"That'll teach you not to waste a perfectly reliable twink." The laugh that line gave me, also Jak corpsing with the alligator and trying to read his lines.
9:32 Herkules is a common spelling of the name in the German language, same is true for the variation Herakles. Since Phoenix Games was from the Netherlands it isn´t too surprising to me that they used the spelling with a K, but I´m not sure how common that variation is in the Dutch language.
24:32 as a german, it took me 3 attempts to fully understand what Gollum was saying. Even Hercules just answers "was?" (what?). EVEN HE can't make out what he's trying to say. Amazing acting 10/10.
16:32 Oh the laughing fit at this part was delightful. Great episode Jak. Also, not surprised about Iolaus being both family and... *sigh* romantic interest... heck, Zeus and Hera had that stint for a while too... and in the Disney adaptation (and many others), she's incorrectly stated as being Hercules' mother.
Love your content man! Finally started my own channel and your one of my inspirations ha! Gave you a wee mention near the start just for the hell of it! Never realised there was soo many different Hercules games!
Fun fact about Phoenix Games, the animated movies inside their "games" discs were not commissioned to Dingo Pictures or any animated studio, they just took the movies, made some shitty minigames and just sold the games without any deal or permission by Dingo Pictures or other any other studios.
I can! I will! Anything is possible! I can! I will! I am unstoppable! I remember seeing the GoodTimes version in school. That song pops in my head randomly.
Man that low budget Legend of Herkules is freaking hilarious! I still can't tell if this movie is supposed to be for kids or not, it's so bad! They blew all their budget on that 3D pan. XD Never thought I'd see the Hee-dra heads cancelling the piss out of the middle head for it to commit suicide. I'm done! This needs to be watch one day when I'm piss drunk.
Poseidon is the Greek god of the sea. Of course he's a "useless bitch," as you called him. The oceans make him wet and therefore "completely useless now" (@Phelous' Old Man)
9:47. I knew it would be Phoenix Games. Just a glimpse of that logo not covered by your hand was enough for me to know.... How sad is that? 15:31. The Hee-dra!?!? 16:30. I'm glad you left that outtake in. It's always funny when someone cracks up over silly things like that. XD 19:50. When you said "God of War", I was expecting Kratos to show up... Silly me. 34:40. Ah yes, Golden Films. I only know about them thanks to Phealous' reviews. He's reviewed quite a few of their movies. Another entertaining video. I wouldn't be able to get through those awful movies by myself.
Hercules does what Nintendercules. Okay, but in all seriousness, whenever something becomes very popular (as well as lucrative), there are of course, going to be other folks who try (and fail) to capture the lightning in a bottle that is the original material that started it all. And the way I see it, there's no end in sight for any and all bootlegs/rip-offs.
Actually, in Latin "Idra" is pronunced like "Heedra" in english language. If you tell that to an italian, a spaniard, a portuguese or other latin-tongue speakers, they'll tell you all the same thing.
Golden Films' Hunchback of Notre Dame? More like *Handsome* of Notre Dame. Quasimodo despite his first appearance still looked very handsome, except a bit crooked back and a different hairstyle and then SPOILER - his back is now straight and his hairstyle is different. "Just perhaps my looks don't matter anymore..." Yes, now that he is considered handsome even though I already was handsome, my looks don't really matter anymore. Heh, they didn't try in the slightest... (THOSE EFFIN INSTRUMENTS! >_
Definitely worth trying to unsub and then re-subscribe to try and fix notifications, social media like Twitter and Facebook is usually the best place to stay up to date with uploads when TH-cam is being shit!
I wish Hercules 2 was a thing. Actually, no. Disney would have probably made it a cheap direct to DVD sequel back then. Maybe we would be kind of luckier if it happened nowadays
Jak I don’t know if you know these but another title from Phoenix Games, Peter Pan on PS2 actually steals artwork from a game that released five years prior: Destiny Islands, a location from the Kingdom Hearts series! Why Sony was ok with these releasing at all baffles me!
Dude you unearthed a terrible Hercules from my childhood, please do Mulan too! I think I had the Dingo Pictures Hercules and Mulan, and they've become a morbid curiosity of mine again in adulthood, we had a Danish dub of it too lmao
I fucking died at that crocodile part lol 34:06 SHEESH i've actually seen that when i was a kid lol don't remember if it's anything decent though, i guess just passable
Man such a rabbit hole Hercules media for Jak to dive into, honestly there's some other games based on the Greek Mythos that might be worth a look, Herc's Adventures on PS1 as an example, that Hercules TV Show that got a N64 game, you have the Clash of the Titans game based on the Remake about the tale of Perseus, Rise of the Argonauts. Also there was a Cartoon Series Based on Disney's Hercules as well that aired for a bit as well, thought Jak should know.
You know Disney's Mulan has two games right(Technically, plus a bootleg)? I request you review the Gameboy game. The other one is an interactive animated storybook, like what Disney did with a few of their other movies and properties.
Tell u a game I know you’d love to play and review and I know your probably sick of hearing this but Rachel and clank: a rift apart on the ps5 (if u ever managed to get one) is a phenomenal game and right up ur ally great platformer good story and a really fun time
@@K.J.S.est1994 Do you know which track in particular? I just listened to the Wii Sports OST and couldn't find it. Edit: Nvm found it. It's the Boxing Results screen!
Hi Jak really enjoy your reviews, recently I've been going back and playing the Gex Trilogy and it would be great to see you go back to your roots and review some PS1 platforming games again (well the first one was originally released on the 3DO with a save feature that was removed in the ports) I really enjoy the games and he's had a new trademark filled so would be great for the games to get more exposure, I highly recommend them as I always saw the trilogy as a close third behind Crash and Spyro on the PlayStation
Yeah. That's _one thing_ I _will_ give Phoenix Games credit for: they _did_ stick closer to the original Hercules myth than Disney did. But I guess Disney had to do that. Guess you can't have incest and adultery in a "family friendly" Disney film. At least not until the 2020s.
This is a great video but I am shocked you missed Heracles Chariot Racing on PS2 since it was a spin-off (sequel?) to Heracles: Battle With The Gods Which you did all the way back with that MiDAS video back in 2018, that is just a nitpick for a great video however but I was wondering that when I was watching the video.
Oh I haven't heard of that, though the Heracles PS2 game isn't exactly a ripoff of the Disney property so I didn't fully include it. Will have to sus chariot racing in the future though for sure!
"That'll teach you not to waste a perfectly reliable twink."
The laugh that line gave me, also Jak corpsing with the alligator and trying to read his lines.
What can I say? This was such a fun video to make! 😂
Man, I loved that part of Hercules 2: The Squeakquel where Hercules shot anime fairies and beat the shit out of Marge Simpson.
9:32 Herkules is a common spelling of the name in the German language, same is true for the variation Herakles. Since Phoenix Games was from the Netherlands it isn´t too surprising to me that they used the spelling with a K, but I´m not sure how common that variation is in the Dutch language.

