Did You Know?
| Trivia | According to an interview with director Luigi Cozzi, the movie wasn't planned as a sequel to Hercules (1983). He was asked by the producers Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus to film scenes for The Seven Magnificent Gladiators (1983) to save it. After they saw what he filmed, they asked him to write a story around the scenes, and make a few more with Lou Ferrigno, not telling him that he was involved in a sequel to Hercules (1983).
