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.
00:00:59Empyrea was a goddess of fire and light, a goddess of fire and light, a goddess of fire

00:01:48of fire and light, a goddess of fire and light, a goddess of fire and light, a goddess of fire
00:01:55and light. The planet Earth was formed, together with its satellite, the moon. Then one day,
00:02:03the gods, the prime movers of the universe, gave life to an earthly creature, the mightiest,
00:02:11the most heroic of all men, Hercules.

00:07:35Many 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. But one day, foolish and envious gods stole the seven thunderbolts
00:07:59and unleashed the diabolical forces of evil and chaos.
00:08:29Be quiet, maiden. You disturb the gods. The altar is set. The appointed hour has come.
00:08:49The fires await her, silken flanks. To the altar! To the altar!
00:09:05Find her in her chains! No! No! I've done nothing!
00:09:15Quiet! Be still!
00:09:27Untie me! Cry not. It is an honor to be chosen. No! No!
00:09:35The moon is high. We are ready, my dear Antaeus. The city of Thragesta offers you another one of its daughters.
00:09:41No! Don't give me to the fire monster! You're privileged. This is your destiny.
00:09:47You must die so that your people will live on. No! Don't let him take me! He is evil!
00:09:55She is yours, Antaeus!
00:10:01No! No! No! No! No! No!
00:10:23No! No!
00:10:53No!
00:11:17Glacia!
00:11:18What is it?
00:11:20Antaeus! The fire monster! Ilia! Ilia's dead!
00:11:26I was there. The ghoulish fiend swallowed her in his flames, consumed her slowly.
00:11:33Oh, it was horrible.
00:11:36Who gives him his power? He'll swallow us all, Euryne. One by one.
00:11:50Why do our gods permit it? Why has our clan been chosen for this horror?
00:11:58No, don't blame the gods. You 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. You forget you're our chosen sister.
00:12:16Our fate is in your destiny. Has it revealed itself?
00:12:21No, I think it's too early, my sister. I have only the power to predict, not to prevent.
00:12:28It is said that you shall be the next victor.
00:12:34Ilia had come to me in a dream. I went to her, but it was too late. And now...
00:12:41I'd be willing to die to save our people. But what's the good? It'll only be in vain.
00:12:52He'll consume us, like he did Ilia. Antaeus is evil. He 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. I'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. Have faith, Glossia. I'll be back by morning.
00:13:53Little people, friends of Zeus. Oh, please, listen to my prayer.
00:14:10We know why you are here, Urania. Terrible things are happening in the universe.
00:14:14Even the gods have been led astray.
00:14:17Four of them rebelled against Zeus and stole his seven mighty thunderbolts.
00:14:21The secret, the key to all his powers.
00:14:25It is your fate that calls, and your coming here was already planned.
00:14:30The architects of the universe have lost control of the heavenly bodies.
00:14:34Our moon is coming towards us.
00:14:36Your destiny is interwoven in the celestial upheaval.
00:14:40And it will lead you to the one man who can help you.
00:14:44Who is he? Where can I find him?
00:14:46He's the strongest man who has ever walked the earth.
00:14:49A man called Hercules.
00:14:51Hercules is still...
00:14:53Yes, the invincible son of Zeus.
00:14:56It was he who divided the continents.
00:14:59As it was he who had formed the constellations.
00:15:02And who defeated King Minos and his vast empire.
00:15:06Yes, Hercules, the invincible.
00:15:08And yet nothing's been heard from him for ages.
00:15:11They say that Zeus sent him up to the heavens
00:15:14and placed him among the brightest stars.
00:15:16Destiny says it is you who must seek him.
00:15:19Go with Glaucia to the Forbidden Valley.
00:15:22That's where you shall meet him.
00:15:24Hercules.
00:15:25Yes, the invincible.
00:15:27Hercules!
00:15:42They are crying for Hercules, oh Zeus.
00:15:45And we seem immune to their suffering.
00:15:48I have hesitated.
