Hercules (1997 film)/Awesome


  • Zeus gets one where he throws lightning bolts right at the Titans.

Zeus: HAHA, now WATCH your OLD MAN get to WORK!
Stone Titan: Uh-oh.

  • A memorable one would be at the climax, where Hercules brings Meg back from the dead while glowing in a Godly fashion, much to Hades' surprise ...and accentuates the awesome with a matter-of-fact punch that inverts Hades' face.
  • Hercules defeating the Hydra was an in-universe Moment of Awesome for the Thebans. Also applies to the audience.
    • "Yah did it, kid! Yah did it, you won by a landslide!"
  • The stunning "Zero to Hero" musical number.
  • Danny DeVito sings. The production team should be recognized just for talking him into it.
  • Anything whatsoever involving Hades. Frequently also a Funny Moments.

Hades: BRRRROTHERS, TITANS! LOOK AT YOU, IN YOUR SQUALID PRISON! WHO! PUT YOU! DOWN THERE?!

Titans: ZEEEEUUUUS!

Hades: AND NOW THAT I SET YOU FREE, WHAT IS THE FIRST THING! YOU'RE GOING TO DO?!!

Titans: DESTROY HIM!

Hades: ... Good answer.

  • Megara's whole, "Then read my lips! Forget it." Keep in mind, she's saying this to the Lord of the Dead...and she's still his slave at the time. Now THAT takes guts.
  • "That's Phil's boy!"
  • The titans blowing up. Just listen to the explosion.
  • Meg's "I Won't Say I'm in Love" makes her the first female Disney character to reject love. By the end she changes her mind, but I still say it was my favorite part of the movie.
    • It should be pointed out that male Disney characters never reject love either. Disney just isn't about having characters not reciprocate each other's affection.
  • "Gospel Truth" was just epic! The whole story telling song was awesome!
    • Starting right from the beginning, when the Muses step in and steal narration duties from none other than Charlton Heston:

Calliope: We'll take it from here, darling.
Narrator: You go, girl.

  • No mention of Hercules beating the Cyclops...WITHOUT his godly powers! For shame guys, for shame!
  • Also Megara pushing Hercules out of the way from the falling pillar, also doubles as a Tear Jerker. Meg said it best...

Meg: People do crazy things, when they fall in love.
