I like this film. I've watched it many times and will watch many more times. It's quite different than the usual stuff made in the day. It feels almost like a 1970s film. It takes place almost entirely in the exterior, with few sets. DUEL OF THE TITANS was also like this and imo the production design/look of this Antonio Margheriti film is more successful than the Sergio Corbucci flick. You *really* feel the struggle and the woodsy/outdoors setting in this. The cast is great; Ettore Manni always gives a great performance while Richard is always believable as an action hero.
Back on Thursday!

I also like this movie and I have watched it many times. It's well paced and the story is well put together. I like this type of PEP because it gives you an idea of how it was 2,000 yrs. ago. Battling an enemy that was hard at times very elusive. I also liked THE SLAVE which was very similar to this movie.
I haven't seen "Giants of Rome" or "The Slave".Thanks for the recommendation.
I would like to also mention SLAVE OF ROME with Guy Madison & Roseanna Podesta.