00:15:50Because man must learn to stand on his own two feet.
00:15:54I blame our own gods if man has failed.
00:15:59I am not afraid.
00:16:01I am not afraid.
00:16:03I am not afraid.
00:16:05I am not afraid.
00:16:08I blame our own gods if man has failed.
00:16:12There 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 as 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 but to summon the greatest warrior ever known.
00:16:32He will stop the rebel gods
00:16:35and recover my seven thunderbolts.
00:16:41Hercules!
00:16:44Hercules!
00:16:46Return to Earth!
00:16:48Retrieve my seven thunderbolts, which allow me to maintain order.
00:16:53Make haste, Hercules,
00:16:55lest the planets destroy themselves and all living things.
00:17:05Hercules!
00:17:36Hercules!
00:17:50Hercules!
00:18:05Hercules!
00:18:35Hercules!
00:18:39Hercules!
00:18:45Hercules!
00:18:48Hercules!
00:18:51Hercules!
00:18:54Hercules!
00:18:59Hercules!
00:19:05Hercules!
00:19:35Hercules!
00:19:46Hercules is here on Earth
00:19:48and has already converted one of the seven thunderbolts.
00:19:52Should he find all seven, our plans will be shattered.
00:19:56No.
00:19:57The lightning lies in the bellies of monsters,
00:20:00and they roam in places inaccessible to man.
00:20:03You're right, Hera. Zeus will be destroyed,
00:20:06and as for Hercules,
00:20:08someone 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, Goras.
00:20:21He's ambitious, has few scruples,
00:20:24and 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.
00:20:37Flora!
00:20:39Flora!
00:20:40Flora!
00:21:00Ah, there you are.
00:21:03First you nearly blind me,
00:21:06and then you hide in shadow.
00:21:09Why have you summoned me to such a dreary place?
00:21:12You always wanted to know the secrets of darkness,
00:21:16and now your wish is about to be answered.
00:21:20Come.
00:21:40This is...
00:21:45It's the secret tomb of King Minos of Thera.
00:21:48Good for you, Goras.
00:21:50His cursed ashes lie here.
00:21:52But his knowledge and power cannot be imprisoned forever.
00:21:56Release them.
00:22:09Release them.
00:22:40He's nothing but bones.
00:22:42Of course, but through resurrection he shall rise again.
00:22:46But in order to have life,
00:22:49one must take life.
00:22:51Yours, Flora.
00:22:58Poseidon.
00:23:02Aphrodite.
00:23:05Hera.
00:23:09Minos can now be stirred from his eternal sleep.
00:23:13I have my misgivings, Flora.
00:23:15Minos was always up to mischief and deception.
00:23:18But we've the power to handle him.
00:23:21Flora did well to slay the warrior Goras.
00:23:35Now, the blood of this man
00:23:38will give life back to Minos.
00:24:08Minos.
00:24:39Who awakens me?
00:24:50It is you three.
00:24:56What do you want, Hera?
00:24:59Zeus has brought Hercules back to life.
00:25:02We need your help. He must be eliminated.
00:25:06And whatever you wish will be yours.
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.
00:25:35Hocus-pocus.
00:26:05Hocus-pocus.
00:26:36Oh, help! Help me!
00:26:38Easy. Calm down.
00:26:40I beg you, help me.
00:26:42They thought I was dead,
00:26:44but they took my friend Urania with them.
00:26:47Who took her?
00:26:49The slime people. They ambushed us.
00:26:52They rise out of the mud and mire and hold you by suction.
00:26:56Where did they go?
00:26:58Through the wild, towards a great mouth of stone.
00:27:02The Forbidden Valley.
00:27:04You should know that this is a very dangerous region.
00:27:17This way.
00:27:33Glacia?
00:27:38Urania.
00:27:41Hercules, I thought you were still...
00:27:44Hurry, there's no time now.
00:27:48No!
00:28:03Hey!
00:28:16Hold on.
00:28:19Good girl.
