**Coconutdaddy's Movie Pick: Hercules in New York (1970) - Schwarzenegger’s Olympian Misadventure**
Gather 'round, film buffs, because Coconutdaddy has unearthed a cinematic gem that’s so delightfully absurd, it could only be from the '70s. Let’s take a muscle-bound stroll through the hilariously bizarre world of *Hercules in New York* (1970), starring none other than a very young Arnold Schwarzenegger (credited as Arnold Strong), Deborah Loomis, James Karen, and Ernest Graves.
**Arnold Schwarzenegger: The Muscular Demigod**
Before he was the Terminator or the Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger was Hercules—yes, you heard that right. Watching Arnold flex his way through New York City is like watching a coconut try to navigate a fruit salad—it’s big, out of place, and absolutely hilarious. His Austrian accent was so thick that it was dubbed over for the film’s original release, making this movie an unintentional comedy goldmine.
**Deborah Loomis: The Love Interest**
Deborah Loomis plays Helen, the unsuspecting love interest who has to deal with the fact that her new beau is a literal Greek god with a penchant for causing chaos. Her performance is like a refreshing splash of coconut water amidst the film’s nuttiness—calm, collected, and entirely endearing.
**James Karen and Ernest Graves: The Supporting Cast**
James Karen as Professor Camden and Ernest Graves as Zeus round out the supporting cast with performances that add a touch of gravitas to the film’s otherwise zany plot. Imagine Zeus sitting on his throne, hurling insults like coconut shells while his son wreaks havoc in the Big Apple. It’s sheer madness and utterly entertaining.
**A Plot Filled with Olympian Shenanigans**
The plot of *Hercules in New York* is as outrageous as it sounds. Hercules gets bored on Mount Olympus and decides to take a trip to Earth, landing in the hustle and bustle of New York City. Chaos ensues as he wrestles with everything from taxi cabs to bodybuilders, all while delivering lines that are as wooden as a coconut tree. It’s a fish-out-of-water story with a muscle-bound twist that you won’t soon forget.
**The Coconutdaddy Verdict**
So, why did Coconutdaddy pick *Hercules in New York* for this week’s movie spotlight? Because it’s a fantastically funny disasterpiece that showcases the humble beginnings of an action legend. It’s a perfect reminder that even the greatest heroes have to start somewhere—even if that somewhere is a low-budget romp through New York City.
