Despite the movie’s title, director and co-writer Rino Di Silvestro doesn’t seem to realize what his movie is supposed to be about, employing an ineffective kitchen sink approach that sees him mix a variety of elements with little apparent reason including reincarnation, lycanthropy, pseudo-scientific psycho-babble, horny Italians, and revenge drama.

If you’re wondering how it is that Hercules is even on the same continent as a llama, you don’t know much about the ancient world. Hercules (Mark Forest) and his buddies angered the gods (probably Neptune according to Hercules) and of course had their asses shipwrecked in South America!

Comin’ at Ya! (1981)
Everything you read about Comin’ At Ya! indicates that this is the movie that jumpstarted the 3-D revival of the early 1980s. As I watched it unfold though, I couldn’t help but wonder if this movie was made by opponents of the 3-D movement to sabotage it! Continue reading “Comin’ at Ya! (1981)”