00:28:21Come on.
00:28:33Come on.
00:28:41Quick, inside the stone mouth.
00:28:43They're coming.
00:28:45Inside, inside.
00:29:02What was that?
00:29:03It could be the work of gods. Careful.
00:29:06But 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 were going to sacrifice me to something.
00:29:23Something that lives in here.
00:29:26The currents change direction at this point.
00:29:29The air flow takes this way.
00:29:31Come, follow me.
00:29:34Where do you...
00:29:35Quiet.
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?
00:30:06I am Euryale.
00:30:08Come into my palace.
00:30:26They look real.
00:30:32These statues, they look as quiet and still as mummies.
00:30:36As if the sculptor caught his subjects unaware.
00:30:41They have a very realistic look in the eye.
00:30:44They seem to be tense, quivering.
00:30:46There is nothing more beautiful than the human body
00:30:50caught in a moment of tension.
00:30:52Forever in stone, immortalized.
00:30:56Great deeds make us immortal.
00:30:59We can't all be so fortunate.
00:31:03Come.
00:31:12Where do you take us, Euryale?
00:31:14To safety.
00:31:16These caves are a labyrinth.
00:31:18It is very easy to get lost.
00:31:20Beyond these columns lies the way out.
00:31:23We didn't come in through here.
00:31:26You'll find another way out down there.
00:31:29Visitors on these lands are forbidden.
00:31:32I've led you safely underground through the Forbidden Valley.
00:31:38We thank you for your help.
00:31:41Fight them! Fight them!
00:32:12Wait!
00:32:20Hercules!
00:32:33Euryale is gone.
00:32:35She's one of the gargoyle monsters
00:32:37who turned men into stone at a single glance.
00:32:40These are the gods I'm looking for.
00:32:42Now that we're past the Forbidden Valley,
00:32:44we'll continue the journey,
00:32:45but you must leave this dungeon now,
00:32:47and I'll...
00:32:48Don't tempt the gods. You must go now.
00:32:55Wait for me. I shan't be long.
00:33:11I'm over here.
00:33:16Poor Hercules.
00:33:18King Zeus sent you on a long journey.
00:33:21What a shame it must end here.
00:33:24Be stilled forever like stone.
00:33:29With me.
00:33:31With me.
00:33:33With me.
00:33:35With me.
00:33:37Like stone.
00:33:39With me.
00:33:41I will find you! I'm coming!
00:33:44Yes, do come.
00:33:47Let me look at you.
00:34:02Hercules!
00:34:08Hercules!
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 you, really,
00:34:37and use my shield as a mirror.
00:34:45Hercules.
00:35:04Hercules.
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.
00:35:58Our purpose is the same.
00:36:00That is to kill.
00:36:02That is to kill Hercules.
00:36:05I must find a way to overcome the fire monster's radiant heat.
00:36:10I am not immune to the energy Antaeus releases.
00:36:13The little people use cunning against power.
00:36:15I think they will listen to me.
00:36:17Then let us go to the little people.
00:36:19But 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.
00:36:33And one of them is inside Antaeus' belly.
00:36:51It's so gloomy here, like a land of lost souls.
00:36:55That's what they are.
00:36:57Their dolls, hundreds of thousands.
00:37:02It's the work of a fiend.
00:37:05Once they were humans or demigods.
00:37:08This 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.
00:37:28If 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.
00:37:55I'm scared.
00:37:58I'm scared.
00:38:24Show yourself!
00:38:26I'm here.
00:38:28Let us cross the forest in peace.
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.
00:40:22The gods have always underestimated me, Daedalus.
00:40:25And they will be punished for it.
00:40:27For the sake of my honor.
00:40:30With this sword, science shall triumph.
00:40:37I give it to you now.
00:40:39It 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 La Kunt.
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.
00:41:12Where the fires are high,
00:41:14I invoke you, Clotho and Lachesis.
00:41:18What brings thee here, Urania?
00:41:22I am the god of fire.
