Retro Friday : PEPLUM Cliché : The Annoying Sidekick

Retro Friday : Old posts updated (original post December 3, 2010)

A cliché that's pretty common but not omnipresent in Peplums: the annoying sidekick. You have beefy hero and he's unexpectedly friends with a dorky sidekick (excluding the Little Goliaths or young kids, of course).

Brad Harris and Fernando Sancho in GOLIATH AGAINST THE GIANTS

Dan Vadis and John Simons in HERCULES THE INVINCIBLE
