Hercules Against Karate (1974)
Director: Antonio Margheriti
Writers: Sergio Donati, Luciano Vincenzoni

MPAA Rating: Not Rated
Synopsis: An obnoxious pretty boy and his dimwitted, musclebound sidekick travel to Hong Kong in order to steal a child from his gangster-loving mom.
Thoughts: I watched this turkey on Netflix in the middle of the night, so you'll excuse me if this particular motion picture doesn't seem entirely real. I can vaguely recall watching a hairy Italian giant and his wiry little buddy lock horns with a bevy of paper-thin villains, but I'll be damned if I can't remember how it was all connected. There might have been some cheap pratfalls, a few crude jokes, and a couple of misguided romantic trysts, but to be perfectly honest, I can't say for sure. The fact that the film remains in my RECENTLY WATCHED queue indicates that it exists on some level, but I'm almost afraid to re-watch the damned thing for fear that my recollection isn't nearly as entertaining as the feature itself. I do believe that I giggled and broke wind at some point, but that may have been involuntary. Make of this what you will.
Recipe For Success: Hairy Italian Man Falling Down + Lots of Terribly Racist Jokes + Tiny Asian Men Falling Down