00:41:25I am the god of fire.
00:41:27I am the god of fire.
00:41:29I am the god of fire.
00:41:32I am the god of fire.
00:41:35I am the god of fire.
00:41:38I am the god of fire.
00:41:40What brings thee here, Urania?
00:41:43You had made your choice.
00:41:45You found Hercules, and destiny is being fulfilled.
00:41:49Yes, and we thank you for it.
00:41:51And would ask you this.
00:41:53How can Hercules stand up to Antaeus and not meet his death?
00:41:56To your question, we do know the answer.
00:41:59But first, Urania, you must find the one and only substance
00:42:03that can give protection to man
00:42:06against the flames of the fire monster, Antaeus.
00:42:09It is the healing secret balm of Nonocryl,
00:42:13made out of drops of water from the River Styx.
00:42:17Where is it?
00:42:18You 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 leagues 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?
00:43:51Oh, what is that?
00:43:52Time is short.
00:43:53Take it.
00:43:55Didn't you say the little people always spoke the truth?
00:44:22The Sea Kingdom
00:44:45Look there.
00:44:47Yes, it's the Temple of Thetis, the Nereid.
00:45:18Welcome, my friends.
00:45:20Do not be alarmed.
00:45:22You don't see me speak, but you hear the projection of my thought.
00:45:26You've come in the name of Zeus, I know.
00:45:29We have very little time, and we need your help.
00:45:32It shall not be denied.
00:45:34The sacred bomb the little people spoke to you about
00:45:38was made with three drops taken from the river Styx that flows through Hades.
00:45:44If you spread the bomb from head to toe, you shall, for a short while,
00:45:48resist the incinerating flames of Antis, the 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, but not for long.
00:46:08The thunderbolts that were stolen from Zeus have caused havoc in the skies.
00:46:13The moon no longer obeys the earth.
00:46:16The tides have swum in the seas.
00:46:18You must find the remaining thunderbolts, or our planet shall surely be crushed.
00:46:23We'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 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. We must stop it now.
00:46:41Hercules and Urania,
00:46:44you hold the fate of all that has been created in your hands.
00:46:48I give you the sacred bomb you have come for.
00:46:52Go and face the fire monster at once.
00:47:02Are you all right?
00:47:03Yes, yes, let's go.
00:47:06Let's go.
00:47:16Where is she?
00:47:17I don't know.
00:47:19Glossia?
00:47:26Glossia?
00:47:30Would she have gone around that point?
00:47:32It's not like her. It's strange.
00:47:36Strange.
00:47:42Look there.
00:47:52It's a shield.
00:48:03I know this shield.
00:48:05Whose is it?
00:48:07It belongs to the high priest and to his soldiers.
00:48:11The priest who invokes the fire monster.
00:48:14That means they came here to get her and to sacrifice her.
00:48:17They can't be far ahead of us. We'll reach her in time.
00:48:20Great gods, don't let me die.
00:48:22Oh, I beg. Please, please help me.
00:48:26Help me.
00:48:28No, no, don't let me die.
00:48:31I invoke thee, Antius.
00:48:35Lord of fire, we offer you the last daughter of the jester.
00:48:42Come, here is your victim.
00:48:55It's ghastly.
00:48:58It's ghastly.
00:49:08It's hell.
00:49:10Hell on earth. Take it away.
00:49:17No, no.
00:49:23It's Antius.
00:49:25Help.
00:49:28I am ready for you.
00:49:30Oh, please.
00:49:57Oh, please.
00:50:27Oh, no.
00:50:58No.
00:51:12Antius is dead. We've been set free.
00:51:15Hercules has found the fourth lightning bolt.
00:51:18But this is only the beginning.
00:51:20The beginning? We're rid of the monster.
00:51:23The problem is not just Antius.
00:51:25Our mother earth is in great danger.
00:51:28And mankind will perish unless we can help Hercules find the three remaining thunderbolts.
00:51:37I think Minos is up to his old tricks again, always experimenting.
