Musings!


José Greci and Mimmo Palmara in THE TEN GLADIATORS (1963) 

I like this movie but it's probably the movie with the most stock footage from other movies crammed into it. It's mind boggling. In this scene, José's character is in a dungeon of sorts where men are tortured. The scenes of the tortured men are from THE COLOSSUS OF RHODES (1961). The 'new' scenes of José and Mimmo are edited in between those torture scenes. It makes the movie look very cheap but it became a big hit and spawned other two movies. I like the entire series and this one is entertaining but I have to say that the following movies were better (even though they too used scenes from other movies).
