06:20 Zeus? [laughing]
01:06:22 Zeus is nil without his thunderbolts.
01:06:26 And with Hercules' help, they'll all soon be mine.
01:06:30 He'll not agree to that.
01:06:32 Oh, no, you're wrong, my dear Hera.
01:06:34 Hercules works for me, though he's not aware of it.
01:06:37 But now you shall tell me where the last thunderbolt is hidden.
01:06:41 Never.
01:06:44 Oh, I can wait.
01:06:46 Never is only a question of time.
01:06:49 Follow me. Where does this lead?
01:06:52 To the edge of the world. But we needn't fear, Hercules.
01:06:55 Then these are the wastelands of Hesperia,
01:06:58 the last bulwark before ascending Mount Olympus.
01:07:01 Our destiny takes us up through there.
01:07:04 Then lead on.
01:07:06 There are still two thunderbolts for you to uncover, oh Hercules.
01:07:10 Be patient, my son. I shall guide you to them.
01:07:14 [thunder rumbling]
01:07:17 Where are we now?
01:07:19 Shh! Quiet.
01:07:22 We're in the Temple of Echoes,
01:07:25 where the words of men reflect those of the gods,
01:07:29 where everything reflects itself.
01:07:43 [wind howling]
01:08:11 Look there. The reflected light of a thunderbolt.
01:08:15 The foolish gods have repented.
01:08:18 Yes, the gods have been graced.
01:08:22 Now, Zeus, it's time to crush the forces of chaos.
01:08:28 The time to fulfill our destinies.

01:08:43 [gasps] Glossia!
01:08:46 Glossia! One move and she dies.
01:08:49 The moment of truth is here. I'm not who you think I am.
01:08:53 Glossia's dead.
01:08:55 Yes, thanks to Glossia, I knew your every move, Hercules.
01:08:58 Now that you've found your true self,
01:09:01 Hercules, now that you've found the 6th thunderbolt,
01:09:04 it's time we faced each other.
01:09:06 Venus, not again.
01:09:09 Yes, I'm back, thanks to the gods.
01:09:13 Actually, I've been back for a while,
01:09:17 from that time at that lonely beach
01:09:20 when you lost sight of Glossia. Remember?
01:09:23 I had called upon Poseidon, and he commanded
01:09:26 that the waters drain the life out of the real Glossia.
01:09:29 [gasps]
01:09:32 [whimpering]
01:09:35 [whimpering]
01:09:44 Glossia, it's not possible.
01:09:52 How can it be?
01:09:54 Oh, we created an exact replica of the original,
01:09:57 better than the original, at least for us.
01:10:00 Her emotional and mental responses appear to be the same,
01:10:06 but we scientifically altered the course of her destiny.
01:10:10 She was not aware of it until this very moment.
01:10:14 Hercules, there's no need for us to fight.
01:10:17 With the aid of Chaos,
01:10:19 I have subdued the gods who rebelled against Zeus.
01:10:22 Alone, without the full array of his thunderbolts,
01:10:25 Zeus is no match for Chaos.
01:10:28 The future belongs to Chaos and to science.
01:10:32 Join us, Hercules. Come.
01:10:36 Never!
01:10:38 Very well.
01:10:40 [grunts]
01:10:43 [laughs]
01:10:45 Those foolish gods wanted him destroyed.
01:10:48 Instead, I shall use him.
01:10:51 Can you imagine? A mankind created in his image,
01:10:55 but scientifically programmed.
01:10:58 No error.
01:11:00 Glossia, my dear,
01:11:06 we no longer need you.
01:11:09 Get rid of yourself.
01:11:20 [gasps]
01:11:22 Excellent.
01:11:30 I'm sure, Urania, you know the way.
01:11:34 One must accept inevitable defeat.
01:11:39 I can only accept it as a challenge, Minos.
01:11:42 [laughs]
01:11:44 Very amusing.
01:11:47 [music]
01:11:50 Zeus!
01:12:04 You're viewing my sacred domain, dear Daedalus.
01:12:08 I'm simply returning the favor.
01:12:12 No, you can do nothing, Zeus, for though you are the light,
01:12:16 I am the darkness. Thus we are alike.
01:12:19 Except for one thing.
01:12:22 I possess time, for I am the son of Cronus.
01:12:27 Oh, father time!

