Hercules and the Lost Kingdom (1994)

The second Hercules movie follows the handsome hero as he goes on a legendary journey (see what I did there?) to find the city of Troy. But his jealous stepmom is on the rag again, so things won’t be plain sailing.
The social issue under review this time is slavery, both the kind that’s out in the open and the kind that rules our lives as individuals; i.e. the freedom of choice versus the controlling will of destiny.
Like Lucy Lawless did in the previous film, Renée O'Connor provides female support but not as her Xena character Gabrielle.
