As seen on Charge TV, horrible comedy &amp; lack of star talent dooms this film.

As I&apos;m typing this, I discovered the movie on the terrestrial channel Charge TV at 2 a.m. I Googled &quot;Hercules Against Karate&quot; &amp; read a recap from one person who disliked it. To call this &quot;mindless kung fu action&quot; is an understatement. There&apos;s embarrassing stereotypical portrayals of Asians whose names have unfunny puns. One notable scene includes a bar fight scene where two Americans fight football fans. Even though the scene takes place in Sydney, Australia, (If you didn&apos;t watch the beginning of the movie, you likely missed seeing the town&apos;s famous bridge &amp; opera house and wouldn&apos;t be sure if the scene&apos;s in Sydney.) the Italian crew thought it&apos;d be a funny &amp; innovative idea to have the brawlers use American, not Australian football tactics. Also when I watch on TV some movie from the &apos;60s-&apos;90s that has an Italian crew, I&apos;d assume Bud Spencer would be in it, like &quot;Superfantagenio&quot; (which I saw on the MOVIES! channel as &quot;Aladdin&quot;). But I can&apos;t recognize the lead actor here, but maybe it&apos;s better I recognize nobody. I already had the bad movie experience of watching &quot;The Counselor&quot; which Brad Pitt was in but the star, among many, was Michael Fassbender. Anyway back to this movie. There&apos;s a really bad proportion of comedy to action scenes, as in there&apos;s way too much slapstick which is intended for yuks but I&apos;m just cringing silently. You&apos;d think films this crappy would appear on Netflix or even YouTube. But I think anybody who worked on &quot;Hercules Against Karate&quot; or in media knows better to put it on the Internet, &amp; somehow it finds its way in a rabbit-ear channel. In conclusion, two thumbs down, &amp; I better go to bed.
