The same station that showed the Sons of Hercules movies also showed those French Lemmy Caution movies with Eddie Constantine, also badly dubbed, and I watched all of those, too, so I guess I was used to it. Channel 11 was my favorite station back then. They had the Tarzan movies, too, and the best cartoons.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-18076522127134773982010-08-29T15:53:17.115-05:002010-08-29T15:53:17.115-05:00James, when I was a kid I enjoyed watching these t...James, when I was a kid I enjoyed watching these types of movies when they were grouped under the umbrella title SONS OF HERCULES.