Your getting so close to 50k I’ve been watching this channel for years and it has changed so much in the quality of editing.
Keep up the good work!
you forgot about Young Hercules & finally Hercules Xena movie
Mondo Tv is also the same studio responsible for distributing that Titanic ripoff movie, and these batshit insane rip offs of other Disney movies.
Love your content man! Finally started my own channel and your one of my inspirations ha! Gave you a wee mention near the start just for the hell of it! Never realised there was soo many different Hercules games!

Officially licensed bootlegs of unofficial knockoff movies?
Sheesh.
So Pheonix Games stole these films from Dingo Pictures?
Ouch.
@@ChaseMC215 Yyyup.

That's dumb.
Very interesting and different episode but a very welcome one. Loved your laughing fit too, so contagious lmao

Yes you’re talking about Phoenix games again! You made my day

Thank you for reminding me of that absolutely gorgeous animation, Jak. Timeless classic.

Hercules gets killed by his wife. That’s what he gets for abandoning his boyfriend, lol.

ayoo LMFAOOO 36:20 I'M CRYING
THAT WAS BEAUTIFULLY DELIVERED LMAOO
16:32 Your laugh reminds me of Joel from Vinesauce’s laugh!
17:35 to 17:42 completely broke me haha
Video idea! “Top 10 Phoenix Games”
This review of titles was quality mate laughed out loud so many times :)
You missed The Adventures of Young Hercules, by UAV Entertaiment. Check that out!
Golden Films and Burbank Hercules films: Exist
Me, an avid fan of Phelous: We know what needs to be done.
That last movie giving Hercules CAT EARS cause of the lion skin I mean, lord that looks so dumb XD
41:48 “Only now… can we all understand… what it feels like… to finally… to finally die” -Jak, Ty GBA Games Review
9:47. I knew it would be Phoenix Games. Just a glimpse of that logo not covered by your hand was enough for me to know.... How sad is that?

Another entertaining video. I wouldn't be able to get through those awful movies by myself.
Thanks for putting up with this crap all of the time you definitely make people's days better hope you have a great one yourself
7:41 The Lions look like Manticores to me. Weird game
A 40 minute Squack episode, Herctober is here!
6:29 Hercules is doing the Jack pose!
Haha it looks like those birds in the jars on the flying stage were lifted straight out of Aladdin on the SNES!!
Hercules does what Nintendercules.

