{{trope}}
'''''Hercules Against the Moon Men''''' is a 1964 [[Sword and Sandal]] movie. The movie, like ''[[Colossus and The Headhunters]]'', isn't actually a ''[[Hercules (Film)|Hercules]]'' movie but a ''Maciste'' movie, with [[Market-Based Title|the name changed for US release.]]

Somewhere in the ancient Mediterranean world, a ship from the Moon crashes into a mountain, and the occupants insist on getting human sacrifices at what is now the "mountain of death". Enter our hero, "Hercules," played by Alan Steel. Hercules helps free the sacrificial victims, but the Queen of Samar is in league with the Moon Men now, and sends her armies out to stop Hercules. Swordfights and [[Panty Shot|buffalo shots]] ensue. Then, the Moon Men reveal their master plan to revive their dead queen and merge the Moon with the Earth. Can the Herc get to the mountain in time to save the girl and the world?

* [[God Save Us From the Queen]]: Samara
* [[Panty Shot]]: Hercules wears nothing but a loincloth in most scenes, leading to plenty of these.
* [[Surprisingly Sudden Death]]: Herc and Agar's father are moseying through a secret tunnel, then suddenly WHAMMO! spikes shoot out of the wall to [[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice|impale]] the old guy.
* [[Take Over the World]]: What the Moon Men plan to do with the power from all their sacrifices.
