Italian Peplum Flick with Kirk MORRIS and Michele GIRARDON
1 December 2023
Adriano BELLINI aka Kirk MORRIS was one of the few Italian bodybuilders who landed leading roles in CINECITTA's sandal films. In this peplum with oriental flair he plays Anthar(es), who helps a beautiful king's daughter (Michele GIRARDON / the Brandy from HATARI!) in her fight against various villains.

It's not really innovative in terms of content, but there are a lot of very entertaining fight scenes to see. A fight between the muscleman and a rhino is original, and at the end it goes into a mysterious hall of mirrors. Roberto DellACQUA (1946-2019), who comes from a well-known family of acrobats who appeared in several CINECITTA films, can be seen as the hero's silent helper. Roberto later became known primarily as a sauce devil fighting against Bud SPENCER.

Not an outstanding contribution to the genre, but you can certainly take a look!
