Hercules Premier Photograph Club
April 1999

We've got a real potpourri here of photos from the first Hercules movies to one of the most recent episodes.

The "party animal" in the hat is, er, Hercules?! I couldn't resist this shot from "We'll Always Have Cyprus." The first interview I ever did with Kevin Sorbo we talked about Cary Grant and his skill at light, romantic comedies. Kevin loves those movies and so do I. Can't you just picture him in "Bringing Up Baby" with Katherine Hepburn, chasing after that panther!

This next shot, from "Greece is Burning," has got to be one of the funniest moments of the series. There was so much talk about the lemonade scene in "... And Fancy Free," that it looks like Michael Hurst (who directed this episode) decided to go the whole nine yards with this take on the "girls watching the workman drink Coke" television ad. The music, the slo-mo shots of the water pouring down -- I was on the floor with laughter. Hopefully, we'll be able to bring you more photos from this scene in the future.

And "Greece" also brought us the return of the Widow Twanky doing her best Mary Poppins imitation as she floated down from the rooftop using her parasol. How does Michael do it? Acting, directing and learning the song and dance routines for this episode! He's amazing.

"Love on the Rocks" gave Iolaus 2 his first taste of love. And the viewers another episode with Aphrodite. Alexandra Tydings has such fun with that character. Did you catch her calling Iolaus "curly from the swirly"? I wonder if the writers hang out in a San Fernando Valley mall before tackling her dialogue? And how long did it take the actress playing Nautica to learn to swim with that mermaid's tail! One last question that came to me while watching this episode again. Am I crazy or does Discord look a lot like Marie Osmond?!

The last four shots are from the Hercules movies "Circle of Fire," "Hercules in the Underworld," "Maze of the Minotaur," and the last one is also from "Circle." These shots were cleared for earlier months, but not used. The one of Hercules with the baby is my favorite. What a great daddy he makes.
