hercules, as lucky as he is strong and dumb, lands on the starboard side of a pan-american airliner, breaking his fall from grace and keeping him from smacking earth and exploding into a million bits of godliness.
the details are unclear, but it seems that hercules is robbed temporarily of his divinity (instead of given the 100-year "pluto treatment," which is what zeus told nemesis to deliver to him as punishment), so he is unable to lift the 1/2 ton barbell, and he loses.
hercules in new york is a b-movie because...the starring role is played by a guy who's been in the acting industry 30 years who, even after 30 years in the acting industry, has never acted.

Ending up in New York -- in case the title failed to give it away – the demigod is quickly befriended by sad sack Arnold Stang.
Hercules is most often involved in some rudimentary fish-out-of-water situation, such as his misconstruing a demand for ‘bucks’ and ‘dough’ from an angry cab driver.
Hercules is even described as coming from "out of the sky." One can only imagine the reactions of those who ran to their neighborhood theaters expecting another Conan the Barbarian.

As Hercules tries to make his way in the big city with Pretzie's help, he runs afoul of a crooked wresling promoter, gets mixed up with gangsters, rides his chariot through Times Square, descends into Hell, and dines at the Automat (which some contend is not unlike descending into Hell).

 The Schwarzenegger Project 2: Herc in New York
On earth, Hercules was lauded as the greatest of heroes, while on Olympus he is chiefly noted for his habit of stuffing his trunk-like thighs into a micro-mini skirt.
Hercules is bored in the realm of the gods, but Zeus will not permit him to visit earth, because, "these mortals are bedeviled by as aggravating a collection of annoyances as it’s possible for one to imagine," so adding Arnold to the situation would just be gilding the lily.
Hercules splashes down, and the next thing we know, he’s aboard a freighter—naked and glistening—toweling his massive physique in front of the crew and their flinty-eyed captain.

Hercules goes to New York, meets a goggly-eyed old man (Arnold Stang, surely often confused with Arnold Strong) and performs various feats of strength (wrestling an escaped bear in Central Park, throwing a javelin really really far), causing onlookers to gape in awe.
It all ends with Hercules going back to Mount Olympus, leaving his friend whining about his own loneliness for the remainder of his depressing life, I guess because life after hanging out with Hercules just isn't life at all.

Eventually, in a fit of rage, he throws a lightning bolt at Hercules and the explosion sends the demi-god down to Earth, passing an aeroplane on the way and surprising the passengers as he waves a cheery "hello".
Sadly, it has to be said Hercules in New York is found lacking - sure, it has camp appeal, but the whole affair is so low budget in the worst sense, with fluffed lines, wobbly camerawork and stilted acting that it looks punishingly amateur.
