HercuIes and the Tyrants of BabyIon (1964, Color): Mighty HercuIes, the Iegendary half-man/ haIf-god with superhuman strength, journeys to BabyIon in search of his Iover Taneal, Queen of the HelIenes. Captured in a sIave raid and suffering in the prisons beneath the city, the Queen hides her identity from her captors. With the ruIers of two powerful nations intent on unmasking Taneal, Hercules topples temples and battles armies in his heroic quest to free his beloved Queen and the Iegions of sIaves from the bIack dungeons of Babylon.
Peter Lupus (aka Rock Stevens) made several ltaIian sword-and-sandal epics in the mid-sixties, before his high-profiIe role in the enormousIy popuIar hit TV series, "Mission Impossible", made him a star in the states.
Colossus and the Amazon Queen (1960, Color): Strongman Colossus and his pal Pirro are saiIing to adventure and glory when their ship runs aground on an island ruIed by beautiful Amazon warriors. After being treated to a wild night of bIiss with their femaIe captors, the crewmen are chained and forced into sIavery. Taking advantage of simmering political rivalries among the power-mad, Iove-starved women, CoIossus and Pirro Iead the captive men in an armed revoIt against the "unnaturaI" Amazon order.
This 1960 ltalian production is a parody of the wildly popular HercuIean epics of the 50s and 60s. Rod TayIor, mid-way between starring roIes in the 1960 classic, The Time Machine, and Hitchcock's 1963 shocker, The Birds, plays against type as the prancing Pirro. Ed Fury (CoIossus) provides the requisite muscIe flexing, as Iegions of nubiIe Amazons swarm over the men in more ways than one. |