01:13:11 I have failed, Athena, and allowed Minos to trick me.
01:13:16 It's yours, Hercules.
01:13:23 This shield will protect you from Minos and evil science.
01:13:32 But only if you can save yourself.
01:13:35 The moon shall crush the earth if Minos has his way.
01:13:39 He will sacrifice us all so as to reign in the name of chaos.
01:13:43 Hercules, go on to Olympic skies.
01:13:49 I've the gods in the palm of my hand.
01:13:54 My science has turned pure energy into battling warriors.
01:13:58 But we have the greatest warrior of all time, Minos.
01:14:02 [laughs]
01:14:05 Suddenly you're for Hercules.
01:14:09 [laughs]
01:14:11 We doubt he can change the earth's course.
01:14:14 Watch this!
01:14:17 [music]
01:14:34 [music]
01:15:02 [music]
01:15:05 There's one thing your magic shield won't protect you from, Hercules.
01:15:11 Pure energy.
01:15:14 Cosmic light.
01:15:21 The sun's fire.
01:15:29 Take this, Hercules.
01:15:32 It is of the same energy, and you shall be infused with it.
01:15:40 You are the heart and the force of the universe.

01:18:15 Minos challenged the universe and the very secret of life.
01:18:20 His savagery has been cancelled.
01:18:23 The maiden Urania is free, and the goddess Hera has repented.
01:18:29 Hercules did what no other man could have done,
01:18:33 but danger still lurks in the skies.
01:18:36 It could all be resolved by finding the last thunderbolt.
01:18:41 The oracles say it was hidden up here on Olympus.
01:18:45 But that's not so. How can the oracles lie?
01:18:49 It is here.
01:18:52 Your secret was revealed to me.
01:18:55 You, Hera, are my mother, and you hid the last thunderbolt within me,
01:19:01 in my heart.
01:19:04 And I am the final hiding place.
01:19:10 You're my mother, Hera.
01:19:13 Yes, it's true.
01:19:15 I created you from light, and I breathed life into you.
01:19:20 I had you formed with beauty and goodness,
01:19:23 but only to conceal what was hidden within you.
01:19:26 Yet I grew fond of you and often asked myself,
01:19:30 "Can she, would she ever feel love for me?"
01:19:35 And now...
01:19:39 And now, Mother, you must do what fate demands of you.
01:19:44 I gave you life, my child.
01:19:48 I never thought I would have to take it from you.
01:19:51 - You must. - Please don't.
01:19:53 Mother, this little time...
01:19:57 But isn't there hurry? How else can we save the world, my child?
01:20:02 Mother, give me the kiss of death.
01:20:08 Oh, love, my beloved daughter.
01:20:22 Oh, love, my beloved daughter.

01:21:20 Chaos has been defeated.
01:21:33 But if another threat arises, the Earth is surely doomed.
01:21:38 Can mankind withstand the dangers?
01:21:41 Only our fear can defeat us.
01:21:44 Man always finds a way to conquer.
01:21:47 - Not without the gods. - But I am here, am I not?
01:21:50 How can a man stop the Earth from colliding with the moon?
01:21:54 The way Atlantis did at the beginning of time.
01:21:57 My newfound powers shall belong to him, Hercules.

01:23:49 Now order is re-established.
01:24:01 Hera, you sacrificed what was dearest to you to save the universe.
01:24:09 And so I forgive you.
01:24:11 And forgive those gods who had lost faith and rebelled against me.
01:24:15 Let peace reign again and forever on Olympus and on Earth.
01:24:21 So be it. Forevermore.
01:24:25 To reward you for your sacrifice and Urania for hers.
01:24:30 I decree that she become one of the Muses.
01:24:34 Granting wisdom from this time on to man and to the gods.
01:24:40 Urania, goddess and muse of space.
01:24:44 Patron of astrology.
01:24:47 And you too, Hercules.
01:24:51 Greatest of men and savior of the universe.
01:24:55 You too shall dwell among the immortal gods.
01:24:59 And the example of your courage will shine in the heavens till the end of time.
