MST3K 410: Hercules Against the Moon Men

Then, to pick up commenting again, I went straight back to another "muscles 'n' mythology" movie... although, in place of 1980s hair, we get 1960s hair in "Hercules Against the Moon Men." It's one of the three "Hercules" movies, each one featuring a different well-endowed actor in the title role, that the series featured in its fourth season. (As it turns out, though, this movie seems to have started not as a "Hercules" movies, but as a "Maciste" movie, the character who managed to keep his own name in the dialogue if not the title of "Colossus and the Headhunters"... not that it really seems to matter.) It did happen that after making my decision of what episode to watch, I realised this one features the origin of a sort of Mystery Science Theater catchphrase, "Deep Hurting..."