What a great work, you are my fav video games youtuber
Those are the guards and skeletons from Aladdin SNES 5:00
this video had to have been a mental check. good LORD bro HAHAHAHA
I remember Herkules from The Frollo Show, he was called Best Hercules
Actually, in Latin "Idra" is pronunced like "Heedra" in english language. If you tell that to an italian, a spaniard, a portuguese or other latin-tongue speakers, they'll tell you all the same thing.

@@SquareEyedJak ok noted
Jak does video reviews just as great as game reviews
the dingo pictures hercules reminds me of the time i was laced with bath salts
I wish Hercules 2 was a thing.
Actually, no. Disney would have probably made it a cheap direct to DVD sequel back then.
Maybe we would be kind of luckier if it happened nowadays
He looks like the boss from the office
Nice to see some Aladin enemies in this bootleg of Hercules.
Much love jak! Thank you for all the effort & dedication bless you man
lmao i love these reviews old styled yet professional

Little Mermaid movie bootlegs are brutal..
GOAT
3:47
Wouldn’t it make more sense to separate the Zeroes from the Heroes?
Dude you unearthed a terrible Hercules from my childhood, please do Mulan too! I think I had the Dingo Pictures Hercules and Mulan, and they've become a morbid curiosity of mine again in adulthood, we had a Danish dub of it too lmao
For HawkTober, you should do a THUG Pro review!

I fucking died at that crocodile part lol
34:06 SHEESH i've actually seen that when i was a kid lol don't remember if it's anything decent though, i guess just passable
If you ever need some German translation I'll gladly do it.
Do more bootleg videos theres so much remember all of the bootleg didney films in thr 90s hahaha
Let me give you a hand. HOLY FUCK JAK 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Almost died laughin
Such a great video, would love to see you review more movies down the track!
Heedra is actually more accurate to the Greek pronunciation
Bootlegs, bootlegs everywhere!!!!
Dingo pictures has a certain charm too it
I love the last one. It’s my favourite
Nice jontron burn.,_• hahaha
17:34 BRO NOOOO LMAOO WTF
18:43 LMFAO
Im at work rn, but i cant wait till i watch your video while i eat my dinner tonight😃👍

Great video. I really liked the movies And it's cool to have another open bi gamer
What
Legend of herakles cutscenes remind me of Zelda cdi 😂
19:47 Cmon man, you can clearly see it is attached to his cape lol
Of course but the way it like wags around like a little puppy made me laugh, I guess it's from the wind but it looks awful ahaha.
@@SquareEyedJak I gotta agree with you there, it does look awful 😂
Technically Hercules can’t be ripped off because it’s public domain
Great video!
Keep those dingo productions movies coming, is always fun to react how bad those are.
Believe it or not, I liked The Golden flims 1 34:36
Now.. how about the Glory of Heracles JRPG series? :P
30:10 Am I watching Hercules or Asterix ?
And the Hercules of Golden Films looks like Gaston from the Beauty and the Beast
You should see what Frollo looks like in their Hunchback of Notre Dame movie. He looks more like Gaston there, even down to his clothes.
Came for the thps stayed for the Hercules
2:06 This is not Hercules.
But is that really a bad thing? You said it; she looks FINE.
For some reason you haven't been showing up in my feed recently. I unsubbed and resubbed so hopefully that will fix it. This is a great vid!
Don't be upset, Jack. I am subscribed. And that reminds me: When are you coming to my Twitch channel to watch me play Hercules on the Gameboy?
Please do a CTTR Play-Through from start to finish
16:31 LMMAO
Tell u a game I know you’d love to play and review and I know your probably sick of hearing this but Rachel and clank: a rift apart on the ps5 (if u ever managed to get one) is a phenomenal game and right up ur ally great platformer good story and a really fun time
Nice!
You should do movie reviews
I wonder what game is next to review another Phoenix game
What is that background music at 33:27? I recognise it but I just can't put my finger on it...
Wii Sports

And so Phoenix games rises from its faecal ashes to strike back at our hero once more XD
22:33 Bluhgh! I'd rather have English _subtitles_ written by someone for whom English is its 5th language!
25:10 And lo and behold! That's what I get!
Yeah. That's _one thing_ I _will_ give Phoenix Games credit for: they _did_ stick closer to the original Hercules myth than Disney did.
But I guess Disney had to do that. Guess you can't have incest and adultery in a "family friendly" Disney film. At least not until the 2020s.
You should finish the first gta jak that series was hilarious 😂😂😂😂
Not really a bootleg unless its heavily based on disney's version
This is a great video but I am shocked you missed Heracles Chariot Racing on PS2 since it was a spin-off (sequel?) to Heracles: Battle With The Gods Which you did all the way back with that MiDAS video back in 2018, that is just a nitpick for a great video however but I was wondering that when I was watching the video.

This was just wild from start to finish, jesus christ xd
