“Hercules” Goofs List
- Continuity: Hercules puts his hands in the water trying to reach Meg’s soul. Seconds later, when he jumps into the water, he is a hundred feet up on a cliff.
- Factual errors: All of the characters are referred to by their Greek mythological names except for Hercules. Hercules is the Roman equivalent to the Greek Heracles.
- Continuity: When Hercules is pulling the wagon into town because Penelope the donkey twisted an ankle, in one shot the donkey is not wearing a sling to support its leg, but in the next shot, it is.
- Continuity: When Meg finds Hercules behind the curtain, he is missing a wrist band on his left wrist. It reappears the next time we see him.
- Revealing mistakes: When Hercules is fighting the Hydra, he reaches into the ground and pulls out a slab of rock to throw at it. However, there’s clearly no hole in the ground from where the slab came from as he does.
- Factual errors: Narcissus is not a Greek God, and therefore would not be on Mount Olympus.
- Continuity: During the scene with Megara and Hercules by the fountain, the armless statue at the end changes into a man and a woman holding a ribbon between scenes. Also, during that scene, Meg and Hercules change locations around the fountain and the statue rotates with them.
- Continuity: When Hercules destroys the marketplace near the beginning of the movie, the pillars start falling outwards from the center of the circle towards the entrance of the marketplace. In the next part of the scene, the pillars are collapsing inwards towards the center of the circle and fall on each other before they crash on the pottery vendor.
- Continuity: When Hades is in the boat on the river Styx at the beginning of the movie, he throws a small steak to the huge three headed dog as he passes it. In the next shot, the steak is much bigger.
- Factual errors: In the movie Hades releases the titans from a place in the ocean or sea but they were supposed to be in Tartarus which is in the underworld The Cyclopes although brother to the titans was not a titan. There were three cyclopes brothers and they say Zeus put them there but Zeus’s grandfather Uranus did. Zeus actually freed them and Zeus was given the gift of thunder and lightning.
- Factual errors: Hercules did not ride Pegasus. Pegasus had one master Belleraphon.
- Factual errors: Hercules mentions defeating the Gorgan to Zeus. The Gorgan was defeated by Perseus.
- Factual errors: Zeus did not create Pegasus. Pegasus was created with the blood of the Gorgan touching Poseidon, who is the sea.
- Factual errors: In Phil’s house Hercules bumps his head on the mast of the Argo and he is surprised to hear what the wood was. Hercules was part of Jason’s crew on the Argo.
- Factual errors: The Fates did not wear black, but wore white.
- Factual errors: Hera, Hercules’ mom sent the two serpents to kill him as an infant.
- Factual errors: Alceme was Hercules’ real mom, so he was never 100 percent god.
- Factual errors: Zeus did not bestow the underworld on Hades. Zeus, Poseidon and Hades drew lots.
- Continuity: When Meg talks about her weak ankles, she sticks her left leg out in front of Hercules’ face. In the next shot, it’s her right leg that’s stuck out.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Phil admonishes Hercules, “Don’t let your guard down because of a pair of big goo-goo eyes,” he’s clearly mouthing the word “blue” instead of “goo-goo.” Originally, Meg’s eyes were originally going to be blue, but later on they were changed to purple to match her dress.
- Plot holes: Phil’s dream is to train a hero and have him placed in the stars. One of his “failures” is Perseus – a constellation. So Phil has succeeded already.
