Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Michael_Elliott The Three Stooges Meet Hercules (1962) ** (out of 4)Moe, Larry and Curly Joe are drug store workers who find themselves in a mess when they mess around with their friends scientific machine. Pretty soon they're all taken back to 900 B.C. where they end up in a Roman battle going up against Hercules (Samson Burke).THE THREE STOOGES MEET HERCULES is obviously far from a classic film or even a good film for that matter. With that said, as was the case with a lot of the features from this era, they were made for kids and I think most young fans will enjoy it. It's obvious that one shouldn't be expecting the early Stooges because, well, these guys here are much older and the material isn't nearly as good either.With that said, I did think there were some excellent moments scattered throughout the picture. The highlight has to be early on after the Stooges are mistaken for Gods and taken to the King's palace where they have feast. There's some truly hilarious moments between Curly Joe and Hercules as well as an escape plan that also gets some huge laughs. The slave ship sequence was also pretty good but after these moments is when the film really fell apart and there just weren't enough laughs to make it worth sitting through.Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Joe DeRita were all in good form here and Vicki Trickett made for a great looking lead. I thought Burke was pretty good in the role of Hercules as well and I really liked some of his comic timing when he was getting beaten or having accidents happen around him.

capone666 The Three Stooges Meet HerculesWhen time traveling back to ancient Greece, remember to bring back plenty of autographs.The morons in this comedy, however, rewrote history instead.Moe (Moe Howard) Larry (Larry Fine) and Curly Joe (Joe DeRita) become chummy with their neighbour, Schuyler (Quinn Redeker), who just built a time machine.Schuyler, the Stooges and Schuyler's girlfriend Diane (Vicki Trickett) take the machine back to ancient Ithaca.Accidentally altering history along the way, Schuyler and the Stooges are exiled to the galleys by the new King Odius (George N. Neise), who wishes to take Diane for his wife.But the boys and their benefactor plot to depose of the wrongful ruler with help from Hercules (Samson Burke).The Stooges' third feature film, this Herculean outing may lack the original lineup but it's not short on their asinine antics.Furthermore, if the Three Stooges rewrote history, universal heath care would have to be mandatory.

DavidHuggett I was a big fan of the three stooges back then and this was the first feature movie I saw, and it was at a drive in. I think I was in my pyjamas when I at the drive in. The most memorable part of the movie was when the three stooge were in a jail cell and cut through a bar to escape. The bar was attached to a small table on the above floor where Hercules was eating grapes or something. In their attempt to escape the jail cell the three stooges push the bar up and hence push the plate of grapes into Hercules face which infuriates him. There begins a game push and tug with the table and the jail bar. I don't know why I remember this through all these years but I do. I was young at the time and impressionable. Now all these people I watched are now dead.

slymusic "The Three Stooges Meet Hercules" is considered by many Stooge fans to be the best feature film the boys ever made, and while it is not my personal favorite Stooge feature, I do concur that this film is quite excellent. Wonderfully directed by Edward Bernds, with a very good music score by Paul Dunlap, this film is a time-travel adventure story, with Moe, Curly-Joe, and Larry cast as pharmacists who help their friend Schuyler Davis (Quinn Redeker) with his bizarre space-time conveyor. Schuyler, his girlfriend Diane (Vicki Trickett), and the Stooges all take a trip from New York back to Ancient Greece, approximately 900 B.C.My favorite scenes from "The Three Stooges Meet Hercules" include the following (DON'T read any further if you haven't yet seen this picture). At the pharmacy, Larry and Curly-Joe try to concoct their own elixirs, and they make a huge mess instead; particularly funny is Larry's act of accidentally hitting Moe in the back of the head with a flying bottle. Familiar Stooges character actor Emil Sitka has a small but humorous part as a shepherd who gives confusing directions. The Stooges clumsily attempt to break Ulysses (John Cliff) out of jail (reminiscent of the Stooges' earlier 1947 short "Out West"). When the boys try to repair Schuyler's time machine, they accidentally set off some fireworks. The Stooges disguise themselves as women when they find themselves in a women's bathing area, but their disguises don't last very long. On the galley ship, the Stooges overpower their captors, and Larry & Curly-Joe dance around the ship while Moe bangs the slave master's drum."The Three Stooges Meet Hercules" is a very enjoyable feature-length comedy. The supporting cast consists mostly of unknowns, but they do first-rate work. In addition to Quinn Redeker, Vicki Trickett, and Emil Sitka, there are Samson Burke as the mighty Hercules, Gene Roth (who appeared in various earlier Stooge shorts with both Shemp and Joe as the third Stooges) as a harbor captain, and George N. Neise as two lecherous heels: Ralph Dimsal (head of the pharmacy where the Stooges & Diane work) and Odius (the undeserving king of all Ithaca).
