The Three Stooges Meet Hercules is a 1962 American comedy film directed by Edward Bernds and starring Larry Fine, Moe Howard, and Joe DeRita. The film was produced by Normandy Productions and released by Columbia Pictures. It is the second of two feature films featuring the Stooges made in the 1960s after their 23-year run as short film stars.

The premise of the film is a modern-day Hercules, played by Samson Burke, who is approached by the god Mercury and tasked with returning to ancient Greece to defeat the evil King Odius, played by George N. Neise. However, Hercules is reluctant to return because he has fallen in love with a woman named Princess Doreena, played by Vicki Trickett, and does not wish to leave her. Mercury then enlists the help of the Three Stooges to help Hercules complete his task.

The Three Stooges, in their usual slapstick humor style, reluctantly agree to help and are transported back in time to ancient Greece. They soon find themselves caught up in the middle of a battle between Hercules and King Odius. Along the way, they encounter various Greek personalities, including Jason and the Argonauts, Zeus, and Cerberus, the giant three-headed dog.

Despite their bumbling antics and misadventures, the Stooges ultimately help Hercules defeat King Odius and save Princess Doreena. In the end, Hercules returns to modern-day America, and the Stooges are left to celebrate their success.

The film received mixed reviews upon its release, with some praising the humor and others panning the Stooges' brand of comedy as outdated. Despite this, it has since become a cult classic and is still frequently referenced in popular culture.

Overall, The Three Stooges Meet Hercules is a lighthearted and entertaining film that showcases the classic comedic stylings of Larry, Moe, and Curly Joe. It may not be their most critically acclaimed film, but it is certainly an enjoyable romp through ancient Greece with some of the most beloved comedians in cinematic history.

The Three Stooges Meet Hercules is a 1962 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 28 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.1.
