    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      It was this movie that provides the fodder for the 1993 Australian film romp "Hercules Returns", which is probably the funniest film EVER made! It revolves around the English 'dubbing' of this old film, which makes for some pretty hilarious moments!
    • Alternate versions
      In the Spanish version, France is uncredited as a production country.
    • Connections
      Edited into Hercules Returns (1993)

    Where's the MST3K crew?
    This movie was listed as a crossover film. It features several figures whom I'm not at all familiar with. At least I could recognize Samson and Hercules. I think this movie mostly suffered because it was just trying to be too many things at once. I believe it wasn't until 1970 that color films were the norm. This movie just looked disgustingly bright.

    I could barely even see what was going on. Maybe it was just the version I saw, but I recall seeing such great quality from early color films like "Distant Drums". The main fight between Samson and Hercules is never even really resolved. The main story is just too jumbled and it gets out of hand when they try to save this village too. I guess the acting isn't that bad. It's still not worth it for me. *1/2
