    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The symbolic design on the large rayed solar disk which can be seen on a wall in the queen's palace imitates the font and spiral design found on the mysterious Phaistos disc (~1700 B.C.), which remains yet to be deciphered.
    • Goofs
      When Maciste saves the small child from the lion, the shots of the real lion (with Gordon Mitchell's stand-in for the sequence) show that the claws are not out and the paws are not being used to strike but rather happily returning the hug it's receiving.
    • Quotes

      Ifito: [having captured Maciste] Now we'll have some entertainment. Take him to the pit!

    • Crazy credits
      Although he was top billed in the role of Maciste, Gordon Mitchell's name appears in the credits as "Mitchell Gordon."

    The extraordinary and luscious Chelo Alonso is the evil queen in this outlandish peplum, and that's enough for me.
    Chelo Alonso is once again on hand in another cheesy muscleman movie. Sadly, she doesn't get to perform one of her seductive dance numbers in this one, an unforgiveable omission if there ever was one. As for the rest of the film, it's mostly Gordon Mitchell's show as he's asked to display his rugged physique in virtually every scene. Fun kitsch, even though Chelo was wasted.
