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.

00:01:56The planet Earth was formed, together 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.

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