00:51:41We did not rebel against Zeus only to join forces with disaster.
00:51:46No, we rebelled against Zeus to be free, completely 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?
00:52:09At this very moment.
00:52:11Meanwhile, 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. He'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. Let us hope for the best.
00:52:29The stars be with you, Flora.
00:52:31Thank 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... you 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 that ties me with foolish gods.
00:53:17The time has come to dissolve the bond that ties me with foolish gods,
00:53:21unworthy of my talents.
00:53:24Those gods will annihilate you, Minos. Be careful.
00:53:28Your concern for me is touching,
00:53:30especially since it comes at 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!
00:53:47Huh?
00:54:07The little people used to appear in this temple
00:54:09before the fire monster destroyed it.
00:54:13If only I couldn't call them back.
00:54:18What is it, Urania?
00:54:20I... I feel another presence.
00:54:24It's strange, as 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?
00:54:45I shall consult an oracle.
00:54:47What oracle?
00:54:48The oracle of death. Let me go now. I'll be back.
00:54:51Why the oracle of death?
00:54:53The little people are spirits. They're not of this world.
00:54:56Have faith in me, Hercules, and wait for me.
00:55:12Take 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.
00:55:42We're sorry we couldn't come to you, dear Urania,
00:55:46but the Earth is a difficult place, even for spirits.
00:55:50It's much safer here in the astral world,
00:55:53amidst the stars, moons and planets.
00:56:12They say there is chaos here, too.
00:56:16Where shall we ever take our poor spirits?
00:56:41I'm not afraid of you.
00:57:06We 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.
00:57:28Zeus knows that for universal peace, you are ready to sacrifice all.
00:57:32Yes, it will mean your life.
00:57:34What?
00:57:36No!
00:57:38No!
00:57:42There'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.
00:57:50She 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.
00:58:00But 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.
00:58:07And 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?
00:58:24What did you hear?
00:58:26Something that came from that direction.
00:58:29Are you certain, Glacia?
00:58:32Well, I thought I did.
00:58:37I already told you I had my misgivings.
00:58:40Aaaaaaaah!
00:58:51Who are these people?
00:58:52Women warriors!
00:58:53The Amazons of Scythia!
00:58:56Be careful of the Queen, Hercules!
00:58:59She is the most evil of all!
00:59:26Yeah!
00:59:28No!
00:59:30Aaaaaaaah!
00:59:32No!
00:59:34No!
00:59:36No!
00:59:38No!
00:59:40No!
00:59:42Aaaaaaaah!
00:59:44No!
00:59:46Hercules!
00:59:48No!
00:59:50No!
00:59:52No!
00:59:55No!
00:59:57No!
00:59:59The net!
01:00:01Throw the net on him!
01:00:15What'll we do with her?
01:00:17We'll come back for her later.
01:00:19Yes, Captain.
01:00:25Rise, Your Majesty.
01:00:27Rise up from the fires, my Queen.
01:00:29Rise, and let your burning flame
01:00:31burn in my heart.
01:00:33Rise!
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, and let your burning flesh
01:00:55meld together
01:00:57with the body of your victim.
01:01:07You've a choice prize
01:01:09in your net,
01:01:11O Queen of Spiders.
01:01:19Hercules?
01:01:21Hercules awaits you,
01:01:23my Queen.
01:01:29Go. Leave me.
01:01:51Urania!
01:01:53Oh, Urania.
01:01:55Colossi, what happened?
01:01:57You bruised your head.
01:01:59We've been attacked,
01:02:01and they took Hercules,
01:02:03and they left me there,
01:02:05thinking that I was dead.
01:02:07Who?
01:02:09Who did it?
01:02:11While fighting the Amazons.
01:02:13The Spider Queen?
01:02:15Yes.
01:02:17He's at her mercy.
01:02:19He's at her mercy.
01:02:21Caught in her magnetic web.
01:02:27She's a monster who has assumed
01:02:29the likeness of a human.
