Snow White Tigress, Ashen Enchantress, Queen of Atlantis: Sybil Danning in 1983's "Hercules." Lou Ferrigno was reportedly quite physically intimidated by the formidable Danning, demanding a revamped script that resulted in a substantially reduced role for her.

Im watching blood on melies moon which i just got on bluray and in the introduction the director and writer Luigi Cozzi talks about some of the making of the movie.

And he says he regrets not paying to use it but he had virtually no budget for the movie.

Copyright really can be a roadblock for indipendant creators

Give now to Hercules the size and height he calls for! Seɪ-Mi-Si-Lɛm Memem Nonacta!": The dazzling Italian actress Mirella D'Angelo as Circe The Sorceress in the wondrously bonkers 1983 "Hercules" redux. She had memorably played the razor-through-the-blouse victim in Dario Argento's "Tenebrae" the year prior. Her Circe is knee-staggeringly fabulous -- she gets one of two magnificent face reveals in the film -- and she exhorts these epic prayers to the gods that I memorized (and okay, invoked) as a kid. D'Angelo, for the record, was the ideal choice to essay Castaspella or even Catra in the '80s live-action adaptation of "She-Ra" that should've been
