Hercules Returns (reopening of The Revival House Como)

Perth's newest cinema - the newly sound-proofed Revival House at the historic Como Theatre - reopens on July 4th with this classic 90s Aussie comedy, presented on real 35mm film. Popular sessions at The Revival House can sell out so booking online is recommended. Please meet us in the lobby by 7:15pm so we can get seated and have a chat before the film at 8:00pm.

Join us for an unforgettable evening as we fire up the projectors once again and welcome back the magic of cinema to our beloved revival house. There's no better way to celebrate our return than with this cult Australian comedy masterpiece that perfectly captures the irreverent spirit of what makes repertory cinema special.

Des Mangan's hilariously dubbed Italian sword-and-sandal epic transforms a forgotten 1958 peplum film into comedy gold, featuring the adventures of our hapless hero Hercules as he bumps his way through ancient Greece with the help of his trusty sidekick Testiculi. This is guerrilla filmmaking at its finest - a brilliant example of turning creative constraints into comic genius.

Presented on original 35mm film print, you'll experience every grain and flicker exactly as intended, projected on the big screen where this kind of anarchic entertainment truly belongs. It's been too long since these walls have echoed with collective laughter, and we can't wait to share this special moment with our community of film lovers.

"This movie is piss-your-pants funny! I've watched it so many times and still laugh every time!" -- Rotten Tomatoes user.

"Hilarious. Effortlessly funny on multiple levels. An underappreciated gem that only occasionally gives you a rest from laughing." -- Rotten Tomatoes user.

"Probably the best aussie comedy ever written. Funnily enough, this Aussie cult classic was written by the host of SBS's Cult Movie Show, Des Mangan!" -- Rotten Tomatoes user.

Anyone and everyone are welcome - so don't be shy if you haven't met any of us before. We all came to Meetup to meet new people! And if you've got any questions please leave a comment or feel free to shoot me a message. Please also remember to keep your RSVP up to date.