01:02:31There's little we can do, Urania.
01:02:35I call to thee,
01:02:37powers of light.
01:02:39Transfer unto Hercules
01:02:41thy energy to win.
01:02:45Her love is evil.
01:02:47He must kill her,
01:02:49or 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
01:03:55of my return to Earth,
01:03:57but not the cause.
01:03:59Fate needed me here.
01:04:01Now, Daedalus,
01:04:03this is surely an important moment
01:04:05for science.
01:04:07For me, the goal of science
01:04:09is to release chaos and disorder.
01:04:11Daedalus,
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
01:04:53with Minos. His 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!
01:05:41No!
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
01:06:21will have his day.
01:06:23Zeus?
01:06:25Zeus is nil
01:06:27without his Thunderbolts.
01:06:29And with Hercules' help,
01:06:31they'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,
01:06:39and I'm aware of it.
01:06:41But now you shall tell me
01:06:43where the last Thunderbolt is hidden.
01:06:45Never.
01:06:47Oh, I can wait.
01:06:49Never's only a question of time.
01:06:53Follow me.
01:06:55Where does this lead?
01:06:57To the edge of the world.
01:06:59But we needn't fear, Hercules.
01:07:01Then these are the wastelands of Hesperia,
01:07:03the 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, I knew your every move, Hercules.
01:09:01Now that you've found the sixth Thunderbolt,
01:09:03it'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 beach
01:09:19when you lost sight of Glossia.
01:09:21Remember?
01:09:23I had called upon Poseidon,
01:09:25and he commanded that the waters
01:09:27drain the life out of the real Glossia.
01:09:33Glossia.
01:09:49Glossia.
01:09:51It's not possible.
01:09:53How can it be?
01:09:55We created an exact replica of the original.
01:09:57Better than the original.
01:09:59At least for us.
01:10:03Her emotional and mental responses
01:10:05appear to be the same.
01:10:07But we scientifically altered
01:10:09the 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
01:10:21who rebelled against Zeus.
01:10:23Alone, without the full array of his Thunderbolts,
01:10:25Zeus is no match for Chaos.
01:10:29The future belongs to Chaos
01:10:31and to science.
01:10:33Join us, Hercules.
01:10:35Come!
01:10:37Never!
01:10:39Very well.
01:10:45Those foolish gods
01:10:47wanted him destroyed.
01:10:49Instead, I shall use him.
01:10:51Can you imagine?
01:10:53A mankind created in his image,
01:10:55but scientifically programmed.
01:10:57No error.
01:11:02Glaucia, my dear.
01:11:06We no longer need 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 inevitable defeat.
01:11:39I can only accept it as a challenge, Minos.
01:11:44Very amusing.
01:11:59Zeus!
01:12:01You're viewing my sacred domain,
01:12:03dear Daedalus.
01:12:06I'm simply returning the 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.
01:12:25Oh, Zeus.
01:12:29No further time.
01:13:00I have failed, Athena,
01:13:02and allowed Minos to trick me.
01:13:09It's yours, Hercules.
01:13:16This shield will protect you
01:13:18from the dark forces.
01:13:20I will protect you.
01:13:22I will protect you.
01:13:24I will protect you.
01:13:26I will protect you.
01:13:29I will protect you from Minos
01:13:31and evil science.
01:13:33But only if you can save yourself.
01:13:36The moon shall crush the earth
01:13:38if Minos has his way.
01:13:40He will sacrifice us all
01:13:42so as to reign in the name of chaos.
01:13:44Hercules,
01:13:46go on to Olympic skies.
01:13:51I've the gods in the palm of my hand.
01:13:54My science has turned pure energy
01:13:56into battling warriors.
01:13:58But we have the greatest warrior
01:14:00of 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!
01:14:28Minos!
01:14:59There's one thing your magic shield
01:15:01won't protect you from, Hercules.
01:15:03Pure energy.
01:15:10Cosmic light.
01:15:18The sun's fire.
