Trivia

Goofs

When Wooby first appears, supposedly tied to a tree, as the bandits rough him up, his left hand comes out and he quickly puts it back, but it can be seen not to be tied at all.

---

Crazy Credits

In the opening title sequence, several nonspeaking extras or bit players are credited as if they were principals simply because their English-looking names would be more easily readable by American viewers.

User Reviews

Corman-produced, sword-and-sandal quickie with baby-faced muscleman and "Battle-Dome" hero Mike O'Hearn.

This is a straight-to-video adventure flick, made in Russia, probably with the same crew Corman paid to do the Playmate remake of his Pam Grier potboiler THE ARENA. Strictly for those whose guilty pleasures include the DEATHSTALKER and BARBARIAN QUEEN series. Mike 0'Hearn provides the ample beefcake, but in decidedly off-kilter GQ style. B-movie villain Martin Kove is thrown in for good measure as the only other pronounceable cast member. Forgive the histrionics while they flex!
