This cliché is an easy way to start a story where our characters can start anew in a completely different setting.
Alan Steel in HERCULES AND THE BLACK PIRATE
The crew of the Argo from JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS
Jacques Sernas in GODDESS OF LOVE
Kirk Morris is rescued from the beach in CONQUEROR OF ATLANTIS
Lex Barker is not immune to the cliché; from ROBIN HOOD AND THE PIRATES
Cleopatra (Pascale Petit) is saved by Pompeii (Akim Tamiroff) in A QUEEN FOR CAESAR
Ombretta Colli & Steve Reeves in SON OF SPARTACUS
Mark Forest in HERCULES AGAINST THE SONS OF THE SUN
Jacques Sernas, again, in HELEN OF TROY
Brad Harris, Gloria Milland & friends in GOLIATH AND THE GIANTS
Nothing so involves me into a story but when the very strong becomes the very weak, thusly learning humility for probably the first time. "I've never been weak before. Now I am as vulnerable as the little person." Oh, well.