01:15:22Minos!
01:15:29Take this, Hercules.
01:15:35It is of the same energy
01:15:37and you shall be infused with it.
01:15:40You are the heart
01:15:42and the force of the universe.
01:15:44Hercules!
01:15:58Minos!
01:16:28Minos!
01:16:59Minos!
01:17:17Minos!
01:17:29Minos!
01:17:35Minos!
01:17:42Minos!
01:17:48Minos!
01:17:58Minos!
01:18:16Minos challenged the universe
01:18:18and the very secret of life.
01:18:21His savagery has been cancelled.
01:18:24The maiden Urania is free
01:18:26and the goddess Hera has repented.
01:18:30Hercules did what no other man could have done.
01:18:33But danger still lurks in the skies.
01:18:36It could all be resolved
01:18:38by finding the 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.
01:18:52Your secret was revealed to me.
01:18:54You, Hera, are my mother
01:18:56and you hid the last thunderbolt within me.
01:19:01In my heart.
01:19:04And I am
01:19:06the final hiding place.
01:19:10You're my mother, Hera.
01:19:13Yes, it's true.
01:19:15I created you from light
01:19:17and I breathed life into 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
01:19:29and often asked myself,
01:19:31can she...
01:19:33would she ever feel love for me?
01:19:36And now...
01:19:40And now, Mother,
01:19:42you must do what fate demands of you.
01:19:46I gave you life, my child.
01:19:48I never thought
01:19:50I would have to take it from you.
01:19:52You must.
01:19:53Please don't.
01:19:55Mother,
01:19:57this little time...
01:19:58But isn't there hurry?
01:20:00How else can we save the world, my child?
01:20:04Mother,
01:20:06give me the kiss of death.
01:20:18Oh, love.
01:20:20My beloved daughter.
01:20:50Mother.
01:21:20Chaos has been defeated.
01:21:23But if another threat arises,
01:21:26the Earth is surely doomed.
01:21:29Can mankind withstand the dangers?
01:21:32Only our fear can defeat us.
01:21:35Man always finds a way to conquer.
01:21:37Not without the gods.
01:21:39But I am here.
01:21:41Am I not?
01:21:43No, you are not.
01:21:45I am here.
01:21:47Not without the gods.
01:21:49But I am here. Am I not?
01:21:51How can a man
01:21:53stop the Earth from colliding with the moon?
01:21:55The way Atlantis did at the beginning of time.
01:21:58My newfound powers
01:22:00shall belong to him,
01:22:02Hercules.
01:22:04Grow, Hercules.
01:22:06Grow!
01:22:18Hercules,
01:22:20block the moon.
01:22:22Stop the Earth.
01:22:24Save mankind!
01:22:47Hercules!
01:23:17Hercules!
01:23:19Hercules!
01:23:21Hercules!
01:23:23Hercules!
01:23:25Hercules!
01:23:27Hercules!
01:23:29Hercules!
01:23:31Hercules!
01:23:33Hercules!
01:23:35Hercules!
01:23:37Hercules!
01:23:39Hercules!
01:23:41Hercules!
01:23:43Hercules!
01:23:46Hercules!
01:23:58Now order
01:24:00is re-established.
01:24:03Hera,
01:24:05you sacrificed what was dearest to you
01:24:07to save the universe.
01:24:09And so I forgive you,
01:24:11and forgive those gods
01:24:13who had lost faith and rebelled against me.
01:24:15Let peace reign
01:24:17again 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,
01:24:31I decree that she become
01:24:33one of the Muses,
01:24:35granting wisdom from 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.
01:24:47And you too, Hercules,
01:24:49greatest of men
01:24:51and savior of the universe,
01:24:53you too shall dwell
01:24:55among the immortal gods.
01:24:57And the example of your courage
01:24:59will shine in the heavens
01:25:01till the end of time.
01:25:09THE END
01:25:39THE END
01:26:09THE END
01:26:39THE END
01:27:09THE END
01:27:39THE END
